She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 230
"Millie Caldwell, that was low! The incident happened a while ago! Why would you dig it up at this time? Is this your revenge against my family because Winston is divorcing you?"Staring at Joanna, Millie finally understood the reason behind her anger. Joanna mistakenly thought it was Millie who had released the news to the media.She scrambled up from the bed, but Joanna tried to shove her again. She slapped Joanna's hand away, causing the latter to stagger backward.Scowling, Joanna glowered at Millie.Millie gracefully tidied her shirt and her hair. Then, she fixed her gaze on Joanna. "It wasn't me.""Quit acting! You always act like a goody two shoes, when in reality, you're the most hypocritical and shameless of all!" Joanna pointed a finger at Millie. Her eyes hardened with anger.When the media covered the Snowdrop incident, she and the Lowells instantly became social pariahs. Reputational damage aside, the scandal had affected the stock price of Lowell Group."I told you

Millie had just stepped into the Cardiac Surgery Department when she overheard Vanessa gossiping, "Oh, the Lowells are going to be so humiliated after how they showed off their gift of Snowdrop herb only to send a fake!"Another doctor nodded in agreement. "They've shot themselves in the feet."When Vanessa spotted Millie, she waved at her. "Hey, Dr. Caldwell! How are you doing? Are you discharged?"Millie nodded. Eyes widening in disbelief, Vanessa went up to her. "Dr. Caldwell, how did you get your hands on the Snowdrop herb?"Millie gaped. How should she reply to Vanessa? She couldn't tell Vanessa she was the invincible M from the M Base.In the middle of her dilemma, another doctor playfully shoved Vanessa with a grin. "Remember? She came from a medical family. They probably own all sorts of medicinal herbs. The Snowdrop herb is not a big deal for them!""Ooh, was it from Professor Cadmore?" Vanessa laughed along. "After all, you needed a presentable gift for your grandmother

"Bitch! You shameless bitch!" Joanna wouldn't stop clawing at Millie.Millie held Joanna by the wrist and gave her a shove. Frowning, she bellowed at Joanna, "Are you done?"Silence enveloped the department. Joanna stumbled onto the floor, cheeks flushed. Two buttons on her shirt went missing.She looked up and instantly wept at the sight of Millie. "Millie, how dare you hit me?""So what? Don't you think you deserve to be hit for acting like a madwoman?" Millie's ice-cold voice echoed in the space.Joanna could only point a finger at Millie while sobbing and gasping for breath. She immediately dialed Winston's number and sobbed into the phone, "Win, Millie just hit me. I need you right now!""You—" Vanessa pointed at Joanna and growled, "Why did you bring Dr. Caldwell into our fight?"Kneeling on the ground, Joanna touched her cheek and stared at Millie with an aggrieved expression. She couldn't care less about Vanessa, as Millie was the thorn in her flesh.…While attending

Winston's gaze swept over Millie, his eyes burning with anger. Hadn't he told her that night to stop targeting Joanna? He had thought if they could get along, Millie would leave Joanna alone. But now, it seemed like he had overestimated her decency. Millie ignored Winston's scrutiny and fixed her eyes on Joanna. Deep down, she sarcastically applauded Joanna for being so pretentious. What a show she had put on!"What did I do to you?" Millie was determined to get to the bottom of it. Wasn't she the one who tried to break up the fight and got injured by mistake?Probably because of her harsh tone, Joanna shuddered and sought refuge in Winston's arms. She appeared even more delicate and pitiful now.Winston frowned while gently patting Joanna's back. "Millie, it wasn't Joanna's fault she gave the fake Snowdrop. She was deceived too. I know you gave the genuine one, but there's no need to be so aggressive.""I don't see how I've been aggressive." Millie looked at Winston in confusi

Why did Winston turn on Millie as soon as it concerned Joanna? He didn't even ask what had happened before blaming her. Millie lowered her head and slumped into the chair with a sigh."Dr. Caldwell…" Hazel called out. Millie raised her head. "Yeah?""Are you… okay?" Hazel asked with concern. Millie pressed her lips together. What could possibly be wrong with her? She had long become immune to being misunderstood like that. It had happened far too many times. Right then, Vanessa finally arrived. "Dr. Caldwell."Millie glanced at her, and Vanessa asked, "Are they gone?""Yeah. How are you?" Millie observed Vanessa.She looked quite battered. There were two cuts on her face and bruises on her wrists, and her hair was a tangled mess.At that moment, Millie considered calling Winston back to see how ruthless his supposedly fragile first love could be when it came to fighting."I'm sorry, Dr. Caldwell." Vanessa felt bad. But Millie waved, seemingly unconcerned, as she replie

