"Of course. I'll call you back after I land." Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in Millie's ear. Her eyes flickered open, and she spotted Winston, who had just gotten off a call.

She stared at him wordlessly. What a small world!

Winston wasn't surprised to run into Millie on the flight, which was the earliest flight back home.

Millie regretted not buying an economy-class seat. Meanwhile, Marvin cleared his throat and looked out of the window.

"Hello, Ms. Caldwell," Eli greeted her with a nod.

She stared at her feet. "Hi."

Silence filled the air.

The sky was dark outside. Millie turned in her seat to avoid looking in Winston's direction. She was ready to fall asleep after the plane took off, but Winston and Eli would not stop discussing work beside her. It annoyed her to no end.

"You're noisy," she vented without taking a look at them.

Eli looked up. He immediately said to her, "I'm sorry."

Winston glanced at Millie's figure with an amused expression before going back to work

    Joanna looked in the same direction as Winston, but Millie was out of her sight by now. All she could see was a group of people walking away.Eli broke out in a cold sweat on Winston's behalf. Joanna had no idea that Winston had run into Millie in Musbane. Otherwise, she'd make a scene again!"We've been separated for a while. Let's have dinner together." Joanna took Winston's arm and purred, "I crave for the steak at Siren Club. I want to have dinner there with you."Winston nodded, as he also needed to have a talk with Joanna.Suddenly, he asked about Harriet, "Joanna, how's your mom doing?"Joanna grew furious upon hearing the question. "Win, did you know Millie abducted my mom? Mom was hanging by a rope on a tall building for a night! How could she do that to my mom?"Winston replied, "But your mom did the same to Millie.""I'll admit that my mom is in the wrong, but… but Millie can't do this to my mom!" Joanna looked angry when the topic was raised. She vowed to avenge Harr

    Millie stole another look at Kennedy, thinking, "Hm, he's pretty hot."Her phone chimed. It was a text from Rachel. "Have you landed? Wanna join me for some drinks?""Sure!" Millie replied before closing her phone. Then, she whispered to Terrence, "Dad?""What is it?" Despite being interrupted, Terrence didn't seem irked."Rachel invited me to hang out. Drop me off in front." Millie pointed toward the front. Terrence replied, "Okay."Before she left, she nodded at Kennedy, "Mr. Sullivan, happy working with my dad. See you again when I have the chance."Smiling, he answered, "Yeah. See you again."Millie shut the car door and skipped her way to meet with Rachel. Unbeknownst to her, Kennedy, who had hesitated to cooperate with the Caldwell Group, finally gave the green light.…Millie changed into a black dress at the bar and casually put her hair up with a claw clip. Her elegant nape was on full display.She ordered a glass of wine and searched for Rachel in the crowd. She s

    Millie quickly helped Rachel up. Soon, a few men surrounded them.A man with short hair barked at Millie, "Hey, take your hands off her."With a glance, she immediately knew they were responsible for spiking Rachel's drink."She's my friend. I'm taking her with me," Millie announced.The men exchanged looks and grinned. She must be foolish to believe she could leave with a woman they had set their eyes on."You'd better behave. Do not press our buttons." A man neared Millie and glowered at her.A bald man pointed at Millie while stroking her chin. "This one looks pretty too. Why don't we take her with us as well?"She narrowed her eyes.The man in the lead chuckled loudly. "She is. Let's bring her along."Millie rolled her fist. "I'll repeat one more time—get out of my way."However, they ignored her warning and went up to snatch the two ladies. Amid a wave of dizziness, Rachel felt someone grabbing her arm.Millie immediately swatted the hand away. "Don't touch her!"She p

    Winston waved at Seth and said coldly, "You'd better not tell me who your dad is.""My dad is—" The words were about to come out of Seth's mouth when Winston warned him, "Are you sure about this?"If Seth revealed his dad's identity, Winston would make sure to bankrupt his business.Seth opened his mouth, but someone cautioned him, "Seth, that looks like Winston Greer, the CEO of Greer Group who has a chokehold on Yerwick's economy. Don't get on his bad side…"Seth immediately toned down. He scrutinized Winston nervously. How could this be Winston Greer?"Bring them away." Winston glanced at the bar owner. "Do not let in any Tom, Dick, or Harry next time."The owner immediately replied, "Yes, Mr. Greer!""What's wrong with her?" Jake's voice echoed in the air. Millie looked behind Winston and saw Jake leaning on the couch and studying Rachel.Millie hurriedly walked around Winston and shoved Jake out of the way. She helped Rachel up.Rachel pressed her body against Millie's.

