Chapter 65 Just Call My Name
The usual
disorderly man unexpectedly looked downcast, his eyes swiftly reddening.
Before dwelling in self–pity for an extended period, a sharp smack snapped him back to reality.

“D*mn it! I was curious why your behaviour was odd carlier. Apparently, you were lost in thoughts about my boss! I’ll teach you a lesson today!” William resembled an enraged lion, lifting his fist to deliver a blow.
Ken refrained from retaliating, opting instead to shield his head and dodge, expressing genuine distress. “Anthony, there’s been a misunderstanding. How could I ever entertain thoughts about your boss?”
William scoffed. “Milly is my boss. Are you implying that you never harboured fantasies about her? You ordinary people, how dare you presume yourselves worthy of the unmatched beauty of my boss?”
Ken furrowed his brow, looking up at him. “Isn’t Milly your sister?”
William’s raised hand froze mid–motion.
Oh, to Ken, he appeared to be Milly’s brother, Anthony.
“Um, my surname is Tate, my first name is William, and my alias is Anthony.”
Furthermore, whenever he skipped class and got caught, he would provide the name Anthony to the disciplinary committee. This name proved useful, and technically, he was also partly Anthony.
Since I was partially Anthony, what was the harm in sometimes being called that?
At this moment, Ken’s eyes widened in disbelief, a sense of dread overcoming him.
“Then who is the real Anthony?” he asked..
William pursed his lips and said, “Yeah, you just beat up
that guy.”
Ken’s pupils dilated immediately, utterly shocked, his face turning pale.
What had I done?
No to wonder my Angel was so enraged earlier! I had actually hit my brother–in–law?
Ken’s knees buckled. Forgetting his pride, he scrambled to the window, pleading. “My angel, forgive me. I had no idea he was your brother. I acted rashly. I promise I won’t fight again.”
Milly felt a headache forming from his babbling.
Now, the whole class was staring at her. Despite her usual composure, she didn’t want to be the centre of
attention.
Inhaling deeply, she halted his fragmented speech. “Okay, I get it. You can return now. Our class will begin.
Ken paused. “What about my birthday party you promised me before?”
“Since I made a promise, I’ll keep it. Hopefully, this visit will finally resolve matters with this troublesome

Ken’s face lit up with a wide grin, showcasing his teeth, as he returned to his youthful, innocent demeanour. That’s awesome! I knew you wouldn’t let me down, hehe.”
Milly raised an eyebrow at him. “If you don’t leave right away, I might reconsider.”

“Alright, alright, I’m heading out now!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he had already dashed five hundred metres
away.
He truly deserved to be an athlete.
Milly finally exhaled a sigh of relief. The elders were right. Handling young people was indeed draining.
But before she could ease into relaxation, her tranquillity was abruptly shattered by the looming presence of two figures.
Anthony furrowed his brow and positioned himself before her desk. “What did you promise him?”
Though her excitement for the party was lacking, she had made a promise. Reneging now would only add to the awkwardness. Besides, she reasoned, she could simply deliver the gift and make a swift exit.
Milly couldn’t help but find amusement in the way the two of them were behaving. It was as if they were treating her like a delicate porcelain doll, fearing she might shatter the moment they averted their gaze.
Anthony’s hand slammed down on the table with a resounding thud. “I’ve made my decision, and it’s final. As your brother, you have to listen to me!”
After pondering for a while, she opted not to inform Anthony and hailed a taxi to the specified location.
