Joanna gazed out the window, and suddenly, there was another roar of thunder. The flash of lightning looked like it was about to split the sky open.She drew a sharp breath, saying, "This is terrifying."Winston looked up, a sense of unease settling in his heart.Despite the pouring rain, he could vaguely see Millie slumped over the steering wheel when his car passed by her vehicle. Even after a long while, Millie's car remained stationary. Slumping over the steering wheel, Millie pressed both hands firmly on her ears, attempting to block out the thunder. But for some reason, it was as if the thunder was aware of her fear and roared louder to mock her.When she lifted her head again, her face was pale.Millie pulled a blanket from the backseat to wrap it tightly around herself. The windshield wipers continued moving steadily as she curled into a ball, trying to find solace. Usually, Yerwick should have been bustling with the start of nightlife at 1:00 am. Yet, the rain h

Millie's thoughts were muddled. Hence, she did not notice that Winston was following her.Simon stepped on the accelerator, hoping to leave Winston in the dust. However, the latter sped up, too. As the cars reached the overpass, rain pounded on the windows.Right then, Millie inadvertently spotted Winston's car in the rearview mirror. There was a pause before she turned back to look. "Winston is following us," said Simon. What was he doing there? Wasn't he supposed to take Joanna home?Millie thought about it for a moment, then answered, "Maybe he's just going the same way."But Simon did not think so. He could tell Winston was not going the same way from his accelerating. The two cars raced on the overpass. Winston, with his impressive driving skills, would intermittently find himself side by side with Simon. As Millie looked at Winston's vehicle, she felt a myriad of emotions swirling within her.If he was indeed following them, did that mean he cared about her, even j

Later, Millie had no choice but to call Terence.The man who had insisted on severing ties with her braved the storm and rushed to the villa to keep her company. The next morning, Terence cooked spaghetti bolognese for Millie, too. However, Millie ended up having a heated argument with Terence because he had spoken ill of Winston. In the end, the spaghetti was sent flying everywhere.At that thought, tears welled up in Millie's eyes. She had done nothing wrong to Winston and others but had let her family down. "Why are you crying? Is the spaghetti that good?" Terence took a bite, smacking his lips. "They're alright. They taste just the same! But there's no need to cry over pasta."Millie ignored him. Her head hung low as tears would not stop flowing. Sensing something amiss, Terence hurried to her side and asked, "What's the matter?"Millie raised her head. Her eyes glistened with tears, evoking a sense of pity. She could only reveal her vulnerable side before her family.

Joanna's mouth twitched slightly. There was a hint of unease was evident in her expression."Millie wants to meet M, too?" she wondered."Ms. Lowell, you're really well-connected. You can even meet someone like M. Unlike me, I can only hear stories about him…" Millie remarked, wearing an expression that showed her longing to meet M. Joanna scoffed. Of course, she could meet M. She was the daughter of the Lowell family. Anything she wanted was just a snap of the fingers away. "Although my family is powerful, we can't compare to the Four Great Families. We're still nowhere near your level. Since we're good friends, why not let me broaden my horizons?"Millie would not stop belittling the Caldwells.Joanna raised an eyebrow. Being admired by others was her weakness. She loved the feeling of being worshiped, especially when the person before her was Millie. "I'll have to ask M first," Joanna responded. Millie immediately questioned, "Considering how close you are with M, is it

Millie's words elicited a chuckle from Joanna. "Millie, you're quite strange, aren't you? After all, I'm Win's next wife. Yet, here you are, calmly chatting with me."Joanna could not help but burst into laughter.Millie rubbed her nose, thinking that Joanna was a fool. Of course, she was sitting there to enjoy the spectacle.Putting on an aggrieved expression, Millie responded, "What else can I do? With your cunning ways, I can't possibly outwit you, Ms. Lowell.""It's not that you can't outwit me. It's just that Winston's not backing you up," Joanna countered.With Winston supporting Joanna, she had been able to get away with her antics all these years.Millie never liked it when Joanna spoke. However, she silently acknowledged the truth behind her comment.Millie lowered her head.The corners of Joanna's lips curled into a smirk. She felt satisfied. "What's wrong? Did I hit a nerve? Honestly, I'm curious, Millie. Since Winston doesn't love you, how did you manage to hold o

Joanna's face turned ashen in an instant.Did M block her? She was Joanna Lowell! How could he do that to her?She attempted to send messages to M, but there was only one tick. Every time she tried, her phone froze up.What was happening?Millie, on the other hand, was still looking at Joanna's phone. Seeing that, Joanna quickly turned her screen away, refusing to let Millie have another look.In the next second, Joanna called her assistant and asked, "Why can't I contact M?""Ms. Lowell, did you offend M?""What do you mean?" Joanna bit her lip.Her assistant explained, "Ms. Lowell, y-you've been blacklisted in the black market! M said that from now on, nobody can take your orders. If they do, they'd be in his bad books!"Joanna's face darkened after hearing that. What did this mean?"Ms. Lowell, this is bad… We won't be able to get the Snowdrop anymore."Joanna slumped onto the couch, completely in a daze.But she had not offended M! Wasn't it M who had been standing he

"You're impressive, sweetheart! I can't believe you found the Snowdrop!" Joanna's father exclaimed.Soon, Harriet's voice came through, "Jo, what does the Snowdrop look like? Quick, bring it home and show us!"Jo, our family is about to take things to the next level now! My friends have been calling me, too! They asked if they could see the Snowdrop!"A myriad of emotions flickered across Joanna's face, her hand slowly reaching up to massage her temples. Oh no, the situation seemed to be getting out of hand. What should she do now?Joanna put her phone on silent before tossing it aside. She looked around the empty private room and anger surged within her as she remembered being stood up twice in this very place."Damn it!" Joanna cursed. "Don't let me find out who this person is, or I'll tear them apart!"She rose, picked up her phone, and headed out. Her bodyguard approached. But when he saw that she was furious, he remained silent. As she reached the bar, Joanna was stopp

"Mrs. Greer Senior, we heard you love jewelry. So, we, the Xander family, are giving you a pair of white pearl earrings! We hope you'll accept them!""Mrs. Greer Senior, the Millers mustn't be left out. We've prepared an exquisite emerald bracelet for you!"Selma gazed at the group of middle-aged men before her, a glimmer of amusement in her eyes. The atmosphere was filled with joy and laughter. The butler collected the presents while noting down the names of the givers. Besides presenting gifts, the guests also showered Selma with well wishes, eagerly trying to make a good impression. Many had gone to great lengths to acquire jewelry for Selma's birthday party. Failing to leave an impression on her would be considered a great loss. Right then, someone suddenly asked, "I heard the Lowells will give the world's only Snowdrop to Mrs. Greer Senior. Is that true?"All eyes turned to the man in the corner. He was in his thirties, with a simple and earnest appearance. Under the

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

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

"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
