Winston had just pulled out of the parking lot when a purple Pagani caught his eye. Wasn't that Millie's car? A wild thought suddenly struck him. Milla came from a renowned medical family and preferred to stay out of the public eye, but she had agreed to treat Selma. Could it be that… Milla was actually Millie?Winston slammed on the brakes, flung open the car door, and glanced back. At that moment, he saw the woman getting into a black RV.The RV sped off, and Winston couldn't make out the license plate. He quickly jumped into his car and took off in pursuit.However, by the time he exited the underground parking lot and hit the morning traffic, the RV had disappeared.…"Damn! That almost gave me a heart attack!" Millie exclaimed, glancing nervously over her shoulder. A light sheen of sweat had already formed on her forehead.All she had wanted was to get home. She never expected to run into Winston in the elevator, and overhearing him talking about her with Eli had made he

Millie rested her chin on her hand and gazed out the window, pointedly ignoring Marvin. Even if he sent her home, she knew she would find a way to sneak back to the lab later.As the one in charge, the weight of responsibility pressed heavily on her. Every extra effort she put in would bring them closer to a breakthrough. Marvin glanced at her and asked, "By the way, what should I do if Mr. Greer brings up the remuneration again?"Millie looked up. Remuneration? Winston was notoriously stubborn. Once he made up his mind, changing it was nearly impossible."Just forward his messages to me. I'll handle it from now on.""Alright, but I guess Eli's the one dealing with the negotiations," Marvin replied.Millie hummed in response. "Got it."…Before long, they arrived at Caldwell Villa. Just as Millie was about to step out of the car, Marvin said, "Don't even think about sneaking off to the lab. I'll be keeping an eye on you from your doorstep."Millie looked at him silently, her

Millie had come to accept that loneliness and a sense of emptiness were just part of life.After splashing some water on her face to shake off the grogginess, she grabbed her phone and saw several messages from her colleagues at the research lab, mostly about data. The lab needed her; it couldn't operate without her.Millie checked the time. It was already past 6:00 pm. With winter in full swing, night had fallen quickly.She changed into a fresh set of clothes and tidied up a bit before heading to the lab. The biting wind cut through her, and the weather forecast had predicted even colder temperatures ahead.…When Millie arrived, the lab was deserted. The soft rustling of trees in the cold night air only made the place feel more eerie.The lab's emptiness, combined with the darkness, created a chilling atmosphere. As she approached the database, the lights flickered on automatically in response to her fingerprint scan.Just as she was about to move closer, a figure in the co

After Natalie left, Millie returned to her data analysis. She also decided to look up every available information on Aspher. Although she knew it was beneficial for SH2N, she hadn't yet fully understood the herb's specific properties. Just as she was about to settle on the couch to review the data, a blaring alarm suddenly filled the building. Millie looked up in confusion. The alarm was shrill, its intensity enough to stir panic across the entire floor. She frowned, and suddenly, it hit her. Natalie had just left! There had been an unsettling chill in the air when she arrived earlier. Could something have happened to Natalie? Without hesitation, Millie switched on the lab's lights, dashed out of her office, and headed downstairs. As soon as she reached the lobby, she heard frantic cries for help."Help! Somebody, help!"The lights did little to illuminate the lab, but Millie spotted a smear of blood on the white tiles. It was clear that Natalie had been stabbed and dragged a

As Millie closed in, Isaac shoved Natalie aside. Without missing a beat, he reached for Millie's hair. Despite her trembling, she managed to land a powerful kick. Isaac's startled cry had barely escaped his lips when her right fist landed squarely on his face. He spun around and almost collided with a tree.Millie quickly seized his arms from behind and threw him to the ground. There was a loud thud as he hit the dirt.Without hesitation, she ripped off Isaac's hat and mask, revealing a face that was unfamiliar and almost too gentle for his actions. His eyes conveyed a mix of innocence and resignation, as if he had been forced into this. Moreover, his leg was still bleeding, and the sight of it stirred a pang of sympathy in Millie."Who sent you?" she demanded.Her only enemy was Joanna, and she wanted to hear her name directly from him. That way, she could confront Joanna head-on.But Isaac shook his head, refusing to answer."Life's tough enough. Let's not make it harder fo

"Nonsense! What's there to be afraid of? These little tricks are—" Natalie's confident declaration was cut short by the sudden ring of Millie's phone, causing her to scream in surprise.The high-pitched scream made Millie wince. She shook off the discomfort before reaching for her phone. It was Marvin calling. With a smirk, Millie glanced at Natalie. The latter had just insisted she wasn't scared, yet she had screamed so loudly. Given how loud she had been, Millie figured Natalie was doing just fine. "Shoot," Millie said into the phone. "We're on his tail. He made a stop and picked up a man. I'm en route from M Base and should catch up with him soon," Marvin reported."Alright," Millie replied. "Find out who sent him. If he's working for Joanna, get him to spill the details. I want her name out in the open."That way, she could finally confront the Lowells head-on. She had given Joanna more than enough chances, only for her to keep causing trouble. "Got it, boss."With that
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 690
Millie was taken aback. So, Isaac wasn't working for Joanna? Marvin wrote, "Boss, have you offended anyone else recently?"Millie frowned, puzzled. Her daily routine consisted of going home and the research lab. Who could she have possibly upset?She didn't respond. Instead, she continued her meal while mentally reviewing the people she had encountered lately. "Dr. Caldwell, are you alright after last night?" someone asked as they greeted Millie.Millie nodded. "I'm fine.""What about Natalie? She must have been quite shaken.""She handled it well. She's very brave," Millie replied with a smile, preserving Natalie's dignity."Dr. Caldwell, did you see the news this morning? There was an explosion at one of Greer Group's factories last night," a man remarked as he approached, eager to share the gossip.Millie looked up, intrigued."Greer Group," the man emphasized.Millie pulled out her phone to check. Sure enough, her Twitter feed was flooded with the news."Greer Group F
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 691
At the Greer Group factory, the media had been waiting for hours, anticipating Winston's arrival. An incident of this scale required his personal presence.Near the ruins, the victims' families wept openly, their cries cutting through the air with raw, unbearable grief.As soon as Winston's car pulled up, a crowd descended on him—grieving family members, security personnel, and reporters.Before stepping out, Eli turned to remind Winston, "Mr. Greer, we need to handle this delicately. Three people have died, so we need to agree to whatever the families request."Winston gave a silent nod, a sense of guilt weighing on him as he glanced at the devastated families.The Greer Group had always prided itself on strict safety measures across its factories, shops, and offices. So, he couldn't understand how an explosion like this could have happened. Everything about the whole situation felt off.The moment the car door opened, a wave of chaotic voices surged toward him from every direct

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
