Chapter 273

Author: Gina Cinq
Millie drove Rachel home. When she was about to leave, Rachel asked, "Are you coming to the entertainment industry party tomorrow night?"

Millie gazed at Rachel, who suddenly approached. She leaned on the car window, her bangs dancing in the wind. There was a palpable sense of longing in her expression.

Rachel truly desired Millie's company for the dinner, clearly uncomfortable at the thought of attending alone. Millie sighed when she saw how pitiful she looked. She couldn't refuse this beautiful woman.

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you," Millie said with a hint of resignation.

Rachel grinned. "See you tomorrow night."

"Fine, I'll just steal your spotlight then," Millie teased.

However, Rachel remained unfazed. She walked into her house after Millie drove away.

On her way back, Millie checked the latest news. To her great relief, no one had leaked the fact that she had attended the car race and engaged in such a cruel act.

Millie suddenly felt hungry, so she called Marvin. "Let's

    "The upcoming actress is Melanie Gardner, who recently starred in a low-budget online series. With her striking beauty, she effortlessly captivated the hearts of the audience."Millie stood behind a reporter, nibbling on a lollipop. She was listening to the reporter's live broadcast introducing tonight's guests."Rachel Shaw? Rachel hasn't arrived yet," the reporter said, glancing at the comments flooding the live broadcast."Rachel is reaching soon. Don't worry, ladies."Millie glanced at the comments on her phone and couldn't help but notice the overwhelming discussion about Rachel. Without a doubt, she truly had a large number of supporters."Mills, why are you here?" Her arm was suddenly grabbed.Millie turned around, only to find Thomas standing there. After gazing at him from head to toe, she nodded in approval. He looked very charming in his black suit."Why are you wearing this to the entertainment industry's party?" He pointed at her in disapproval.Millie lowered her

    The man gazed upwards and caught sight of Millie and Rachel."It's Jake." Millie was surprised.Jake greeted them with a wave and a smile. "Hi."Rachel gave Jake a subtle nod as a greeting. Jake glanced at Rachel, unable to resist studying her momentarily before diverting his gaze."Mr. Webson, do you usually attend this type of party as well?" Millie asked curiously."Oh, I don't usually attend, but I have something to take care of today," Jake explained with a cheerful smile.Millie didn't want to ask further, but he immediately added, "I came here for a celebrity. I need to discuss a business with her."Millie nodded with a smile. "I see. That celebrity must be very lucky. It's amazing to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Webson."Rachel also smiled and said faintly, "All the best."He raised an eyebrow, with a smile growing in his eyes. "I hope so."After that, Jake left to continue working.Millie and Rachel watched as Jake left, crossing their arms. Millie commen

    As soon as Millie walked away, she ran into Simon. She greeted excitedly, "Hi, Simon."Simon was surprised. "Mills, you're here too?""Rachel forced me to come here. How about you?" Millie asked."Do you know Rachel?" Simon was shocked.Millie pouted. "You must be joking! Rachel is my best friend, and we've known each other for years. I've seen her rise to a superstar firsthand."Simon chuckled and said, "Then I have a favor to ask."Millie pondered what favor he would like to ask."The endorsement contract with the endorser for our jewelry store has recently expired. We're seeking a new celebrity to represent our brand. "Rachel is a highly suitable candidate. But her busy schedule has made it difficult for our company to secure an appointment with her. I was wondering if you could introduce me to her?""It's a small matter. When Rach is available, I'll ask her to join us for dinner, so you can discuss it with her. But I can't guarantee that it'll work out. I respect Rach's c

