Chapter 11

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

Chapter 12

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

Chapter 14

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

Chapter 16

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

Chapter 17

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

Chapter 18

Millie showed up at the courthouse with the necessary documents and waited for Winston. Her thoughts wandered back to the day they registered their marriage three years ago. There was a heavy downpour in Yerwick. Winston said he'd be late because he was busy with work. Later, he suggested rescheduling due to the heavy rain.That day, she stood at the courthouse entrance alone, watching the rain subside and resume. It wasn't until the end of business hours that Winston showed up.During the wait, she watched the sweet, smiling young couples entering and leaving. She couldn't help but sigh. If he truly loved her, he would have shown up even if it were raining, not to mention it was the day of their marriage registration. He certainly did not love her and didn't care about marrying her.Back to the present, Millie paced the area out of boredom. The clock struck 9:00 am. She looked up, but Winston was absent. So, she texted him, "Mr. Greer, I can't believe you can be tardy."He did n

Chapter 19

Millie collected herself. While holding Selma, she gently replied, "Grandma, those are just baseless rumors. Don't put too much weight on these rumors."There was no way she'd admit to getting a divorce in front of Selma. If Selma interfered with the proceedings, Winston would never get to marry his true love. Millie wasn't about to live under his resentment forever."How could I be getting a divorce when I'm dressed in this lovely dress today?" Millie swirled in the dress that accentuated her slender figure. Winston breathed a sigh of relief, though doubt lingered in his mind.Selma, busy with her birthday party preparations, had suddenly dropped by the villa on the day of his supposed divorce. Did Millie leak the news to Selma because she refused to divorce?He furrowed his brows, the thought weighing his mind."I don't believe it. Where there's smoke, there's fire. The two of you must have brought up getting a divorce!" Selma refused to believe that the rumors were unfounded.

Chapter 20

Winston's brows twisted into a frown. He gazed calmly at Millie as if he agreed that she was a shameless and manipulative woman.Anger and bitterness brewed deep within Millie. She no longer cared what Winston thought of her. Still, she felt like a fool because the latter kept questioning her. With a bitter smile, she snarled, "Why don't we just tell your grandma about our divorce if you think I'm that despicable?" "You wouldn't dare!" Winston stomped forward. He could tell from Selma's actions that she cared a lot about Winston and Millie's marriage. It would only cause Selma more trouble if they told her they wanted to get divorced now. Winston refused to make any mistakes before Selma's birthday celebration.Millie chuckled. "Why wouldn't I dare? Winston, get one thing clear. Selma is your biological grandmother, not mine!"She had only refrained from telling Selma about it because Selma treated her well. Millie didn't want Selma to fall ill if she told the latter about the divor