Suddenly, Joanna held Winston's hand. She gazed at his profile, hoping he would tell the reporters that he was indeed filing for divorce with Millie.The reporters caught her small gesture and hurriedly zoomed in. Millie had thought seeing them behave like that would no longer affect her. However, at that moment, she was somewhat furious. Her frustration stemmed from the fact that they were no longer hiding their relationship. This was a press conference, after all, and it was broadcast nationwide. If her parents and grandparents were watching, they would undoubtedly be infuriated."Millie and I are indeed—"Before Winston could finish his sentence, there was a commotion outside the press conference venue. Everyone asked, "Who is it?""Who's here?"The crowd turned to look outside. Selma, exuding a commanding presence, strode into the venue with two rows of bodyguards trailing behind her. She was clad in a black velvet suit, and her demeanor was as serious as ever. She sto

Winston was at a loss for words. Selma sneered and chided, "Looks like you've lost your mind!"He frowned, clearly angered. "Grandma, could you please not meddle in our affairs?""I must get involved when it concerns the reputation of the Greer family!" Selma stated firmly.With that, the two were at an impasse on stage. Unfortunately for Winston, the person standing before him was Selma, and this only annoyed him to no end.Selma looked at the reporters and solemnly announced, "I want to thank everyone for their interest in my grandson, Winston Greer, and my granddaughter-in-law, Millie Caldwell. Let me make it clear, Winston and Millie are not divorced." Selma figured she would deal with the rest when the time came. However…"As for Winston and Ms. Joanna Lowell, I want to clarify their relationship as well. Winston treats Joanna like a younger sister. There are no romantic feelings involved."As she spoke, her gaze swept over the dejected Joanna in the audience. Joanna b
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 237
"Ms. Lowell, any comments on Mrs. Greer Senior's recent statement?""Ms. Lowell, can you clarify your relationship with Mr. Greer? Are you two seeing each other in secret?""Ms. Lowell, why did you look so pale when you heard Mrs. Greer Senior intends to adopt you as her granddaughter?"Selma had taken Winston away, leaving poor Joanna alone at the press conference. Numerous reporters surrounded her, and there was no way for her to escape their barrage of questions."Ms. Lowell, is it true that Mr. Greer and Ms. Caldwell are getting a divorce? Is it because of you?""Ms. Lowell, please answer our questions!"As microphones surged toward her, Joanna was overwhelmed by the dark mass. She was on the verge of breaking down. The thought of Selma wanting to adopt her as a granddaughter felt like a cruel irony. Who would want that? All she wished for was to be Winston's wife.Just when Joanna thought she had no way out, the reporters in front of her were abruptly pushed aside. Then,

Layla said, "Even though it's soon New Year's and everyone is busy, try to be a bit more gentle! We're all elderly people here, so what's wrong with being patient?"Since you're in the service industry, you should maintain a proper attitude. If you can't even speak politely, then you shouldn't be in this line of work. I suggest you close up shop for good!"Winston squinted. That voice sounded very familiar. It seemed like Layla's voice.He quickly walked over and saw that Arthur was helping an elderly gentleman up while Layla was engaged in a debate with a young female shopkeeper."How I run my store is my business. If you want to buy something, go ahead. If not, just leave. I don't need you to tell me how to run my life!" The store owner glared at Layla while speaking with a very unfriendly tone, their voice sharp and cutting.Layla was exasperated and asked, "Don't you understand the saying that the customer is king?""What about the damn king? Just go away," the lady grumbled,

Layla said, "Look, you're really persistent, aren't you? I don't like you. Do you need me to spell it out for you?""Grandma, I want to pursue Mills. Since I want to be with Mills, I need to have everyone's approval. Right now, I'm trying hard to make everyone like me. It's part of the process that you might dislike me at first, but I can't just give up because of that. How else would I pursue Mills?" Winston said clearly.As expected of a businessman, his negotiation style was very serious and precise. Despite his gentle tone, there was still a strong sense of pressure in his eyes and demeanor.Layla moved her lips slightly. She didn't know how to get Winston to leave, so she shouted, "I don't care! Just stop bothering us here!"Winston furrowed his brows.Layla then asked Arthur to pull the cart himself.Ding! Winston's phone rang out.Arthur took the cart and quickly left with Layla.Winston stood still, watching the couple walk away, and couldn't help but sigh. The call on

"Grandpa, are you okay?" Winston finally had a moment to ask how he was doing.Arthur nodded. His demeanor toward Winston seemed a bit more gentle than before.Layla sighed. "There's too many people. Let's all slow down a bit.""Okay," Arthur said with a smile. "Don't worry, I'm fine.""You're getting older, and a fall could be life-threatening," Layla said anxiously, holding onto Arthur's arm tightly. "Hold onto me, alright?""If I hold onto you, I'll end up pulling you down as well if I fall!" Arthur grumbled.Layla said, "I don't care. Just hold onto me.""Okay, I'll hold on to you," Arthur relented.Winston was quietly following them from behind and couldn't help but smile himself. This was pretty nice.Who wouldn't envy a relationship that stayed this loving and affectionate all the way until old age?"Should we buy some candy?" Layla said, pointing at the candy in front of them.Arthur said, "Okay."Whatever she wanted, he would agree. The two of them acted both harmo

