Winston tightened his grip on his phone and looked up at Caldwell Villa. He stared at the place for a long while before driving away.In the end, he still didn't respond to the designer's text.…When Millie went downstairs for breakfast the next morning, she heard Julia say, "I saw Winston when I came home last night."Millie, calmly eating her breakfast, asked, "Where?""In front of our house." Julia had just finished work when Winston left. She found it odd that he would pass by their villa, so she checked the surveillance footage and saw that his car had been parked at their entrance for nearly half an hour. "Oh," Millie responded simply."Everyone's saying he's about to get engaged to the Lowells' daughter." Julia sipped her coffee and looked at Millie. However, her daughter was unfazed. She continued to eat her sandwich while scrolling through her phone. "Best wishes to them," she replied dismissively.Whether Winston got engaged to Joanna or not was irrelevant to

Joanna froze, staring in disbelief at her hand, which Leah had pushed away. She couldn't believe that Leah had shoved her aside and rushed over to Millie. Just moments ago, Leah had been so welcoming in her office. Joanna looked up, only to see Leah circling Millie."Oh my, Millie! This is my first time meeting you, and you're gorgeous!" Leah praised with a smile.She continued, "I'd heard from your mother that you had a model's figure, but I thought she was exaggerating. Now that I see you, I'm truly impressed!"Designing clothes for someone like you will be effortless. You'd look amazing in anything! Let's get your measurements. I already have some ideas that will make you the center of attention!" Leah's flood of compliments left Millie blushing and unable to respond. Behind them, Joanna's face turned pale as she watched Leah fawn over Millie. Joanna chuckled wryly and asked, "Leah, didn't you say you weren't taking on any new clients?"Leah turned around and laughed heart

Joanna couldn't help but glance at Winston, swallowing the words on the tip of her tongue.Having already put on her sunglasses and bid Leah goodbye, Millie cast one last look at the couple after hearing Winston's response. Despite Joanna's firm belief in their love, she wasn't as happy as she had hoped. Winston seemed less caring toward her than he had been in the past.After Millie left, Winston and Joanna followed suit. When they came out of the store, Joanna stood by the car. Winston was puzzled as to why she wasn't getting in. "Joanna?" he called. Joanna, gripping the car door handle, fixed her gaze on Winston. Her eyes were filled with confusion as she asked, "Win, tell me the truth. Do you have feelings for me or not?""Not again, Joanna." Winston found it frustrating that she kept asking the same question and always brought up how she had once saved him. Joanna pressed further, "Why didn't you ask them to send my gown along with yours? I could just come by your place

Marvin showed Millie the text, and she was livid. Who the hell was this?"Boss, who do you think brought the Aspher to Musbane?" Marvin suddenly realized an important detail. Wasn't there only one person from Yerwick City who traveled to Musbane? They exchanged glances, and Millie suddenly exclaimed, "Winston!" Marvin snapped his fingers and said, "That's right! Who else but Winston?""But at that time, the Aspher was missing. William didn't manage to win the auction for it. Could someone else have won the bid? Maybe this person is rushing to sell it because they need quick cash?" Millie asked.Marvin quickly shook his head. "No way. They said the price wasn't an issue." "Then it must be Winston." Millie unfastened her seatbelt and decided to meet him. She wanted to know what exactly he was up to. If he genuinely wanted to give her the Aspher, why not just hand it over? Why insist she pick it up in person?Did Winston want Millie to thank him face-to-face? What a hypocrite!

Back at M Base, Millie ran another check on the Aspher. Once she confirmed that everything was in order, she repackaged it and uploaded the data and photos to the M system. Marvin observed as she worked through each step. Yvonne, on the other hand, rested her chin on her hand, watching intently. "Boss, what's the Aspher for?""My grandfather wants to give it to my grandmother," Millie answered.Yvonne tilted her head and exclaimed, "Wow, Mr. Caldwell Senior is so romantic! The Aspher is truly beautiful!"Her words got a chuckle out of Millie. "Romantic? Do you think it's because of how pretty it is? To Grandma, it's just another medicinal ingredient."Arthur knew Layla needed the Aspher, so he went out of his way to get it for her. That was just how the Caldwell men were. They would always find ways to spoil their wives.The blue smart screen flashed "Import Successful". Millie snapped her fingers, indicating that the job was done. "I'm taking the Aspher home now," Millie anno
