A Film Queen

Chapter 43 Delicate Rural Charm After numerous failed attempts, Milly gave up in frustration.

Oh well. I'll figure it out later, she thought to herself.

"I want to go hnow," Milly announced, her voice tinged with disappointment.

George made no move to stop her. He rose from his seat and offered, “I'll have the driver take you hMilly declined, saying, “It's okay. I can take a taxi.

When she put on her backpack and was ready to leave, suddenly, the wind was blowing ferociously, thunder was roaring, and rain was pouring down.

It happened in a matter of seconds.

Milly gazed at the dark sky and pouring rain. She was completely taken aback. How could the weather change so fast? It was sunny just moments ago.

Observing the downpour outside, George suggested, "It's raining heavily. Why don't you stay overnight? I'll inform your brother." Squinting sceptically at him, Milly replied. "That won't be necessary. I won't get wet in the car. Do you have an umbrella?" "Yes, George replied, signaling to the servant nearby. "Get her an umbrella." Yes, Mr. Tate." Milly glanced at the storm outside. She pursed her lips, concluded that she just needed an umbrella, and rode in a cab.

However, the security guard rushed in. He looked panicked as he reported, "Mr. Tate, I heard there's a typhoon approaching, and the roads outside are blocked. We need to bring the car inside quickly." This news made Milly furrow her brows completely.

How could the weather change so suddenly? And there's a typhoon approaching now? Turning to the man beside her, her eyes filled with suspicion.

Under her scrutinising gaze, George remained composed. He raised an eyebrow and quipped, "You don't think I control the weather, do you?" Milly couldn't say anything.

Perhaps she was overthinking. Even if he possessed extraordinary abilities, controlling the weather was beyond his power.

The rain persisted in pouring outside, and it was intensifying rapidly into a torrential downpour. As the security guard had predicted, a violent storm erupted, darkening the sky and creating an apocalyptic.

scene.

Sun, 23 Jun ti Chapter 43 Delicate Rural Charmi about staying at the mansion for the night? I'll take you to school once the typhoon has passed in the morning. It's not safe to venture out now." Surveying the darkened sky, Milly was compelled to agree. With the roads blocked, leaving was no longer an option.

Thank you then." Upon hearing her acceptance, Danny was elated, almost jumping with joy. He quickly offered, "I'll have the maid escort you upstairs right away." Milly nodded. She shouldered her school backpack and followed the maid upstairs.

As Milly disappeared from view, a cold voice pierced the air. Coupled with the howling wind outside the villa, it carried ssinister undertones.

"Danny!" Danny swallowed nervously, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, and his legs trembling involuntarily.

Oh no, did I act too forward earlier? Trying too hard to impress and keep Ms. Burnett in the mansion, right in the face of Mr. Tate? Will he take offense? If only I hadn't been so eager to flatter her. Sob, sob, sob.

"I will double your salary for this month. Inform the finance department on your own. Also, let them know that the jewelry design department had exceptional performance; they need to double their salary this month, too." "What?" Danny was momentarily speechless in shock at the unexpected news.

Before he could react, George had already made his way toward where Milly had left.

Indeed, buttering up the right person can open many doors! The brightness of the space briefly blinded Milly upon entering.

Not an exaggeration, but the sight truly blinded her.

The entire door frand window frames are embedded with sparkling diamonds; the floor is paved with large pieces of solid-coloured gemstones; and the ceiling is adorned with precious agate. Even the decorative paintings are made of colourful wild pearls. Plus, all the furniture in the room is pink.

At first glance, it truly gives off a kind of exquisite rustic charm.

She was, after all, the best actress in her previous life. She had encountered her fair share of valuable items. With just one look, she could tell that everything in this room, from the tiny diamonds to the large gemstones, was authentic.

Unable to contain her awe, she clicked her tongue in amazement. The wealth of this family was trul immense, evident in the opulent decoration of their home.

She thought this display of luxury was quite extravagant, but as she turned a corner of the room and anticipated a simple wardrobe, she was taken aback by a vast walk-in closet spanning a hundred square meters. It was stocked with everything from lingerie and swimsuits to evening gowns.

Chapter 43 Delicate Rural Charm Despite having seen grandeur before, Milly was still surprised by the sight, Did the Tates truly spend so lavishly on their guests? Are they not worry that their money would run our? Suppressing the temptation to pluck the diamonds from the wall, she took a deep breath, selected a suitable nightgown, and proceeded to freshen up.

Upon emerging, she noticed her phone on the table flashing.

Glancing at it, she was surprised to see a long list of missed calls from Jordan, along from Anthony. She had completely forgotten to return their calls.

Swiftly, she called Jordan to assure him of her safety, finally feeling a sense of relief.

However, the phone lit up once more, displaying an unfamiliar number.

th a few messages Well, not entirely unfamiliar, as she had employed smeans to discover that the number sending the recording of Stephanie belonged to this number.

It was Melanie.

She messaged me.

'Milly, it's Melanie. I suddenly recalled something important to share with you. I mentioned to Stephanie earlier about Mr. Hawkins visiting our school to scout for ballet dancers. She appeared to be thrilled. While I am unsure of her intentions towards you, I felt it was necessary to remind you. Please be aware. A ballet dancer role?

It appeared that there was indeed a mention of this plot in the . With Stephanie's exceptional dancing abilities, she outshoned all the m performers captured the attention of Mr. Hawkins, and effortlessly secured the role. Subsequently, she even won the Best Supporting Actress award for her performance, propelling her into the entertainment industry and laying a solid foundation for her future endeavours.

The original owner was also keen on the role and attempted to vie for it, but she lacked ballex skills and ended up being ridiculed and belittled by Stephanie. The incident almost drove her into depression. Milly smirked. She was determined to win the role this time! After reflecting on this, she replied to Melanie, acknowledging the message, before casually placing the phone back on the table.
