Chapter 371

"Are you shocked?" Winston wondered. Millie tried to gather herself. Well, Winston's arrival wasn't that surprising. She had always wondered if he was the guy who smoked in front of the restroom; what an unbelievable coincidence!"Why did you agree to meet with William?" Winston glared at her in an accusatory manner."Don't worry about me. Mr. Greer, please drop me off in front." Millie pointed at the entrance of a restaurant. She needed some food after an eventful day.Winston smiled. "But you would've been arrested if not for me.""Mr. Greer, I have help. Do not flatter yourself." She snickered with contempt.Even if she were arrested, she'd escape by herself. Besides, she had a plan B. The hairpin contained poison. She wasn't joking when she threatened to make William impotent, and she bet the effects must have kicked in by now. If William captured her, she would withhold the antidote from him or threaten to publicize his impotence.She smacked the car window. "Stop!"

Chapter 372

Millie was willing to pay any price for the butterfly necklace if Winston agreed to sell it to her.He left the car. "Let's eat for now."She stared at him wordlessly. He peered at her from outside the car. Then, he teased her, "Do you want the necklace or not?"Damn it. She hated that the necklace had fallen into his hands. Now, she was subjected to his whims. Her stomach growled from hunger, and she thought getting a free meal out of Winston wouldn't hurt.She entered the restaurant and sent Marvin her geolocation. She texted him, "Join us for dinner. A sucker is paying."Winston led Millie into a private dining room. All the while, she had been focused on the news, wondering if William might lodge a police report. She decided to hurry back home after dinner for her safety."He won't file a police report. Have your dinner in peace," Winston said while ordering.She was caught off guard. How did he read her mind?Winston quietly checked out the menu and ordered a few of their

"I would be really thankful to you if you're willing to give up the necklace." Millie flashed him a sincere smile.However, if Winston refused to sell the necklace, she wouldn't bother him about it. After all, it was just a necklace.Winston raised an eyebrow. Taking a sip of water, he calmly asked, "Ms. Caldwell, what can you offer in exchange?""What can I offer? I'm buying it." She shrugged. "How about double the price of the winning bid?"Marvin's heart sank when he looked at the two of them. Although they were no longer husband and wife, they would still make a powerful duo.Winston was always aggressive. Meanwhile, Millie had become increasingly intimidating with a streak of madness. "Let's not always talk about money. That's crass," Winston replied with a sigh.Millie refused to engage further. "Mr. Greer, just let me know when you're ready to give up on the necklace. It's getting late. I don't want to take up any more of your time. Bye!"She tried to leave, but Winston

Chapter 374

"Of course. I'll call you back after I land." Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in Millie's ear. Her eyes flickered open, and she spotted Winston, who had just gotten off a call.She stared at him wordlessly. What a small world!Winston wasn't surprised to run into Millie on the flight, which was the earliest flight back home.Millie regretted not buying an economy-class seat. Meanwhile, Marvin cleared his throat and looked out of the window."Hello, Ms. Caldwell," Eli greeted her with a nod.She stared at her feet. "Hi."Silence filled the air. The sky was dark outside. Millie turned in her seat to avoid looking in Winston's direction. She was ready to fall asleep after the plane took off, but Winston and Eli would not stop discussing work beside her. It annoyed her to no end."You're noisy," she vented without taking a look at them.Eli looked up. He immediately said to her, "I'm sorry."Winston glanced at Millie's figure with an amused expression before going back to work

Chapter 375

Joanna looked in the same direction as Winston, but Millie was out of her sight by now. All she could see was a group of people walking away.Eli broke out in a cold sweat on Winston's behalf. Joanna had no idea that Winston had run into Millie in Musbane. Otherwise, she'd make a scene again!"We've been separated for a while. Let's have dinner together." Joanna took Winston's arm and purred, "I crave for the steak at Siren Club. I want to have dinner there with you."Winston nodded, as he also needed to have a talk with Joanna.Suddenly, he asked about Harriet, "Joanna, how's your mom doing?"Joanna grew furious upon hearing the question. "Win, did you know Millie abducted my mom? Mom was hanging by a rope on a tall building for a night! How could she do that to my mom?"Winston replied, "But your mom did the same to Millie.""I'll admit that my mom is in the wrong, but… but Millie can't do this to my mom!" Joanna looked angry when the topic was raised. She vowed to avenge Harr

