She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 715
The moment the words left her lips, everyone's attention shifted to Millie.Winston pushed through the crowd, his brow furrowed as he looked at her. He had just heard her say, "What if I own Butterfly's Winter's Embrace?"Meanwhile, Ivory looked completely bewildered. How could Millie possibly have Winter's Embrace? It was still just a design draft, and Butterfly hadn't announced that it had been sold.Suddenly, Natalie burst into laughter. The room's atmosphere grew tense. Everyone fell silent, waiting to see what would happen next. Only Natalie's laughter grew louder and more brazen.Everly quickly grabbed Millie's arm. She shouldn't be making such claims, especially about Butterfly's new work."You're lying. If Butterfly's Winter's Embrace had been sold, it would have been announced on the design forum. But Butterfly hasn't said a word," Natalie said.She then pointed at Millie. "So you're just making it up!""That's because we're still negotiating the contract, but Butterf

The voices grew louder, one after another.Winston looked up and saw a young man in his early 20s, clearly from a wealthy family. It was awkward to see someone so young having to make a public apology.He pressed his lips together and stepped forward, making his way to the center of the crowd.The onlookers were wary of Winston. They assumed he would help his ex-wife, Millie, out of the situation and that it would soon blow over.However, they were wrong. Winston was there to provide concrete evidence."Butterfly's comeback collection is indeed priced at one billion dollars. She wasn't exaggerating," Winston stated, his gaze sweeping over the man who had made the earlier remark.As soon as he finished speaking, the man's expression changed drastically. "That's impossible!""I don't lie," Winston said, raising an eyebrow. He crossed his arms and shot the man a challenging look. "Are you doubting me now?"The man was stunned into silence. Who would dare admit they didn't trust Wi

Natalie was still in disbelief. "You know Butterfly?" she asked."Didn't I already say? Butterfly and I go way back," Millie replied with a smirk.Of course, they knew each other. In fact, they couldn't be closer."We grew up together," Millie added. She lowered her head and casually tugged at her earlobe, putting on a show.Natalie found herself falling for the act. Even her once-cocky tone had softened. It was hard to believe that Millie and Butterfly had actually grown up together. A flicker of confusion crossed Winston's and Everly's faces. How could they not have known that Millie and Butterfly were childhood friends?Especially Winston, who had been involved with Millie for years. And yet, he had no idea she was connected to someone like Butterfly.Everly's lips twitched. It felt like she had been dealt a blow. Her cousin was close to Butterfly, and here she was, shamelessly praising Butterfly right in front of Millie.However, Millie hadn't said a word. Instead, she had

Winston still found it strange. How did Millie know Butterfly?As Everly watched Millie walk away, she suddenly heard Noah ask, "Your cousin seems pretty capable, huh?"Everly glanced up and muttered, "I'm surprised too. I always thought…"She had assumed Millie was just a lovesick, incapable woman. To her surprise, there was more to Millie than met the eye."You guys seem close," Noah stated."Where'd you get that idea?" Everly asked with a wry chuckle.Noah thought for a moment before answering seriously, "She was really protective of you earlier."On top of that, Millie had mentioned giving Everly the billion-dollar Winter's Embrace as if it were no big deal. Didn't that indicate she cared?Everly fell silent. She wasn't sure if Millie loved her. All she knew was that she wasn't part of the Caldwells by blood, yet they treated her well.Meanwhile, Natalie felt as though all her energy had been drained after learning that Millie knew Butterfly. She was engulfed in uncertaint

Millie made her way back to the research lab and promptly began refining Aspher. It was a time-consuming process that required constant supervision. As she examined the array of data displayed on the equipment, her expression grew increasingly serious.She was confident that the essential essence could be extracted from Aspher, yet she harbored the expectation that the refinement process might yield unforeseen surprises from Aspher. If it could ultimately benefit SH2N, that would be the most remarkable outcome.With a deep sigh, Millie rubbed her temples. Just then, her phone rang unexpectedly. She glanced up and reached for the phone that was plugged in to charge.Her phone buzzed with a flurry of group messages from the research lab, perplexing her about the ongoing discussions. Hundreds of messages flooded in, and it wasn't until someone mentioned her, prompting her notification popped up. Upon checking, Millie discovered that not only was she tagged in the group chat, but she
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 720
Millie pouted at Natalie's sarcastic remarks. As she scrolled to the bottom of the chat, she saw many people asking for verification. Everyone was curious about the gossip, especially since it involved someone they knew.Thus, Millie replied, "Yes, I know her."Soon, the group chat erupted with excitement. They were astonished to discover that Millie actually knew Butterfly.Elijah: "Everyone on the internet says Butterfly is an AI."Millie: "Nope. She's a young woman."After thinking for a while, Millie added, "She's quite pretty."Naturally, Millie said this for her self-interest. As a woman, she shouldn't be ashamed to praise herself. In fact, she'd like to do it even more.Millie switched off her phone and stopped responding to their messages. Suddenly, she thought of Iris Sky Dining and Winston.Millie let out a sigh, her gaze drifting to the window. The sky was overcast, hinting at yet another impending snowfall. Yerwick had experienced an abundance of snow and rain this

Millie gazed at the word count in the data column, then turned her gaze toward the window. Hank called her name multiple times, but it appeared that Millie was lost in her thoughts and didn't hear her. With no other option, Hank approached her and asked with a note of concern, "Ms. Caldwell, are you feeling unwell? Would you like to go home and rest?"His words pulled her back to reality. She shook her head, signaling that she was fine. Rubbing her temples, she said, "Why don't you review the data first? I'll head to the lounge for a bit."Hank nodded and watched Millie leave the lab. It fell silent, and Hank was curious about Millie's unease. After all, Millie had been deeply completely absorbed in the research lately. He wondered if Winston was the distraction.Millie settled onto the couch in the lounge, engrossed in scrolling through her Instastory. Just as she was about to swipe further, a message from Rachel popped up.She opened her message and frowned as she recognized th

Millie's presence would signify that there was still hope for him. Winston sighed and rubbed his forehead, feeling exhausted. The company's and Selma's issues weighed heavily on him, making it hard to breathe.Winston's gaze landed on the coffee table beside him, where a jewelry box rested. This was the very gift he had chosen for Millie.A sudden knock echoed at the door. He was surprised. The waiter had just refilled his glass, and he didn't expect him to return so soon.Could it be? Winston rushed to the door and planned to open it himself. Just as he was about to call out a name, he overheard someone outside saying, "Mr. Greer."All the hope in Winston's eyes vanished in an instant. It wasn't Millie; it was the waiter.The waiter said, "Mr. Greer, a woman named Millie Caldwell called and has a message for you."Hearing that, Winston was confused."She mentioned that she's incredibly busy in the lab and that she won't be able to come. She wishes for you to take good care of y

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
