Jake was furious. The two looked at him, but no one said anything. He was very conflicted.

Sean looked at Winston and said, "It's hard to control feelings. I simply felt drawn to her and decided to pursue her. Even before becoming Winston's ex-wife, Millie is simply Millie."

Hence, he had every right to pursue her, even though he was Winston's friend.

"What about our friendship?" Jake cared about this the most. He wanted to know what would happen to their friendship now that Sean liked Millie.

Winston quickly replied, "I don't mind."

Jake was upset. He couldn't believe that Winston didn't care. In reality, Winston was actually very calculating. He definitely cared about it, even though he didn't always show it.

"Sean, you're right. Millie is my ex-wife, but she's also just Millie."

Therefore, Winston wasn't angry about Sean pursuing Millie. However, Jake was correct about their friendship, as it might inevitably become complicated.

"Let's play fair," Winston said, frowning at S

    "Excuse me, Mr. Webson and Ms. Shaw." Someone approached them and asked politely, "Can we take a picture together?"The two nodded. "Sure."Only people of high status were able to attend the party. Hence, it was expected when they were asked to take a photo together.Millie saw them taking photos with others, so she went somewhere else to sit alone. She had come mainly to understand Jake's intentions. Rachel was carefree and couldn't tell if someone liked her unless they said it directly.Winston and Sean wanted to approach Millie when they saw her sitting down.Millie could sense two pairs of eyes staring at her, distinctly different from the others around.

Instead, she wanted to be a hunter and find her own prey. So, she started searching for her prey in the field. After looking around, she noticed that the three most distin

    Millie was stunned. Then, she sighed while holding the glass."I have a lot to handle right now. Currently, my grandma's health isn't in the best condition. If I don't take over her research lab, she won't be able to focus on recovery. On a separate note, my dad is currently in good health and fully capable of managing the company.""Last night, I was heartbroken to see your grandma unable to move her arm. She's always been so resilient. It's hard to believe she's struggling with her arm." Rachel was truly distressed.Millie was greatly concerned for Layla. It wasn't just the loss of feeling in her arm that troubled her. What really distressed her was that Layla had only cried once since the incident occurred, and hadn't shown any sign of distress thereafter. She carried on as if nothing had happened, and her composure was quite alarming.Layla was undeniably strong, but Millie couldn't help but wonder if she was truly as strong as she appeared. Perhaps Layla's inner struggles we

    "What's the problem? Celebrities and wealthy businessmen make a perfect match, don't you think? I've seen romantic dramas that illustrate this kind of relationship. Celebrities and bodyguards, celebrities and the handsome son of the nanny, celebrities and…"Rachel rolled her eyes just as Millie was about to finish speaking, causing her to let out a chuckle."Just kidding! I actually don't want you to be with someone of high social status like Jake." Millie glanced at Jake, knowing he couldn't provide enough time to be with Rachel. She was immersed in her work, and Jake was also occupied, which made their opportunities to see each other scarce.There was another crucial aspect to consider. Rachel and Jake had many admirers, but they came from different backgrounds. Jake's admirers were wealthy socialites or business partners, while most of Rachel's admirers were celebrities. Although they appeared to be compatible in many ways, they were not compatible in numerous areas."Mills, I

    It was a party, so Millie thought it would be fine to have one glass of wine. She contemplated it and concluded that one glass wouldn't hurt. Hence, she raised her glass and clinked it with Rachel's.In the end, one glass quickly led to another. At that moment, Millie had already had three drinks. "Another one, please."Rachel suddenly regretted asking Millie to drink. If she had known, she would have let Millie drink the juice.After Winston returned from taking a call, he noticed Millie requesting a drink from the bartender. Then, Laura urgently summoned her, who promptly instructed the bartender not to serve Millie. After that, she went to the backstage area.Although Millie wasn't excessively drinking, she found her appetite for alcohol stimulated and desired a few more glasses. However, Rachel intervened to prevent her from drinking any further. Thus, she stopped drinking. Millie gazed up and twirled on her bar stool. Life would be dull if it revolved solely around eating

    "Can we still be like in high school? You're always there for me when I'm hurt." Winston knew she didn't want to hear this, but he felt the need to say it.Millie revealed her true feelings to him, yet he never confessed to her. He never found the courage to tell Millie that he loved her."Millie, you can still be yourself and stay happy. Please come back to me, okay?" He wanted to touch her, but his hand stopped midair when she turned to look at him.The emotion reflected in her eyes was so unsettling that it left him uneasy and helpless. His love for her was like a hesitant hand reaching out but afraid to make contact. He found himself increasingly concerned about Millie's feelings and the way she gazed at him. He felt utterly powerless."Back to you?" she repeated softly."Do you really believe a broken heart can be fixed with just a few words?" Millie asked, gazing into his eyes. She saw love in his eyes but felt none in her own."If I come back to you, it will only be for

    Jake had seen many sides of Winston but had never seen him so desperate and begging like this. He was even ready to transfer all 15% of his shares to Millie. He even asked about what else she desired.This revealed a different side of Winston to him. He was genuinely serious this time. It made Jake realize that sometimes, the things one couldn't have were the most valuable."Winston, go home and rest early." Jake was unsure how to comfort him. The dynamics between Winston and Millie were incredibly complex, leaving him with the impression that this situation would linger for some time.He added, "I think you're too tired lately."Winston sat on a bar stool, his eyes reddening. He seemed less carefree than before. He once had a strong presence that kept people away. However, he now appeared lost and difficult to read."Honestly, it's draining to not have situations under my control," Winston said sincerely.He had always been accustomed to having complete control over everything

