When Anthony spoke, a flecting hint of sharpness glinted in Stephanie’s eyes, swiftly masked as she looked up again, returning to her usual innocent demeanour. 

Xavier, Anthony, please don’t fight because of me. If copying the family rules can cheer up Anthony, then I’ll do it. I’m just a bit weak lately, so it might take me some time.” 

Seeing her maturity, Xavier felt even more concerned. “Stephanic 

Anthony, on the other hand, shrugged. “Oh? Really? I don’t buy it!” 

Stephanie was angry. 

Anthony! 

It doesn’t matter. Once she got what she wanted, Anthony would be the first one she threw away! 

She hadn’t fully gotten what she wanted and hadn’t firmly established herself in the Burnetts, so she couldn’t afford to act rashly! 

Her brothers‘ affection for her had already started to shift. It was because she was reborn a bit late, and many things weren’t under control in time. But it was okay. Philip still called the shots. As long as she kept her grandpa’s favour, even Jordan wouldn’t dare to openly do anything to her. 

Just now, Anthony got it half right. It was true she was joining the worship because the Tates would be there, but it was not just about George. 

Earlier, she had underestimated things and actually offended Andrew. This time, she was going to mend. fences because, besides her own grandpa, the Tates were also valuable backers. 

And there was something even more crucial. She remembered that Master Karuna would lead this ancestral ritual. He was a highly respected master, admired by both families‘ grandfathers. If she can win his favour and become his apprentice, both grandfathers will see her differently, which would make her path ahead much smoother. 

In the previous life before the Burnetts went bankrupt, she had tried to please Philip by collecting many habits of Master Karuna and studying numerous Buddhist scriptures. Unexpectedly, these efforts were coming in handy this time. 

So, she felt very confident. 

This time, what she wanted wasn’t just about the Burnetts! 

Philip timely interrupted their bickering, tapping his cane on the floor. “Enough, enough! Bickering early in the morning gives me a headache. 

“What time is it already? Still not going downstairs and making the family wait. Really spoiled. Go wake that girl up! Philip exclaimed irritably. 

The servant nodded quickly. “Yes.” 

But just as he took a few steps, he saw Milly coming downstairs and hurriedly called out, “Miss, you’re here

“Yeah.” 

Milly, holding Apollo’s hand, had just reached the bottom of the stairs when she saw the bustling crowd. momentarily stunned in place. 

Is today a special day? 

Why didn’t anyone tell me? 

Anthony was feeling a bit down earlier, but now seeing Milly coming down, he felt revitalized instantly. 

“Milly! Come sit with us, let’s eat!” 

But when he turned and saw Apollo trailing behind, he frowned and stepped forward to pull his hand away firmly. “Hey, what are you doing? You know about personal space, right?” 

Apollo never liked strangers touching him, and now, seeing his hand forcibly pulled from his sister’s grip, his face darkened instantly, his frustration evident. “Argh!” 

Anthony was startled by his gaze but dared to confront him. “What are you staring at? I’m your older brother now, you have to listen to me!” 

After that, he couldn’t help but feel relieved. 

In the Burnetts, he was sixth in line, the youngest boy. Although there were younger sisters beneath him, they y were girls after all–whether it was Stephanie or Milly, he couldn’t quite pull off the Jordan act 

But now! 

Things were different! 

He wasn’t the youngest anymore. He had a younger brother now, so he could boss someone around! 

With that thought, he straightened up a bit, his expression turning unusually serious. “As your brother. I feel it’s my job to teach you some basic manners, like… argh!” 

But before he could finish, Apollo shoved him to the ground with one hand. 

“Ouch!” Anthony yelped, slapping the ground. Apollo clapped his hands and then planted his right foot on Anthony’s back, clearly warning him. 

Enraged, Anthony howled, “I’m your brother! How dare you push me like that! You’re disrespecting your elders, rebellious brat!” 

Apollo couldn’t even understand the most basic words, let alone the string of words Anthony had just rauled off. He didn’t pay any attention and, after clearing the obstacle between him and his sister, naturally took Milly’s hand again. 

“Ah–woo!” 

Looking up with his bright, delicate face and smiling sweetly with curved eyebrows and eyes, he appeared completely opposite to the fierce person who had just knocked Anthony down. 

Milly awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth. When she looked up, as expected, everyone in the room was stunned in place.

Only Philip nodded approvingly.

“Very good, excellent! That speed and strength just now were almost identical to mine back in the day. This kid’s got talent. 

“Apollo, come over here, sit with me,” he said. 

If someone else had heard these words, they would probably feel grateful and sit down immediately. 

However, Apollo clearly showed no interest. He continued to circle around Milly, exclaiming. “Ah–woo, ah- 

WOO 

He acted as if he was saying, ‘Milly, look at me, am I being good?” 

Milly stayed silent. 

Philip felt ignored, his eyebrows immediately furrowing in clear annoyance at being disobeyed. He leaned back in his chair, his face tense. 

Milly quickly explained, “Grandpa, Apollo is still shy. He doesn’t feel comfortable with so many people around, that’s why he didn’t want to come over.” 

Upon hearing her explanation, Philip let out a cold snort. His stern expression softened slightly, but he remained serious and rigid. “Kids these days are really spoiled. Back in ready to fight anyone and anything, but we weren’t as delicate as this.” 

ur day, we faced battles head–on, 

Finally, he kindly said, “Okay, you and him come sit with me. Let’s eat, and after we’re done, we’ll head 

out. 

The dining table at the Burnetts‘ residence was big, with Philip at the head. There were two 

o seals next to him, usually reserved for Carlos and Olivia. 

Philip was traditional, so even when they weren’t there, those seats stayed empty. 

He’d just said they could sit next to him… 

But where? Could it be those two seats? 

As Milly hesitated, a pair of fair and slender hands had already pulled out a seat for her. 

Jordan looked at her. “Come on, Milly, take a seat.” 

Everyone at the table was staring at them with various expressions. 

Some looked blank, some excited, some indifferent, some puzzled, some disdainful, and some reproachful. 

In short, these looks were more colourful than anything Milly had faced when she was a famous actress in her previous life. 

Milly glanced around the table, let out a small sigh, feeling a mix of awkwardness and guilt, and then gently guided Apollo to sit down beside her.
