"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

"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,

"We're clearing away the negative energy!" Julia told Millie. "A tidy house brings good energy."Millie believed Julia must have seen the press conference where Winston showed up with Joanna. She couldn't shake the feeling that she had let her family down by bringing disgrace upon them.Winston had truly crossed a line this time. He hadn't considered the Caldwells at all. Millie pouted and looked up at Julia. "Why can't I get this clean?" Julia muttered while cleaning.Millie's gaze darkened slightly. She knew full well there was a deeper implication behind her mother's words. So, she chuckled and teased, "Are you guys deep cleaning the house because Grandpa consulted the psychic again?"Julia waved in response. "No, it's not that. Go wash up! We're having dinner together. Thomas is here today."Millie blinked. Thomas was back?She immediately dashed into the house, and sure enough, Thomas was playing chess with Terrence. The two brothers were having a great time together and

Millie was having dinner when she suddenly received a call from Selma."Mills, I'll be attending an afternoon tea hosted by an old friend tomorrow. Would you like to come along?" Selma's gentle voice made it hard for Millie to decline. Seeing that she was on the phone, Terrence asked, "Who is it?"Millie glanced at her father before replying, "Grandma, I have something on tomorrow. I might not be able to make it."There was a brief silence on the other end of the line. A few seconds later, Selma let out a sigh. "It's okay then."Millie lowered her gaze and softly suggested, "Grandma, I really have matters to attend to at the hospital. Why don't you give me the address and tell me the time? I'll head over once I'm done. How does that sound?""No, it's okay. It's good that you're keeping yourself busy." With that, Selma hung up.Millie stared at the phone for a while. In the end, she sighed and thought, "Forget it. I should decline. It's about time Grandma needs to accept the f

While in the hospital, Millie rubbed her arms to keep warm. Then, the person on the bed woke up.Millie turned her head and looked at the person on the hospital bed. Winston's eyes were dull and showed signs of exhaustion. Their eyes met, and neither of them said a word.The nurse entered and saw that Winston was awake, so she patiently asked about his condition.He just kept looking at Millie without saying anything.Millie glanced at the nurse, signaling that she could continue with her work. Winston seemed fine now."You're not allowed to drink anymore," Millie said, her voice calm and indifferent.He closed his eyes, turned his head away, and didn't look at her again.Millie frowned and asked, "What do you mean by turning your head?"Winston remained silent, unable to speak because of the tightness in his throat.Millie poured a glass of water and asked him, "Would you like some water?"He still remained silent.Millie grew impatient and said, "Then I'll call Eli to take

Other than that word, Everly couldn't hear anything else."Dad, I can't hear what you're saying at all." Everly was becoming frustrated.Thomas exclaimed, "I said, Mills!""Yes, you're talking about Mills. And then? What about her?" Everly was extremely confused.She picked up her phone to check the time—it was already 3:00 am.She was about to lose it. From New Year's Eve till now, she did nothing but take care of Thomas."Dad, why don't we just go to sleep?" Everly didn't want to listen anymore.Whatever it was, she would be nice to Millie and not go up against her.She didn't like Millie before, but that was simply because she disliked how obsessed Millie was with romantic relationships."Oh! Ah!" Thomas suddenly started grumbling as he threw back the blanket. "Why can't you understand?"He was getting agitated.Everly was also getting extremely agitated. What exactly did she need to understand?He wasn't even speaking loud enough."I mean your sister! Millie!" Thomas s

Everly, feeling exasperated, helped Thomas off the couch and took him to the bathroom.Thomas lifted his head. His face was flushed, and his eyes dazed over. "My daughter, my daughter, I didn't throw up…"Everly looked at the mess on the ground and felt a headache coming on. Thomas had already thrown up, yet he still claimed he hadn't."You're drinking so much even though you can't handle it!" Everly shouted."What are you saying? It's like you're saying, saying, saying… ugh!" Thomas immediately leaned over the toilet, unable to finish his sentence. It was like he was speaking in tongue twisters, and no one could understand him.Everly sighed. She twitched her nose and turned to go outside to wait for him.Ten minutes went by, and Everly had finished tidying up the house. There was no sound coming from the washroom where Thomas was.Everly furrowed her brows and called out, "Dad?"Fine. It seemed like he was going to end up sleeping on the toilet.Everly walked over and, as ex

