Chapter 330 Suspected By Jeffrey Milly hugged Apollo's little face and planted a firm kiss on it, the smoothness of his skin surprisingly delightful.

Instantly, the previously agitated Apollo relaxed. His fierce gaze melted into a gentle expression. He giggled joyfully. "Ah-woo!" Milly gently tousled his hair and asked, "Better now?" Apollo cocked his head, blinked playfully, and pointed to his own cheek with two tiny fingers. "Ah-woo!" What he meant was clear: I want two kisses, one more than the other guy.

Milly laughed. She thought Apollo was just being possessive, but she had not expected him to be so competitive. So, she leaned in and gave him two more kisses on the other cheek, asking, "Happy now?" Apollo's face lit up with a beaming smile. His cheeks glowed with happiness, and his eyes shone with delight. Hehe, Milly gavean extra kiss. Milly really lovesthe most.

Relieved that she had soothed the little one, Milly sighed. But then...

Why did she suddenly feel a shiver down her spine? In a hidden corner, Apollo's eyes flashed crimson in an instant, his gaze fiercely glaring at George as he bared his teeth with a threatening snarl. Meanwhile, George did not hold back his animosity either. Their formidable and chilling presence collided, filling the air with a palpable tension that made the atmosphere significantly more oppressive.

If Milly were to turn around at that moment, she would undoubtedly be stunned by the sight of the two locked in a silent battle.

On the ride home, Anthony and Jonathan resumed arguing over the single seat beside Milly.

As they bickered, Jeffrey appeared out of nowhere, casually slid into the car, and claimed the seat.

Anthony and Jonathan stopped their quarrel abruptly, protesting, "Hey, Jeffrey! That's cheating! It's unfair! We were playing rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets to sit next to Milly." Jeffrey reclined in the seat, his gaze nonchalantly drifting out the window, "I'm already here, so it's mine. Why bother with such a pointless game?" Ignoring his two disgruntled brothers, Jeffrey instructed the driver, "Let's go." The driver looked at Jordan, who was sitting quietly in the back. Seeing no objection from him, he nodded. "Yes, Mr. Jeffrey." In the spacious Rolls-Royce backseat, Jordan and Jeffrey sat side by side, across from Milly and a tightly clinging Apollo.

The air grew noticeably tense.

"Milly, it appears you have squestions for me?" His smile carried a touch of enigma.

Buell B Unfazed by being caught staring, Milly met his look squarely and asked pointedly, "Jeffrey, what brought you to the hospital today?" "You're my sister. Isn't it normal forto cto pick you up after your discharge? Just as with Jordan and the others." With a hint of suspicion, Milly pressed, "Then why did you choose to ride in the scar as me?" Jeffrey crossed his arms and answered with a casual smile, "No particular reason. Any car could have taken us back; it didn't really matter which one I chose. I just didn't want Jonathan to linger too long since it's getting dark soon." His response seemed reasonable and logically sound.

Yet, Milly sensed that something did not quite add up.

Among her brothers, Jordan was dependable, Matthew impulsive, Xavier sharp despite his profound affection for Stephanie, Jonathan innocent, Anthony carefree, but Jeffrey ...

He was the most mysterious.

In the , Jeffrey is seldom seen and seldom detailed, yet each of his appearances marks the most intense and suffocating moments.

Milly also observed that Stephanie, despite her rebirth, seemed reluctant to engage with Jeffrey. Though outwardly warm, their interactions betrayed Stephanie's underlying urge to distance herself.

Psychologically, this was a clear indication of avoidance.

If even Stephanie, adored by all, reacted this way, then Jeffrey's presence was indeed daunting. Jeffrey's gaze returned to Milly, his smile enigmatic. "Milly, do you have any other questions?" Milly shook her head.

There seemed no point in probing further; his answers would likely yield little.

Suddenly, Jeffrey leaned forward, his eyes deep with intent. “I have a question for you, Milly." She instinctively pulled away, increasing the distance between them. "What is it?" "I'm curious: why did you choose to study life sciences and scientific theory at Crestfallen University?"

Milly answered with composure, "It's the top program in Halturia, and it offers a direct path to the premier scientific institution after graduation. Plus, I'm the top student in the country. It makes sense to aim for the most prestigious major, doesn't it?" Chapter 330 Suspected By Jeffrey 45 Pearls

"In an ordinary family, such a decision might be driven by the quest for future security. But in the Burnett family, with our established status, this choice seems unusual. At our level, career decisions don't significantly impact our life paths. Essentially, we aren't constrained by the need to survive." Milly paused, struck by the realisation.

Since becoming a celebrated actress, no one had dared to delve so deeply into her personal motives without her permission.
