Semua Bab She's Out of Your League Now: Bab 711 - Bab 720

Millie headed to the restroom to touch up her makeup. She stared at her reflection in the mirror and let out a deep sigh.She couldn't help but find it amusing as she recalled Winston's earlier remarks about investing in Aurora Jewels. His reason for not investing in Butterfly was that she already had plenty of backers and didn't need him. It was a classic case of self-delusion.Just because she had everything, did that mean he shouldn't give her anything? How could he know that what she truly wanted might be something only he could offer?Millie lowered her gaze, lost in thought. Right then, someone appeared at the door. As soon as she spotted Winston in the mirror, she clicked her tongue and said, "Mr. Greer, this is the ladies' room.""And what about it?" Winston crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. He knew the restroom was empty, with only Millie inside. If it weren't, he wouldn't be standing there so brazenly.Millie didn't respond. Instead, she chose to reapply her

"Butterfly's comeback collection is hard to get. Even if I introduced you to her, she still wouldn't sell it to you," Ivory said, clearly suggesting that Winston should give up.But Winston wasn't the type to back down easily."If she's released the collection, it means she's waiting for someone to make an offer. If my bid is right, why wouldn't she sell it?" Winston's cold gaze locked onto her. His look made his position clear.Ivory was displeased. Both she and Butterfly were designers in the jewelry industry, yet Winston was discussing Butterfly during her own exhibition. It was incredibly frustrating. She stared at Millie's figure, then turned her gaze back to Winston. However, his eyes remained fixed on Millie.Ivory smiled wryly, feeling a deep sense of despair about her life. Perhaps this was how things went when she fell for someone she shouldn't have—constantly pursuing him or finding herself just too late.She had developed feelings for Winston back in university. But

The moment the words left her lips, everyone's attention shifted to Millie.Winston pushed through the crowd, his brow furrowed as he looked at her. He had just heard her say, "What if I own Butterfly's Winter's Embrace?"Meanwhile, Ivory looked completely bewildered. How could Millie possibly have Winter's Embrace? It was still just a design draft, and Butterfly hadn't announced that it had been sold.Suddenly, Natalie burst into laughter. The room's atmosphere grew tense. Everyone fell silent, waiting to see what would happen next. Only Natalie's laughter grew louder and more brazen.Everly quickly grabbed Millie's arm. She shouldn't be making such claims, especially about Butterfly's new work."You're lying. If Butterfly's Winter's Embrace had been sold, it would have been announced on the design forum. But Butterfly hasn't said a word," Natalie said.She then pointed at Millie. "So you're just making it up!""That's because we're still negotiating the contract, but Butterf

Natalie was still in disbelief. "You know Butterfly?" she asked."Didn't I already say? Butterfly and I go way back," Millie replied with a smirk.Of course, they knew each other. In fact, they couldn't be closer."We grew up together," Millie added. She lowered her head and casually tugged at her earlobe, putting on a show.Natalie found herself falling for the act. Even her once-cocky tone had softened. It was hard to believe that Millie and Butterfly had actually grown up together. A flicker of confusion crossed Winston's and Everly's faces. How could they not have known that Millie and Butterfly were childhood friends?Especially Winston, who had been involved with Millie for years. And yet, he had no idea she was connected to someone like Butterfly.Everly's lips twitched. It felt like she had been dealt a blow. Her cousin was close to Butterfly, and here she was, shamelessly praising Butterfly right in front of Millie.However, Millie hadn't said a word. Instead, she had

Millie made her way back to the research lab and promptly began refining Aspher. It was a time-consuming process that required constant supervision. As she examined the array of data displayed on the equipment, her expression grew increasingly serious.She was confident that the essential essence could be extracted from Aspher, yet she harbored the expectation that the refinement process might yield unforeseen surprises from Aspher. If it could ultimately benefit SH2N, that would be the most remarkable outcome.With a deep sigh, Millie rubbed her temples. Just then, her phone rang unexpectedly. She glanced up and reached for the phone that was plugged in to charge.Her phone buzzed with a flurry of group messages from the research lab, perplexing her about the ongoing discussions. Hundreds of messages flooded in, and it wasn't until someone mentioned her, prompting her notification popped up. Upon checking, Millie discovered that not only was she tagged in the group chat, but she