"I'll go get your medicine for you. Wait a moment." Millie intended to get the medicine from the bedside table.But then, Winston grabbed her arm. His palms were sweaty, and when he held her hand, it felt so hot it was as if he might burn her.Millie looked down at him.Winston looked up at her face, worried that if he let go, she might disappear.However, he knew very well that Millie wanted to leave, and he couldn't stop her."Millie, do you really have to give up on me?" Winston asked again, seeming determined to get an answer.Millie furrowed her brows, breathing heavily."Do you have to?" He looked at her. "Hmm?"Millie felt her heart tighten, and she just couldn't bring herself to say, "I have to let you go.""Winston," she called to him.Winston had no more strength left in him, as if he couldn't wait any longer to hear those words from her.He suddenly bent over and fell to the ground.Millie paused for a moment, then she quickly crouched down. "Winston?"She immed

Millie tightened her grip on the doorknob and turned to look at Winston.He stood next to the coffee table, his hands dangling awkwardly at his sides. The expression on his face seemed profoundly sorrowful. Although they were close, it felt as if a huge ocean stood between them when he looked at her, making it impossible for him to bridge the gap.Winston made a slight groaning sound, licking his lips and breathing heavily. His body was also swaying a bit. His stomach felt extremely uncomfortable, churning violently as if he might throw up at any moment.What bothered him even more was the comment Millie had just made.She said, "Let's end this."End it? But how would they just end it? Then were her seven years over just like that? Did his guilt and regret count for anything?She could move on from him, love someone else, and marry them. But what about him? He could never forgive himself for the rest of his life…Could they just end it?"Millie. Tell me, how are we supposed to
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 1026
"Listen." Millie bit her lip but finally mustered up the courage to speak. "Let's end this between us."During those years with him, she caused her family a lot of worry and concern. She no longer wanted her family to worry about her.Or perhaps, she had become scared. She didn't want to gamble with her feelings anymore."Winston, I admit defeat. I don't have the courage to go through this with you again." Millie's voice was choked with emotion as she struggled to hold back her sadness while saying this.Winston instinctively reached for her hand."Millie, you promised me. You said you'd give me a chance. Why?" His eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and his voice was so hoarse it seemed like he could barely speak."There's no reason. The new year has begun, and I hope you get better. Don't come looking for me anymore." Millie pulled away from Winston's hand, turned around, and got ready to leave.He suddenly hugged Millie tightly and said, "Don't…"Winston's voice seemed to pierce

Millie opened the car door and pushed Winston inside the car.Winston fastened his seatbelt in the dark by himself.Millie got into the car and saw him sitting there quietly, which made her smile and sigh.Millie drove at a moderate speed. The road was busy, with many people out to watch fireworks, while others were heading home.Winston looked to the driver's side, his gaze fixed on Millie.Millie could sense that he was watching her, but she kept avoiding eye contact. Her mind was preoccupied with the messages her dad had sent.Let him go… The question was, could she give up on him?Millie furrowed her brow and rested her hand on her forehead, deep in thought."Did I make you hate me…?" Winston's raspy voice suddenly sounded next to her ear.Millie looked over at him with confusion."Does my drinking make you hate me?" he asked again, just like a child afraid of upsetting Millie."No." Millie shook her head.Despite having drunk too much, he still made an effort to pay at

After the video call ended, Millie placed her phone on the table.Thomas said to Millie, "Hahaha! Mills, look, he can't handle his drink!"Having been the son-in-law of the Caldwell family for three years, I only just found out that he can't hold his liquor."Millie gave a wry smile. This statement seemed to be a double-edged sword. For three years, he hadn't visited the Caldwell family even once. Winston was truly ruthless at that time.Winston quickly explained to Millie, "Millie, I haven't had too much. I can still drink, honestly."His face was completely flushed, and it was clear that his speech was slurred.The two of them had already finished a bottle of vodka.Thomas was even ready to switch to a different type of alcohol.Thomas had spent many years away from home and was quite a heavy drinker. His drinking ability was different from that of Winston.Winston could ask Eli to drink on his behalf if he didn't want to, but if Thomas was trying to win resources for Rach

At the dining table, Thomas and Winston started drinking vodka.The TV was showing this year's New Year Gala while Millie was quietly eating pierogi.She hadn't had homemade pierogi for three years, and they tasted so good. It felt like being back in her childhood, celebrating the New Year with her family. That was what made the festival truly special.Millie looked at her grandparents with a constant smile on her face. She felt happier than she had ever been before.She wished her parents were here too. Oh, those two…Just as she was thinking about this, her phone rang. It was Terrence calling.Millie answered the call without saying a word and pointed the camera toward Thomas.This year, Thomas had no one to drink with, so he turned to Winston for company.Terrence was lounging in the sun when he caught sight of Winston. His eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately set down his juice."Who is that? Am I seeing this right?" Terrence sat up straight, his voice filled with
