Millie couldn't help but marvel at the speed of the tabloids; their movements would be captured immediately and made headlines.Frustrated, Millie texted Marvin, "Take down the gossip about me."She didn't mind reading gossip about others, but she refused to have others gossip about her personal life.Five minutes later, Marvin's reply arrived, "I tried, but they can't be deleted."Millie: "Why?"Marvin: "Someone must have paid for the news to be up. Boss, you gotta outbid that person if you want the gossip gone."Millie was speechless. Which loser paid money to keep her news up?Suddenly, she heard a dull thud outside the door. She scrambled up and opened the door to see Winston sitting on the top of the staircase. He held the handguard while propping himself up from the floor. He seemed sickly.Frowning, she asked, "Mr. Greer, are you alright?""Not really," he said in a guttural voice.Millie approached him and crouched. He rested his back against the railing and met her e

Millie shrugged off Winston's words with a smile. Then, she went to the bathroom to wash up.Winston didn't further impose himself on Millie, and he left for the first floor.In the guest room, Millie tied her hair into a ponytail and slipped on a white dress. Looking ladylike, she went to the first floor, where she saw Winston fretting in the kitchen.She asked, "Is a sandwich and milk fine for you?""Of course." Winston couldn't have possibly complained. He was just glad to have someone preparing breakfast for him."Someone took photos of us when we got home. I called a friend to take the news down, but it didn't work. Mr. Greer, can you please take the news down?" she suddenly asked.Winston looked up in surprise. He brushed it off. "It's just a headline."She smiled. "But it bothers me that I was seen with my ex-husband instead of a new guy."She didn't mind being reported on if she were caught going to bars and having fun with a new lover. But being seen with Winston was n

"Oh, don't worry. I dropped by just to visit Winston. Mills, you know he always gets wasted when he's out at business events, and it worries me to think he's living alone. I'm always scared something might happen to him!" Gloria laughed heartily, being in a good mood.Millie nodded and came down the stairs.Gloria sensed that they had used the kitchen, which added to her joy. "Did you make breakfast?"Millie replied, "Yeah. I have to go out later, and I need a quick bite.""Nice. It feels different now that there's a woman in charge of the household. Winston is lucky to enjoy your breakfast!" Gloria shot a look at his son. What a shame to have let go of a perfect wife like Millie!Every time Gloria thought about the divorce, she had the urge to yell at Winston. What a loser! She couldn't fathom what was on his mind. He had all the success in his career, yet his personal life was a mess."Right, Win?" She elbowed him, worried that he wasn't chiming in to praise Millie.However, W

Winston glanced up with a look of confusion. "What's wrong?""I ran into Mr. Caldwell at a meeting just now. He's bidding on a project, but he is missing some documents. If you show up now, you might be able to help him out."Someone called out to Jake in the background, and he promptly hung up on Winston.Winston frowned. What was going on? Jake didn't even mention what meeting he was at. Just when he was fretting, Jake texted him the coordinates of his location. Jake: "Come to the 13th floor of Nimbus Tower. Mr. Caldwell is bidding for a parcel of land in the Meilleur Group's second phase of development." Jake: "He's missing an annual inspection permit, and his competitor is desperately trying to undermine him. It'll be tough to win this project."Winston laughed. Oh, was this about the land in Meilleur Group's second phase of development?Jake: "You're old friends with the Meilleur CEO Sonny Maynard, aren't you? Just put in a word for Mr. Caldwell, and the problem will be

Everyone turned to Terrence, including Kennedy, who had predicted the outcome. Kennedy clenched his fist and snapped, "How is that fair?"Sonny shot him a puzzled look. "Mr. Sullivan, do you have any objections?"Since Winston was present, perhaps he could help resolve Kennedy's grievance. Kennedy looked at Winston with a snort. Oh, he wouldn't dare vocalize his dissatisfaction with Winston around. Even if he protested loudly, Winston would still get his way. How unreasonable!Winston pursed his lips and folded his arms on his chest. He scrutinized Kennedy with a malicious glint in his eyes.Terence shot up from his seat and pointed at himself in disbelief. "Did I win the bid?""Indeed, Mr. Caldwell. Your philosophy matches ours. We hope to achieve a win-win situation by partnering with you. Let's give our best, shall we?" Sonny replied earnestly.However, Terrence questioned, "But we—""Mr. Caldwell, we just got news that the Caldwell Group has passed all the requirements for
