Chapter 84 Embracing a New Identity in the Entertainment Industry
Jordan was deeply aware of the ruthless dynamics within the entertainment industry. The intense. competition, the manipulative dealings of producers and directors–it all unnerved him.
No way
could he let Milly navigate such treacherous waters alone. As her brother, he felt it his duty to protect her from the industry’s harsh realities.
Milly exhaled softly, already anticipating his objections. “Jordan, don’t you trust me?”
Jordan’s face creased with worry. “It’s not that I don’t trust you. You’re still young, Milly. The world out there isn’t as gentle as you might think. I need to protect you from it.”
Milly felt a surge of warmth, comforted by her brother’s evident care.
Indeed, for a young lady accustomed to a sheltered upbringing, navigating the entertainment industry alone poses a considerable challenge. However, she was not nurtured in a protected environment; she fought her way up from the grit, well–acquainted with the darker sides of human nature.
“Jordan, I’m not a little girl anymore. I know how to judge right from wrong and see through people’s facades. I can’t rely on your protection forever, right?” Milly’s voice was soft yet firm.
Jordan scowled slightly. “Why can’t you? I want to protect you for as long as possible. Who dares to challenge that?”
Milly paused, pondering his profound sibling affection.
Inhaling deeply and biting her lip, she decided to play her ace. She grasped Jordan’s arm and gently shook it, her voice tinged with a playful whine, Jordan, do you love me?”
“Of course,” Jordan responded without hesitation.
His resolve was clear: he would go to any length for her.
“Jordan, you know I love you, and I know you love me too. I don’t want to burden you with my aspirations. Just like you protect me because you love me, I want to follow my dreams for the same reason–we’re family, and that’s why you can’t deny my dreams.
“And acting is my passion. If you interfere, people will say I only got roles because of our family’s influence. I’m sure that’s not what you want, right?
“Look, this time, I didn’t lean on you, and I still managed to impress the director on my own.”
Milly’s playful approach weakened Jordan’s reservations.
As she saw him relenting, Milly added, “Jordan, wouldn’t it be great to hear people say, That’s Jordan, the brother of the talented actress Milly‘?”
That was it.
Jordan’s defenses completely crumbled.
He simply could not resist his sister’s charm when she acted so sweetly.

Nobody can treat you poorly. If they try, stand your ground. I’ll take care of any issues. Even if it means spending money, ensure no one takes advantage of you. Don’t let anyone push you around, understand?”
Milly felt a deep sense of security and affirmation. “I understand, Jordan.”
Jordan allowed himself a smile, his usual sternness easing as he affectionately ruffled her hair.
Suddenly, footsteps approached from behind.
With a mischievous squint, Anthony added, “And if he does, I’ll just leak those embarrassing childhood photos of him online!”
