Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 224 Harboured Grudges The original Milly had been living with the Burnetts for quite stime, but they never took her to visit the ancestors. Now that she had embraced Buddhism, they suddenly remembered to do that.

Heh, but I won't go! She harboured grudges, and now that she was in the original Milly's shoes, she would hold onto those grudges as well! "Amitabha. In this sacred realm of Buddhism, it's more fitting to addressas Emptiness, in accordance with the Buddha's teachings. Besides, all beings are treated equally under the Buddha's protection. Buddhism's profound compassion treats everyone impartially, without the concept of ancestry." Philip was left speechless by her words. For the first time, disbelief clouded his aged face. "Have you He had wanted to say, Have you forgotten your roots? But midway through, he stopped himself. Milly had now embraced Buddhism. Though she belonged to the Burnetts, she had a Buddhist name, and it was appropriate to address her as such.

Moreover, Buddhism preaches equality and boundless compassion, so what she said wasn't entirely incorrect. Philip, typically decisive and assertive, found himself at a loss for words, his face turning an unusual shade of deep red with suppressed anger.

Finally, with an awkward expression on his stern face, he gave himself a way out, though his tone remained authoritative. "Well then... it's good that you see it this way." He couldn't bring himself to call her 'Master Emptiness, so he turned and left in a huff.

Watching Philip's frustration, Milly felt a sense of satisfaction, a smile curling her lips.

She had once tried to please Philip to secure Apollo's position, but now that Jordan was clearly on her side and Apollo's position was secured, he had nothing on her anymore, so she saw no need to be deferential to Philip. Despite his seniority, he had recently attempted to expel her from the Burnetts, so she saw no reason to show him respect.

As she was lost in thought, someone suddenly called out behind her, "Milly!" Milly narrowed her eyes. Didn't I make it clear I should be addressed as Master Emptiness here? Who's that rude. person? Did they not hear me? "Amitabha. I-' Thwack! "Ow!" A sharp tap on her forehead interrupted her solemn words.

Milly's bravado instantly faded, and she quickly grasped his arm, swinging it playfully. "Hehe, it's you, Jordan! I thought it was someone else. You're so formidable and impressive, so of course I wouldn't dare, hehe..." Her flattery was unmistakable.

Jordan, already fond of her, couldn't stay upset seeing her act cute. He looked at her affectionately. "You're really something....

"Even though Grandpa respects Buddhism and its disciples, he's still stubborn and traditional. Arguing with him like that won't benefit you. Despite my current authority in the Burnetts, Grandpa founded Burnett Group. Offending him could hinder your efforts to join Burnett Group." Though officially the head of the Burnetts, he only held 20% of the shares, while Philip held 30%, making him the actual majority shareholder.

Matthew, Jeffrey, Xavier, Jonathan, and Anthony each held 32; Stephanie and their father held 5% each. and the remaining 25% was owned by other shareholders.

Although Milly currently lacked any shares, it didn't concern her. Eventually, everything he owned would belong to her.

However, this was far from sufficient. The shares he possessed weren't enough to secure Milly's future without worry. Acquiring shares from family members was out of the question, leaving the only option to purchase them from other shareholders. Yet these shareholders remained loyal to Philip and wouldn't go against his wishes without his approval.

Ultimately, it all boiled down to convincing Philip.

Milly, however, dismissed the idea with a wave of her hand. "I have no interest in joining Burnett Group anyway.

Who knew when Burnett Group might face financial troubles? Why should I bother becoming part of it? Besides, my dream is to beca movie star. I'm not suited to be a CEO. I would rather die than manage such a large company.

Jordan looked at her with frustration, scolding, "What nonsense are you talking about? I know you love acting, and I support your pursuit of your passion, but acting should remain a hobby, not your entire life. You need to return to a more conventional path eventually." "A conventional path?" Milly frowned. "But I can earn a living through acting. I can support myself. Why can't acting be my life?"

Jordan shot her a sideways glance. The incyou make from acting is nothing compared to what a midn level manager in our company carns. calling it a dream might sound nice, but it's more like a passing fancy. You're giving up the life of a wealthy heiress to struggle in the entertainment industry." Milly remained silent. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

that will unsettle you. I don't want that for you. It's too harsh. Since I I have the ability, I want you to live! carefreely, like a princess. Your world should be filled with flowers and applause, not with shady dealings and darkness." He had expressed these sentiments many times before, and it always warmed Milly's heart. The feeling of security from being cared for made her genuinely happy.

She smiled, revealing her bright teeth. "Jordan, I appreciate your concern, but I don't want to rely on you all the time. It would be too burdensfor you," Jordan's tone turned anxious. "It's not a burden. Taking care of you could never be burdensome...

In comparison to how she had supported all six of them in her past life, this was nothing.

He preferred to believe that this second chance was the universe's way of making up for past regrets. If he couldn't do this now, it would be a waste of this opportunity and his sister's sincere affection.

"But..." Milly was still conflicted. She understood Jordan's good intentions, but his excessive protectiveness left her feeling somewhat adrift.
