Chapter 332 What Tricks Are You Playing?

Milly glanced around the room; a smirk tugging at her lips. Stephanie was quite something. She had managed to hide every trace of Milly’s life in this house.

Even the family photo hanging on the wall had been replaced with one featuring only Stephanie.

Hehe, you are afraid that I’ll steal your spotlight, huh?

She walked to the sofa with a cold smile and sat down, as naturally as if she were returning home after a long day. The maid, as if on cue, brought her a glass of soda water.

Everything seemed so routine as if it happened so many times.

However, to the onlookers who desperately wanted to curry favour with Stephanie, this scene was anything but natural. They began to whisper amongst themselves, their words dripping with sarcasm.

“Who does she think she is? Waltzing in here like she owns the place without the most basic courtesy as a guest.”

“Right? No gift, no greeting, just plops down on the sofa like she’s royalty. Doesn’t she worry about bad luck?”

“That sofa is a limited edition from Yasgar. It’s purely handmade. They say it had been sold at a very expensive price. And it’s here, in the Burnetts’s house. Wow, Stephanie, your family must be so rich!”

Stephanie didn’t respond.

As Stephanie saw Milly walk in and sit comfortably, she nearly clenched her fist in anger.

She knew Milly was getting out of the hospital today, which was precisely why she chose to host her coming–of–age party now. She wanted Milly to witness her triumph and see Milly being humiliated in front of everyone.

She wanted to crush Milly underfoot and make her grovel like the people around her, who were showering her with compliments and admiration.

So what if Milly is the true heiress of the Burnetts? She’s still under

my control!

But, what was going on now? Milly was supposed to be avoiding the limelight, planning to enter the entertainment industry without revealing her true identity. Why was she acting so calm? Was she not afraid of being exposed?

If Milly decided to reveal her identity now, everything I had orchestrated would be for nothing. Worse, I would become a laughingstock!

No way! I can’t let Milly reveal her identity, not today!

This was my coming–of–age party, and all attention should be on me, not on some insignificant guest!

Thinking of this, Stephanie took a deep breath and forced a smile before saying in a sweet tone, “Everyone, don’t be so harsh on Milly. She’s very nice. We’ve been friends since high school. I’m really happy she could make it to my party.”

Then, she gracefully walked over to where Milly was sitting and spoke with a smile, “Milly, I’m so glad you

Chapter 332 What Tricks Are You Playing?

Milly rolled her eyes.

Stephanie would rather call her “Milly” affectionately than risk using her full name and accidentally disclosing her true identity and losing her status as the eldest daughter.

Suppressing her nausea that almost made her vomit, Milly replied coldly, “You should know best about my injury.”

You…”

Though Milly hadn’t said much, her words struck a nerve with Stephanie. Feeling guilty, she stammered, “I … I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Milly looked at Stephanie’s slightly panicked expression and let out a mocking laugh. “I was just mentioning that as classmates, it’s normal for you to know about my injury. What exactly were you thinking, Stephanie? Why do you look so flustered?”

Stephanie’s anger surged at the sight of Milly’s smug face. She wanted nothing more than to rip that facade apart.

The crowd behind Stephanie couldn’t see her darkened expression but were quick to notice Milly’s condescending demeanour.

Given that this was Stephanie’s event, everyone’s attention was naturally focused on her. Seeing Milly mock Stephanie ignited their sense of justice, and they began to swarm around, criticising her:

“This is Stephanie’s home. Do you think it’s appropriate to act so aggressively here?”

“I’ve never seen anybody be so shameless as to take someone else’s goodwill and turn it against them!”

“Do you have any idea of how much that sofa costs? You couldn’t repay it even if you sold yourself! And you dare sit down without greeting the host, how rude!”

“Exactly, Stephanie is just too kind to bother with you, but you’d better watch yourself. The Burnetts’s bodyguards aren’t just for show!”

Milly didn’t say a word.

The crowd’s incessant chatter nearly drove Milly overwhelmed.

Folding her arms, she looked around at the circle of people before her and sneered, “They say you should look at the owner before hitting a dog, but I’ve never heard you have to mind the dogs when dealing with

the owner.”

“You…!”

Milly’s words hit everyone like a slap in the face, sparing no one. After all, these people looked down on others, and she saw no reason to be polite to them.

“What’s wrong? Am I not telling the truth?”

At this moment, a girl dressed in a fiery red outfit stepped forward, holding a champagne glass. “We’re all good friends with Stephanie. As friends, we should understand boundaries and not cause trouble just because we think we’re close. Don’t you agree?”
