Chapter 330

Author: Gina Cinq
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

    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

    After thanking Vanessa, Winston hung up. The second the elevator doors opened, he strode out, with Eli following right behind. "Mr. Greer, I'll accompany you." Winston glanced at Eli, his voice tinged with reproach. "Why wasn't my phone with you?""Mr. Greer, your phone died, so I…" Eli looked apologetic. Winston didn't respond. Instead, he quickly got into the car and drove away. Eli stood rooted to the spot, letting out a deep sigh. He hoped Millie was okay. However, Winston's reaction when he learned that she was in danger seemed to suggest that he still cared about her.…Upon entering the police station, Winston saw Julia sitting on a bench in the lobby, her eyes brimming with tears. Julia seemed somewhat surprised when she caught sight of Winston. He approached Julia but was momentarily at a loss for words. After a brief silence, he greeted in a low voice, "Mrs. Caldwell."Then, he asked, "Are they handling Millie's case?"Despite her dislike for Winston, Julia k

    Winston called Joanna right after the meeting. She answered the phone and started crying. "Win, you finally called me. I thought you would never contact me again."Winston lowered his gaze and ran his hand through his hair, his expression reflecting a mix of emotions. He hadn't contacted Joanna since her proposal. He thought it would be best for them and Gloria to have some time to calm down."Joanna, I have something important to ask you, and I need you to answer me honestly," Winston said seriously.Joanna replied immediately, "Alright, Win, go ahead and ask. I'll answer you truthfully."Winston frowned and lowered his voice. "Did you hire someone to kidnap Millie?"Joanna was shocked when she heard this. She couldn't believe that he actually asked her this question. Previously, he always asked Millie if she had done anything to her.Joanna burst into tears abruptly and asked in a distressed tone, "Do you really think of me that way? Do I have to hurt Millie if I can't be wit

    "Mr. Greer, are you okay?" someone asked in a hushed tone.Winston shook his head as he approached the meeting room. He overheard the police commissioner say, "There are many abandoned buildings in the vicinity. We shall begin our search with the abandoned buildings. "There's a possibility that she might have been taken there. Please ensure everyone's phones are turned on and accessible at all times. The kidnappers might contact us.""Abandoned buildings," Winston repeated softly. Many buildings in Crestborne were incomplete, and it was known as a dangerous place where kidnappers often go. He heard that people often get killed there. After calling Eli, Winston left the police station and drove away.Terrence and Julia couldn't do much at the police station, so the police commissioner urged them to return and rest. Upon exiting, they discovered that Winston was nowhere to be seen. Julia couldn't help but chuckle and remark, "Just moments ago, he promised to help us in locating

    At 2:00 am, the city started to get quieter. In the silence, faint sirens could be heard.Millie's body was rigid as she was bound, and Michael, next to her, appeared sleepy. Meanwhile, a few lackeys were playing games and cursing.She was feeling very uncomfortable. She moved her body, catching the attention of some lackeys who asked, "What are you doing?"Michael woke up and looked at the time, then at Millie. She frowned and signaled for him to remove the tape.He was displeased. "I just don't like kidnapping women. This is so troublesome!" Women were a handful.However, despite this, he went ahead and removed the tape for her.Michael asked, "What do you want?""I feel uncomfortable," replied Millie."Could you please allow me to adjust my position?" Her voice was frail and delicate. She felt extremely unwell while being tied up like this."Why are you being such a bother? Let me bring you some water." Michael grumbled as he went to fetch some water. He approached Millie a

    Millie tilted her head and clenched her hands into fists. "You can choose to work for me.""You're just a lady from a prominent family. What can I do for you? Carry your bag? What I aspire to become is a leader. A leader who can issue commands and maintain control, a leader who can kill decisively, do you understand? Why should I work for a woman like you?" Michael stood up angrily.He turned and declared, "In this life, there's only one person for whom I'll work faithfully and respectfully."Millie reluctantly looked up at him. He smiled and said, "Even if I tell you, you may not know the person."She bit her lip and replied, "Tell me about it." As "M", she was well-versed in the secrets of the underworld."Have you heard of M?" he asked.Millie was at a loss for words."Do you even have a clue who M is, my dear lady? Oh well, never mind. I won't talk to you anymore." He turned away, sounding very disappointed."I've heard of M," replied Millie.Michael snorted. "Then do you

    The sky gradually brightened. Millie was exhausted, dozing off. However, the sun's rays kept breaking through, startling her awake each time. As the sun finally emerged, she glanced back to see Michael, who was already sound asleep.Millie struggled to untie the rope, but each time she loosened it, the chair would send her falling. The truth was, this was no ordinary knot. Even though she was M, she couldn't do much. She refused to resign herself to this situation. Relying on others to come to her aid and putting her life in their hands seemed utterly foolish.She shifted restlessly in her chair, causing the bell attached to the rope behind it to jingle. The sound roused the several kidnappers from their sleep. As they rubbed their eyes and let out a collective yawn, a wave of discontent filled the air. "Why are you shaking the chair? What are you doing again?" Michael walked over furiously.He ripped off the tape from Millie's mouth, and the pain made her unable to speak. She

    "I was truly too kind to you," Michael said.Millie warned, "If we continue to waste time like this, you'll also suffer a dire consequence.""I told you I'd take you with me, even if I die!" It was enjoyable to have such a beautiful person to die with.Suddenly, an idea sparked in his mind, causing a mischievous smile to spread across his face. "How about this?"Millie sensed a hint of malicious intent behind his smile."Why don't you contact Winston and inform him about your kidnapping? Let's see if he comes to your rescue."Her expression gradually turned icy. She didn't wish to involve Winston in the situation. "No way," she refused firmly."Are you sure you want to decline? This is your only chance. It would be such a shame to die." He raised her chin and gazed at her with a smile."Then you're underestimating the police." Millie looked into the distance. The sound of approaching sirens grew louder.He followed her gaze and realized the sirens were getting closer. He tight

    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