"She's been hurt so badly, almost losing her life, yet he said she's fortunate. Clearly, he's the fortunate one! If he leaves our Mills, where else is he going to find a girl as wonderful and sweet as her?"Arthur nodded in agreement, playing along like a sidekick. "Exactly, that's what I'm saying!"He spoke a bit louder than usual, clearly aiming his words at Winston.Of course, Winston surely understood what they were thinking.He nodded. "Grandma is right. It was definitely me aiming too high. So if I get another chance, I will definitely treat Millie well.""Hmph! Men are all talk!" Layla had long seen through Winston's ways.Winston was at a loss for words.It didn't take long to reach the entrance of the supermarket.There were a lot of people present because of New Year's Day shopping.After Layla got sick once, her health had significantly worsened. Additionally, with one of her hands not working well, she appeared a bit flustered when she and Arthur entered the superm

"Dear, could you give me a hand?" Layla asked. "Oh no, why is this step so slippery?"The next day, Winston sat in his car, watching as the elderly couple came out of the Caldwell residence.Arthur held the shopping cart in his hand, and the two of them were all geared up, ready to go out shopping.Winston got out of the car. The elderly couple happened to see Winston at that moment.Arthur and Layla exchanged glances. Layla spoke up first. "Mills is not here!""I understand. I'm not looking for Mills." Winston approached and stopped in front of them. "Grandma, Mills should have mentioned it to you. I was thinking of spending the Spring Festival with you and her."Layla reacted as if she had just heard a joke, saying bluntly, "When you were married, we never saw you spend the Spring Festival with her. "Now that you two have nothing to do with each other, why are you coming to spend the Spring Festival with her? She has family; she doesn't need you to spend the Spring Festival w

Even though Winston wasn't eating, he was really good at paying and carrying things.Millie felt a strong sense of nostalgia for her own college days as she watched the university students eating.She wished she could go back to high school or maybe even college.She had seen many novels where the main female character went back to high school, and in each of these stories, she no longer loved the male lead when she returned back in time.If she went back to high school…"What are you thinking about? You're about to walk into the wall." Winston interrupted Millie's thoughts and pulled her closer to him.Millie really had almost bumped into a wall."Nothing." She smiled at Winston.Winston raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.The light from the food trucks shone on him and cast an indescribable sense of fate about him.He didn't belong here. Millie felt an increasingly strong urge to take him out of the scene immediately.Millie felt that if she went back to high school

"Hey, young lady, would you like to try some beef organs?" a vendor selling snacks asked Millie while preparing the food. "You're such a pretty girl, and your boyfriend is quite handsome too!"Millie and Winston exchanged a glance.Millie shook her head and was about to say she didn't want any.But Winston simply said, "I'll take two."Millie gave Winston a questioning look.Winston said to her, "I wasn't planning on buying it either, but she called me your boyfriend. With her having such good taste, shouldn't I buy two to show some support?"The vendor laughed heartily.Millie pressed her lips together and moved her mouth slightly. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.The vendor said, "It seems like I was right. If I had mentioned the word husband, then would you have bought out my whole car?"Winston nodded. "I'm considering it. However, I don't think she'd approve."The vendor laughed heartily and said, "You all look unfamiliar, so you probably aren't from the school

Millie was the type of person who stood firm on what she wanted, regardless of who was around. No setbacks or hardships could affect her.Winston thought about this and felt even more heartache for Millie. He was the one who turned the brave and passionate girl, someone who never cared about what others thought, into the cold person she was now.He felt that loving someone was akin to taking care of a flower. He had watched as a beautiful tulip transformed into a rose covered in thorns."Winston?"He heard Millie's voice close by.Winston turned his head and saw Millie frowning. "What are you thinking about? Let's go?""Not going to watch for a bit longer?" he asked."I've seen this fountain so many times. What's so special about it?" Millie remarked with a clear voice, glancing at the fountain.Winston smiled but didn't say anything.In the past, every time she was there, she would always use excuses like "I haven't seen enough" or "Let's watch the fountain a little longer" t

"Hey there, could you help me take a picture?" Millie was looking around when someone suddenly called out to her.Millie turned around to see a tall boy holding a camera. Behind him, there was a girl waiting.Millie nodded and was about to take the camera to help with taking a picture.Winston suddenly asked, "Can I help""Huh?" The boy paused. He looked at both of them and then said with a smile, "Alright then…"However, he was clearly hesitant.Millie chuckled and said, "Let me handle it. I might be a bit more skilled than Mr. Greer is."Winston shrugged and didn't say anything else.Millie stepped forward with a camera in her hand. The two students stood next to each other. They maintained an appropriate distance, suggesting they weren't close. The girl wore a dress layered with a coat, which made her look stylish.Millie observed the two individuals. She could tell that the boy had feelings for the girl, for he was being very cautious.The girl was smiling sweetly at the
