Chapter 231 Something Big Is Happening With her older brother's backing from outside, even if she contemplated taking risks, she likely would not- act rashly.

Finding George was not surprising. The only families capable of matching the Burnetts in strength and influence were the Tates and a few other notable ones. Since she was not acquainted with the others, her attention naturally turned to the Tates.

Furthermore, although Old Mr. Tate had suggested she becthe Tates' daughter-in-law, George's acceptance of the proposal was unclear. His ambiguous position suggested uncertainty in the adult world, where not stating a clear decision often means keeping options open. This ambiguity gave her sleeway.

Satisfied with her strategic approach, she inwardly praised herself for possessing the qualities of a protagonist, always prepared with a backup plan.

George's expression hardened as he focused on Milly. "Do you think I accepted her proposal?" Milly kept her face neutral, meeting his look directly. "I'm not interested, and I don't make assumptions." Her refusal to speculate did not mean she lacked insight. She could imagine the smirk on Stephanie's face even if she could not see her, confirming to her that he had agreed.

Returning to her detached manner, she gestured towards the door. "Have you said everything you need to? I'm going to bed." "Hold on," George said, his smile disappearing as he let out a soft sigh and becmore earnest.

"I only agreed to Stephanie signing with Tate's agency and promised to find her a suitable agent, excluding Bonnie. Bonnie isn't managed by the Tates, and I don't have the authority to handle her affairs. Even if she were to sign with Bonnie, our agency's rules would prevent it." Milly listened without emotion until he was done, then responded, "This seems to be a matter between you two; there's no reason to involve me." George took a deep breath, saying, "You should know Stephanie might be connected to the Lloyds. During our conversation, she alluded to being close to them. However, the Burnetts and the Lloyds have had no business dealings or shared interests, which strikesas odd.

"If she truly has ties to the Lloyds, the Burnetts need to be cautious, as the depth of her involvement with them isn't clear." Milly's expression tensed. “The Lloyds..." The Lloyds represented a significant threat, enveloped in secrecy and influence. Yet, if her memory was accurate, the Lloyds had not appeared in the .

The story follows Stephanie's romantic adventures and the Burnett family's trials and relocation. Throughout the book, Stephanie never interacted with anyone surnamed "Lloyd," Milly only becaware of the Lloyds after entering the book.

Wait a second, something doesn't line up...

Sat, Chapter 231 Something Big Is Happening part of the story? Maybe her arrival sped up their introduction? It seemed... likely.

* Pite If Stephanie indeed had the backing of the Lloyds, then she would be virtually untouchable in the future due to the Lloyds considerable wealth and enigmatic power, which could disrupt the entire balance of Haltura.

The specifics of their influence remained a mystery.

Watching Milly's focused expression, George continued, 'If Stephanie is serious about joining the Tates. she ought to sign the contract. This way, by following the usual procedures for artists, we can monitor any ulterior motives she might have, keeping you out of harm's way.* George, ever the strategist, likely had his own reasons for wanting Stephanie to join the Tates-mainly to keep a close eye on her and ensure she did not engage in any actions that might endanger Milly.

Milly bit her lip. "I don't need your protection. Her schemes won't affect me." She thought she might be imagining things, but it seemed like her bracelet began to swing more noticeably after she spoke.

Milly glanced at her left wrist; fortunately, the bracelet was concealed under her sleeve and remained unseen.

George, oblivious to the bracelet, simply acknowledged her statement with a thoughtful “Hmm.” "I'm heading to Nlirone tomorrow to handle smatters. If you need anything while I'm away, Danny will be available to assist you," he said.

Milly responded with a nod and said, "Okay." After George departed, Milly found herself lying awake in bed, restless.

Eventually, the bracelet on her wrist settled down.

The Tates... Daisy... George... Bracelet... Nirvana...

All these seemingly disparate elements appeared to be interconnected, and somehow, she was caught up in it all.

What secrets did this bracelet hold? Ding-dong! Just then, her phone lit up.

sorry It was a message from Leon: 'Milly, I'm heading to Maldonia for a bit, something's cup there. I'm I can't be there for your school opening ceremony. I'll make it up to you when I return! Leon is going abroad? Is it really that urgent?

Milly quickly sat up and dialed the number, but a message indicatech that the phone was already turned off -perhaps he was already on the plane? Chapter 231 Something Big Is Happening Ding-dong! Another text message arrived.

Oliver texted, 'Hey, boss, I have to head overseas for a few days, so I won't be able to help you rule Twitter. to help y But don't worry; I've briefed Robin, and my PR team will continue to support you. Fly high, boss, we're in this together!' Milly was at a loss for words.

What he said was truly grating! On impulse, she tried to call, only to find that the phone was switched off.

Was his phone also turned off? Milly set her phone down, unable to sleep now, her heart racing as if anticipating something significant.

George, Leon, and now Oliver are all going abroad.

On the surface, it seems ordinary, but the simultaneous timing of their travels struck a peculiar note.

Yet, logically, they should not even know each other.

Was she just overthinking things?
