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!

With a smile, Millie responded, "Aren't you a herbal researcher? You probably have a better idea of the price. Just go ahead and name it."But Paxton clearly didn't want to. Millie figured he was afraid of lowballing himself. So, she raised her hand and held up three fingers."300 thousand dollars? Sure," Paxton agreed without hesitation.Millie coughed in surprise. 300 thousand dollars? He agreed to 300 thousand dollars just like that? Did he have any clue about the market price?Paxton noticed her reaction right after he spoke. Did he offer too low a price? Was she expecting three million dollars?"Uh, I was just joking." Paxton hurriedly waved. He quickly salvaged his reputation by adding, "The Aspher is such a valuable herb. How could I possibly sell it for 300 thousand dollars? Three million sounds more like it."However, Millie narrowed her eyes suspiciously. Could this be a counterfeit herb he stole? "Open it up. I need to check it," she said bluntly.Paxton eagerly bro

Back at M Base, Millie ran another check on the Aspher. Once she confirmed that everything was in order, she repackaged it and uploaded the data and photos to the M system. Marvin observed as she worked through each step. Yvonne, on the other hand, rested her chin on her hand, watching intently. "Boss, what's the Aspher for?""My grandfather wants to give it to my grandmother," Millie answered.Yvonne tilted her head and exclaimed, "Wow, Mr. Caldwell Senior is so romantic! The Aspher is truly beautiful!"Her words got a chuckle out of Millie. "Romantic? Do you think it's because of how pretty it is? To Grandma, it's just another medicinal ingredient."Arthur knew Layla needed the Aspher, so he went out of his way to get it for her. That was just how the Caldwell men were. They would always find ways to spoil their wives.The blue smart screen flashed "Import Successful". Millie snapped her fingers, indicating that the job was done. "I'm taking the Aspher home now," Millie anno
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 410
Layla's lack of interest was obvious, and Arthur couldn't help but feel disheartened. Thus, Millie could only help her grandfather. She chimed in, "Grandma, it's a rare herb, you know."Upon hearing those words, Layla narrowed her eyes. A herb? If it was an herb, then she was definitely interested. Arthur sighed and commented, "See that, Mills? Your grandmother is more interested in herbs than anything else. Even more than me!"Millie chuckled as she grabbed a bag of chips. The moment Layla learned that it was an herb, she began carefully unwrapping the box. She slowly peeled away the layers of wrapping. As soon as the box opened and the Aspher came into view, her eyes lit up with joy. Layla looked up at Millie, then at Arthur. She was so overwhelmed with excitement that she struggled to find the words.Was it Aspher? Did Millie and Arthur really get her the rare herb?"Is this really Aspher?" Layla asked in disbelief. Millie nodded firmly. That was indeed Aspher. "Gran

Layla was about to answer the female researcher's question when her gaze fell on Millie. "Professor Cadmore, why did you bring an irrelevant person into the lab?""What do you mean by irrelevant? This is my granddaughter!" Layla snapped, her displeasure evident in her tone. The researcher sized Millie up with hostility. Despite that, Millie wasn't bothered by her look. She was indeed an outsider, after all. "Naomi, this is my granddaughter. She's not an outsider," Layla repeated. Naomie Jaeger was an important figure in the lab. However, her arrogance often rubbed people the wrong way. She looked down on others and considered herself superior. Yet, the rarity of such talent meant that Layla and the team had to put up with her. She was an outstanding researcher selected from a hundred candidates. Despite her flaws, her skills were undeniable.Naomi couldn't be bothered with that. She then said, "Professor Cadmore, I've been in this lab for many years. There's something I nee
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 412
Naomi swallowed hard and asked from behind, "Aspher?"Millie smiled. Naomi was a tough woman to handle.She hooked her arm around Layla's, her confusion evident as she asked, "Grandma, if she wants to leave, why not just let her go? The lab can just manage fine without her."Layla sighed. "What do you mean 'let her go'? She was just venting. Did you really think she meant it? It's true that our research hasn't made any progress in years, so it's only natural that everyone's feeling frustrated."Naomi may be arrogant, but she's not a bad person. I just need to persuade her, and she'll stay."Millie glanced at Layla's face. Despite being 70, she was still as strong-willed and spirited as ever. She didn't look her age at all, more like someone in her 50s. Her posture was impeccable. While her skin had started to sag a little, it didn't diminish her looks. Millie couldn't help but think that Layla was tough on the outside but had a heart of gold. If it were up to Millie, she would

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
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 1029
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
