Jordan didn't rush to respond. Instead, he keenly sensed something amiss and asked, “Since this is business, there must be a transaction. What exactly does the Scathings want from the Burnetts?" Lucius' dark eyes resembled a tranquil, unfathomable pool, devoid of any ripples yet seemingly possessing an enchanting allure.
He suddenly turned his head, his gaze locking onto Milly with an unabashed intensity. "I want her," he declared bluntly.
He spoke in a definitive and declarative tone.
Milly arched an eyebrow, taken aback. How did-I suddenly becthe centre of attention in this situation? She couldn't help but chuckle as she rolled her eyes. Lucius was undeniably fascinating. Despite his obvious hostility towards Jordan, she found it curious that Jordan hadn't confronted him. And here he was, playing mysterious games. What did he want with her? Drawing from the she had read, Milly recalled that Lucius had limited interaction with her previously, mainly focusing on the female protagonist, Stephanie.
At that moment, Milly suddenly recalled something, her beautiful eyes widening in shock, disbelief written all over her face as she stared at everything before her.
Wait a moment...
Lucius and Jordan, rivals...
No wonder she felt the words strung together so familiarly, as if she had heard them somewhere before. In her previous life, she had indeed witnessed this scene.
During her previous life, while filming, there happened to be a scene where two men were fighting for one woman. Her emotions weren't quite right at the time, prompting the director to give her a half-hour break before continuing.
During the break, an assistant proffered her a book titled 'My AwesBrothers, suggesting it resonated deeply with the very scene she now enacted upon the stage of reality.

She recalled vividly the character embroiled in the conflict alongside Lucius and Jordan in a school setting, though the main character was not Milly but Stephanie.
In that instant, she beheld only that particular scene, ignorant of the preceding circumstances or the aftermath that ensued. Her recollection centred on Lucius' proposal of a business deal to Jordan, bartering Stephanie in exchange for all that the Burnetts coveted.

Such people don't exist in the real world. Rich people only think about money. They wouldn't make such foolish mistakes over trivial matters.” After finishing her rant, she tossed the book she was holding to the assistant and didn't bother to follow the rest of the plot.
Now she realises she was wrong. If only she had finished reading that melotic book back then. Who would have known she'd end up being a character in it? It's truly unpredictable.
Everything has shifted! Why does it feel like the protagonist has becjust like me?
Leaving aside everything else, for now, this plot is unfolding around her. If I reject him outright like before, wouldn't that follow the storyline of my previous life, where Lucius tiedup? Hmm...
