Millie glanced up and smiled at Jake, who grinned in return. "So, can you—""Piss off!" Millie snapped.Jake was taken aback by her fierceness, yet he still begged, "Please, don't be so heartless."After finishing the last piece of meat, Millie tossed her cutlery aside, grabbed her bag, and started to leave. Jake hurriedly trailed after her. Just as she was about to settle the bill, he quickly said, "Put it on my tab."Millie cocked an eyebrow and remained indifferent to his gesture. While she made her way downstairs, Jake followed close behind. "Can you put in a good word for me with Rachel? I feel like she's got something against me."In the elevator, Jake crossed his arms. "I barely talk to her, so I'm not sure what I might have done wrong," he grumbled as he tried to make sense of the situation. Millie felt awkward telling Jake that Rachel acted that way because of his friendship with Winston. "Mr. Webson, you're so capable. How could you not land a deal with Rachel? B

At the hospital, Millie had just arrived at the consultation room when she heard Hazel's frantic voice. "Is Dr. Quinn here? Dr. Caldwell, have you seen Dr. Quinn?"Hazel was clearly in distress. Millie, looking baffled, asked, "Is something wrong?""A patient has developed sudden symptoms, and Dr. Xander can't identify what's wrong," Hazel replied frantically. With a frown, Millie put on her white coat and urged, "Take me there.""What?" Hazel looked at Millie in surprise."Let's go." Millie pulled Hazel's arm. She decided to check on the patient herself.Since Hazel couldn't find Lainey, she had no choice but to lead Millie to the ward.Millie saw the patient's family crowding the door when she arrived at the ward. She glanced outside and instructed, "Have them clear out. Why are they all blocking the entrance?"Upon seeing Millie, Vanessa explained, "The patient just underwent surgery. All the indicators were normal yesterday, but now she suddenly went into cardiac arrest.

Vanessa frowned, unable to shake her worry. However, Millie's determined shove left her with no choice but to step out.As soon as Felix saw Vanessa emerge, he immediately lost his composure. "Why are you out here too? When did that doctor start working? Is she even qualified? I'm warning you, if anything happens to my wife, I won't let any of you get away with it!"His voice was loud, and Millie caught every word.Right then, Lainey rushed over. Upon hearing the commotion, she asked, "What's the matter?""Dr. Quinn, you're finally here!" Felix gripped Lainey's arm tightly as if she were their savior. "My wife is in critical condition!""Why is everyone gathered here? Who's inside?" Lainey noticed a figure in the ward and glanced at Vanessa and Hazel.Hazel whispered, "Um… Dr. Caldwell."Lainey frowned in bewilderment. She thought this was ridiculous. How could they let Millie handle it alone?"What are the symptoms?" Lainey asked as she put on her mask.Just as she was abou

"Dr. Caldwell!"Millie was eating when Vanessa suddenly called out to her and sat across from her. She smiled and nodded at the latter. "Dr. Xander, is there something you need?""Do you have any plans after work tonight? If not, I'd like to treat you to dinner," Vanessa said, beaming with friendliness.Suddenly, Millie sensed that something was off. Vanessa had always been nice and never hostile to her. However, her friendliness today seemed over the top. "Dr. Xander, do you… need to talk about something?" asked Millie.She was certain Vanessa had something important to discuss. Otherwise, she wouldn't have invited Millie to dinner out of the blue.Vanessa felt somewhat embarrassed. She looked at Millie, pondered momentarily, and uttered, "This is a tough subject to bring up."Millie hurriedly shook her head. "It's okay. Just say whatever is on your mind.""I'll still treat you to dinner tonight," Vanessa insisted. That way, she would feel less burdened.Millie pressed her l

Millie sighed inwardly. Vanessa was willing to spend so much money on a meal just for a position. "What a world we live in," Millie mused. She suddenly realized how difficult life was for those at the bottom."I don't want to compete for the deputy chief spot. Besides, I'm not qualified for it."Her words were a comforting reassurance for Vanessa. "You really don't want to compete for it?" she asked anxiously.Millie answered, "I really don't."Right away, a smile spread across Vanessa's face. "But Dr. Caldwell, isn't advancing in the hospital what it's all about?""My future holds many possibilities, but this is your only path," Millie replied lightly.Vanessa fell silent for a moment, then hummed in agreement. It was exactly as Millie had said."Dr. Xander, you need to give it your all. All the best!" Millie encouraged her with a smile.At that point, Vanessa was overjoyed. She quickly nudged Jasper and said, "Jasper, our future is secure now. Quick, thank Ms. Millie!"Mil

In the dead of night, Millie found herself tied to a chair in an unfamiliar, rundown abandoned building. As she slowly opened her eyes, she saw an endless field of debris beneath her, with her chair dangling precariously in midair.Millie wanted to scream, but her mouth was gagged. Looking around, she noticed that the building was just a framework. There was nothing else intact.The full moon hung in the sky, and the wind howled, causing Millie's heart to sink to her stomach."Boss, I think the woman is awake," someone said."I'll take a look." Millie heard something hit the ground, followed by footsteps approaching from behind. She opened her eyes wide and saw a stout middle-aged man appear beside her."My, my, she's really awake." The man, Michael Brown, chuckled. He lifted Millie's chin with a finger and clicked his tongue. "What a gorgeous woman! Wealthy folks are really built differently, huh?"The lackey beside Michael nodded in agreement. "Exactly. Her skin is so smooth

The Caldwells had a good reputation and were on good terms with everyone. So why would anyone want to kidnap Millie?"The rules of this game are all wrong! I object!" Millie shouted."Shut up!" Michael scoffed. "You have no say in this."Millie fell silent and looked at the bricks beneath her. Her thoughts raced as she wondered who could be so despicable as to target her.Was it Winston? But this didn't seem like something he would do. Although he was repulsive, he wasn't the type to stoop to such a lowly act, especially not against her.It must be Joanna then. However, Winston had rejected her marriage proposal. So, she shouldn't have had the time to think about targeting Millie.Millie couldn't make sense of it. She looked over at Michael munching on chips, who happened to glance her way. "Want some chips?" he asked her. "Let me go. I'll give you ten times the amount your employer is paying you," Millie offered.Michael replied nonchalantly, "In the underworld, we're not m
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 331
Millie was initially calm, but after hearing what Michael said, she became nervous and squirmed. "Woah, woah! Watch out. Don't go making yourself fall!" Michael reminded her. Millie was on the verge of breaking down. She wanted to say something, and Michael noticed immediately. "Do you want to look for Winston?" he asked.Millie hurriedly shook her head. Michael was taken aback and said, "You don't want to tell him you've been kidnapped."Millie nodded, which only surprised Michael even more. "Why not?" he asked.Millie wanted to tell Michael that it was complicated. Yet, he continued, "Isn't this the perfect opportunity? If he risks his life to save you, you might get back together. Wouldn't that be great?"Millie was at a loss for words. Though it was a clever suggestion, she had no intention of getting back together with Winston. "Why aren't you interested in rekindling your romance?" Michael noticed her indifference.Millie closed her eyes and was relieved that he un

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
