Chapter 275 A Little More Debt Isn’t a Big Deal

“Huh?” Milly didn’t quite get what ho

meant.

She had just suggested he go back and rest, so how did recharging connect to that?

“What do you mean by ‘recharge?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

George smiled softly, his expression bright and warm like the early autumn breeze outside, stirring something in her. “I mean hugging you. Can I?”

Milly was surprised.

It wasn’t the first time she’d heard such a direct request. In the entertainment industry, people from all walks of life would say things like that casually, as

In her mind, George always seemed aloof and in control. His status and authority meant he never had to act submissive. Yet, in that brief moment just no in him.

Thinking about it more carefully, it seemed like that was how he always spoke to her, but she hadn’t paid attention to it before.

George noticed her tense expression and couldn’t help but shake his head. Lack of sleep really makes people slow!

How could I blurt out my inner thoughts like that?

He was well aware of how resistant this little brat was to him. Yet here he was, blurting out his inner thoughts just like that. Not getting out of the car was

“Ahem, I didn’t mean it that way just now,” George explained, furrowing his brow. If you looked closely, you could see a hint of regret on his face.

“Never mind, just chalk it up to me talking nonsense from lack of sleep these past few days. I tend to speak without a filter, so don’t take it to heart.

“It’s been too busy these days, even missed the start of your school year. I found at small villa near your school. It’s in a great location, and I thought of it to-

not suit you, especially since you still have to film. Moving out seems more appropriate.”

After he finished talking, he handed over a bunch of villa keys with the large emblem of the Riverside Villa.

She had seen this place before when Jordan owed her around, but she had strongly objected back then. This area was prime real estate, with each squa ranking officials or wealthy elites.

At the time, she thought it was too extravagant and was worried about explaining to her classmates if they found out. So, she didn’t want the house in th

“I appreciate it, but Jordan already bought me an apartment in a good location. This villa is too luxurious for me to accept,” Milly declined.

George nodded knowingly when he heard that she wasn’t living in the dorms now, as if he had already guessed.

Still, he placed the villa keys in her hand. “It’s not a big deal, just a house. To me, it’s not worth much. If you don’t take it, I’ll have to spend time finding an

Milly remained silent.

The mindset of wealthy people really couldn’t be understood with ordinary thinking.

She sighed softly and gripped the villa keys worth tens of millions of dollars with both hands. She asked somewhat timidly, “When can we transfer the ow

George chuckled softly, looking genuinely pleased. Even the furrow on his brow relaxed, replaced with open affection. “Danny has already transferred the house to you, and all the furniture and arrangements inside are done. You can move in directly. If there’s anything else you need, just let

Milly was surprised by how quickly George had acted. Everything was already sorted

out, making her feel a bit overwhelmed by the sudden generosity.

She had no choice; seeing the Burnetts on the brink of bankruptcy, she had to

quickly save money to avoid ending up homeless.

The timing of this house couldn’t have been better, instantly solving her housing issue.

As for owing money to George …

With already substantial debts to him, a little more didn’t seem like a big deal, did

it?

George tapped his knee thoughtfully, as if he had just recalled something, and asked, “You get along well with the Scathing family’s heir?”

Milly was taken aback. “Who told you that?”

George didn’t intend to hide anything: “I heard from my grandpa. He said that Lucius has been in contact with you lately. The Scathings have a strong ba

Milly nodded vigorously. She was already aware of this; otherwise, she wouldn’t be so wary of him. “Yeah, I know. But I don’t think there’s a need to worr

Even though Lucius is currently quite attached to her, it wasn’t a big issue. Once Stephanie showed up, he’d definitely be drawn to her. She just needed

Seeing Milly’s confident demeanour, George furrowed his brow, unsure why she suddenly seemed so sure of herself.

He was about to ask when suddenly, a black phone beside him started flashing bright red and vibrating intensely, as if someone was urgently trying to re

George took the phone without changing his expression, and pressed a button to stop the intense vibration. “There’s some business at the company I ne

It was clear something important was happening. She could feel his aura change distinctly, filled with an indescribable coldness and danger. Despite this, he se

Milly wanted to say something but decided to stay quiet.

In her impression, the Tates’s business dominated nationwide, and crises were unthinkable. Yet, George did indeed look exhausted now. Could it be bec

Milly suddenly felt a twinge of pity for George.

However hard he tried, he couldn’t compete with a protagonist who had that aura. It was an irreversible law.

Milly took a deep breath, comforting him, “I’ll head off now. Take care, and if …”

She paused, unable to finish her sentence.

At that moment, George looked at her, seeming puzzled. “If what?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I was just wondering if you still wanted to recharge?”
