us Temple?
Supported by Xavier and Jeffrey, Stephanic conversation.
Did the trending topic get buried?
I past Milly and happened to overhear their
Her eyes narrowed angrily. Are those people at Daily Entertainment incompetent? They can’t even handle such a small thing properly. She had already handed them a ready–made news story, even spent money to boost its popularity, and they still managed to mess it up.
Stephanie gritted her teeth in hatred, half lowering her head, with a suppressed cold light in her eyes.
Well then, I’ll have to play my trump card!
This was her last chance. She’d give Daily Entertainment one final opportunity! If they messed up again this time, she’d make sure this newspaper disappeared from the face of the earth once and for all!
Sensing her emotions. Xavier, who was supporting her, asked with concern, “Stephanie, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
On the other side, Jeffrey, upon hearing this, quickly went to check her pulse.
But as soon as his fingers touched Stephanie’s pulse, she suddenly shook them off in agitation, her face showing panic.
Jeffrey furrowed his brows, seeming a bit puzzled. “Stephanie, what’s wrong?”
Stephanie hadn’t expected her reaction to be so strong, and for a moment, she was stunned in place. Quickly, she explained, “I’m sorry, Jeffrey, I didn’t mean to.”
The influence of the crazy “Jeffrey” in her previous life had left a deep impact on her. Even though she knew he wasn’t the same Jeffrey from her past life, she couldn’t help but feel scared.
She had been trying so hard to control the fear from her past life. She had been trying so hard to appear calm and composed around him.
Why do I still struggle to control myself?
No, even though Jeffrey hasn’t reincarnated, he’s incredibly smart. If I appear panicked in front of him, he’ll definitely
catch on.
Stephanie took a deep breath, trying to keep her expression as calm and normal as possible. She bit har tongue, the pain helping to clear her mind a bit. “Jeffrey, it’s probably because of the fall down the stairs earlier, so I’m a bit… scared.”
She hesitated, her face pale, looking pitiful and helpless.
Seeing her like that, Xavier, already quite upset with Milly, couldn’t hold back his anger. ‘Stephanie, no need to apologise. This wasn’t your fault at all. It’s all because of Milly. She’s so cold–hearted, pushing you and then playing the victim. Don’t worry, even if Jordan was fooled by her, we won’t be. Right, Jeffrey?”
Jeffrey stayed quiet, just giving a small nod.

Jonathan’s chatter, rubbing her temples, but her
sowed no sign of impatience.
Jeffrey’s cold eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of icy light flashing through them.
Upon hearing Jeffrey’s response, Stephanie couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although it was just a simple nod. it at least indicated that he still cared for his younger sister. As long as she remained cautious and seized this opportunity of reincarnation, she was confident she could turn the tide.
Unable to contain herself, she relaxed her tense body a bit and looked reproachfully at Xavier, saying, “Don’t speak ill of Milly. I believe she didn’t mean any harm. It wasn’t on purpose.”
Xavier sighed. “Stephanie, you’re just too kind. That’s why she always takes advantage of you.”
Stephanie smiled. “Well, you can keep looking out for me.”
“Absolutely, I’ll always have your back.”
You re the best, Xavier.”
“Of course
Throughout the exchange. Jeffrey didn’t utter a single word.
The car drove smoothly all the way to the foot of the mountain where the temple was located.
As soon as Milly got out of the car, she smelled a faint and gentle sandalwood fragrance that wasn’t overpowering or irritating. On the contrary, it had a subtle calming effect on the mind.
The temple was located halfway up the hillside, with yellow walls and red tiles, enveloped in mist that lent it an ethereal charm. In the distance, faint echoes of bells and the rhythmic tapping of wooden fish could be heard.
Philip leaned on his cane, supported by Arthur. “Okay, let’s head up.”
With those words, everyone followed him in a steady stream toward the temple.
Finally reaching the summit, Milly gazed at the imposing characters of Lotus Temple” before her, quirking her lips slightly. For a moment, she was at a loss for words.
Is there really a Lotus Temple in this story?
Does it also mention a famous monk?
She supposed so, but she still trusted in science. These things were all likely just tricks, and Philip was probably just getting old and seeking solace.
As a young person of the new generation, she still firmly believed in materialism.
The temple door squeaked open, pushed by a teenage monk dressed in a turquoise robe. He greeted them with folded hands, “Amitabha, are you here to seek blessings from the Buddha?”
Philip immediately returned the greeting. “Amitabha, we are here to see Master Karuna for a ritual.”

The young monk had a sudden realisation “Oh, you’re guests of Master Karuna. Please come with me.”
“Okay”
Milly followed the group and couldn’t help but smile. Despite his young age, this monk seemed surprisingly mature–it was quite amusing.
Inside the temple grounds, green trees surrounded them, and authentic ancient–style buildings greeted their eyes. Even the corridors were wooden walkways from ancient times, creaking under the weight of many footsteps.
Monks were bustling back and forth, occasionally interspersed with a few pilgrims, creating a serene atmosphere of tranquil years passing by.
