Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 300 Stephanie Panics.

“I have always borne a deep sense of guilt and indebtedness towards you, and upon my recovery, my first-

action was to seek you out in hopes of your forgiveness. Stephanic’s words rang with sincerity and heartfelt

regret.

Had it not been for the self-satisfied smirk Milly had glimpsed earlier on Stephanie's face, she might have

believed this visit to be a genuine apology.

The skill in feigning remorse could have rivalled a performance worthy of numerous accolades, had a fraction of

it been dedicated to the stage.

Stephanie must have harboured confidence that Xavier would cto her defence or denounce himself, despite

her awareness of the evidence against her for the incident of pushing someone. That was why she dared to

brazenly spout nonsense in this very place.

Once, Milly might have simply ignored her and moved on, but today she resolved not to let the matter slide.

Xavier had recently boasted in her presence, admitting his past blindness and pledging future kindness. towards

her. Milly was keen to witness if, upon learning of Stephanie's deeds, he would continue to support her or stand

firmly beside Milly.

With little else to occupy her time, she opted to watch the unfold.

Milly’s lips curled slightly, a flicker of mockery dancing in her eyes as she spoke, “Oh? How thoughtful of you, Ms.

Burnett, to make visitingyour first priority upon discharge. I'm curious, though, where were you injured that

necessitated these days in hospital?”

Stephanie hesitated briefly. “I... | didn’t...”

Her injuries had been minor; they were mere scrapes. Her hospital stay had been prolonged only by her own

stubborn insistence; otherwise, she would have been discharged long ago. Truthfully, she had little. desire to visit

Milly at all.

During her days in the hospital, apart from Matthew's visits, none of the Burnetts had bothered to see her. When

pressed about their absence, caregivers would offer vague explanations of Jordan and the others. being

occupied.

| know they can be busy, but they can’t all be busy at once. Even if they are, they should be able to make time

for me.

Stephanie's unease grew. This fear gnawed at her during her hospital stay, a constant reminder of potential loss.

News of Milly’s miraculous recovery only intensified her restlessness.

The Burnetts held Stephanie in high regard. Were they to discover her machinations, the repercussions would be

dire

Hence, today’s visit was a reconnaissance mission. She had initially planned to silence Milly herself, but Xavier's

unexpected presence altered the dynamics considerably. His support, especially given their recent encounter in

the woods, bolstered Stephanie’s confidence immeasurably.

Chapter 300 Stephanie Panics

Milly couldn’t suppress a scoff upon hearing Stephanie's justification. “Injured internal organs? The audacity to

claim that. I distinctly recall your energetic antics in the pit earlier; it seemed less like internal injuries and more

akin to damage to your faculties.”

“You...” Stephanie ground her teeth, her eyes flashing with resentment at Milly.

Suddenly, as if recalling something. Stephanie swiftly masked her ire, adopting a plaintive tone. “Milly, why do

you say such things? I'm genuinely worried about you. Are you upset with me? If you dislike me, I'll keep my

distance in the futur. She cried a little.

This was something Milly found oh-so-familiar. If the timing had been opportune, Milly might have relished the

spectacle with spopcorn in hand. Stephanie’s rapid switch to tears was truly remarkable; Milly could

certainly glean acting tips from her.

“Cry louder! You sound like you've been starved for a week“! Milly lounged on the sofa, legs crossed, and jibed,

“Cry with the sintensity you used as you hurled stones at my hand!”

Stephanie clearly hadn't anticipated Milly airing this incident so boldly. Her complexion paled as she protested,

“Milly, you can’t say that! That's slander!”

Milly smirked. “Oh, have you stopped crying already? Your emotions seem rather volatile.”

“Why you...” You b*tch!

Her fury mounting. Stephanie clenched her fists and glared fiercely at Milly, who sat smugly on the sofa, causing

Stephanie to tremble with anger.

Just you wait. You won't be laughing eventually.

At that moment, Xavier, who had remained silent, interjected, “What do you mean? Did Burnett hit your hand,

Milly?”

Stephanie turned three shades whiter. It was the first tXavier called her by her last name.

In the past, regardless of her errors, Xavier had always stood by her gently, assuring her that everything

would be fine. But this time...

Stephanie sensed Xavier's deep turmoil; his words weighed heavily, stealing her breath with their mere

utterance.

Xavier, disregard Milly's accusations. | never did anything she claimed! | aimed at a serpent, | swear!” she

pleaded.
