"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

    Millie's vigorous movements continued to cause the bell on the rope to ring. The man below appeared to have noticed, as he repeatedly shone his dim flashlight upwards.She lowered her head and peered down. The car's light faintly illuminated the man's body. A flicker of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she hesitated. That man…"Boss, I saw it! It's Winston!" the lackey behind them said suddenly.Millie immediately looked back, her eyes brimming with disbelief. Did Winston truly come?"Wow! What a surprise!" Michael suddenly laughed.He clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Ms. Caldwell, look, the person you least want to see is here. How wonderful, truly wonderful!"Then, he turned toward the lackey and instructed, "Go and inform him that his partner is here."The lackey nodded and quickly ran downstairs.Millie peered down, the chair legs dangling over the edge, and it seemed that Winston had also caught sight of her. He shouted, "Millie!"Her heart skipped a beat. It was indeed

    Michael was stunned for a moment, then straightened his clothes and asked, "Did I guess wrong?"This seemed impossible. He wouldn't be wrong. Wasn't Millie's behavior driven by her concern that Winston would be involved?Millie stared at Winston with teary eyes and exclaimed, "It was the Lowell family who did it! It was Joanna! Your unforgettable first love hired someone to kill me multiple times. Winston, you condoned this."If Winston had not continuously been partial toward Joanna, she wouldn't have been able to repeatedly attack her."Millie, this has nothing to do with Joanna," Winston said nervously.Eli conducted a thorough investigation and confirmed that Joanna wasn't responsible for it.Millie's heart throbbed with a piercing ache upon hearing those words. Her hair danced in the breeze as she sneered. "Are you defending Joanna because you love her? Do you think it's okay for her to kill me one day?"Winston was at a loss for words.Michael blinked and exclaimed silent

    Millie's body abruptly froze, and then she started to fall."Millie!" Winston shouted, reaching out and swiftly grabbing the rope.She hung off the wall as Winston's body was pulled down by the rope until it stopped at the edge. Gasping for breath, she looked up at him in panic."Don't be scared," he reassured her.Millie witnessed his hands tightening and pulling the rope upwards. With each tug, her heart ached even more. Why did he insist on saving her? Slowly, she was being pulled back. However, Michael stepped onto Winston's back. Involuntarily, his grip loosened. Millie fell once more while he was forcefully propelled forward.The sirens were blaring below, and red and blue lights reflected in the air. Winston pulled harder, ignoring Michael's foot on him, and helped Millie up. Winston's hands were already injured, and his shirt was ripped from rubbing against the floor. His arms scraped repeatedly against the platform and the concrete floor, causing blood to drip onto Mi

    Winston covered his arm and slowly stood up. As he reached out to help Millie, he spotted a man with a dagger going in for an attack. With a frown, he instantly pulled Millie toward him, using all his strength to shield her from the attack. The dagger grazed Winston's shoulder, piercing his shirt.This time, Millie clearly observed the blood dripping down his shoulder. She then gazed at Winston, her smile tender and radiant. She held him firmly, her eyes void of any sign of pain. Her smile was incredibly captivating, radiating such beauty that it seemed as though it could shatter at any moment. It was hard to understand. The air filled with shouts as everyone rushed forward eagerly.Millie whispered, her voice so gentle that it seemed to be carried away by the wind. "You owed me a life. Now we're even."After uttering those words, she fainted. Winston didn't catch the first part of the sentence, only the second part. "Now, we are even." He didn't understand what she meant.

    The car was parked in front of the Caldwell residence. Eli took out the items and silently handed them to Winston. He wanted to see if Winston could help escort the two elderly people to the door."No need to accompany me any further. Let's leave it here," Layla insisted, maintaining her refusal.She always maintained a sense of propriety, even in how she addressed Winston.Winston found Layla harder to impress than Millie."Grandma, let me help you take it inside. It's not far. I'll just go in and come right out. I won't stay long," Winston said with a smile.Layla was about to speak. Arthur nudged her arm, suggesting she let it go, as she had been bothered enough already.Layla remained silent for a moment before nodding.Winston was given permission, and he immediately followed the two elderly people into the Caldwell residence with the items.Eli sighed and couldn't help but take a video of Winston, feeling really humbled.It was really hard to believe this was Winston.W

    "The shop shutting down for rectifications is necessary. If she keeps up this attitude, there's no point in having the store here. You all should remove her from this place," Layla said, intending to rid Clara of a job.When Clara heard it, her face turned pale. However, she didn't dare to speak at the moment, fearing that the more she said, the more mistakes she might make.These people all seemed to be important figures!"Alright!" Bernard clapped his hands and agreed, "Professor Cadmore, we agree. If she doesn't give the proper compensation, we will definitely fire her!"Arthur supported Layla and gently patted her back, gesturing for her to calm down and not be upset anymore.Layla had finally started to calm down a bit. She had actually become much more mellow with her temper. In the past, whether in the lab or outside, she was always decisive and assertive.This was also why Arthur had been obedient all these years. He would always go along with her."Hurry up, apologize t

    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
