Semua Bab She's Out of Your League Now: Bab 311 - Bab 320

"Joanna, before this, I would have given you my blessing if you were truly in love with each other. But—" Gloria extended her arm, gesturing at her bodyguard to get her the newspapers.News about Joanna had made headlines, filling up the entire front page. There were reports about her falsified qualifications and the termination of her employment at Bifrost Hospital.Joanna's expression crumpled when she saw the news. Her worst nightmare had come true. She proposed to Winston hastily, hoping to seal the deal before the news reached the Greers, but it was too late."Just look at you. How can we accept you into our family? You'll only bring disgrace to us." Gloria tossed the newspaper at her without hesitation.Joanna stumbled a few steps backward. Her heart shattered when she saw the newspaper that had fallen onto the ground."Ms. Lowell, the Greers are not an ordinary family. We do not simply approve of any woman who dreams of marrying our son. I'll stay out of your business if yo

After washing up, Millie went to the living room on the first floor, where the TV was playing the same headlines. "Lowell Group Heiress Shocked as Winston Greer Rejects Her Proposal!"Millie froze right before she drank her milk. Did that mean Winston chose to leave with Gloria?"Morning, Mills." Terrence came up to her and patted her on the head.She looked up. "Good morning, Dad.""You haven't watched the news, have you? Joanna Lowell tried proposing to Winston last night, but Gloria crashed the party! Oh, Gloria Meyer is still as fiery as before!" Terrence folded his legs on the couch and rested his arm on the armrest as he let out a belly laugh."It's all Joanna's fault for ruining everything for herself. She's lucky enough to have a decent career, all thanks to our Mills, and she messed it all up!" Julia taunted when she descended the stairs and straightened her shirt.Nodding, Terrence agreed, "This is karma for being a homewrecker. Things won't go well for her."Millie

Millie frowned. Could Lainey be considering evaluating her performance to see if she was fit for a promotion to deputy chief?"Dr. Quinn, it's a little too fast, don't you think?" Millie asked the question she had been thinking about.Lainey paused briefly, unsure what Millie meant."The deputy chief position," Millie joked.Lainey glared at her and retorted, "Dream on! With your qualifications, you're nowhere near that position."Millie immediately burst into laughter.Right then, someone opened the clinic door. Millie was about to ask for the files when she heard a familiar voice. "Dr. Quinn, I'm here for a follow-up."Millie looked up and saw it was none other than Selma. "Grandma?" Millie exclaimed in surprise. Selma was equally astonished. "Mills, you're here!"Millie nodded and asked, "Are you not feeling well?""I'm here for a follow-up," answered Selma."By yourself?""They're busy, so I came alone," Selma replied with a smile.Millie helped her into a chair,

Millie made cobb salad, garlic butter shrimp, pumpkin soup, and lastly, baked salmon. "I'll serve the risotto. Take a seat, Grandma," Millie told Selma.Selma sighed before saying, "Mills, about Joanna and Winston's proposal—""Grandma, if you ask me, you should just let them be. After all, Winston genuinely likes Joanna." Millie's voice carried from the kitchen and was a bit louder.Displeasure clouded Selma's face at once as she asked, "Are you serious?"At that moment, someone pushed open the door, and she turned to look. Millie emerged with the risotto. "Grandma, let them be together—"But when she stepped out, she realized Selma wasn't by the table. Just as she was about to set the plate down, she noticed someone coming in the door.Millie paused, her words faltering as she met the person's gaze."Mr. Greer," she greeted. Her voice was calm, yet there was a hint of surprise.Winston frowned slightly. He, too, was taken aback to see Millie there.Suddenly, Millie drew

"Why are you telling me this?" Millie asked, bewildered. Did Winston really believe she still cared about him? Or did he want to see her jump with joy because he had rejected Joanna?"Do you have nothing to say?" Winston asked, feeling both astonished and frustrated.Millie glanced at him sideways and retorted, "Well, what do you want me to say? Great? Wonderful?"Winston's gaze darkened right away. As he stared at Millie, he realized for the first time that he no longer knew her. She seemed like a stranger. He even wondered if she was still the Millie who had followed him around, calling him "Win". How had she become so cold? Millie behaved as though Winston meant nothing to her."Millie, are you still mad that I misunderstood you?" asked Winston.When Millie flung the evidence at him in the hospital, it was clear she had been holding a grudge all this time. "You're reading too much into it." Millie cast a quick look at him before walking out. Winston turned, his eyes follo
