A Film Queen

Chapter 184 Register under the Burnetts Apollo was entirely dependent on her, and she had to care for him every step of the way.

Finished wasn't safe for him to attend classes during the day, as he might becagitated around new faces.

This was a significant issue.

herm Despite this, she had made up her mind to care for him and couldn't just give up halfway. It wouldn't be fair to Apollo.

Milly thought for a moment before saying, "If not, I'll request a leave of absence from school and wait two years until he's stable, then return." The room fell silent at her words.

It seemed no one expected her to go to such lengths for a child she had found.

George, who knew she treated Apollo differently, looked concerned. He clenched his fist on his lap, his brow furrowed in worry.

Why would she be so devoted to a potentially dangerous experiment subject? To the point of sacrificing her future? It seems to be so much more than sympathy.

Anthony was the first to react. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "No way. I won't let it happen!" He went through great lengths to get into the sschool and major as Milly; he hadn't had the chance to enjoy twith her yet, and now someone else was stealing her away? He refused to let it happen! Philip was startled and nearly dropped his rosary.

Philip's face darkened, and he hit Anthony's leg with his cane. "What are you doing, you little brat? Sit down!" Anthony rubbed his leg, still looking unconvinced. "I don't care. Milly can't drop out of school. She worked hard to get into Crestfallen University. It's such a great achievement; how can she give up so easily? "About this child... If Milly wants to raise him, she can. Our many servants can take care of him too. Why does Milly have to drop out of school? "If that's not possible... we can let Jordan adopt him. Jordan will get married eventually; it's better to have a kid to practice on ahead of time." Milly remained silent.

Luckily, Jordan wasn't present, or Anthony might lose a leg.

"You brat! Shut your mouth and sit down!" Philip scolded Anthony, "What kind of nonsense are you talking? So you're throwing everything to Jordan? 1/3 678% Chapter 184 Register under the Burnetts Finished Anthony looked hesitant. “I'm not saying it's impossible forto adopt the kid... It's just that I'm not at the best age. He's too old to be my son, and too young to be my dad... and I certainly can't be his wife.

The room fell silent again.

Philip was about to lose his breath.

This brat is givinga heart attack! Now I wish Rob's Tibetan Mastiff had bitten his head off! Philip looked down at his rosary and muttered a calming prayer three times before managing to suppress his anger. If Anthony weren't his grandson, Philip figured he would've had a heart attack years ago.

After calming down. Philip stopped worrying about his id or grandson and instead focused on scrutinising Apollo's face with a piercing gaze.

The old man's gaze finally lingered on Milly's face, his tone laced with disdain.

"In my religion, it's crucial to prioritise good deeds and moral principles. Since this is a noble act, 1 wouldn't dare intervene, lest the consequences be severe. However, if he needs to be registered, it should be under the Burnetts to avoid gossip and speculation." What does that mean? Milly wrinkled her brow, unsure of what he was implying.

"Grandpa, do you mean Philip leaned back on the couch, his expression mocking. "You're an accomplished scholar, but you can't even understand such a basic concept?" Milly looked puzzled, feeling lost.

Although Philip wasn't typically harsh, he wasn't exactly known for his kindness either. His sudden display of kindness was unusual and made her doubtful.

Just then, Philip's expression darkened again, and he rapped his cane on the floor with loud thuds.

"Arthur, chere!" As soon as he spoke, a man in black shorts and athletic pants burst into the room, his buzz cut and determined eyes making him look imposing.

He was Philip's trusted right-hand man, who had left a high-paying job to work as Philip's bodyguard.

Anthony cowered in fear whenever Arthur appeared. Every the made a mistake, Arthur would drag him away and subject him to rigorous army training. So when he saw Arthur enter the room, he hid behind the couch like a scared mouse.

Arthur stopped in his tracks, bowing slightly. "Greetings, Commander!" Philip nodded slightly before raising his chin. “Fight that kid. I want to see how he fares." "Yes sirl 9/13 08:39 Tue, 2 Jul MF Chapter 184 Register under the Burnetts 78%1 Finished

Arthur followed Philip's gesture and looked in the direction he pointed. A boy around eleven or twelfth sat on the couch, looking nervously at Arthur's gaze. Arthur raised an eyebrow. "Sir, isn't this ...?” Isn't this bullying? He was so small and weak that Arthur could break him like a twig Additionally, Arthur was a seasoned operative with a background in special forces. His skills were renowned and respected by Philip.

Philip looked at his hesitant subordinate, his expression growing more serious. "What, now? Are you afraid. to fight him?"

Arthur replied quickly, "I'm not refusing because I'm afraid to fight to him. It's just that this child is so young... What if I accidentally hurt him?" Philip grew impatient. "Stop yapping and just do as I say!"

He had just witnessed this young boy's skills. On the surface, he looked scrawny and weak, as if he wasm unable to withstand a single blow. But in reality, his skills were quite formidable, especially when he fought against Rob's dog, which he somehow managed to subdue in an instant. It was worth noting that the dog was a police-trained guard dog, trained by Rod himself, and it cfrom a fierce bloodline.

He was eager to see what kind of foundation this young boy's skills were built on ...
