Chapter 101

Gavin gazed at the crowd, his striking features devoid of any emotion and exuding an icy chill. He conveyed Layla's message. "Ladies and gentlemen," he began, "these are the snacks that Madam Layla has prepared for all of you. Madam Layla mentioned that Ms. Caldwell is new here, and she would like to express her gratitude for your assistance."Everyone shook their heads. "We didn't help much. She's too kind."Joanna frowned as she observed the scene, feeling uneasy and thinking it was excessive. Millie seemed to enjoy showing off, just like she did in high school. She looked like an upstart.After Gavin had finished conveying the messages, he turned to Lainey and said, "Dr. Quinn, Madam Layla mentioned that she plans to visit you on another day. Thank you for your hard work!"Lainey felt a rush of excitement when she heard that Layla, a legendary figure in the medical field, was coming to visit her. She couldn't believe it. It felt like a dream come true."Madam Layla informed u

Rowan also brought some imported food for them all to enjoy. Before departing, he announced, "We'll be delivering food every Monday from now on."As the gifts and food slowly overflowed the nurses' station and department, Millie's colleagues wondered if this was really happening. They were in disbelief.Joanna stared at the gifts on the table and angrily threw them into the trash can again.Joanna's lackey was about to toss it away when she overheard someone mention, "I've actually looked up this scarf online before. It's worth thousands of dollars.""This perfume is also a limited edition and quite difficult to buy."Wanda Cooper hesitated just before tossing the items into the trash can. Discarding the cakes and coffee was a simple decision. Yet, as a regular person, there was a tinge of reluctance to throw away the thousand-dollar scarf and limited edition perfume.Joanna stared at Wanda, perplexed by her hesitation and actions. Did she truly want to keep the gifts that Millie

Layla was the first to respond to Millie's message. "Have you received everything? Work diligently in the hospital, and don't embarrass me!"Millie pouted as she read the message.Millie: "Don't worry, I've got this. I won't embarrass you!"Terrence: "Even though you didn't take charge of my company, there must be a celebration for you wherever you go. I'll handle all the arrangements. Simply focus on your work, and if you're unhappy, come home and inherit the family property."Millie smiled, and her eyes gleamed with both helplessness and happiness. She felt grateful for having a father who eagerly awaited her return home every day in anticipation of passing down his inheritance.Julia: "Happy working, Mills. I love you."Millie was ecstatic but wondered why Arthur didn't reply. "@Grandpa, did you arrange anything?"Arthur, peering through his glasses at the phone screen, was suddenly mentioned. He couldn't resist texting a message tinged with grievance. Arthur: "I was about

Joanna smiled. "May I take the food to go?"Millie stared at Joanna, wondering what she was up to. Joanna glared at her with a burning desire for revenge. She couldn't forget how Millie had made her purchase an excessive amount of drinks at the bar."Dr. Lowell, you may order whatever you want to eat. I'm fine with it," Millie replied earnestly.Their colleagues glanced at the pair, sensing the tension in the air.Joanna summoned the waiter and asked, "What is the most expensive dish on the menu?""Ms. Lowell, five exquisite lobsters have just arrived from Arbalia today. Their average price is about two thousand dollars each," replied the waiter.The others were shocked upon hearing the price. It cost two thousand dollars per lobster. Clearly, they were not eating lobsters but money."We want them all." Joanna smiled.The waiter was stunned and wondered whether she was truly ordering all the lobsters.Joanna tilted her head, took a sip of water, and asked, "Why? Are you unwi

Winston had a captivating bass voice, especially when he expressed his intention to make amends, showing great affection for Joanna. Millie felt a pang in her heart at his words. She gazed deeply into his eyes and offered a gentle smile. Saying nothing more, she turned back toward the private room. If Joanna found out that the five premium lobsters she ordered to cause trouble for Millie were paid by Winston, she would likely be furious.Winston gazed upon Millie's back, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions. In the past, Millie would have surely caused a commotion upon hearing him attempting to please Joanna. However, this time, she simply glanced at him before turning away. Was this because she no longer loved him or because she loved him too much and had to pretend not to care?Millie returned to the private room, purposefully leaving the door ajar because she knew that Winston would come to see Joanna. True to her expectations, Winston knocked on the door as soon a

