Chapter 4 Millie Wants Her Trust Fund Back 電話 Before Millie's grandfather , Beau Jackman , passed away , he realized nobody in the family had a real knack for business . So , he put most of the family fortune into a trust fund . Every month , the Jackmans ' heirs got a three - million - dollar allowance . For them , that money was huge as it was basically their main income . Back when Millie wasn't living with her family , Anna collected the money . But once Millie returned , the lawyer wanted to switch the account to her . Laura stepped in and said , " Millie , you're talented . You started a top design company before You graduated , and I heard your adoptive parents also left you a fortune . " Anna is delicate and loves to shop . Let her keep getting that three million a month . " So , for five years , Anna took Millie's trust fund . At that time , Millie didn't care about the money , but about love . She figured if it made her mother happy , she'd go along with it . But after the car crash , everything felt different . Millie finally understood the truth . Chasing love from people who didn't care was like handing them a knife and letting them stab her . If they didn't care , why should she bend over backward ? So , she told the driver . " Take me to Brighthaven Estate ." The Jackman Residence had stood for almost a century , tucked quietly among green hills and tall trees . Five generations had lived there . When Millie walked in , she saw Laura , Edgar , and Anna at the table . As soon as Anna spotted her , her face twisted with disgust and rejection . 1/5 Chapter 4 Millie Wants Her Trust Fund Back Edgar just frowned . Laura , who was about to serve Anna some food , paused for a moment before asking , " Millie what brings you here all of a sudden ? " She glanced at the cozy scene , her tone calm and flat . " From your faces , I take it I'm not exactly welcome ? " Laura stiffened , then forced a gentle smile . " Of course not ! This is your home . You can come back anytime . Edgar , on the other side , put down his fork and leaned back . He sneered . " You said you were in a car accident , right ? Where's the injury ? " You're so shameless . You lied just to stop us from Bong with Anna and rushed back from Eldoria . Good thing none of us bought it . " Millie knew their trip to Eldoria for the art show lasted only a week . She'd been in the hospital for over two weeks . They'd been back in Northspire for days , but none of them had come to see her . Whether she'd been in a car accident , they simply didn't care . Millie stayed calm . She let out a cold laugh . " What lie ? You didn't even come see me in the hospital ." Edgar didn't show guilt . He just snorted . " Even if you were truly in a car accident , I wouldn't visit . My only sister is Anna . " Laura attempted to ease the tension . " Edgar , Millie barely comes home . Don't be like that . Let's not bring up the past . " She turned to Millie with a soft , loving voice . " Millie , haven't eaten yet , right ? Diana , set another plate ." The housekeeper , Diana Lynch , quickly obeyed . Millie sat down calmly . Anna , across from her , gripped her fork tightly . 2/5 Chapter 4 Millie Wants Her Trust Fund Back Even though Millie's return didn't change her place in the family , every glance reminded Anna she was just an imposter and a maid's daughter . Anna felt very uncomfortable . She didn't want to see Millie at all . She'd never thought Millie would survive that crash . She'd even sent the whole family to Eldoria for the art show to avoid Millic Meanwhile , Laura placed a spicy barbecue rib on Millie's plate . " Millie , this is your favorite . The chef made it extra spicy today . Try it . " Millie frowned at the food . Her leg was still healing , so spicy food was off - limits . Even when healthy , she hated it and never ate it Seeing Anna's smug face , Millie realized Laura had mixed them up again , giving her the dish Anna loved . Back then , whenever Laura served food , Millie would always feel happy . Even if she didn't like it , she'd cat it just because it came from her mother . But one time , the dish was way too spicy . Her throat swelled up , and she ran a high fever that night . After that , she thought Laura would remember she couldn't handle spicy food . It turned out that Laura never paid attention . This time , Millie wasn't going to push herself . She just tossed the barbecue rib onto the table and told the maid coldly to bring a fresh plate . " Mom , you're so forgetful . Last time I ate something spicy , I ended up in the hospital with a fever . And now you've done it again ." 20 Laura looked embarrassed as she glanced at the food Millie had dumped . She'd genuinely forgotten . The only thing she remembered was that Anna loved spicy food . Edgar snapped , " Mom , she's just being ungrateful . If she doesn't want it , fine . Nobody here 3/5 Chapter 4 Millie Wants Her Trust Fund Back even wants her around , so why bother remembering what she likes ?" Millic looked at her so - called brother . He didn't even hide how much he hated her . She once truly believed she was the one at fault . But she had once caught him hugging Anna by the stairs . Now , listening to him , Millie didn't feel angry . Instead , she laughed , looking calm and collected . " Edgar , your stocks are tanking , and you've taken out tens of millions in bank loans . The deadline is coming . How are you planning to pay it back ? " Edgar's face went red , then pale . He jumped up . " What nonsense are you talking about ?! " How does she know about this ? Lately , he's been completely stressed out from the bank hounding him nonstop . If he didn't pay soon , everyone would find out . His father would be disappointed - maybe even remove him as general manager of Jackman Group . He had to quietly liquidate some family assets to cover the debt . It took time , though , and he still hadn't been able to repay it . Laura looked shocked . " Edgar , what's going on ? What loan ? What stocks ? " Edgar frowned and snapped , " Mom , don't listen to Millie . She's just trying to sow discord and slander me on purpose . " Right then , Flynn walked in after finishing a phone call . " What's all the shouting about ? " Edgar shrank back . " Nothing , Dad . " He shot Millie a glare , as if warning her to keep her quiet , or else he'd beat her to death . Millie didn't care about that idiot at all . Now , with everyone home except Zaiden , the Jackmans were all gathered . Zaiden worked as a photographer and was constantly on the move , often only making it home once a month . 4/5 Chapter 4 Millie Wants Her Trust Fund Back Millie put down her fork and suddenly announced , " About the three million monthly family trust fund ... I already told the lawyer to have it sent straight back to my account from now on . "