    Winston stood there, swirling the wine in his glass before downing it. He then grabbed the coat beside him and said, "I wish you and Rachel a successful partnership. I'm heading back now."Jake turned to see only Winston's back. It appeared that he had lost weight recently. He no longer looked as robust as he once did.Winston left the hotel and was surprised to see it snowing in Yerwick at the end of November. Snowflakes landed on his black coat as he walked down the steps. The surroundings were white and beautiful. In the distance, Eli waited by the car for him to get in.Winston was about to leave when he noticed a slim figure nearby. Eli glanced over and noticed it was Millie, crouching with snow in her hands. Her jacket lay on the ground, and she wore only a dress. Her hair was tied up, and her ears were red from the cold.Winston frowned. She always behaved this way. She always wore thin clothes to play in the winter snow and went barefoot in the summer rain. Deep within her,

    Winston was left speechless, holding back the words he wanted to say. He knew he had no right to ask the question.A horn sounded from behind. Millie turned and spotted Marvin arriving to pick her up. Without a glance at Winston, she hurriedly got into the car.The car's headlights cast a bright glow on Winston. Millie entered the car and gazed ahead. He stood tall and fit, bathed in light that created a soft halo around him. Though she couldn't see his face well, he seemed like someone out of place, someone she couldn't grasp or hold onto."Boss, has Mr. Greer lost weight?" Marvin teased her while reversing the car.Millie rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the softly blurred figure. Then, she asked, "Do you think I've lost weight lately?"Marvin glanced at her gently and remarked, "You've also lost weight. You must have been working exceptionally hard in the research lab.""Since I've been so busy, why don't you be my assistant and help me with the work?" she asked, glaring

    Millie glanced at Winston with initial shock and disbelief in her eyes. Then a hint of amusement appeared, and soon she couldn't hold it in and broke into laughter."Haha!" Millie raised her hand and placed the back of it on Winston's forehead.He didn't have a fever, right? Why else would he go along with such an absurd request?"Winston, where's your self-respect?" Millie tapped Winston's head.Winston furrowed his brow, wondering what exactly self-respect was supposed to be. Was it something edible, or could he use it to pursue Millie?She wanted to hear him, so he just played along for her. After all, women only needed a little bit of coaxing."I have none. It's all gone. Maybe the dog ate it." Winston spread his hands with a helpless expression on his face.Millie laughed and said, "You're being silly. Go help Grandpa put up the Spring Festival couplets!"Winston nodded. "Alright, let's get to work."Millie watched Winston as he bustled about, and a wave of emotions began

    Winston nodded with a smile and said, "Grandma, I understand."Millie smiled warmly, unable to hold back her laughter. Layla was just so endearing."Alright, the lights are all set up. What's on the menu today, and who's cooking?" Thomas walked in casually.Everly took off her coat and saw that there was a painting in front of Layla."Oh, could this be something that Mr. Greer brought?" she asked. "This painting looks really expensive.""Mr. Greer, do I get a gift?" Everly couldn't help teasing Winston.Winston knew that this was yet another person coming to give him a challenge."Sorry. I didn't know you and Uncle Thomas were here, so I didn't prepare anything. If there's something you like, I can buy it for you," he offered."How hilarious! Do you think I can't afford it? Do I need you to buy it?" Everly scoffed.Winston smiled and said, "Yes, you can afford it, but there's always a difference between something gifted to you and something you buy for yourself.""Mr. Greer i

    "Is this… a painting by Quentin Scott?" Layla asked, a bit incredulous.The Caldwell family held quite a respectable reputation in Yerwick City. Coupled with Layla's status, she was certainly not lacking in esteem.She wanted to buy this painting and had been trying to purchase it for over a year, but she still wasn't able to get it.The moment Winston nodded, she once again sensed the disparity between the Caldwell family and the Greer family.Although they didn't disagree that Winston wronged Millie, the truth was that they did have a good sense in their choices."Grandma, this is a painting by Quentin Scott. I bought it directly from Quentin Scott's assistant myself. It's absolutely genuine." Winston nodded, his demeanor gentle and well-mannered.Layla had thought Winston might give her something she liked, but she never expected that he would actually give her the painting "Where Mountains Meet the Sea" by Quentin Scott!Layla couldn't help but stand up and approach Winston.

    Winston had already decided to humble himself completely to make sure his wife remained happy."Go on in," Thomas finally said.Millie and Winston went inside, where Everly was crouching next to Arthur, working on the lights with him.Winston put down the gifts he brought and asked, "Can I help with anything?""Ah, Winston, you're here. Come on in and warm up a bit." Arthur smiled and didn't say anything more.Millie nodded, indicating that Winston should go in first.Thomas and Everly stayed outside working on the lights while Millie, Winston, and Arthur went inside the house.In the living room, Layla was eating chips and watching TV. When she saw that Winston had arrived, she remained expressionless.Millie glanced cautiously at her grandmother with a gentle expression."Grandpa, I brought some good coffee beans." Winston placed a gift box on the coffee table.Arthur chuckled and said, "You didn't need to bring any gifts. You already brought plenty last time."The last gi

    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.
