Jordan nodded affirmatively, “Alright, I'll allow it." The principal at last experienced a wave of comfort, and the weight on his heart. eased.

Once the school leaders reminded Milly and Lucius of their responsibility towards Jordan, they finally turned and left.

What a pity! I didn't even have the chance to ask for the goddess' phone number and name! Whether real or imagined, he consistently sensed Jordan deliberately obstructing his view of his goddess, his gaze tinged with hostility.

After everyone departed, Jordan finally shed the icy demeanour from his face and discreetly retrieved a silk handkerchief from his suit pocket. He delicately dabbed the beads of sweat from Milly's forehead, his voice carrying a tender concern.

"Milly, are you feeling overheated? "You see, I told you earlier, just take the car directly. It would have been much better. Now look at you, sweating all over.

"Why don't you return to the apartment? If you're interested in learning about the school, I can have Ivan deploy sdrones to provide a panoramic view for you. You can watch all the school's details from your sofa at home." Chapter 266 Lucius Proposal 45 Pearls Jordan was usually a man of few words, reserving his patience only for Milly. In her presence, he would openly display his affection, his eyes shining with unmistakable indulgence.

Milly felt a brief moment of emotion.

Despite being moved, she couldn't bring herself to capitalise on such a convenient opportunity. Moreover, she had never encountered the ambience of local universities in her previous life, viewing it as a chance to amend prior disappointments. Even amidst weariness, she found herself sincerely satisfied.

Thus, she smiled, comforting Jordan and teasingly remarked, "Don't worry, Jordan, I find it rather interesting." Witnessing her eyes sparkle with delight, Jordan sensed her authentic joy and decided against further insistence. Forget it, money can't buy happiness for my sister.

As long as Milly is happy, I will support her no matter what she wants to do. Whether it's just visiting the school or even if she wants to blow up the school, I will be willing to provide her with the best explosives.

"Con, I'll accompany you to explore the school. If there's anything you don't like, just letknow, and I'll arrange funding from the finance department for improvements." Jordan spoke as he positioned himself to Milly's right side, his tall figure blocking the sun and casting a shadow over her, shielding her from its rays to prevent her from getting sunburned.

Milly overlooked his subtle gesture, still enthralled by his extravagant words.

Could this be linked to the Burnetts' bankruptcy in my previous life? The more she contemplated, the more credible it appeared. Indeed, in her past 2/4 Chapter 266 Lucius' Proposal life, Jordan had similarly doted on Stephanie, fulfilling her every desire. Now, it was Milly's turn. Jordan remained unchanged.

Keeping the context in mind, she spoke with resolve, “Not necessary, Jordan. The company has financial needs in various areas. Let's spend wisely. I've heard about several recent bankruptcies, leaving people homeless. It's quite unsettling." This subtle implication should be clear enough for Jordan to understand, shouldn't it?

I won't let the Burnetts go bankrupt, and you'll never have to end up on the streets." His voice carried an unusual firmness.

Is he implying something beyond his words? Before she could ponder further, a chilling voice interjected, “Jordan, I'd like to discuss a business proposal with you." Lucius, who had been quietly observing from the side, now positioned himself behind them and spoke with a resolute tone in his voice.

Jordan's smile disappeared instantly, giving way to a touch of hostility.

Lucius swiftly adapted his approach and continued, "Mr. Burnett, I'm keen on discussing a potential business opportunity with you." Jordan remained calm as he responded, "If you want to talk about business, please arrange a meeting through my assistant." A slight grin appeared on Lucius' face, but his eyes betrayed no joy.
