After numerous failed attempts, Milly gave up in frustration.
Oh well. I’ll figure it out later, she thought to herself.
“I want to go home now,” Milly announced, her voice tinged with disappointment.

George made no move to stop her. He rose from his seat and offered, “I’ll have the driver take you home
Milly declined, saying, “It’s okay. I can take a taxi.
When she put on her backpack and was ready to leave, suddenly, the wind was blowing ferociously, thunder was roaring, and rain was pouring down.
It happened in a matter of seconds.
Milly gazed at the dark sky and pouring rain. She was completely taken aback. How could the weather change so fast? It was sunny just moments ago.
Observing the downpour outside, George suggested, “It’s raining heavily. Why don’t you stay overnight? I’ll inform your brother.”
Squinting sceptically at him, Milly replied. “That won’t be necessary. I won’t get wet in the car. Do you have an umbrella?”
“Yes, George replied, signaling to the servant nearby. “Get her an umbrella.”
Yes, Mr. Tate.”
Milly glanced at the storm outside. She pursed her lips, concluded that she just needed an umbrella, and

However, the security guard rushed in. He looked panicked as he reported, “Mr. Tate, I heard there’s a typhoon approaching, and the roads outside are blocked. We need to bring the car inside quickly.”
This news made Milly furrow her brows completely.
How could the weather change so suddenly? And there’s a typhoon approaching now?
Turning to the man beside her, her eyes filled with suspicion.
Under her scrutinising gaze, George remained composed. He raised an eyebrow and quipped, “You don’t think I control the weather, do you?”

about staying at the mansion for the night? I’ll take you to school once the typhoon has passed in the morning. It’s not safe to venture out now.”
Surveying the darkened sky, Milly was compelled to agree. With the roads blocked, leaving was no longer an option.
Thank you then.”
Upon hearing her acceptance, Danny was elated, almost jumping with joy. He quickly offered, “I’ll have the maid escort you upstairs right away.”
Milly nodded. She shouldered her school backpack and followed the maid upstairs.
As Milly disappeared from view, a cold voice pierced the air. Coupled with the howling wind outside the villa, it carried some sinister undertones.
“Danny!”
Danny swallowed nervously, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, and his legs trembling involuntarily.
Before he could react, George had already made his way toward where Milly had left.
She was, after all, the best actress in her previous life. She had encountered her fair share of valuable items. With just one look, she could tell that everything in this room, from the tiny diamonds to the large gemstones, was authentic.
She thought this display of luxury was quite extravagant, but as she turned a corner of the room and anticipated a simple wardrobe, she was taken aback by a vast walk–in closet spanning a hundred square meters. It was stocked with everything from lingerie and swimsuits to evening gowns.
