Chapter 189 Sign with Jonathan’s Agency
Finished
Jonathan looked down, his voice filled with desperation. “I just got too excited seeing Milly. I didn’t know someone was recording me.
“Besides, Milly and I both have the last name Bernett, and they still can’t figure out we’re siblings. It’s like they’re stupid or something. I’m innocent.”
Both Milly and Jordan were dumbfounded.
He’s quite good at making excuses, but nothing else.
Milly smiled wryly. “Jonathan, the last name Bernett is pretty common, and we haven’t publicly disclosed our relationship, so it’s normal that they don’t know we’re related.”
Unexpectedly, Jonathan insisted on his innocence, pouting and looking slightly haughty. “Even if it’s a common last name, what about our physical resemblance? We’re like two peas in a pod; they’re obviously too blind to see it, and yet they’re still accusing me!”
Milly was speechless.
Two peas in a pod?
The two of us may share a certain resemblance, but we’re not even remotely similar, let alone identical. In the entertainment industry, where there are countless handsome and beautiful people, having a few lookalikes is perfectly normal. Otherwise, they wouldn’t call people a version of others.
Jonathan naturally caught the eye of the two of them and subtly tensed up. I’ve been trying my best too. I’ve even had the agency issued a statement….
Milly took a glance at the online trends and saw that most of Jonathan’s fans had calmed down after the statement was released, so it didn’t cause much loss.
However, there were still many netizens, especially Oliver’s fans, who clung to this hot topic like their lives. depended on it. They launched scathing attacks and snarky comments.
Jonathan was fine–his fans weren’t going to back down when someone insulted their idol. They rallied together to retaliate with vicious comeback
But Milly was in a world of trouble. She had no fans, no Twitter account, and Oliver’s fans were scolding her online. Jonathan’s female fans were cursing her out, and some even dug up her exam results, which got her trending the last time.
Right after that, #UnderachieverMilly began trending once more,
Last time, Alan had decided to help take it down because he couldn’t stand it. This time, it seemed like things were worse and could not be contained, with fans having a much bigger reaction.
She had just shot her first show and started her entertainment career, yet she was already criticised online and trending. If she didn’t handle it well, she’d be blacklisted from the industry.
While being blacklisted might mean fame in a way, it would also ruin her image and make it hard for her to get decent roles, thus limiting her possibilities. This wasn’t what she wanted.

Chapter 189 Sign with Jonathan’s Agency:
Finished
But once I do that, I’ll be saddled with the label of ‘Ms. Burnett; that’s impossible for me to shake off afterwards, and I won’t be able to help the Burnetts after we go bankrupt!
Jordan noticed Milly’s furrowed brow and gently stroked her hair before saying, “Don’t worry. I have a plan.”
Milly asked. “Really? What is it?”
“Yes.” Jordan nodded. “You don’t have a contract with any company right now, so you can use this opportunity to sign with my agency instead. Then the agency will take care of you like one of our own.”
Milly was taken aback.
Meanwhile, Jonathan’s eyes lit up with excitement as he nodded enthusiastically. “That’s a great idea! My agency doesn’t have any signed artists right now, and if you join us, I can give you all the resources we receive as a team! You can stay at home and relax while I go out and find you opportunities!”
Jordan shot a glance at Jonathan’s overexcited expression before freezing him with an icy stare.
Scared into submission, Jonathan sat back down before Jordan turned to Milly again, his eyes softening
The entertainment industry was a treacherous sea, and he was planning to create an entertainment department just for Milly anyway. But before he could even put his plan into action, this situation arose.
“Besides,” Jordan continued, “you’re only temporarily working at Jonathan’s agency. Once you’re established, I’ll set up a studio for you and let you be your own boss.”
Every word Jordan spoke was filled with genuine affection for her.
Thanks, Jordan. I get it now,/she said.
