Philip snorted coldly and said, “At least you have some sense.” 

Milly continued, I remember a saying in Buddhism, where Ren 

purifies the heart; who among us 

is without fault? Grandpa, you’re a believer in Buddha and should understand this.” 

Philip’s face darkened instantly when she brought up the Buddha in their conversation. He asked, “What do you mean by that? What are you trying to say?” 

Milly smiled slightly and said, “Buddha sees all beings as potential Buddhas, but He does not cleanse the 

of those who are corrupt. You don’t need to repent or apologise for this incident. But Grandpa, 

you’ve been a devout follower for most of your life. Would you let a small matter like this jeopardise your faith? Or aren’t you afraid Buddha might rebuke his devotee?” 

“You brat!” Philip panted heavily as he glared at her with a mix of anger and hesitation. 

Philip had to concede that Milly’s words were like a sharp needle, precisely piercing his heart. 

Her statements might lack a solid theoretical foundation, but for a believer, they carried significant weight. Because she was the last disciple of Master Nirvana, her words held even more credibility. 

Philip believed in Buddhism because he had taken many lives in his young days. His hands were stained with blood. Even though it was his enemies blood, he feared that the sins of his killings might one day befall his descendants. So, he turned to Buddhism, hoping that Buddha would absolve him of his sins. 

Now, if he angered Buddha over such a trivial matter, wouldn’t all his previous efforts be in vain? 

He started to struggle within himself. 

Milly seemed to understand his thoughts, and she watched him quietly. 

Her argument was a spontaneous fabrication. For most people, such words would have little effect, but for someone with strong faith like Philip, they were powerful 

Of course, Philip could dismiss her claim, but doing so would plant a seed of doubt and a ticking bomb in his heart. He would think of this whenever things didn’t go his way. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

A smart person wouldn’t invite such a risk. 

Just then, Anthony returned from the restroom. He still looked pale, and water was dripping from his hair. Evidently, he just washed his face. 

He muttered to himself as he walked, making a wide circle to avoid Fiona; clearly, Anthony was afraid of her. 

Anthony began, “Milly, let me tell you, I just 

“Anthony, come here!” 

Anthony was about to pityfully complain to Milly, but he was interrupted by a deep, authoritative voice. 

When he heard this, Anthony recoiled in terror.

himself, saying, “Grandpa, you’ve already hit me and scolded me. Even if you don’t believe me, do you have to keep at it? How can I prove I didn’t bully her? She’s the one who bullied me! I even feel like hands aren’t my own after washing them so much.”

Philip’s expression was stern. He ignored Anthony’s complaints and approached slowly with his cane. 

Anthony had always feared Philip, having grown up under the threat of his cane. As Philip approached, he instinctively thought he was in for another beating. 

He cowered, covering his head, and began to wail, “Grandpa, please believe me! I swear! I can swear on Jonathan’s life: I’m innocent! You can hit me, but please not in front of everyone. I have some dignity too.” 

He cried for a while but felt no pain. 

Anthony was puzzled. 

Carefully, he opened one eye to peek at what was going on. He saw Philip stand upright in front of him. The next moment, Philip’s hand rested on his shoulder. The old man said, “Just now… I have misunderstood you. If you need anything, tell Arthur. I’ll compensate you for this.” 

He couldn’t bring himself to tell Anthony he was sorry. 

For a man who had spent his entire life commanding respect, valuing his dignity and pride above all else, even the slightest gesture of him admitting his mistake was already beyond anyone’s expectations. 

As Arthur helped Philip away. Anthony remained in shock, still clutching his head, and stood on the same 

Spot. 

Who was he? Where was he? What had just happened? 

After a moment, he turned mechanically to Milly and spoke with a trembling voice. Anthony said, “Milly, you won’t believe this, but I think I just stood and fell asleep, having the most terrifying daydream.” 

Milly had no words. 

Everyone else was speechless. 

In the background, Xavier fixed his gaze on Anthony. There was envy in his eyes. 

Milly was protective of Anthony. She even stood up for Anthony to go against their grandfather. When would she ever defend him like that? 

Just once would be enough! 

Anthony just sat down and was about to bite into an apple. He looked up and saw Xavier glaring eagerly at him. Anthony was startled. 

He blinked. Then, he looked at the apple and back at Xavier. 

Hmm? Did Xavier want the apple? Why didn’t he just take one? 

Following the family’s principle of brotherly love, Anthony handed the apple to Xavier. He said, “Here, you can have it.” 

Xavier didn’t move. He continued to stare at Anthony with an unreadable expression. Anthony felt a chill

down his spine and rubbed his neck. He asked Xavier, “What’s wrong?” 

Xavier finally moved. He eyed the apple with disdain and said, “You eat it.” 

Anthony was bewildered. What’s his problem? 

81%1 

He had glared ferociously at the apple for a long time, and he was upset when I kindly offered it. Hmph! Xavier must be jealous because the apple I picked is sweeter! 

Thinking this through. Anthony eagerly handed the apple to Milly. He said, “Milly, you have it. This apple must be really sweet!” 

Milly raised an eyebrow and asked, “How do you know?” 

Anthony glanced at Xavier from the corner of his eyes; his brother’s expression had turned even darker at this point. Anthony said, “Hehe, it’s a secret. Just trust me!” 

After Philip left, Jordan also left to handle work matters. The previously tense atmosphere of the banquet lightened considerably after the two LEFT
