Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 235



Chapter 235 Ambushed by Reporters Milly looked at Jordan beside her, leaning in close to whisper, "Jordan, 10% of the shares is way too exaggerated. I can't accept that!" Jordan's expression remained composed as he gazed at her, a trace of indulgence flashing in his eyes. "Why not?" Ten per cent is nothing compared to what I intended to give her. Why can't she accept it? "But..." Jordan could tell what she was thinking from her conflicted expression. "No buts. I told you before, I'm letting you pursue your goal. You shouldn't feel any burden. Once I handle everything, I'll ensure you attain the highest place." Milly let out a sigh. She knew Jordan adored her. No, saying "adore" was an understatement. He completely pampered her! However, even the most doting parents should have limits. Jordan's over-the-top generosity in giving her the family's assets was a bit exaggerated and somewhat blind.

She couldn't help but wonder if the Burnetts' bankruptcy in their previous life was because Jordan gave all the shares to the original owner, who then mismanaged the company into ruin. In the end, the original owner had to work to support her six brothers.

This made sense! Frightened by her thoughts, she quickly added, "Jordan, I don't need this. I know you love me, but I have no interest in business. If you insist on givingsomething, why not invest in a few films forwhen I becfamous?" Jordan laughed and rubbed her hair gently. "Investing when needed is one thing, but these shares are yours to have." Milly pouted, feeling troubled. "But I... don't want them!" Bang! A heavy thud slammed on the car door beside them. The startling driver nearly mistook the gas pedal for the brake.

Philip had awakened at spoint, looking at them with fury. His chest heaved with rage.

"What? Was it a bomb or poison that I sent out? Not only are you ungrateful, but you're also playing hot potato with it. If you don't want it, hand the contract to me, and I'll tear it up!" In other families, people fight tooth and nail for a bit of share, even going as far as murder. Yet here, these two are pushing them away.

He gave them shares, but others who were unaware of this might think they had been sentenced to death. Realizing how upset Philip was, Milly sighed again and stopped arguing. After all, Jordan had said she didn't need to be involved in the company yet. She could figure out how to give it back to him later.

Jordan also stopped talking. His gaze turned distant as he looked out the window; his emotions 1-1-1- Chapter 235 Ambushed by Reporters In the Burnetts, neither Jordan nor his younger brothers cared much about the shares. In their previous life, he hadn't minded who held more or less because they were family. There was no need to be so precise.

Everything changed when Stephanie, leveraging Philip's affection, coaxed him into transferring all his shares to her. Overnight, she becthe largest shareholder of the Burnett Group.

This led to a crucial board meeting that decided the fate of the Burnetts. Despite being the highest CEO, Jordan had no right to prevent the signing of the final contract.

At that time, based on his experience, he had already seen the flaws in the project. Every venture has its risks; nothing is a guaranteed profit, especially one that nearly drained the Burnetts's resources.

However, Stephanie was in charge of the project. In addition, they trusted her too much to look deeper. This trust led to a cascade of disastrous events, and by the the tried to recover it, it was too late.

Even now, he could vividly recall the scene whenever he closed his eyes.

The Burnetts went bankrupt overnight. Stephanie, the project leader ran abroad, leaving behind a mess that Jordan had to handle alone, exhausted by the endless crises.

Later, when another "Stephanie" emerged, sending money sporadically and resolving urgent issues, he was too overwhelmed to question it. He trusted her too much to suspect anything.

Now, it was ridiculous to imagine it.

How could someone who took the money and ran suddenly grow a conscience and start helping them out? Thinking of this, Jordan slowly turned his head to gaze at Milly. She seemed unaware of his scrutiny, fully engaged in talking to Apollo with great patience, even knowing he couldn't understand her.

How was she feeling when she worked tirelessly to support the family in her past life? What I'm giving her now was nothing compared to what she had sacrificed for them. The entire Burnetts belonged to her; she was merely receiving it later than she should have.

Screech! Jordan's thoughts were interrupted when the driver slammed the brakes.

Immediately afterwards, there was a series of knocks on the car door and windows.

"What's going on?" The driver frowned as he looked outside. "Mr. Jordan, our car was stopped. We're surrounded by reporters outside." Reporters?

Milly looked outside. She indeed saw a horde of journalists. Strangely, they their car, letting the had only stopped one Carrying Anthony and the others pass unimpeded. The reporters banged on the windows, their mouths moving, but the car's soundproofing made it Chapter 235 Ambushed by Reporters impossible to hear what they were saying.

Witnessing this commotion, Apollo, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly grew agitated. His eyes began to turn red, his face twisted with rage, and low growls escaped his throat as if he was ready to leap out and tear the crowd apart. Milly promptly focused on calming him, gently soothing his rising agitation.

Philip frowned deeply at the reporters battering the car. "Get out and see what's happening." The driver nodded quickly. "Yes, Sir."

The reporters swarmed on the driver like starving wolves as soon as he opened the car door. They shoved ve microphones and cameras into his face. He was trapped in the middle, barely managing to squeeze back into the car after a long struggle. Panting and wiping sweat from his eyebrows, he reported, "Old Mr. Burnett, Mr. Jordan, the reporters are here to interview... Ms. Burnett." A sense of imminent trouble filled Milly.

Sure enough, she heard the driver continue, "They want to ask about her college entrance exam results..." Milly sighed.

This is never-ending! ab
