A Film Queen of Two Worlds 

Chapter 250 Shooting Herself in the Foot! 

Back then, at least she had her brothers‘ money to rely on. But now, if she got kicked out, she would be penniless! 

Just the thought of going back to those poor, miserable days made her feel like she was drowning in icy water and paralysed. 

Milly, that b*tch! 

Stephanie bit her lower lip so hard that it left a deep mark, but she didn’t seem to feel it. She took a deep breath to suppress her rage, then forced a twisted smile, walked up to Milly, and slowly bent down… 

The disgrace she endured today would be avenged by making Milly suffer a hundred times in the future! 

“Milly. I’m sorry, I spoke too hastily just now and didn’t consider your feelings. It was my fault. I hope you can forgive me for the sake of our sisterly bond. And please, don’t blame Matthew and Xavier. They didn’t intend any harm.” 

“Stephanie!” Two voices called out simultaneously. 

Stephanie acted as if she hadn’t heard them, maintaining her humble posture. “Matthew, Xavier, Grandpa is getting old. Let’s not upset him.” 

Even now, she doesn’t forget to curry favour with her grandfather. 

Pift 

Milly, who had been building up her emotions and was ready to burst into tears again at any moment, almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud at this. 

Even though Matthew and Xavier were still furious, they swallowed their anger when they saw how considerate their sister was. They decided to listen to her for now, but their eyes were filled with hostility as they looked at Milly, and their tone was aggressive. 

“Fine, we’re sorry!” 

“Sorry!” 

They looked so reluctant that someone unfamiliar with the situation might think they were issuing a challenge rather than offering an apology. 

Feelin, quite pleased, Milly arched an eyebrow, showing no signs of letting them off the hook. 

When she glanced up again, her eyes were still red, and she looked sorrowful as if she had been terrified, just like the tactic Stephanie often used. 

“Oh! Are you angry? If you are, there’s no need to say sorry. Just don’t hold it against me, okay?” 

Although she said this, her sorrowful appearance made it seem like they were tormenting her. 

Stephanie was so furious at the twisted version of events that her chest heaved, and now she couldn’t even muster the tears she had planned. Milly had completely cornered her. 

The reason she had managed to hold her ground in the Burnetts for so long was by always playing the

She intended to exploit her usual helpless act to bring Milly down, but Milly caught on and 

outmanoeuvred her. 

But it’s alright. Revenge doesn’t have to be rushed. There will be plenty of chances later! 

Stephanie found some solace in this realization. Before Milly could stir up more trouble, she promptly grabbed Matthew and Xavier. “Matthew, Xavier, I appreciate you looking after me, but since we messed up. we have to own up to our mistakes. Otherwise, Milly will be upset.” 

When they heard this, Matthew and Xavier felt even more sympathy for her, 

Uninterested in their overly sentimental show, Milly stood quietly, waiting for them to apologise. 

That heartwarming sibling act might be great for TV, but in real life, it was unbearably cringe–worthy. 

After waiting a long time. Matthew and Xavier finally caved in under their sister’s sincere gaze. They took a deep breath and apologised humbly, “Sorry, Milly Burnett.” 

“Sorry… Milly Burnett.” 

They’d rather die than call her by her nickname, so using her full name was already a big step. 

Milly felt a lot better, but it still wasn’t enough 

She looked innocently at Stephanie, blinked, and clutched her chest as if in pain. “Stephanie, you haven’t apologised yet. I’m so heartbroken…. 

Stephanie was shocked. “I already apologised!” 

“Huh?” Milly rubbed her temples, pretending to recall. “Really? I don’t remember you apologizing. Are you sure you’re not mistaken? 

Afterward, to bolster her credibility, she innocently glanced at Jonathan, who was enjoying the show beside her. She winked. “Jonathan, did you catch Stephanie’s apology just now?” 

Jonathan immediately suppressed his laughter and put on a convincing act of disbelief. “Nope, I’ve been right here watching the show… Well, I watched it, and I didn’t see Stephanie apologise. Maybe Stephanie got it wrong? What do you think, Anthony?” 

When Anthony was called, his front teeth were still not retracted, and he abruptly choked on his words, nearly straining his waist. “Oh, I didn’t hear it either. It’s odd, isn’t it, Jordan? Did you catch that?” 

Before Jordan could respond, Xavier’s face flushed with anger. He shielded Stephanie behind him, breathing heavily. “You did it on purpose! You can’t tell right from wrong!” 

Anthony shrugged. “Why do you accuse us of doing it on purpose? We’re just telling the truth that we didn’t hear it, that’s all.” 

Then he turned to look at Jordan, who had an expressionless face, and earnestly complained, Jordan, I can’t stand it anymore. Xavier said you can’t tell right from wrong. That’s obviously an insult to you. I suggest you punish him so that he will remember this lesson!” 

“You!” 

Jordan’s dark eves narrowed, and a deadly gaze landed on Xavier, who was so frightened that his words

stuck in his throat. 

“If you didn’t hear it, continue apologising until Milly is satisfied.” 

Milly held back her laughter. If it wasn’t for the wrong timing, she would have wanted to give these brothers the Best Actor award. Their blatant lies were flawless. 

Stephanie was now caught in a dilemma, her face displaying a blend of emotions beyond unpleasantness. She lifted her head with an expression devoid of menace, meeting Milly’s gaze squarely. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

The two looked at each other. 

Milly showed no fear, smirking openly, relishing the situation. 

This was a classic case of shooting herself in the foot! 

Haha, isn’t she usually the one who loves to act innocent? Isn’t she the one who loves to twist things around? Isn’t she the one who loves to exaggerate trivial matters? 

Today, she’s getting a taste of her own medicine, using all the tricks she played on others before. Let her remember and feel deep down what this feels like! 

Even though I know she’s the protagonist and probably won’t suffer much, seeing her fail so miserably still feels satisfying. 

Stephanie clenched her teeth and shot a resentful glance at her, then approached slowly. “Milly, I apologize. I’ll be more careful with my words from now on. Matthew and Xavier didn’t intend any harm. Milly, please don’t dwell on it. Will you forgive us this time?”
