At the Greer Group factory, the media had been waiting for hours, anticipating Winston's arrival. An incident of this scale required his personal presence.Near the ruins, the victims' families wept openly, their cries cutting through the air with raw, unbearable grief.As soon as Winston's car pulled up, a crowd descended on him—grieving family members, security personnel, and reporters.Before stepping out, Eli turned to remind Winston, "Mr. Greer, we need to handle this delicately. Three people have died, so we need to agree to whatever the families request."Winston gave a silent nod, a sense of guilt weighing on him as he glanced at the devastated families.The Greer Group had always prided itself on strict safety measures across its factories, shops, and offices. So, he couldn't understand how an explosion like this could have happened. Everything about the whole situation felt off.The moment the car door opened, a wave of chaotic voices surged toward him from every direct

Millie logged into the M Base network and immediately spotted a viral post.User123 had written, "Paying top dollar for explosives. You know what I mean."Millie squinted at the screen. This person was shockingly brazen. Flaunting such a transaction so openly was reckless. To make matters worse, the explosion at the Greer Group factory had happened right after they purchased the explosives. Didn't they worry that people might connect the dots?Millie checked the user's profile and saw their IP address was from Yerwick City. Their arrogance was astounding! It was as if they were daring everyone to link them to the factory explosion.She sighed, deleted the posts, and banned the user. Then, she texted Marvin, "Have you found out who this person is?"Marvin: "Drew is still working on it, but it's tough because they're using a fake identity."Millie was intrigued. It made sense why they were so daring; hiding behind a fake identity had emboldened them.Millie: "Understood."Marvi

Winston's gaze lingered on Millie for a long moment. He knew that, while Terrence was a compassionate man, he wouldn't stand up for him at this point. So, Millie's statement was likely just her own perspective.He felt a deep gratitude toward her and a profound regret for how he had lost and hurt her. Winston wasn't sure how to make amends, so all he could do was spend the rest of his life trying to atone for his mistakes."Thank you," Winston said weakly, barely managing a nod. Millie remained silent and turned her attention back to the emergency room. At that moment, the light above the emergency room door went out. Sebastian soon appeared and reassured them, "Everything's fine. She just had a bit of a scare."Millie looked puzzled. "How could Grandma have a scare without any apparent reason?""That's something you'll need to ask the guardian," Sebastian replied, offering no further explanation.Feeling uneasy, Millie turned to Gloria, who wore a troubled expression. "I di

Millie turned to look at Winston. "What?"He fell silent for a moment, then met her gaze and repeated, "I'm asking if you're leaving.""What, can't bear to see me go?" Millie responded lightly.They locked eyes as she spoke. It had been a long time since they had looked at each other this way. Yet, their gazes conveyed different emotions now.In the past, it was Millie who showed reluctance. Now, Winston's eyes revealed the same feeling. Where his gaze once held indifference and amusement, those emotions now appeared in her eyes."If I said I couldn't bear to see you go, would you stay a little longer?"Winston pressed his lips together as he watched the elevator numbers tick down. Before long, they reached the first floor.Millie glanced at him and chuckled. "That's not very convincing."Winston fell silent. He had never been good at begging. In his entire life, he had never had to.When the elevator doors opened, Millie noticed him clutching his stomach. With a sigh, she sai

Just then, the door to the ward swung open. Millie turned to see Gloria stepping inside."Where's Win?" Gloria asked. "His gastritis flared up. I just took him to the emergency department for an IV drip," Millie replied.Gloria paused for a moment, then let out a sigh. "He's always making people worry about him. Ever since he left you, his life's been a complete mess. Mills, I…"Her gaze lingered on Millie. There were so many things she wanted to say, but when their eyes met, the words seemed to vanish. A heavy silence settled between them, and eventually, all that was left was a deep sigh. Millie looked at Gloria, and a surge of sympathy she couldn't quite describe swept over her.Selma had fallen ill, Winston was wrapped up in his own problems, and Brian was buried in work at the company. That left Gloria to handle everything at home on her own. And she still had her job to worry about.Life was tough for everyone, especially adults. Millie felt for Gloria, so she decided to
