Chapter 55 Matthew’s Arrival
Milly rolled her eyes. “What is this? It doesn’t look appropriatel
But Anthony was very confident. “Why wouldn’t it look appropriate? In ancient times, even the house steward and young ladies had private tutors, and our family can afford it.”
Milly rebuked coldly, “Shut up!”
Credit to him for coming up with that.
The two of them playfully entered the villa, but as soon as they stepped inside, they sensed that the atmosphere seemed slightly off.
The servants, who should have been busy with their respective tasks, were all gathered outside, lowering their heads and not daring to move. The living room was in disarray, and even a cardboard box was placed at the entrance, filled with various items.
Milly immediately saw it. The box contained her belongings.
Before she could say anything, Anthony got angry first. “What’s going on?”
The servants remained motionless, not daring to speak. Not a single person uttered a word..
At that moment, a crisp, hoarse male voice came from the sofa, “You’ve finally returned.”
Following the source of the voice, they saw a man dressed in a black windbreaker. His charming eyes carried a hint of laziness. With a sturdy and robust physique that should have presented a handsome image, he now sported messy hair, looking peculiar no matter how they looked at him.
Beside him, Stephanie had red eyes, pitifully tugging at his sleeve as if she had just finished crying.
Milly clearly observed that his eyes lit up when the man laid eyes on her. However, as Stephanie burst into tears and tugged at his sleeve, his expression instantly turned indifferent again.
Seeing this scene, Milly raised an eyebrow, having a rough idea of its reason.
“Matthew, what the hell is wrong with you? Why mess with your sister’s things?” Anthony’s face turned red.
with anger.
Seeing him getting angry, Matthew remained completely composed. He lazily tilted his neck and said expressionlessly, “I haven’t seen you in a few days, and you’ve even forgotten to address me as your brother? Furthermore…
He looked at Milly, whom he was holding, a trace of mockery crossing his face. “I only have one sister, and that’s Stephanic.”
Milly felt uncomfortable under his gaze. It wasn’t just disdain she perceived in his eyes but also an indescribable sense of scrutiny. This attempt to explore her inner thoughts made her feel his hostility was
too intense.
She didn’t like it.
Anthony, angered by his words, retorted immediately, “Are you blind? Who looks like you? Can’t you see

Matthew smirked, “Being blind is still better than being mentally handicapped like some people.”
“Who are you calling mentally handicapped?” Anthony exclaimed, getting infuriated.
“Whoever responds is the one I’m calling mentally handicapped!”
“You!”
Seeing the two of them escalating the argument, Anthony was evidently about to start a fight. intervened. “Wait, Anthony, put me down first.”
If he had forgotten he was still holding someone and charged up, wouldn’t she damage?

She guessed right. In the heat of the moment, Anthony was infuriated and had indeed forgotten that he was still holding his sister. After Milly reminded him, he quickly placed her on a clean sofa and reassured her, “Don’t worry, I will take care of it for you.”
The first punch caught Matthew off guard, but after that, he was prepared and easily dodged the second one. He was considerably larger and stronger than Anthony, and he could have easily restrained him in normal circumstances. However, Anthony was like a lit firecracker, leaving him no room to act
Stephanie suddenly felt a sense of urgency. While she wanted to assert her presence in front of Matthew, she didn’t intend things to escalate like this. The fact that the two were now physically fighting was beyond her expectations.
Just as she was about to turn around to seek help from the servants, she suddenly noticed Milly quietly packing her things on the side. This sight angered her, and she began to criticize.

If it weren’t for her stepping in and trying to smooth things over, would they have fought in the first place?