After the gathering, Winston escorted Joanna back to her home.Millie was the last one to leave. She headed to the cashier to settle the bill for the additional food they had ordered. However, she was informed that Winston had already taken care of it. Upon realizing that Winston's kind gesture was not directed at her, Millie felt jealous. At this moment, she envied Joanna even more. Joanna had the power to make Winston fall deeply in love with her.Millie glanced at the clock and realized it was already 10:00 pm. She couldn't understand why she was feeling so utterly exhausted. Perhaps it was because it was her very first day at work. She felt extremely drained.Millie didn't go home right away. Instead, she sat on the couch in the lobby for a while. After lingering there for a period of time, just as she was about to doze off, she thought she saw Winston at the entrance.Millie thought she was dreaming. Hence, she rubbed her eyes and stood up, planning to go home and rest. But

Millie carefully considered Winston's words, gazing intently at his face before replying gently, "I'm seeking a 6' 3" male athlete who is charming, handsome, and exceptional in bed."Winston sneered, startled by the obscene words coming out of Millie's mouth. Exceptional in bed? He pinched Millie's chin, his gaze growing icier. "Are you that lonely?" "You're out there having all the fun, so what's wrong with me finding a male athlete? Is it illegal?" Millie asked.Winston was about to answer her question when Millie added, "Winston, men shouldn't have double standards. If you want me to be a devoted wife and dutifully follow your lead at home, then you must adhere to the same principle."Winston gazed at her, rendered speechless. After a long while, he asked, "Are you complaining?""Yes, I am." She was complaining that he had disappointed her for the past three years and that he seemed to be planning to divorce her, but his actions were confusing her.He constantly gave her hope

Winston took a deep breath and recalled what the others said. "Millie always followed Winston around but vanished the moment he was kidnapped!"He raised his hand, unable to resist the urge to bite his fingertips, his gaze growing more complex."You're all grown up now, yet you still bite your finger," Millie exclaimed, her tone dripping with mockery.Winston averted his gaze and frowned. He promptly withdrew his hand, feeling unease. He wondered if it was Millie who had saved him, but he couldn't understand why she never mentioned it in the past three years. He felt suspicious and decided to ask her directly about what had happened back then.Suddenly, the door to the private room swung open, and the chef presented the food. "Cobb salad, steak pie, and pumpkin soup. Mr. and Mrs. Greer, enjoy your meal."At first, Millie wasn't hungry. However, when she saw the food on the table, her stomach started growling. She had skipped dinner after a tiring day of work and was thus starvin

"Win, have you reached home?" Joanna's voice was soft and gentle.Winston glanced toward the door and replied softly, "I'm home.""Could you please give me a ride to work tomorrow morning?" Joanna asked a little coquettishly with a hint of a smile. Winston took a sip of water. "I'll pick you up after work."He had to go to the cell the following morning."No, please take me to work and pick me up when I finish. We can have dinner together, alright?" Joanna's voice softened.Winston lost his patience. "Joanna, don't force me to do something I don't want."There was a momentary silence on the other end of the phone, followed by her question. "Then what would you like to do?"Winston massaged his forehead, feeling irritated. "I'll pick you up after work. I'm hanging up now."After that, he ended the call.At that moment, a black Rolls-Royce was parked outside the private kitchen. Inside the car, Joanna gripped her phone tightly, only to hear the beep, signaling the call was dis

Winston was stunned. He couldn't believe that she had actually blocked him. He called Millie right away but discovered that his number was also blocked when he attempted to call but couldn't reach her. He instantly felt upset and overwhelmed with anger.She was so bold that she even dared to block him. Moreover, she was perfectly fine while eating just now. So why did she suddenly lose her mind when she went to the bathroom? Wasn't she the one who used to want to be with him every day?Winston glared at Millie's half-finished meal on the table, feeling annoyed. He strode up and walked out. At the cash register, the boss said, "Mr. Greer, Mrs. Greer has already settled the bill."Winston was even more frustrated. He felt humiliated that his own wife paid the bill when they went out to eat together."When did she leave?" Winston asked coldly.The boss glanced at the clock and replied, "Fifteen minutes ago."Fifteen minutes ago? Winston retrieved his phone and checked his call log
