In the following days, Joanna refrained from stirring up more trouble and stayed on track with her treatment. Winston visited her daily, while Millie continued to work as usual.

Every day, Millie would come home to hear Terrence grumbling about Kennedy's shipment. The whole circle was buzzing with talk about how Winston was putting Kennedy in his place and targeting him.

Faced with such aggression, Kennedy knew he had no choice but to fight back.

At a dinner gathering, Millie went to pick up her drunk father. As soon as she entered the private room, she noticed a few familiar faces.

"Millie, you're here." A senior figure waved at her.

Millie nodded in acknowledgment and glanced at the others. Winston, Jake, and the recently popular Kennedy were all there. Seeing them all at the same table caught her by surprise.

"I'm here to take my father home. He's had a bit too much to drink," Millie explained with a gracious smile.

It was early October, so the mornings and evenings in Ye

    Winston narrowed his eyes. It turned out Kennedy knew that Millie was his ex-wife. Then why was he trying so hard to get close to Millie?"Mr. Greer, when will you release my cargo?" Kennedy pursed his lips, his gaze ominous.Winston sized him up. It was as if he was trying to see through Kennedy's intentions. "William's goods are banned in Yerwick. This is a straightforward rule. But Mr. Sullivan, since you insist on importing them, don't expect any leniency from me." Winston's voice was low and laden with authority. Kennedy scowled, his eyes full of provocation as he taunted, "Mr. Greer, is this all you're capable of?""It's more than enough for dealing with you," Winston retorted with a mocking smile.Kennedy immediately took a step forward, while his expression betrayed a hint of agitation. Winston shot him an icy sideways glance and said coldly, "Kennedy, if you're trying to use the Caldwells to threaten me, I suggest you give up on that idea now."After all, the Caldwe

    Winston tightened his grip on his phone and looked up at Caldwell Villa. He stared at the place for a long while before driving away.In the end, he still didn't respond to the designer's text.…When Millie went downstairs for breakfast the next morning, she heard Julia say, "I saw Winston when I came home last night."Millie, calmly eating her breakfast, asked, "Where?""In front of our house." Julia had just finished work when Winston left. She found it odd that he would pass by their villa, so she checked the surveillance footage and saw that his car had been parked at their entrance for nearly half an hour. "Oh," Millie responded simply."Everyone's saying he's about to get engaged to the Lowells' daughter." Julia sipped her coffee and looked at Millie. However, her daughter was unfazed. She continued to eat her sandwich while scrolling through her phone. "Best wishes to them," she replied dismissively.Whether Winston got engaged to Joanna or not was irrelevant to

    Millie pointed at the white dress before her. "This dress—" Right then, she overheard a familiar voice by the office door. "In fact, I really like that white dress outside too. If we're short on time, that one will do. It's this—"As the person spoke, they emerged from the office. Millie glanced up, meeting their startled gaze."Millie?"Millie narrowed her eyes. Who else could it be but Joanna? It really was a small world. She couldn't even pick out a gown without running into Joanna.Joanna raised an eyebrow, then broke into a smile. If Millie was at the boutique at this time, it could only mean… "Are you here to find a dress for the cruise party?" she asked.Millie pressed her lips together and calmly answered, "Yes.""What a coincidence! I'll be there too," Joanna replied, crinkling her eyes slightly, a gesture that only made her look even more beautiful.Millie nodded. She wasn't surprised at all. After all, the cruise party was the kind of event that wealthy families

    Joanna froze, staring in disbelief at her hand, which Leah had pushed away. She couldn't believe that Leah had shoved her aside and rushed over to Millie. Just moments ago, Leah had been so welcoming in her office. Joanna looked up, only to see Leah circling Millie."Oh my, Millie! This is my first time meeting you, and you're gorgeous!" Leah praised with a smile.She continued, "I'd heard from your mother that you had a model's figure, but I thought she was exaggerating. Now that I see you, I'm truly impressed!"Designing clothes for someone like you will be effortless. You'd look amazing in anything! Let's get your measurements. I already have some ideas that will make you the center of attention!" Leah's flood of compliments left Millie blushing and unable to respond. Behind them, Joanna's face turned pale as she watched Leah fawn over Millie. Joanna chuckled wryly and asked, "Leah, didn't you say you weren't taking on any new clients?"Leah turned around and laughed heart

