Chapter 189 Sign with Jonathanâs Agency
Finished
Jonathan looked down, his voice filled with desperation. âI just got too excited seeing Milly. I didnât know someone was recording me.
âBesides, Milly and I both have the last name Bernett, and they still canât figure out weâre siblings. Itâs like theyâre stupid or something. Iâm innocent.â
Both Milly and Jordan were dumbfounded.
Heâs quite good at making excuses, but nothing else.
Milly smiled wryly. âJonathan, the last name Bernett is pretty common, and we havenât publicly disclosed our relationship, so itâs normal that they donât know weâre related.â
Unexpectedly, Jonathan insisted on his innocence, pouting and looking slightly haughty. âEven if itâs a common last name, what about our physical resemblance? Weâre like two peas in a pod; theyâre obviously too blind to see it, and yet theyâre still accusing me!â
Milly was speechless.
Two peas in a pod?
The two of us may share a certain resemblance, but weâre not even remotely similar, let alone identical. In the entertainment industry, where there are countless handsome and beautiful people, having a few lookalikes is perfectly normal. Otherwise, they wouldnât call people a version of others.
Jonathan naturally caught the eye of the two of them and subtly tensed up. Iâve been trying my best too. Iâve even had the agency issued a statementâ¦.
Milly took a glance at the online trends and saw that most of Jonathanâs fans had calmed down after the statement was released, so it didnât cause much loss.
However, there were still many netizens, especially Oliverâs fans, who clung to this hot topic like their lives. depended on it. They launched scathing attacks and snarky comments.
Jonathan was fineâhis fans werenât going to back down when someone insulted their idol. They rallied together to retaliate with vicious comeback
But Milly was in a world of trouble. She had no fans, no Twitter account, and Oliverâs fans were scolding her online. Jonathanâs female fans were cursing her out, and some even dug up her exam results, which got her trending the last time.
Right after that, #UnderachieverMilly began trending once more,
Last time, Alan had decided to help take it down because he couldnât stand it. This time, it seemed like things were worse and could not be contained, with fans having a much bigger reaction.
She had just shot her first show and started her entertainment career, yet she was already criticised online and trending. If she didnât handle it well, sheâd be blacklisted from the industry.
While being blacklisted might mean fame in a way, it would also ruin her image and make it hard for her to get decent roles, thus limiting her possibilities. This wasnât what she wanted.

Chapter 189 Sign with Jonathanâs Agency:
Finished
But once I do that, Iâll be saddled with the label of âMs. Burnett; thatâs impossible for me to shake off afterwards, and I wonât be able to help the Burnetts after we go bankrupt!
Jordan noticed Millyâs furrowed brow and gently stroked her hair before saying, âDonât worry. I have a plan.â
Milly asked. âReally? What is it?â
âYes.â Jordan nodded. âYou donât have a contract with any company right now, so you can use this opportunity to sign with my agency instead. Then the agency will take care of you like one of our own.â
Milly was taken aback.
Meanwhile, Jonathanâs eyes lit up with excitement as he nodded enthusiastically. âThatâs a great idea! My agency doesnât have any signed artists right now, and if you join us, I can give you all the resources we receive as a team! You can stay at home and relax while I go out and find you opportunities!â
Jordan shot a glance at Jonathanâs overexcited expression before freezing him with an icy stare.
Scared into submission, Jonathan sat back down before Jordan turned to Milly again, his eyes softening
once more.
âJonathanâs agency might not be big, but its PR and legal teams are both under the same umbrella as the Burnetts, so you wonât have to worry about their ability. And since weâre working together, Iâll feel more at
case.
The entertainment industry was a treacherous sea, and he was planning to create an entertainment department just for Milly anyway. But before he could even put his plan into action, this situation arose.
After some thought, the most stable approach seemed to be signing Milly up with Jonathanâs agency. On one hand, it would alleviate his concerns about her being taken advantage of or bullied, and on the other hand, being under the Burnettsâ wing would ensure she had access to all the resources she needed.
Despite Millyâs repeated insistence on relying on herself, as her older brother, he couldnât just sit back and do nothing.
Milly pursed her lips, thinking that this plan was indeed feasible and beneficial to her.
âOkay, then. Shall we sign the contract today?â she asked.
Jordan smiled. âNot yet. As long as you agree with this plan, Iâll prepare everything on the PR side. Whether you sign or not, it doesnât matter. Itâs our company, after all. We can choose whether or not to sign. Itâs just a formality.
âBesides,â Jordan continued, âyouâre only temporarily working at Jonathanâs agency. Once youâre established, Iâll set up a studio for you and let you be your own boss.â
Milly felt a warmth in her heart.
Every word Jordan spoke was filled with genuine affection for her.
Thanks, Jordan. I get it now,/she said.
It seemed like Bonnie and I are not meant to be.

Just then, Jonathan, who was sitting quietly, suddenly said, âHuh? Whatâs going on? Has Oliver gone crazy?â
Milly was perplexed.
âWhatâs wrong?â she asked.
Jonathanâs eyes widened as he handed her his phone and explained, âLook at this! Oliver is basically scolding his loyal fans!â
Milly took the phone and looked, only to find that it was true.
Oliverâs Sweetheart: âHaha, congratulations to Jonathanâs fans on having a sisterâinâlaw! This girl is a. master of fabricating rumours. She did that with Michelle before, and now sheâs trying to make up rumours with Jonathan. Itâs neverâending! Please tell me, Jonathanâs fans, are you happy with such a sister-
inâlaw?
Oliver retweeted Oliverâs Sweetheart: âWhat the hell are you talking about? Why are you spouting nonsense with my name in your username? Youâre making me look bad!â
Oliverâs Sweetheart: âWow, Oliver, are you finally noticing me? Wait, Oliver, are you alright? Iâm helping you by fighting against the enemy! Iâm your No. 1 fan!â
Oliver retweeted Oliverâs Sweetheart: You can just target Jonathan and leave Milly alone! Sheâs a remarkable figure, and even I have to address her respectfully. Who are you to say anything about her! Go apologise to her immediately, or else Iâll send a subpoena to your doorstep!
Oliverâs Sweetheart: âWhat the heck?â
