Eli knew that Joanna was completely flustered. She had audaciously tried to curry favor with him in front of Winston. She had truly lost her mind!

Eli forcefully shoved Joanna aside, while Winston watched on helplessly.

"Eli!" he called out, his voice tinged with reproach as he chided Eli for being too rough.

In an instant, Joanna burst into tears and cried, "Win—"

But before she could say more, Eli interrupted sharply, "Mr. Greer, Ms. Lowell has been lying to you."

"I didn't!" Joanna quickly protested.

Winston stared at her, his heart sinking. What could she have deceived him about?

"Win, it's not true, I swear! I love you. Everything I've done is because of my love for you!" Joanna grabbed Winston's arm and pleaded, "Believe me, please."

Winston was baffled. What were they talking about? Why was Joanna so worked up? He then held her hand and turned to Eli for answers.

Feeling Winston's hand in hers, Joanna was overwhelmed by a mix of sadness and fear.

    "I love you so much. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't be doing these foolish things!" Joanna moved closer to the bed. Her arm was scratched by the broken glass, and blood was slowly staining her sleeves.She couldn't hold on to Winston's arm, so she grasped the bedsheet firmly. With anguish in her voice, she exclaimed, "I'm the heiress of the Lowell family. If it weren't for my love for you, why would I choose to suffer in silence by your side?""Suffer in silence? Are you saying that you feel wronged?" Winston glared at her, his eyes full of doubt.Joanna bit her lower lip and couldn't help but sob. "Shouldn't I feel wronged?"Upon hearing this, Eli sneered. "Ms. Lowell, are you going to reveal to Mr. Greer the identity of the person who saved him, or should I do the honors?"Joanna trembled and glared at Eli. She wondered why he was doing this. Despite the chaos, he still wanted to cause her more trouble.Winston's chest was rising and falling heavily, his hands tightly clenche

    Millie had always been deeply in love with him.Winston couldn't help but burst out laughing bitterly. He had labeled so many people as foolish, including Millie. Yet, he never anticipated that the true fool at the end of it all was himself. He was the real idiot. Joanna's deceit in the name of love almost destroyed him.Suddenly, Winston burst out laughing. As his gaze returned to Joanna, his eyes gleamed with a chilling intent, their redness intensifying. "Joanna!"Joanna shook her head, and in the next instant, Winston grabbed her by the throat."There's nothing that can make up for your wrongdoing," he said in a low, menacing voice. Then he violently threw her to the floor on the broken glass. This time, nobody sympathized with her. Winston used to pretend to be concerned, but not anymore.As Winston gazed upon Joanna's back, his mind swiftly flashed back to the sight of Millie's striking scar. He had asked Millie many times about how she got the scar. Yet, she nonchalan

    Joanna refused to give up. She rushed toward Winston, and when he was about to open the door, she closed it firmly. She shook her head and cried loudly."Don't you feel sorry for me at all, Winston? I've been with you for so many years. If I didn't do this, you'd never see my good side." Joanna's tears were filled with despair.Winston no longer felt affected by her emotions. He couldn't empathize with Joanna despite her having loved him for many years. He believed that she was the reason his life was a mess. He saw her love as selfish and unreasonable. He doubted if he needed that kind of love and believed she was just trying to make herself look good."I tried to save you as well, but I was too slow," she said, tears streaming down her face. She yearned to surpass Millie but always found herself trailing behind when it came to Winston.Back then, there was a rumor in the School of Medicine that Winston and Millie were meant to be together forever. Joanna was upset about it unti

    The rain hit the car window relentlessly, intensifying Winston's irritation."Where is she? Hurry!" Winston's voice was slightly muffled, with a hint of hoarseness.Eli turned around and replied with concern, "Ms. Caldwell is currently at the airport.""Airport?" Winston was surprised.Eli glanced at the time, realizing the plane would depart in just an hour. They might not be able to catch up. "Mr. Greer, Ms. Caldwell is devastated. She's leaving to study abroad."He went to the ward intending to take Winston to see Millie directly. Upon discovering Joanna there, he seized the opportunity to disclose the truth, resulting in a slight delay.Winston felt increasingly anxious after hearing it. Recognizing the urgency, he quickly opened the car door and hurried out."Mr. Greer?" Eli frowned and stepped out of the car too.The rain poured down, its relentless drops beating against Winston as he made his way around the front of the car. Then, he pushed Eli aside to get in.Eli was

