She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 10
Winston was taken aback by Millie's response. She and Selma got along the best, and Selma doted on her as if she were Selma's biological granddaughter.Whenever he did something he shouldn't have, Selma would immediately stand up for Millie. In fact, she even went to the company to rebuke him several times!Yet, Millie was now claiming that she wouldn't be attending Selma's birthday celebration. Naturally, Winston didn't believe her.Frowning slightly, Winston said in a fairly neutral tone, "Millie, let's just move on from the incident involving you pushing Joanna into the pool.""Move on? What do you mean by that? By moving on now, you're just solidifying the accusation that I did it, aren't you?" Millie swiftly retorted.Winston didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore. With a displeased look in his eyes, he snapped, "Can you stop kicking up a fuss?"Millie eyed him with increasing disappointment. Even now, he assumed she was just throwing a tantrum.Looking down, she chuck

Millie went back to the villa to retrieve the ring, but when she keyed in the password to open the door, she heard a robotic voice stating, "Error. You have keyed in the wrong password."She took another look at the house to confirm that it was Winston's place before keying in the password again. Once more, it said she had used the wrong password.Did the password change?After Millie failed the key in the password for the third time and also failed to unlock the door through the fingerprint scanner, the alarm started beeping. She was now certain she was right—the password had been changed.It was as expected of Winston. He had done it so quickly.Millie wondered just how deep his disdain for her ran. Was he so keen to never see her in this house again? He had already changed the password when she had only left two days ago.She got her phone out and was just about to call Winston when the door opened, and a familiar voice rang out."Mills?"Millie swiftly turned around and imm

Millie watched as Winston grabbed Joanna's wrist while ignoring her.The sense of weightlessness as she fell felt particularly vivid to her, and at the same time, her heart was filled with despair.Winston had never chosen her—not once, not even when she was also in genuine danger."Mills!" Joanna pretended to cry out in concern.Millie stumbled down to the turn in the staircase before coming to a stop. The pain she felt in both her body and her heart made her feel suffocated.Slowly raising her head, she saw both Winston and Joanna looking down at her.Words could not describe the embarrassment, anguish, and despair she felt. She didn't fall far enough to put her life at risk, but she had certainly lost all her strength.Winston glared at Millie with a look of abhorrence as he rebuked her, "It was only a few days ago when you pushed Joanna into the water! She still hasn't fully recovered yet, but here you are slapping her, and you even tried to push her down the stairs! You'r

As soon as Winston arrived at his office in Greer Tower, Eli came in and said, "Ms. Lowell isn't feeling well, Mr. Greer. She has been brought to the hospital. Also, the security footage you asked for has been sent to your email."Winston hummed in acknowledgment. He sat down at his desk and swiftly opened up his inbox.But for some reason, when he saw the video file, he paused.Millie's trembling voice seemed to ring in his ears. He could still hear what she said earlier."This has happened far too many times now. You always pin all the blame on me without even bothering to check the security footage first. Are you afraid that the love of your life isn't as kind as she pretends to be, or are you afraid to realize that you've misjudged me?"Winston clutched his mouse tightly, feeling a sense of guilt as he stared at the video file.Had he been wrong about Millie?He couldn't be. She was a vicious woman who was capable of all kinds of atrocities. She was just trying to put on a s

In the evening, Millie made her way to The Nouveau, a restaurant with vintage decor and an elegant, sophisticated ambiance. She was wearing a tasteful green dress with a matching purse.She was a little late, and when she opened the door to the private dining room, the guests all stood up at once.The light illuminated her soft skin, and the slit in her dress revealed her long, slender legs.She had her hair up in a bun with a hairpin sticking through it. Her fringe hid the wound on her forehead.Everyone was mesmerized by the sight of her."Oh, my. If it isn't Ms. Caldwell," a man in his fifties said. He was Eric Lopez, Terrence's good friend. He was the one who organized this private dinner gathering with his other friends who were all influential figures in the business world."She's not just Ms. Caldwell. She's Terrence's precious daughter and the apple of his eye! Don't you underestimate her!" another man corrected Eric.Millie let out a helpless chuckle as she looked aroun

The man cackled as he tried to pull Millie into his arms. "100 million is nothing to me! All I have to do is ask for it!"Millie narrowed her eyes. What an arrogant thing for him to say."Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?" Millie asked with a smirk.The man lifted his head up high and declared arrogantly, "I'm Scotty Cobb, the CEO of Cobb Group!"Millie laughed.Scotty Cobb? Wasn't he the infamous wastrel from the Cobb family? He was just a foolish, good-for-nothing scion! He was most known for having been scammed out of eight million by a man who pretended to be a woman online!All in all, Scotty was a brainless man with too much money for his own good!"What are you laughing at?" Scotty snapped as he glared at Millie. "If you hook up with me, you'll be getting more than just 100 million. I'll give you 100 billion!"Millie tutted. It was a tempting offer."I'm not interested in you, Mr. Cobb. Kindly let go, and let's pretend this never happened," Millie said with a

Millie was taken aback. She didn't expect Winston to check the security footage. Nevertheless, that no longer mattered to her.She applied a plaster on Winston's hand before closing the first aid kit, saying, "All done."Winston frowned. He was displeased by how indifferent she seemed."Millie, I said I saw the security footage," he repeated.She looked at him and replied with a smile, "I heard you."Winston's frown deepened. Was that all? Wasn't she going to ask for an apology or something?Noting Winston's confusion, Millie got up to return the first aid kit to the drawer while saying coolly, "In the past, I loved you, so I cared about your opinion of me. But now…"Turning back around, she declared, "It doesn't matter to me anymore."Winston licked his lips. His eyes flashed darkly as he asked with an unreadable expression, "You don't love me anymore?""You're so smart, Mr. Greer," Millie said with a captivating smile as she leaned against the cabinet.Loving him had alread

Winston emerged from the restaurant. Eli spoke to him from the other end of the call, "Mr. Greer, there's something—""Get to the point." "Ms. Lowell asked for your schedule just now, and I mentioned you were at The Nouveau. She might…" While Eli was speaking, Winston spotted Joanna waiting for him by the entrance.He hung up on Eli. Watching Joanna's petite figure, he found it intriguing and unbelievable that a fragile woman like her had fought back against the abductors.He was reminded of Jake's advice to him—that he could only choose between Joanna and Millie.He realized that he had to pick Joanna over Millie. Joanna was a fine young lady, and he didn't have the heart to put her under more pressure or compel her to make additional sacrifices.He approached Joanna. "Jo."The woman turned around and flashed a quiet, subservient smile at him. "Win."He looked down at her with gentle eyes. "Why are you here instead of resting at the hospital?""Win, I'm sorry for what happen

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