    When Millie returned with a glass of water, she found Rachel resting her head on Jake's shoulder.Jake croaked, "Millie, I'll send both of you home."Millie frowned at him, but she missed the hickey on Jake's neck due to the poor lighting in the bar."We're good." Millie tried to pull Rachel out of Jake's arms, but Rachel refused to let go, much to Millie's surprise."Rachel!" Millie called to her again and placed the glass of iced water against Rachel's face.Rachel's eyes fluttered open. Sniffling, she answered weakly, "Yeah.""I'll send you home. Now, let go of Jake." Rachel was giving her a headache."No. I want to hug him a while more," Rachel protested, her head hung low.Millie looked puzzled. What had just happened during her absence? She shot a look at Jake, hinting at him to come clean.Rachel was fine when Millie left for water, but why did she suddenly hang onto Jake when Millie returned?Jake cleared his throat with a look of guilt. He dared not tell Millie he ha

    For some reason, Jake spiraled out of control, triggered by Rachel's kiss. The fact that bothered him the most was he loved that feeling.How perplexing.…The next morning, Millie was woken up from her sleep when Rachel freaked out and shrieked by her side.Millie groggily opened her eyes and glanced at her friend before turning on her side and going back to sleep.Rachel's phone was ringing again. It was a call from her manager, Laura.She frantically mumbled, "I'm dead meat."Millie finally sat up in bed. What was wrong? She checked Rachel's phone and gasped when she saw the headline. "A-List Actress and CEO in Hot New Scandal! Spotted Heading Back to Her Place and Hung Out All Night!"Rachel sat on the bed with a vacant look. "Mills, what did I do last night?"Millie also wanted an answer to that question. It seemed that the media had it. They captured photos of Rachel and Jake passionately making out at the restroom entrance.Millie was shocked to find out about it. It

    Millie found Rachel's reaction amusing. Clearly, Rachel had nothing but contempt for Jake.Right now, Rachel hated herself more than she hated Jake. Sitting in a corner, clutching her hair, she wore a puzzled and angry look as if an internal battle raged within her."Why would I kiss Jake Webson? Why him, out of everyone at the bar? This is so embarrassing! Why did it have to be Jake?"Millie gave Rachel a pat on the shoulder. Rachel let out a sigh.This time, Millie's phone rang. Jake had called. Millie showed Rachel her phone screen. "Yo, your alleged boyfriend is calling me."Rachel turned her face away. The mention of Jake embarrassed her because she had made the first move on him last night! Damn it!Jake spoke calmly on the line, "Millie, are you beside Rachel now?""I am." Staring at Rachel, Millie said, "Rach just talked to Laura. Her company called you, didn't they?""Yes," he replied sternly, "They told me to either deny the rumors or admit to the relationship. I'm

    Millie and Rachel's phone chimed at the same time from a push notification."Jake Webson has issued a statement: I am the animal in the video. My apologies for taking up the attention. As a long-time admirer of Ms. Shaw, I lost control of myself and kissed her when I was drunk last night. I hereby apologize to Ms. Shaw, who was innocent in this incident. "Ms. Shaw, as a woman, has more to lose in this scandal. I hope the public moves on from this scandal and restores her reputation."They both looked up, seemingly conflicted after reading Jake's clarification.Rachel was surprised at Jake's willingness to shoulder the blame. In his statement, he never once criticized her. Not only that, he cleared her name and requested the public to move on from the scandal.She lowered her gaze once more. Her lashes were trembling.Jake called Millie at that time, and she put his call on speaker mode. He sounded calm. "Let's resolve the scandal in this way. Rachel, you don't have to make any

    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