    Stunned, Joanna could only retreat a few steps."Mr. Greer," Leah greeted with a nod. Right then, Winston's gaze fell on Millie. He was somewhat surprised to see her there. Was she there to choose a gown for the cruise party?Millie, however, merely glanced at him and chose not to say hello."Have you taken the measurements?" Winston asked as he approached Leah. Leah smiled and pointed to a nearby couch, suggesting that everyone take a seat. As she walked, she replied, "Yes, I've taken Ms. Lowell's measurements and determined her preferred style."Then, she asked, "Mr. Greer, should your suit be designed to match her gown?"Millie settled into the armchair, casually crossed her legs, and leaned back. She then texted Rachel. Millie: "Can you believe it? I can't even shop for a gown without running into my ex and that pretentious bitch. This is so frustrating!"Rachel: "The world is so small. Let's hope they vanish."Millie's lips curved into a faint smile as she read the re

    Joanna couldn't help but glance at Winston, swallowing the words on the tip of her tongue.Having already put on her sunglasses and bid Leah goodbye, Millie cast one last look at the couple after hearing Winston's response. Despite Joanna's firm belief in their love, she wasn't as happy as she had hoped. Winston seemed less caring toward her than he had been in the past.After Millie left, Winston and Joanna followed suit. When they came out of the store, Joanna stood by the car. Winston was puzzled as to why she wasn't getting in. "Joanna?" he called. Joanna, gripping the car door handle, fixed her gaze on Winston. Her eyes were filled with confusion as she asked, "Win, tell me the truth. Do you have feelings for me or not?""Not again, Joanna." Winston found it frustrating that she kept asking the same question and always brought up how she had once saved him. Joanna pressed further, "Why didn't you ask them to send my gown along with yours? I could just come by your place

    "Why do you need the herb?" Winston asked."I just heard it's very rare, so I want to collect it. What if it comes in handy later? Like the Snowdrop last time…"Mentioning the Snowdrop made Joanna sigh. She would never forget about that incident. Millie had really humiliated her. "I still need it, so I can't give it to you," Winston refused outright. Joanna was displeased. "Didn't you say you weren't giving it to William anymore? So why can't I have it? Win, it's just a herb. If it's about money, I can pay for it.""It's not about the money." Winston turned her down again. He couldn't give her the Aspher, no matter what."Are you planning to give it to someone else?" Joanna asked, puzzled. Winston wasn't the type to hold onto things just for the sake of it. If he wasn't willing to give it to her, it meant he had use for it."Yes," Winston answered, choosing not to lie to Joanna.When she heard his response, she huffed. "Fine, everyone else is more important than me. Just gi

    Marvin showed Millie the text, and she was livid. Who the hell was this?"Boss, who do you think brought the Aspher to Musbane?" Marvin suddenly realized an important detail. Wasn't there only one person from Yerwick City who traveled to Musbane? They exchanged glances, and Millie suddenly exclaimed, "Winston!" Marvin snapped his fingers and said, "That's right! Who else but Winston?""But at that time, the Aspher was missing. William didn't manage to win the auction for it. Could someone else have won the bid? Maybe this person is rushing to sell it because they need quick cash?" Millie asked.Marvin quickly shook his head. "No way. They said the price wasn't an issue." "Then it must be Winston." Millie unfastened her seatbelt and decided to meet him. She wanted to know what exactly he was up to. If he genuinely wanted to give her the Aspher, why not just hand it over? Why insist she pick it up in person?Did Winston want Millie to thank him face-to-face? What a hypocrite!

    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
