Chapter 288 Rain-soaked Rivalry

So, Milly figured everything would be excellent if she stuck close to the leading group as they made their way forward.

Keeping that in mind, she loosened up and picked up her pace.

Then, out of nowhere, Stephanie pops up in front of her. Stephanie, who was usually glued to Lucius in the middle of the crew under everyone's watchful eye, now stood before Milly with a smirk. "Milly, I won," she declared,

Milly couldn't help but laugh and gave Stephanie a look of amusement and disbelief. "Really?"

Stephanie hadn't changed much, even if she had a do-over. With that logic, Milly doubted she'd last in any severe drama, let alone 'Empresses in the Palace.

Paused in her tracks, Milly gave Stephanie a direct look, "Win? If you think winning means pulling off a poor performance that ends up pushing people away from me to feed your ego, then, honestly, that's pretty sad." "Only kids think they need to prove how liked they are through games."

Stephanie was clearly ticked off by Milly's laid-back vibe, her teeth practically grinding, "What's with the high horse? You're the one looking sorry right now. Don't think I can't see through you you're just playing the victim."

Since they were trailing at the end of the group, with everyone else hustling along, their little showdown went unnoticed, giving Stephanie the chance to drop her nice girl act.

Milly just smiled at the outburst.

Weirdly, Stephanie's raw display was refreshing compared to her usual act way better than someone overdid it with sweetness.

Her smile only fueled Stephanie's rage. "What's so funny?"

Milly, still smiling, replied, "I find it funny that you keep calling me pitiful when you're the one to pity. I mean, I'm a born Burnett. I don't have to lift a finger the Burnett heir title is mine. And you?" "You're trying so hard, putting on a show. It's hilarious. Hey Stephanie, how long do you think you'll last with the Burnetts if you ever lose everyone's favour?"

"Boom!" Thunder roared above, quickly followed by a downpour that drenched everyone's clothes and turned the ground into mud.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Everyone scrambled for big leaves to use as makeshift umbrellas. Yet, Stephanie just stood there, motionless, her gaze fixed on the ground, her feelings hidden. If she lost everyone's favour..

No, it won't happen.

She saw this second chance at life as a gift, determined not to repeat her past mistakes. She was going to

But things seemed different now. The affections of Jordan, Jonathan, Anthony, and Grandpa, which used to be all hers, seemed waning.

I like Milly said, they stopped loving her, what reason would she have to stay with the Burnetts?

Why couldn't she be a true Burnett by blood? Why did she have to be the adopted one?

Frustrated and biting her lip until she tasted blood, Stephanie suddenly perked up, a sly look crossing her face as an idea struck her.

Who's to say that being an adopted daughter means she can't stay with the Burnetist

Why shouldn't she be the sole Master in the Burnett household if there's only space for one?

If Milly managed to vanish once, she could do it again, allowing her to remain Master of the Burnetts

Thinking this, Stephanie couldn't help but feel a rush of satisfaction and pleasure.

Suddenly, she looked up, her eyes meeting Milly's.

An inscrutable smile crept onto her face.

Far from naïve, Milly caught that look and instantly grew wary, sensing Stephanie was up to no good again.

As the rain began to pour harder, Stephanie moved closer to Milly, squinting through the rain but determined.

"You'll never get the better of me, Milly!" she declared.

All of a sudden, she found the strength to shove Milly hard.

Even though Milly was standing pretty firm, the recent rain had made the mountain trail slick. And being right at the edge, a shove was all it took to possibly start a slide down.

While the trail wasn't all that steep, it was deep in a thick forest. Things were different in their favour with the weather like it was.

Stephanie knew what she was up against but went for it anyway.

Even though Milly had a hunch that Stephanie was up to no good, it totally caught her off guard when Stephanie actually shoved her in front of everybody. Whoever turned their head first would see the whole drama unfold.

So there she was, despite being on high alert, getting pushed. Ell

"Ah!" Stephanie attempted to step back, but the rain and slick ground were against her.

A firm yank on her arm pulled them, causing them to roll down the hill together.

"Help! Help!"

When Milly came, she found herself in some spot she didn't recognize. Luckily, she felt pretty okay and didn't seem seriously hurt.

Out of nowhere, she felt something heavy crash on her leg, followed by a Prined, touch ite

It turned out that Stephanie somehow landed right on her leg, causing her pain.

Milly didn't think twice before saying, "Get off mel

Her kick hit Stephanie hard, sending her tumbling a couple of meters away.

Still ticked off, Milly tried to get up to keep kicking, but her other foot started killing her.

Carefully, she checked out her ankle and figured it was just a sprain, nothing broken.
