Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 5 Confrontation She didn't finish reading the book, only skimming through it briefly. Besides Andrew, there was no other character with the surnTate mentioned throughout the story. Since there was no previous mention of him, it was likely that he was just a passerby. As long as she didn't get entangled with the male lead, everything would be fine. As the situation escalated, Milly's parents could no longer ignore it. They had no choice but to apologise to Andrew with forced smiles, attributing the conflict to childish misunderstandings. They then requested that Stephanie apologize to Milly.

Unable to bring herself to apologise to someone she looked down upon in front of everyone, Stephanie dragged her sister into the garden. Standing in the secluded corner of the garden, Stephanie took a deep breath and reluctantly uttered, “Milly, I apologise for my ignorance. Please forgive me." Observing the privacy of the location, Milly couldn't help but acknowledge Stephanie's concern for her reputation. However, she found it excessive for Stephanie to choose such a secluded spot for an apology. But if I don't do something here, it would be a waste. After all, she did take the tto pick a nice spot like this. Heh. Without hesitation, Milly raised her hand and delivered a firm slap to Stephanie's right cheek. “Stephanie, this slap is for falsely accusing me!" Before Stephanie could react, another slap landed on her left cheek. “And this slap is for your deceitful and ungrateful actions!" Recalling how Stephanie had colluded with a competitor and fled abroad with the family's money, Milly felt compelled to take action. Although she was not inclined towards violence, Milly couldn't bear the resemblance between Olivia and her own, especially considering the tragic fate described in the book. Frozen in shock, Stephanie suddenly lunged forward, attempting to bite Milly. "You villain! How dare you strike me! I'll make you pay! Ahh, you villain!" Despite her slender frame, Milly's acting training had equipped her with self-defence skills. She swiftly immobilised Stephanie and issued a stern warning, "If you wish to remain part of the Burnetts, you must rid yourself of these malicious intentions. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to ... send you to the other side.” Her eyes were red, filled with a demon's cruelty. With a menacing glare, Milly instilled fear in Stephanie, causing her to tremble in place. Pushing her away, Milly retrieved a wet tissue from her pocket and cleaned her hands meticulously, repulsed by the encounter. Gods, she is filthy. In the southeast corner of the garden, a man observed the scene with amusement, a hint of mischief dancing in his eyes. The ruthless demeanour of the woman reminded him of his own. Someone was on the phone, urging, "Master George, are you here yet? The general is throwing another tantrum." Interrupted by an urgent call, the man, George, refocused his attention. “I'll be there shortly." Meanwhile, Stephanie, after the confrontation, fled in distress, presumably seeking solace indoors. Unfazed by the commotion, Milly remained composed. Disposing of the wet tissue, she locked eyes with a mysterious figure, sensing his silent observation. Milly frowned. She knew this man must've seen her slap Stephanie. In response, Milly subtly gestured a threat, warning him of the consequences. Regardless of the man's expression in front of her, she turned and walked into the hall. George's dark eyes flickered with intense playfulness. Unable to hold back, a smile crept onto his lips. Did she threaten me?...

As soon as Milly entered the door, she saw Stephanie crying loudly while hugging Olivia and Carlos, "Dad, Mom, Milly hit me." She sobbed. "It hurts so much ...” "Crying over a little injury? That is unladylike. I got shot three times in my leg, and I never made a sound!" Andrew said it proudly. "Well..." At this moment, even Stephanie's parents didn't dare speak to comfort her. After Andrew finished speaking, he looked in a certain direction, suddenly snorted arrogantly, and tapped the floor with his cane. "You brat, chere!" A man in a dignified suit walked up to Andrew. "Grandpa, you said you weren't feeling well? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Milly was confused. Wait, why does this man look so familiar? Isn't he the one I just saw in the garden? Milly felt her head buzz for a moment! Oh no, the delicate and gentle image I established in front of Andrew is now discovered to be fake by his grandson! Andrew suddenly waved at Milly.

"Girl, chere." Milly took a deep breath, forced a smile, and walked up. "Andrew." George raised an eyebrow. She's a lot more refined than she was in the garden. Like a cat that's retracted its claws. "George, didn't you say you had a childhood betrothal with the Burnetts' daughter before? This is your fiancée, so you two should get to know each other." George was silent. Milly was speechless. Everyone couldn't believe what they were hearing. George looked expressionless at Andrew. "Grandpa, how cI don't know about this?"

Even Milly's parents were confused. "Andrew, is there a mistake in this?" Andrew snorted, "Do you think I'd deceive you guys? It was over ten years ago when Philip lost while playing chess, and he ended up betting his granddaughter on our family. Hmph, what's the matter? Still not willing to admit it?" They bet on chess? is that even possible? "Well..." Carlos and Olivia exchanged a glance, both showing disbelief in their eyes. Andrew and Philip were comrades, often playing chess together, and betting was indeed common, but this particular bet was something they had never heard of before. Moreover, Philip was currently receiving treatment in a foreign hospital, so there was no way to verify it. George stood with his hands in his pockets, looking mischievously at Milly, "Grandpa, I feel like Ms. Burnett doesn't seem very happy about this marriage, she looks reluctant." He had a smile on his lips, and his eyebrows were raised ... Milly thought he was annoying. Milly felt an itch in her teeth. This guy is doing it on purpose! Olivia looked at Milly with a worried expression. "Milly, do you agree to this marriage?"
