A Film Queen

Chapter 195 Fight Fire With Fire Finished Let's set aside other things first. The description of one of them as an old man and the other as a weakling fits this situation well.

Anthony glanced out of the corner of his eye at Philip. As expected, the old man began to waver upon hearing this.

He decided to add fire to the fuel, saying, "Grandpa, if you think he's up to no good, just send him away. In any case, we've already offended everyone around here. They'll definitely clooking for trouble. I'm too weak to fight back, so we'll just have you surrender." The word 'surrender' was particularly harsh to his ears.

Philip's face darkened instantly as he pointed at Anthony and cursed, "You useless brat! I see you've had it too easy. Talking about surrender-that's disgraceful! A true man never surrenders!" Philip was a soldier, a man who fought with his comrades on the battlefield, someone who had shouted, 'Bleed, but don't cry. How could he ever surrender? This word was an insult to him.

Anthony spread his hand and asked, "What can we do? I can't fight them off. At worst, they can laugh at us. They've laughed at us for over ten years; another day or two won't make a difference.

"Being laughed at for another ten or twenty years? Let's just consider it a test of our mental resilience." After saying this, he sneaked another look at his grandfather's expression.

Sure enough, Philip's complexion had turned grim. His chest was heaving with anger. Despite his fury, he remained uncharacteristically silent.

Anthony was right.

Their current arrogance was thanks to Apollo carning them respect. If Apollo left, they'd return to their former state.

Stephanie noticed Philip's hesitation too. She hadn't expected Anthony to openly oppose her, and she glared at him with resentment.

Fine, if you're heartless, don't blme for being ruthless! Taking a deep breath, she said, "Anthony, we can't jeopardise the family's safety for a trivial gain. His background is suspicious, and we don't know his true intentions for coming to our house. Taking him in would be too risky. If our temporary vanity leads the family into disaster, wouldn't that be too dangerous?" She chose her words carefully, with earnestness and sincerity, as if she were genuinely considering the welfare of the family. If Anthony refused her suggestion, she could immediately claim the moral high ground and accuse him.

Then, no matter how hard Anthony tried to explain, he wouldn't be able to justify his reason.

She thought her plan was perfect, but to her surprise, Anthony didn't answer directly. Instead, he pointed at her, and his eyes widened in disbelief. His expression was hurtful.

Grandpa, you've been helpful to her for nothing. She doesn't understand your good intentions at all!" Ilhat a clever more! Stephanie was speechless.

Pili Milly, who was sitting nearby, couldn't hold back her laughter.

Anthony is impressive! He's actually fighting fire with fire.

Stephanie was a hypocrite, but Anthony's response was even more insincere than her, though slightly... too flattering.

However, since Grandpa was old and wouldn't notice, it didn't matter.

Milly's laughter provokes Stephanie. Stephanie's frustration grew as she stomped her foot, feeling wronged by the situation. Stephcomplained, "Grandpa, look what Anthony's done! He's bullying me!" Anthony blinked. He looked innocent as he defended himself, saying, "Grandpa, I only spoke from my heart. How did it turn into bullying her? I can tolerate her callingvain, but to say that about you? I couldn't stand it. If you want to punish me, I accept it. I just care too much about you, Grandpa!" "You!" Stephanie's gaze was sharp, and she wished she could cut him into pieces.

Anthony pouted innocently. He challenged, "What? Is it wrong to care about Grandpa?" "Enough!" a clear voice interrupted their argument.

Jordan's cold gaze swept over them as he said, "I'll investigate this matter." Philip was always decisive, but he had largely remained silent because the old man was unsure of how to handle the situation.

If he sent him away, it would be a real shame. Losing such a promising young man would be heart-wrenching. However, if he didn't send him away and something happened, he would be forever marked as the family's eternal sinner.

When Jordan stepped up and took the lead, Philip felt like he had found a backbone. Finally, he exhaled. deeply and gently tapped his cane on the ground. He then said with a stern expression, “Alright, we'll do as Jordan say." No one dared to voice an objection.

was Sphanie pursed her lips in dissatisfaction but didn't dare to defy Jordan. She feared Jordan, who wa different from before. In the end, she had to swallow her words:

Jordan had previously mentioned finding her biological parents. She ito m thought he was just saying it casually After all, she had complained to Philip, who supported her. Stephanie thought Jordan would let it go for the sake of their grandfather. Unexpectedly, he actually found her parents and even forced her to meet them today.

Now, just thinking about those lowly, filthy migrant worker parents made her feel disgusted. That small room, barely a hundred square feet, even housed an old woman on the verge of dying. The moment she entered, the stench almost made her throw up. She still felt that foul smell seeping into her skin. They appeared pathetic, constantly weeping, asserting that she had been missing and they hadn't. purposefully left her behind.

Haha! How ridiculous! They must have seen her wealth and wanted to cling to her. Those lowly people were experts at playing the victim.

If Jordan truly sent her away, it meant she had to return to that filthy, cramped house, reeking of mildew, and face a dying person.

No, absolutely not! The mere thought made her scalp go numb, and she couldn't breathe evenly.

She couldn't sit idly by: Stephanie decided she had to protect herself!

If her brothers wouldn't help, she'd turn to Philip. As long as Philip intervened, Jordan wouldn't dare to defy him once she beca celebrity and brought glory to the family, Jordan wouldn't want to send her away.

"Grandpa, I need to talk to you. Today I...

"Enough. All of you should go upstairs. I need to talk to Grandpa," Jordan's cold voice interrupted her plea.