    Winston was getting more and more anxious as he drove toward the airport. Despite knowing it was not far, he couldn't seem to reach it. As Millie's departure time approached, he realized that he was still nowhere near the airport.Winston's emotions swelled, and he reached for the phone once more. The relentless rain outside seemed to mock him, as if it was aware that he had done something wrong and was now punishing him. He didn't receive a response to his text message, nor did he receive a callback. Winston called again but received a reply saying that the number was no longer in service. She was truly determined to leave and had even canceled her number. He couldn't believe it. Millie had kept that number since high school, and the very first number she saved in her phone was Winston's.At that time, she was still young. She sat in front of him and said with a smile, "Remember this, Win. This is my number.""I don't want to keep memorizing the phone number since it's frequent

    Winston was greatly annoyed. As he reached for a cigarette, Millie's ID card unexpectedly fell out of the compartment. He was stunned.He saw the dropped ID card and felt a surge of emotions. With trembling hands, Winston picked up Millie's ID and felt even sadder when looking at her photo.Why did he hide her ID? Probably to show that he still cared about her and he didn't want a divorce. But why did he both care about Millie and hurt her at the same time? He shook his head, unable to forgive himself.Should he ask Millie to forgive him or just apologize when he saw her? Could a simple apology make up for the harm he did to Millie?She used to be so kind. Winston was suddenly overcome with a sense of numbness. As the rain drenched him, he held up Millie's ID, and the feeling of loss overwhelmed him.Winston's phone abruptly began to ring. He instinctively picked it up, expecting Millie's call. However, upon seeing Eli's name on the screen, he couldn't help but feel disappointe

    Eli let out a sigh and urged the driver to drive faster.After Winston withdrew his hand, he rolled up the car window. As the car slowly grew warmer, the coldness in Winston's heart began to spread through his body, as if it were ready to consume him. From initially avoiding her to now deeply regretting it, he unjustly blamed Millie and failed her over the past three years.Winston gazed out the window, his bloodshot eyes and silence speaking volumes of his repentance. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to marry Joanna, who had deceived him for three years. It was clear that Millie was the one who had truly saved him, and it was she who deserved all his gratitude. The very idea made Winston clench his fists in regret.After a while, they reached the airport. The scene beside the lines of taxis outside was very eye-catching. Some were rushing with their luggage and umbrellas, while others hurriedly boarded taxis in the rain. Some embraced each other, while some quietly w

    Millie was surprised to see Sean and asked, "Where's Marvin?""Marvin saw a beautiful girl and decided to approach her for a chat," he replied.Millie sneered. Marvin wasn't the type of person to leave on his own. It had to be Sean's doing. Sean mentioned that he had to travel abroad for something and suggested taking the same flight. Hence, he was waiting to board with Millie at that moment.Millie felt warmer in her heart after sipping hot coffee.Sean wore a black suit and black trench coat, looking handsome next to Millie. She thought about how Winston used to dress the same way in university every autumn and winter. His choice of outfit never failed to captivate the hearts of young women. Winston hardly returned to the villa, but his wardrobe was stocked with such outfits. They were incredibly stylish and truly exquisite. Surely, Sean was not to be underestimated, either. Sometimes, Millie truly felt that it was unfair of God to create these men so good-looking and afflu

    Soon, it was New Year's Eve. Yerwick City didn't have a ban on fireworks, so the neighborhood had been lively since early in the day.Arthur wanted to hang some lights to bring more festive spirit into the house. However, when he looked at the high places where he needed to hang them, he felt like he just couldn't manage it.Just as Thomas and Everly arrived outside the door, he called out to them, "Hurry and hang up these lights.""Oh dear, be careful not to fall at this age." Thomas quickly took the string of lights from Arthur's hands.Arthur replied, "I was just waiting for you all!"Everly joked, "Grandpa, are you upset that we arrived late?""Hmph! You weren't early enough. Millie hasn't even shown up yet!"But as soon as he finished speaking, Millie walked in holding some things. "Grandpa, I heard you talking about me from far away, and I've sneezed several times because of it," she said with a slight smile, her voice bright and cheerful.The group turned their attention

    At that moment, a cold snort came from the staircase.Arthur looked up. Wasn't that Layla standing there?Layla walked downstairs, her tone sounding incredulous as she said, "Is this guy really willing to go to such lengths to get what he wants? He even had the nerve to say something like that?""When pursuing someone you like, there's nothing you wouldn't do, no matter how embarrassing. Back when I was trying to win you over, didn't I wait for you outside your house every day?" The thought brought Arthur a sense of sorrow.The Cadmores were a medical family, and Arthur was a businessman. Even though he also made a fortune in the medical field, the Cadmore family wasn't willing for the two of them to be together. They just wanted Layla to marry someone who was also studying medicine.Believe it or not, back then, there really was another medical student as her suitor. The Cadmore family liked them, and outsiders also thought they were a good match.In the end, the persistent suit

    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
