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

    Bernard gave Clara a strong push. She fell to the ground, crying out in anger, "What's the meaning of this!"Bernard approached Winston with his hands tightly clasped and bowed respectfully as he exclaimed, "Mr. Greer!"Winston raised his hand, signaling for him to get up.Clara sat on the ground, feeling completely dumbfounded. Why was Bernard treating him with such respect? Who was this person? What was his background?Winston, with a cold expression, adjusted his sleeve and looked indifferently at Clara on the ground.Bernard said, "Mr. Greer, you should have told us you were coming! I would have had someone prepared to welcome you long ago. I'm really sorry for any inconvenience you experienced. Please accept my apologies!""What's wrong with her? Is she unwell?" Winston asked, pointing to Clara on the ground.Bernard quickly said, "She…""No matter what's up with her, disrespecting customers is a big mistake. I am demanding that her shop undergo rectifications before reope

    Winston raised an eyebrow and stepped forward.Clara felt a sudden shudder in her heart and instinctively took a step back.Winston scoffed. What was she backing away for? Was she scared?She was simply someone who bullied the weak but was afraid of the strong. What capabilities did she even have by picking on elderly people?Winston's gaze was steady, and his expression became increasingly cold and harsh.The woman frowned and stayed silent.Winston, speaking calmly and without any agitation, said, "If you don't want to escalate the situation, apologize now. If you're unwilling, then we'll have to get the police to handle it."To begin with, he was never a patient person. The reason he was speaking so nicely was to make a good impression in front of Layla and Arthur.In the past, whenever he encountered such a situation, he wouldn't even pay it any attention and would simply have Eli take them to the police station.Whenever someone made a mistake, it was important to address

    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