    Millie greeted Winston with a smile, raising the watermelon she was holding.Winston inwardly groaned, then he continued to exchange pleasantries with the others.Millie set down the watermelon rind, delicately wiping her fingertips. As she looked up, her gaze locked with Joanna's brother, Logan. Something seemed off about this supposed entertainment industry party she was attending. Instead, it felt more like a gathering of Yerwick business elites.After glancing at Millie, Logan picked up the cup beside him and took a sip of coffee. Millie pondered whether to greet Logan. After all, there was an unspoken tension between them. Just as Millie hesitated, Logan said, "I heard Ms. Caldwell and Winston are getting divorced?"Millie couldn't help but look at him. He looked elegant in his black suit, with a smile on his face. One hand in his pocket, the other holding a cup. Logan was a mature and decent man. However, he couldn't hide his happiness when he asked this question. Milli

    Madison was frustrated with Rachel's sarcastic response. The two locked eyes, their gazes intense."Rachel, Madison, look over here," a photographer called out suddenly.They immediately stood side by side, hand in hand, beaming at the photographer.Millie was completely speechless. She figured this must be the epitome of an actor's self-cultivation. However, Madison was still a long way from reaching Rachel's level. Rachel's tassel dress radiated an extraordinary shine, and even though Madison revealed more skin, it just wasn't enough to match Rachel's stunning presence. Standing side by side, Madison paled in comparison, unquestionably inferior. Millie couldn't help but think that if she were in Madison's shoes, she would certainly be wise enough to steer clear of Rachel and avoid unnecessary trouble. Rachel's presence was simply too radiant to handle."Rach, do you know that Mr. Webson is currently searching for a new endorser?" Madison asked."No idea." Rachel shook her he

    Millie had barely exchanged a few words with Rachel when Jake approached."Ladies, it's too quiet chatting just between the two of you. Why not let me join in?" Jake suggested with a mischievous smile.Millie crossed her arms and gestured toward Madison. "I saw you two were having a good chat."Jake glanced over at Madison and sighed. "Alas, I don't even know her.""She's the only person I know in the industry." Jake suddenly pointed at Rachel.Rachel, who was in the middle of eating, was taken aback by this unexpected encounter. She responded with a warm smile and graciously replied, "It's truly an honor to be remembered by you, Mr. Webson."Jake chuckled and leaned against the bar. He playfully commented, "Your smile seems fake.""There are even more fake ones. Would you like to see them?" Rachel glanced at Jake, her tone unfriendly.Jake had been interacting with various people for many years, and his keen perception allowed him to quickly discern whether someone was treatin

    Jake almost believed that Rachel was nice enough to let it go. Then, he looked at Joanna. "No idea." Joanna was dressed beautifully and gracefully tonight. Perhaps it was due to her illness, but she exuded a delicate charm tinged with a touch of vulnerability. She appeared somewhat pitiful and deserving of love.After Joanna entered, she walked straight over to Winston. The people around Winston cleared a path for her. She stood in front of Winston and said with a smile, "Win.""Why are you here?" Winston was surprised and wondered why she had come here instead of resting in the hospital.Joanna smiled. "I'm here to attend the event with you.""You still haven't fully recovered," Winston whispered.Joanna immediately shook her head. "I'm fine."Winston and Millie had finally divorced, and now she could openly attend any event with him. She was determined not to miss any opportunity to showcase her relationship with Winston."Mr. Greer, who is this?" Margaret asked deliberately

    Joanna stood there, momentarily stunned. Instinctively, she reached out for Winston's arm, only to miss her grasp.Millie observed Winston's actions intently. He smoothly adjusted his shirt and casually glanced in her direction."Logan," Winston called out as he saw Logan approaching.Logan nodded and hummed in response. Then, he stood in front of Joanna."Joanna is still unwell. Please take her back to the hospital. There are many people attending the event today. It could potentially worsen her condition if anything happens." Winston's authoritative voice resonated deeply as he decisively conveyed his instructions.Joanna glanced at Winston. Then, she averted her gaze at Millie, who was conversing with Rachel nearby. She anxiously bit her lip, then gestured toward Millie and asked, "Do you want me to leave because she's here?""No," replied Winston.Joanna smiled and then asked with teary eyes, "Win, did you truly mean it?"Winston frowned and replied seriously, "Joanna, be

    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

    "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
