Chapter 207 Reward or Punishme…? 

Milly couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was staring at her intensely as soon as she sat down. 

When she looked up 

It was her third brother, Jeffrey!

He was sitting beside her, leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed, staring at her without any expression on his face. His eyes were dark and unreadable, not friendly at all. 

Wait, actually, his gaze wasn’t directed at her but at Apollo! 

Milly frowned. It suddenly hit her that Jeffrey was a medical prodigy, naturally sharp when it came to medicine. Seeing him look at Apollo like that, had he figured something out? 

If he discovered Apollo was an experimental subject…. 

With that thought, Milly quietly turned to block Jeffrey’s view. 

Jeffrey raised an eyebrow in slight annoyance, feeling his train of thought interrupted. He looked up and met a pair of smiling eyes. “Jeffrey, nice to meet you. I’m Milly.” 

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t their first meeting, but it was the first time they actually talked. 

After a steady glance from Jeffrey, he looked away without saying a word. 

But Milly quietly breathed a sigh of relief. 

Thank goodness he finally stopped staring. It had made her uneasy. 

For once, she was glad her brothers weren’t fond of her. 

Meanwhile, Philip waved his hand, and servants began to bring breakfast one after another. 

Apollo had always relied on nutritional potions and liquid diets to survive. He had never really eaten at a table before. Despite Milly teaching him a lot after he returned, he still wasn’t used to utensils, preferring to eat with his hands. 

To deal with this situation, Milly usually gave Apollo something like doughnuts or bagels for convenience. For other dishes, she fed him herself. 

But with so many people around now, she couldn’t let Apollo attract too much attention or dare to feed him openly. To play it safe, she just handed him some bagels. 

Apollo didn’t mind at all. He obediently ate whatever Milly gave him. 

Meanwhile, Philip, seeing Apollo constantly eating bagels, assumed he liked them. He reached out and placed the whole plate of bagels in front of him. Matthew, the second eldest, had just been about to grab one when his hand missed the mark 

“Grandpa, I haven’t had any yet!” 

Philip raised an eyebrow and scoffed, “Do you really have to eat bagels? What are you? A kid?”

Matthew remained silent, puzzled. 

Wasn’t this kid adopted into the Burnetts? How come Grandpa cares more about him than his own grandson?

Philip didn’t seem to notice Matthew’s frustration. His face lit up with anticipation as he watched the young man in front of him happily munching on bagels. It was clear he had already forgotten the earlier scene where Apollo had ignored him, quietly enjoying the moment. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

He’s our future hope! He’s our trump card! He’s our ultimate weapon! 

Later during the ceremony, he must perform a few moves in front of my comrades graves, and show them what the Burnetts is made of 

It would be even better to get a talisman from the abbot, so that this kid can join the army as soon as he turns eighteen, fight bravely for the country, and defeat those disrespectful little pirates! 

But Apollo just glanced at him and blatantly ignored Philip’s goodwill. 

After munching on his bagels, Apollo looked at Milly with bright eyes and exclaimed, “Ah–woo?” 

Philip sighed silently. 

Well, this was the second time he had been ignored in the past five minutes! 

Milly chuckled awkwardly and quickly stepped in again. Grandpa, Apollo didn’t mean it. He’s probably just thirsty…” 

With that, she handed Apollo a bowl of soy milk. 

Philip, who had commanded respect throughout his life, had never been treated differently like this–he was being ignored twice in such a short span! 

Especially with all the younger relatives at the table, his face grew even more grim. Was this a challenge to his authority? 

He slammed the table in anger, pulling his beard and glaring. “Hmph! Are you afraid I might poison you or something?!” 

Milly knew if this wasn’t resolved, Philip would be in a bad mood all day. 

She glanced down at Apollo, who held the bowl, and nodded towards the bagels on the table. “Apollo, Grandpa got those bagels just for you. Enjoy!” 

“Ah–woo!” 

Apollo then picked up another bagels and started munching on it. 

Actually, he didn’t understand a word Milly said, but when he saw his sister pointing, he obediently ate! 

Milly sneakily glanced at Philip and sure enough, his expression had softened considerably. 

Stephanie, quietly eating nearby, observed this scene. Though she didn’t speak, her lowered gaze betrayed 

her inner turmoil. 

She remembered in the previous life apart from herself the Burnetts hadn’t adopted anyone else. How

did this Apollo suddenly appear? It was completel 

rent from what happened in her previous life. 

And besides, didn’t Jordan say he was going to investigate this Apollo? Now there’s been no word on that, and instead, this guy’s settled into the Burnetts smoothly. 

It seems like everything is slowly changing…. 

On the way to the temple. 

Jonathan insisted on sitting with Milly. He eagerly held his phone. “Milly, I didn’t sleep all night thinking about how to protect your Twitter. I’ve been racking my brains all night. Can you really leave me hanging like this? 

Milly sighed. 

The moment he brought it up, she remembered that awkward post she wanted to bury herself over. 

Milly rubbed her forehead and said earnestly. “Maybe you shouldn’t be so… exaggerated in the future. Your fans might not handle it well.” 

Not handle it well? More like they might throw up! 

But Jonathan didn’t see it that way. With full confidence, he opened his Twitter to show her. “Why wouldn’t they handle it well? Look, with my guidance, no one’s criticising you anymore, and even the trending topics have calmed down. You’ve gained 200 thousand fans!” 

Two hundred thousand fans? 

In just one morning? 

That’s some rapid growth! 

Glancing at her phone, Milly saw exactly what Jonathan had mentioned–the trending topics had indeed been pushed down. She let out a sigh of relief. 

“It looks like Bonnie deals with things pretty quickly after all.” 

Jonathan exploded instantly, his hair standing on end. “Bonnie? It’s me! It’s me, your dear brother, who pushed those down for you! You ungrateful person, you’re forgetting about me!” 

Milly was momentarily stunned by his outburst, her ears ringing from the noise. Suppressing the urge to cover her ears, she quickly tried to calm down the agitated figure in front of her. “Okay, okay, my bad. It was my mistake to doubt you. Jonathan is the best, Jonathan is mighty!” 

“Hmph, that’s more like it!” Jonathan grinned widely upon hearing his sister’s praise, but he maintained a tough facade. “While the dead can be forgiven, the living cannot escape punishment. So, as a reward, you get to ride in the car with me!” 

Hah? 

Is this supposed to be a reward? Or a punishment?
