Millie arrived home and hurriedly jumped onto the bed, leaving her bag and slippers aside. Taking a deep breath, she rolled over to gaze at the ceiling, instinctively rubbing her face. Winter had arrived, and the chill was settling in.It was after 10:00 pm, and snowflakes danced gently outside. After a hot shower, she felt wide awake after her skincare routine. Suddenly, an idea struck her. Hence, she made her way to the study and powered on the long-forgotten computer.She logged into the M Base system and was greeted with a flood of emails. It was so overwhelming that she couldn't possibly read them all. Many people reached out, hoping she'd return, participate in activities, and attend events.Millie despised revealing her identity. M Base operated like a black market. It was a platform to sell and buy work. However, exposing her identity was utterly out of the question. M was an incredibly influential figure. If she were to show up, it would send everyone into a frenzy.Si

A notification appeared as soon as Millie's account came online. A shimmering golden banner gradually illuminated the top of the forum. "Jewelry designer Butterfly is online."In just a moment, many people rushed into the jewelry section, each eager to share a post. Millie didn't refresh for just ten seconds, and the updated posts had jumped to over a thousand. She was surprised to realize she still held so much influence after three years.Soon, Millie received a message from Marvin. "Boss, why didn't you inform me beforehand about your visit to the M Base forum? I'll have Drew boost the server. The design section is in complete chaos now."Millie was left speechless. All she wanted was to log in and take a glance, but she completely forgot the online notification.Millie replied, "Marvin, please ask Drew to disable the online notification for my account."Logging in with her primary account in the future would pose significant challenges. The M Base forum was mysterious, requiri

Millie arrived at the research lab after 10:00 am. The unexpected heavy snowfall enveloped the city, casting a chilly ambiance throughout.Wrapping her arms tightly around herself, her two dark circles revealed her fatigue. As she gently massaged around her eyes, Natalie entered with some documents. Noticing Millie's exhausted appearance, she couldn't help but mock her."You may be in your 20s, but you already appear to be in your 30s. I can't even imagine how you'll look when you actually reach your 30s," she remarked sarcastically as she set her things down.Millie felt exasperated with Natalie, finding her quite annoying.She opened the file and sneered. "People in their 30s have their own way of living, but regardless of my age, I surpass you. Natalie, focus on yourself and stop fretting over matters that aren't your concern."She subtly indicated to Natalie that her appearance was irrelevant to her and urged her to mind her own business.Natalie snorted coldly and fell silen

Gabriel was upset. "Millie, we were hired by Professor Cadmore."Millie asked, "Isn't it common to replace disloyal soldiers when a new commander takes charge? So what if Professor Cadmore hires you? Would you be so negligent if she were here? Who do you think you're trying to intimidate?"Millie confronted him coldly. Her presence was so commanding that nearby researchers didn't dare argue. Some even quickly put on their coats and started working."Who are you trying to fool? I've been in this lab longer than Professor Cadmore!" Gabriel expressed his frustration. He held a significant position and was convinced that Millie would never have the audacity to dismiss him."I have every right to fire you. No need to threaten me."Gabriel sneered. "Who could possibly take my place if you fire me?"Without hesitation, Millie gestured toward Natalie and asked, "How about the postdoc who has just returned from studying abroad taking your spot?"Natalie was taken aback when Millie pointe

Everly wore a mask and cap in the hospital, and they didn't talk much in the elevator. Millie was surprised when Everly suggested visiting Layla together. Anyway, she also wanted to ask Layla about her plans after Aspher's refining."Will you be staying in Yerwick for a while?" Millie initiated a conversation after exiting the elevator.“Yeah. I decided to take a break. I'm exhausted and just don't feel like filming anymore.” Everly yawned, appearing quite lethargic.Passersby couldn't help but glance at Everly multiple times. After all, her outfit was undeniably unconventional.All of a sudden, Everly's phone rang. She sighed. "It's my assistant. I'm going to take this call. You can head in first.""Alright." Millie took the gifts Everly purchased for Layla. As she opened the ward door, she heard faint cries from inside, so soft that she had to listen closely to catch them.Millie frowned and sighed, realizing it was Layla crying. She lowered her head, knowing Layla must be very

Layla raised her left hand and caressed Millie's head. "Mills, my love for you has not been in vain. You truly are my sweetheart.""Grandma, if Everly finds out, she'll be so jealous," Millie said with a smile.Just as she finished her sentence, Everly walked in. "What did you say? What do I have to be jealous of?"Millie looked at Everly as she removed her mask and cap. "Grandma mentioned that you're her sweetheart.""Tsk, you're the true sweetheart, not me," Everly retorted. She understood her place clearly. As the adopted child, she didn't feel the need to compare herself with the other Caldwells. She felt grateful to the Caldwell family for raising her, knowing that her success was due to their support. She aimed to behave well without being greedy."I like both of you. Evie, stop saying that I'm biased!" Layla glared at Everly as she spoke.Everly sat by Layla's bed and held her hand. "Alas, Grandma. Whether you love me or not, I'll still take care of you."Layla snorted.

Millie was stunned, holding the apple. She asked softly, "Do you know about Butterfly too?""How can anyone be unaware of Butterfly? Millie, you haven't heard of Butterfly, have you?" Everly gazed at Millie from head to toe, her eyes sparkling with an unmistakable mockery. She was astounded that Millie was unaware of Butterfly. Butterfly was such a famous designer. But then again, it made sense. Millie rarely purchased jewelry.Millie was at a loss for words. "Of course I know Butterfly. How could I not? She’s incredibly famous!"Everly sat down and said, "Oh dear, we're family. You don't have to pretend in front of me. If you're unaware, just admit it. Would you like me to share more about Butterfly?"Millie showed no interest and firmly replied, "No."She crossed her arms, her expression stern. "Millie, if you're familiar with Butterfly, you'd understand just how inferior Aurora Jewels truly is. "In the world of jewelry, only Butterfly's designs hold any value to me. If I co

Everly scoffed. "I'm not as sensible as you are."Millie dismissed it, saying casually, "Good that you know."Everly rolled her eyes, looking down on Millie with disdain. She had heard that Butterfly was a woman who gained fame at an early age. How wonderful it would be if that designer were her sister! If so, she wouldn't have to rely on her team to beg and borrow Butterfly's exquisite haute couture jewels."I don't know if Butterfly has a sister. How happy it would be to be her sister instead of suffering like me!" Everly complained again.Millie glanced at Everly, rendered speechless. "Go seek out Butterfly and ask her if she would like to be your sister. Find out if she wants that. Everly, you should appreciate how well I treat you."Everly smiled. "Millie, you certainly have a talent for flattering yourself. With a celebrity cousin like me, you should be the one appreciating me!""Do I really need a celebrity cousin like you? I already have my best friend, who just happens

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
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