Chapter 376

Millie stole another look at Kennedy, thinking, "Hm, he's pretty hot."Her phone chimed. It was a text from Rachel. "Have you landed? Wanna join me for some drinks?""Sure!" Millie replied before closing her phone. Then, she whispered to Terrence, "Dad?""What is it?" Despite being interrupted, Terrence didn't seem irked."Rachel invited me to hang out. Drop me off in front." Millie pointed toward the front. Terrence replied, "Okay."Before she left, she nodded at Kennedy, "Mr. Sullivan, happy working with my dad. See you again when I have the chance."Smiling, he answered, "Yeah. See you again."Millie shut the car door and skipped her way to meet with Rachel. Unbeknownst to her, Kennedy, who had hesitated to cooperate with the Caldwell Group, finally gave the green light.…Millie changed into a black dress at the bar and casually put her hair up with a claw clip. Her elegant nape was on full display.She ordered a glass of wine and searched for Rachel in the crowd. She s

Chapter 377

Millie quickly helped Rachel up. Soon, a few men surrounded them.A man with short hair barked at Millie, "Hey, take your hands off her."With a glance, she immediately knew they were responsible for spiking Rachel's drink."She's my friend. I'm taking her with me," Millie announced.The men exchanged looks and grinned. She must be foolish to believe she could leave with a woman they had set their eyes on."You'd better behave. Do not press our buttons." A man neared Millie and glowered at her.A bald man pointed at Millie while stroking her chin. "This one looks pretty too. Why don't we take her with us as well?"She narrowed her eyes.The man in the lead chuckled loudly. "She is. Let's bring her along."Millie rolled her fist. "I'll repeat one more time—get out of my way."However, they ignored her warning and went up to snatch the two ladies. Amid a wave of dizziness, Rachel felt someone grabbing her arm.Millie immediately swatted the hand away. "Don't touch her!"She p

Chapter 378

Winston waved at Seth and said coldly, "You'd better not tell me who your dad is.""My dad is—" The words were about to come out of Seth's mouth when Winston warned him, "Are you sure about this?"If Seth revealed his dad's identity, Winston would make sure to bankrupt his business.Seth opened his mouth, but someone cautioned him, "Seth, that looks like Winston Greer, the CEO of Greer Group who has a chokehold on Yerwick's economy. Don't get on his bad side…"Seth immediately toned down. He scrutinized Winston nervously. How could this be Winston Greer?"Bring them away." Winston glanced at the bar owner. "Do not let in any Tom, Dick, or Harry next time."The owner immediately replied, "Yes, Mr. Greer!""What's wrong with her?" Jake's voice echoed in the air. Millie looked behind Winston and saw Jake leaning on the couch and studying Rachel.Millie hurriedly walked around Winston and shoved Jake out of the way. She helped Rachel up.Rachel pressed her body against Millie's.

Chapter 379

When Millie returned with a glass of water, she found Rachel resting her head on Jake's shoulder.Jake croaked, "Millie, I'll send both of you home."Millie frowned at him, but she missed the hickey on Jake's neck due to the poor lighting in the bar."We're good." Millie tried to pull Rachel out of Jake's arms, but Rachel refused to let go, much to Millie's surprise."Rachel!" Millie called to her again and placed the glass of iced water against Rachel's face.Rachel's eyes fluttered open. Sniffling, she answered weakly, "Yeah.""I'll send you home. Now, let go of Jake." Rachel was giving her a headache."No. I want to hug him a while more," Rachel protested, her head hung low.Millie looked puzzled. What had just happened during her absence? She shot a look at Jake, hinting at him to come clean.Rachel was fine when Millie left for water, but why did she suddenly hang onto Jake when Millie returned?Jake cleared his throat with a look of guilt. He dared not tell Millie he ha

Chapter 380

For some reason, Jake spiraled out of control, triggered by Rachel's kiss. The fact that bothered him the most was he loved that feeling.How perplexing.…The next morning, Millie was woken up from her sleep when Rachel freaked out and shrieked by her side.Millie groggily opened her eyes and glanced at her friend before turning on her side and going back to sleep.Rachel's phone was ringing again. It was a call from her manager, Laura.She frantically mumbled, "I'm dead meat."Millie finally sat up in bed. What was wrong? She checked Rachel's phone and gasped when she saw the headline. "A-List Actress and CEO in Hot New Scandal! Spotted Heading Back to Her Place and Hung Out All Night!"Rachel sat on the bed with a vacant look. "Mills, what did I do last night?"Millie also wanted an answer to that question. It seemed that the media had it. They captured photos of Rachel and Jake passionately making out at the restroom entrance.Millie was shocked to find out about it. It
