Chapter 147 A Bitter Farewell
Stephanie never expected that Jonathan would humiliate her so publicly. Her face paled as she confronted him. Jonathan, how could you
treat me like this? You once told me you would always treasure me and
only me forever!â
Hearing her words, Jonathan frowned, sinking into deep thought.
After a long pause, he finally said. âDid I say such foolish things before?â
Realizing his blunder, he quickly expressed his loyalty to Milly. âMilly, let me explain. I must have been out of my mind to say such idiotic things. From now on, my loyalty is only to you. Iâll do anything for you. I swear on⦠uh⦠Anthonyâs life!â
Milly sighed. Thereâs no need to go that far.â
Oh boy. first he swore on Oliverâs life, now itâs Anthonyâs!
It seems he has two people he doesnât care much, and he was using both for his vows.
Watching this scene unfold, Joy burst into laughter. âHahaha! This is just so humiliating! Some people live in their fantasies, thinking they deserve admiration. But in reality⦠itâs so pathetic! Nobody cares about her at all!â
Joy had always disliked Stephanieâs pretentious behaviour, and her loud voice left little to the imagination.
The people in the crowd around them were enjoying the drama while whispering gossip they already knew. It wasnât hard to guess the content of their whispered remarks.
âYou!â
Stephanie gritted her teeth in frustration. For the first time in her life, she was publicly humiliated and couldnât hold back her tears.
She turned and ran away while covering her face.
After she left, the crowd who were watching the excitement didnât dare to stay any longer and quickly dispersed.
-As soon as everyone left, the noisy lounge was instantly quiet.
Milly frowned when she looked at the lounge that was turned into a mess by everyone. She got up to clean it up.
As a result, before she could start, Jonathan, who was still in his hospital gown, stopped her with a bright smile. âMilly, you sit down. Let me handle the cleaning.â
Now that everyone was gone, he could finally treat her as his younger sister freely. How wonderful!
Taking advantage of the absence of George and Anthony, Jonathan was determined to impress his sister and secure the top spot in her heart.
Watching him struggle with his limp while cleaning up, Milly sighed deeply. âForget it, you should sit down and let me do it.â

âNo way!â Jonathan immediately objected. âWhat kind of brother lets his sister do the chores? My sister is meant to be a little princess!â
Thunk! A suitcase was dragged aside and fellâ¦.
â
Thud! â An ornament fell from the tableâ¦
Crash! The brand new coffee cup was brokenâ¦.
Milly winced and closed her eyes in distress.
Despite the chaos, Jonathan was more energetic than ever, a âgood brotherâ aura radiating from him.
He tried to strike up a conversation while working. âBy the way, Milly, youâre wrapping up your scenes tomorrow, right? Do you plan to go home?â
âMm.â Milly responded faintly,
Jonathan asked, âCould you stay a bit longer? If you leave, I wonât be able to see you.â
âMy scenes are finished. So, thereâs no reason for me to stay. Besides, I need to go home to check my scores and apply for college,â Milly explained.
Jonathan, who had been so animated moments ago, deflated upon hearing this.
His scenes werenât done yet, and having injured himself, heâd be delayed a few more days. If Milly went home, sheâd run into Anthony. That guy would badmouth him, and what if she started distancing herself because of it?
No, I canât let that happen!
I have to help myself!
Jonathan coughed lightly before speaking up again. âUh, Milly, there are a few things I need to tell you.â
âMm,â Milly responded softly.
Jonathan leaned over the sofa; his eyes fixed intently on Milly when he spoke with a resolute tone. âMilly, listen. Anthony may be only two years younger than me, but I grew up with him. And let me tell you, not a
Lattle. When we were kids, I stole sweet potatoes single truthful word comes out of his mouth. He loves with him, but I was the only one who got punished!â
âAnd another thing, heâs broke! Donât be fooled by how George always gives him money. That money i his. Easy money never lasts. If you want jewellery or designer bags, he wonât be able to buy them for you. But I have money, lots of it! I can buy you anything you want, as much as you want. And not just that, I
alsoâ¦â
âStop!â
Hearing his increasingly frantic speech, Milly raised her hand to cut him off.
Jonathan looked at her with his lips pouted, clearly upset that he hadnât finished listing his good qualities
yet.
der wat to the point. What are you trying to say?â

A cheeky grin spread across Jonathanâs face as he buttered her up. âHeh, my Milly is so clever!â
âI just wanted to say, when you go home, donât forget me because of Anthony. It isnât right to ditch the old for the new. Thatâs just immoral!â
Milly was stunned.
Moments ago, she had suspected something was off Jonathan, and now she was certain of it.
Sure, he had been protective in the
