A Film Queen of Two Worlds novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233 Irritated Old Man 

Jonathan and Anthony froze when they saw their grandfather, suddenly quiet and submissive like scared 

little birds. 

Philip, seeing them finally calm down, snorted in irritation, tucked away his cane, and, with a slight shake, climbed into the car. 

Jonathan and Anthony exchanged glances. 

Unable to keep quiet, Jonathan cautiously said, “Grandpa, this isn’t your car” 

Philip responded by thumping them lightly on their heads, shouting in frustration, “What do you mean the wrong car? Stop spouting nonsense! Andrew has already left the mountain. If you two hadn’t been bickering, we could have been ahead of them!” 

“But…” 

“Enough! You’re both acting like clowns! Either get in a car or run home if you don’t want to ride! Spoiled 

brats!” 

Reluctantly, Jonathan and Anthony respected their grandfather’s command and got into the car parked 

behind. 

Meanwhile, Jordan watched the old man settle in and then turned to Milly, his expression calm, “Let’s head to the back and sit there, too.” 

He knew the old man was in control and saw no point in challenging him. 

Jordan was aware of the old man’s displeasure, especially about the issues involving Milly and Stephanie, and chose not to provoke him further. 

As they began to move away, Philip, looking annoyed, called out, “Where do you think you’re going?” 

Jordan, protecting Milly, replied without stopping, “We’re going to the car behind.” 

“Just get in and sit down!” Philip commanded sternly. 

The old man showed his irritation. 

Jordan is usually so sharp, so why does he seem so clueless now? Can’t he see that I’m giving them a chance to make 

amends? 

Must I get out of the car and ask them to get in politely? 

Jordan raised an eyebrow, ignoring the old man’s frustrated mutterings, and turned to Milly, “Milly, do you want to ride in the same car with him?” 

Milly did not take long to decide and simply preferred not to switch vehicles again. “I’m fine with it.” 

At her consent, Philip’s features relaxed slightly.

Inside the car.

Apollo was perfectly well–behaved, sitting quietly next to Milly, occasionally tugging at her sleeve. Now and then, he would excitedly point out sparrows or other interesting sights flying by the window to Milly. Each time, Milly would nod seriously and then softly speak a few words to him. 

Jordan was absorbed with a large tablet, only occasionally looking up to exchange a few words with Milly. 

The three of them created a peaceful atmosphere in the car, except for … 

Philip, sitting on the side, was itching to join the conversation but could not find any opening. 

Hmph, a group of impolite youngsters. They don’t know how to initiate a conversation with the elderly, truly lacking in affection and respect! 

“Cough, cough, cough!” 

Philip’s heavy coughing echoed through the car, his gaze drifting across the three passengers vaguely. 

The loudness of his cough startled Apollo, who looked over with wide eyes, only to see the old man haughtily turning away to stare out the window as if expecting a reaction. 

Apollo, who could not speak, made a questioning sound. 

Meanwhile, Jordan was looking at a photo of an apartment on his tablet and handed it to Milly, “Check out this apartment. It’s close to your school, and it’s 500 square meters. It’s a property that the family invested in. I’ll talk to the manager later and set it up for you.” 

Milly was taken aback, “500 square meters? Isn’t that a bit large? Can we find something smaller?” 

Jordan looked at Milly, slightly puzzled, “500 square meters is smaller than our garden. Anything smaller, and you might feel cramped!” 

Milly hesitated, “Still, 500 square meters seems excessive. I’m just a student. I’m trying to live like a normal person. Wouldn’t living in such a luxurious apartment seem too lavish?” 

Jordan reassured her, “It’s not too much. Why would living in a nice apartment be considered a breach of discipline while you’re studying?” 

Milly thought it over but still felt inappropriate, “It’s not a breach of discipline per se, but what if classmates come over? How would I explain it?” 

Given that she would be balancing school with her acting career and has kept her identity as a Burnett hidden within the entertainment industry, she prefers not to reveal her true identity to her classmates to prevent gossip. 

If classmates visited, they would definitely question her ‘ordinary‘ family background when they saw such an opulent place. 

Jordan paused, realizing he had not considered this angle fully. 

“What if I get you a smaller apartment?”

Jordan hesitated, “I’ll look into it, but you’d have to stay in the 500 square meter one for now. If you have a visit coming up just let me know, and I’ll arrange for you to move to the smaller one temporarily.”
