Chapter 277 Dislike My Touch
The car door shut with a resounding bang.
George peered through the window, watching the receding figure, and a smile slowly unfurled upon his face.
When Danny entered the vehicle and lowered the soundproof partition, prepared to report, he was astonished by
Mr. Tate's unanticipated grin. “Sir... Mr. Tate, are you alright?”
Can unrequited love render one mad and irrational?
In that moment, Mr. Tate displayed an unusual lightness. Danny, who had stood by Mr. Tate for many years, had
never witnessed such a warm smile. It was as if he had transformed entirely.
With trembling fingers, Danny reached for the contact number of the nearest mental hospital. “Mr. Tate, rest
assured, no matter what transpires, I, Danny, will always stand by your side. My loyalty to the company is
unwavering!”
“Silence!”
Before Danny could complete his vow, a cold, lethal voice sliced through the air. Mr. Tate's gaze turned icy as he
fixed his stare on the quaking Danny, as though he beheld a lifeless form.
Danny shivered under the intense scrutiny. A blend of relief and dread washed over him. He felt relieved that Mr.
Tate hadn't lost his senses, yet he feared for his own safety.
Oblivious to his peculiar behaviour, Mr. Tate answered the ringing phone. “Hello, what is it?”
Scarface’s urgent voice echoed through, “Master, something is amiss. The Ghost Sect organisation has
dispatched numerous operatives to Halturia around the stas you. They seem prepared for action in
Halturia, so please be cautious.”
“How many of them are there?”
“Our intel suggests over a hundred from two branch sects. Their target is clear - you. Should we deploy teams
from Shadow Palace for your protection?”
A flicker of disdain crossed George's eyes. They truly have no regard for their own lives.
“No need. They won't pose a significant threat in Halturia.”
The next day dawned bright and clear.
Arriving at the designated training ground in her military attire, Milly was taken aback to spot an unexpected
presence. Stephanie, with her cascading locks, stood in earnest conversation with Instructor Xavier, appearing
entirely at ease,
Milly’s brow creased with puzzlement. What was Stephanie doing here? Wasn't she a student at Adonio
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUniversity? How had she ended up at Crestfallen University?
The surrounding students began to murmur:
“Is that the instructor's girlfriend? She's quite stunning.”

“No, | heard her call him brother; she must be his sister.”
“To have a brother of lieutenant rank, it sounds almost too good to be true.”
“I heard our instructor is Xavier Burnett, and our classmate Anthony is the sixth brother. This girl is their only
sister and a bona fide heiress”
“Really? Can this be verified?”
“It’s all over the internet. Just look it up.”
“Why bother? Isn't Milly an old-classmate of Anthony's? Let's ask her directly!”
Milly felt caught off guard by the sudden attention.
It was too late for her to run away from the questions,
Amidst a throng of curious classmates, all eyes turned towards Milly. “Milly, aren’t you in the sclass as
Anthony? Is our instructor really related to him?” one ventured, voice tinged with intrigue.
Milly affirmed with a nod. There was little use in concealing the truth, readily accessible through the annals of
cyberspace.
The confirmation sparked heightened interest among her peers. “So, is that girl also an heiress?”
Milly hesitated momentarily, pondering her response.
If she said Stephanie was related to the instructor, how should she cover up if the truth cout one day. If she
said they weren't related, it would clash with public records, since the latter said that Stephanie was their only
sister.
The conundrum seemed unsolvable from every angle.
Just then, Stephanie interjected with an unexpected greeting. “Well, well, what a surprise to see you here. Milly!”
Her tone carried genuine surprise, momentarily easing Milly's apprehensions. Whatever Stephanie’s motives,
this intervention proved beneficial.
Upon reflection, Milly considered that Stephanie might have overheard their conversation and intervened to
avert any disclosures. Protecting the identity of her being an heiress was Stephanie’s paramount
concern.
If Stephanie directed her acting prowess judiciously, she could rival thespians of the highest acclaim.
Milly smiled wryly, meeting Stephanie’s gaze with a flicker of amusement in her eyes. “Ms. Burnett, it's been
quite stime.”

“Are you also in our class? Why didn’t we see you during orientation?”

Her gracious manner, combined with her beauty and wealth, swiftly won over the crowd, who eagerly encircled
her, unintentionally nudging Milly to the periphery.
Milly found herself nearly stumbling amidst the throng of admirers surrounding Stephanie. Before she could
falter, a pair of large hands clasped her waist...
Milly’s complexion blanched, repulsion and queasiness washing over her at the contact. “Ugh!”
She swiftly righted herself, sidestepping the intrusive touch and patting her chest to steady her nerves.
“Is my touch repulsive to you?” The unsettling query hung in the air.
Milly froze, meeting the intense gaze that bore down upon her.
