No way could he let Milly navigate such treacherous waters alone. As her brother, he felt it his duty to protect her from the industry's harsh realities.

"Look, this time, I didn't lean on you, and I still managed to impress the director on my own." Milly's playful approach weakened Jordan's reservations.
As she saw him relenting, Milly added, "Jordan, wouldn't it be great to hear people say, That's Jordan, the brother of the talented actress Milly'?" That was it.
Jordan's defenses completely crumbled.

"That's exactly why I said it!" retorted Anthony.
"Hmph." Ignoring the brothers' squabble, Jordan checked his watch. "It's tfor you to go. Travel safely." Milly nodded.
