Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 215 Standing Firm Against Pressure Just as Stephanie guessed it would happen, Philip's temper reached a boiling point, adamant that Milly shouldn't let this chance slip by.

He even went as far as threatening her, insisting she shows the master the proper respect.

"You need to respect the master. If you won't, then as far as I'm concerned, the Burnetts will act as if you never existed! "Do you know who Master Vajra is? Being noticed by him should be seen as a stroke of luck. It's a blessing from the Burnetts' ancestors. What's with the attitude? Who are you putting on this show for? "This is just annoying. Do you only feel happy when I'm upset?" Milly chose not to argue back but didn't budge an inch eithe stance, not even before Philip.

ere was no room for compromise in her Stephanie took hold of her grandpa's arm, trying to calm him. “Grandpa, please don't work yourself up. It's not worth risking your health. Milly probably has her reasons." Philip huffed in disdain, tapping his cane on the ground. "Reasons? What reasons could she have that match mine? Absolutely rebellious! Rebellious!" Watching Philip fuming, Stephanie couldn't help but smirk internally.

But this wasn't enough for her.

Just getting Philip riled up wasn't her goal. She aimed to ultimately push Milly out of the Burnetts, like in her past life, preventing any chance of Milly turning things around! A sly spark flashed in her eyes, but she quickly masked it. "Grandpa, let's not badmouth Milly. She's not what you think. She's only recently returned to the Burnetts and is still getting used to everything. It's normal for her to not know much; she'll learn in time." Philip's face turned stormy. “Hmph, ‘in time'? If she won't take the apprenticeship today, she's out of the Burnetts. We can't accommodate big shots here!" Stephanie barely hid her glee on hearing this.

No wonder she felt lucky tonight. Her fortune is indeed looking up. By getting the apprenticeship with. Master Karuna, she'll have the support of both the Tates and the Burnetts moving forward, smoothing her path.

Utilising Milly's defiance to provoke her grandfather worked like a charm in driving Milly out! This lucky break really does match up with her lucky divination stick.

Now, it's about pushing her grandfather over the edge. She glanced at Milly, standing quietly by, and forced her: "Milly, look how upset grandpa is. Just take the apprenticeship. Master Vajra is influential; he'll treat you right. What will you do if you keep this up and Grandpa kicks you out?" Her tone was serious but with a hint of meddling.

Chapter 215 Standing Firm Against Pressure such daring plots? She first praised Master Vajra's abilities, subtly suggesting Milly was ungrateful.

Then, she reinforced Philip's determination to remove Milly from the Burnetts, deepening his resentment.

Quite the tactic, really.

Noticing her grin, Philip beceven angrier, his cane almost hitting her. “You think this is funny? You dare to laugh? What did Stephanie get wrong? She's younger and wiser than you. Do you even qualify to be compared to her, Milly?" Milly dodged the cane easily and calmly repl Indeed, I am neither comparable nor wish to be." "You!!!" Philip tried to compose himself, his tone serious. “I'll ask again, do you reverence this master or not?" Milly's face was blank. "I do not." "Fine, then you're no longer a Burnett. Return to where you cfrom. The Burnett won't stand for your disrespect, you disrespectful kid!" The older man's face was contorted with fury, his voice firm, indicating his genuine anger.

"Grandpa!" Initially, Jordan stayed out of it, thinking Philip was merely upset and would settle down. He never imagined Philip would want to kick Milly out of the family.

Milly had barely returned a few days, and he was already talking about sending her away? Over his dead body! "Grandpa, if Milly doesn't want to be an apprentice, why force her? It might seem like an honour to you. Still, for someone not interested, it feels like a burden." Jordan stood before Milly, protecting her.

Anthony and Jonathan also chimed in, shouting in frustration.

"Grandpa, are you losing it? Would you still send her away if she were your granddaughter, your son or daughter's child?" "Yeah, seriously losing it!" Philip was visibly upset, his grip tightening on the cane to the point it nearly punctured the floor. Regardless of being in a temple, he couldn't contain his frustration and sharply said, "This is absurd! Are you trying to makelose my mind, or what? "What I say matters. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. If you're unwilling to be a learner, it's tto say goodbye to the Burnetts!" Milly was just behind Jordan, remaining quiet with her lips tightly pressed together. All the while, she was carefully figuring things out.

She had a hefty bank balance and the 4.5 million dollars she had cleverly taken from Stephanie, summing up to a comfortable fortune for her and Apollo to enjoy a good life elsewhere. As she counted the days, the financial collapse of the Burnetts seemed imminent.

Chapter 215 Standing Firm Against Pressure If she chose to leave now, she could secure a safetyfor her brothers once the Burnetts hit rock bottom. However, there was a massive hurdle - she was in debt to George for a whopping 135 million dollars.

How she planned to settle that was anyone's guess. Selling an organ was out of the question, given the astronomical amount owed.

Amidst this, the Burnett household was in the throes of a loud argument, a personal dilemma that the Tates observed from a distance without intervening.

Even though George had repeatedly turned down Master Vajra's offer to mentor him, causing Andrew initially ve to respond in anger and exasperation, he had since becdesensitised to the rejection and now chose to overlook it. This time, witnessing Philip's attempt to send Milly packing, Andrew didn't try to mediate.

Instead, he appeared pleased, squinting his eyes and nudging George with a sly suggestion Looks like Philip is finally showing Milly the door. You better take this chance to bring her into the Tate fold. Even if it's not as a daughter-in-law, having her as a granddaughter works too! 'She's the one your grandma chose for us with her bracelet. No matter what, we need to get her on our side! 'I was worried it would be tough, but watching Philip practically throw her out makes our job a piece of cake!" The way he said it made him sound almost like a trafficker.
