“Ah–woo?” Apollo seemed to understand her furrowed brow and stared intensely at George walking ahead of them.
Suddenly, his eyes turned from light pink to bloodshot as he whimpered and gritted his teeth, about to
pounce.
Feeling his murderous intent, Milly tightened her grip on his wrist. “What are you doing?”
Apollo glared fiercely at George’s back, showing his teeth. “Ah–wool”
It meant, /7/ kill George so you won’t be upset anymore!
Milly sighed and began to educate him seriously. “You can’t hurt him. He’s a big shot. You must respect
him.
She hadn’t forgotten that she still owed George 135 million!
She was extremely indebted to him!
“Ah–woo…”
“Good boy,” Milly said.
Meanwhile, George listened to their conversation, feeling speechless as a wave of frustration washed over him.
He had been working hard to pretend he wasn’t interested in her, and it seemed to be working so far. At least, Milly wasn’t pushing back against him and was even willing to let him get closer. But…
If this continued, she would start to only see him as a friend and would never develop feelings for him in the future.
Some day, she might bring a guy home and say that she loved him, just like she did with Apollo
Upon that thought, George’s eyes darkened orice more as his expression grew grimmer. He exuded a murderous aura.
No, I can’t let that happen!
Just thinking about it is suffocating.
I need to change my approach. Gradual progress is good, but sometimes I have to take bold action to speed things up.
In the car.
Watching the scenery outside recede as they drove away from the Tate’s Mansion, Milly grew anxious,
Although Apollo looks normal, his true identity remains unclear Will the Burnetts accept him?
I’m not worried about Jordan, but Grandpa might be a different story.
Apollo, remember what I told you? When we get home, be calm and respectful, and don’t get upser car okavi: Milly reminded him anxiously-

“Ah–woo?”
Apollo didn’t understand the words, but he sensed her worry and rubbed his face against her hand affectionately. “Ah–woo, ah–woo!”
Just as they arrived at the Burnetts‘ villa and were about to get out of the car, they heard a loud roar.
“Cheater! I hope you rot in hell!”
Milly was dumbfounded.
That voice….
As she pulled Apollo out of the car, she saw Philip standing before her, rosary in one hand and a cane in the other. If Anthony hadn’t held him back, he would have likely lashed out in anger.
And the person he was pointing the cane at was another elderly man with greying hair, holding a majestic Tibetan Mastiff.
“Philip, you shouldn’t act like a child at your age. We should admit defeat. Since I won, I’m the Gold Chess Master, and you can only be the Silver Chess Master.”
“Bah! You win because you cheated, and you’re calling yourself the Gold Chess Master? What an insult to the title!”
Milly was speechless.
This was her first time seeing two old men argue so aggressively. Are arguments between old people this intense?
It’s so similar to kids arguing!
But she quickly changed her mind when she saw Philip’s anger grow. His beard bristled with rage as he hissed, “Philip, I knew you wouldn’t admit defeat. That’s why I brought my grandson here to settle the
score!”
The grandson he mentioned was the Tibetan Mastiff he held in his hand. He had raised that dog from a young age and treated it like his own grandson.
Philip was so worked up that he jumped and swung his cane around fiercely. His chest heaved with emotion as he spat, “Hmph! You have a grandson, huh? Well, so do I! I’ll have my grandson compete with. yours to see who’s better! Anthony, get him!”
Anthony was stunned. “Um… Grandpa? Are you serious? That’s a Tibetan Mastiff!”
Philip saw him take a step back and grew even angrier. “Are all these days of training for nothing? As a soldier, you should have the courage to move forward!”
After scolding him loudly, he leaned in and whispered in Anthony’s car, “My good boy, win the ‘Gold Chess Master‘ title back for me, and I’ll buy you a big plane!”
