Chapter 401

Winston tightened his grip on his phone and looked up at Caldwell Villa. He stared at the place for a long while before driving away.In the end, he still didn't respond to the designer's text.…When Millie went downstairs for breakfast the next morning, she heard Julia say, "I saw Winston when I came home last night."Millie, calmly eating her breakfast, asked, "Where?""In front of our house." Julia had just finished work when Winston left. She found it odd that he would pass by their villa, so she checked the surveillance footage and saw that his car had been parked at their entrance for nearly half an hour. "Oh," Millie responded simply."Everyone's saying he's about to get engaged to the Lowells' daughter." Julia sipped her coffee and looked at Millie. However, her daughter was unfazed. She continued to eat her sandwich while scrolling through her phone. "Best wishes to them," she replied dismissively.Whether Winston got engaged to Joanna or not was irrelevant to

Millie pointed at the white dress before her. "This dress—" Right then, she overheard a familiar voice by the office door. "In fact, I really like that white dress outside too. If we're short on time, that one will do. It's this—"As the person spoke, they emerged from the office. Millie glanced up, meeting their startled gaze."Millie?"Millie narrowed her eyes. Who else could it be but Joanna? It really was a small world. She couldn't even pick out a gown without running into Joanna.Joanna raised an eyebrow, then broke into a smile. If Millie was at the boutique at this time, it could only mean… "Are you here to find a dress for the cruise party?" she asked.Millie pressed her lips together and calmly answered, "Yes.""What a coincidence! I'll be there too," Joanna replied, crinkling her eyes slightly, a gesture that only made her look even more beautiful.Millie nodded. She wasn't surprised at all. After all, the cruise party was the kind of event that wealthy families

Joanna froze, staring in disbelief at her hand, which Leah had pushed away. She couldn't believe that Leah had shoved her aside and rushed over to Millie. Just moments ago, Leah had been so welcoming in her office. Joanna looked up, only to see Leah circling Millie."Oh my, Millie! This is my first time meeting you, and you're gorgeous!" Leah praised with a smile.She continued, "I'd heard from your mother that you had a model's figure, but I thought she was exaggerating. Now that I see you, I'm truly impressed!"Designing clothes for someone like you will be effortless. You'd look amazing in anything! Let's get your measurements. I already have some ideas that will make you the center of attention!" Leah's flood of compliments left Millie blushing and unable to respond. Behind them, Joanna's face turned pale as she watched Leah fawn over Millie. Joanna chuckled wryly and asked, "Leah, didn't you say you weren't taking on any new clients?"Leah turned around and laughed heart

Stunned, Joanna could only retreat a few steps."Mr. Greer," Leah greeted with a nod. Right then, Winston's gaze fell on Millie. He was somewhat surprised to see her there. Was she there to choose a gown for the cruise party?Millie, however, merely glanced at him and chose not to say hello."Have you taken the measurements?" Winston asked as he approached Leah. Leah smiled and pointed to a nearby couch, suggesting that everyone take a seat. As she walked, she replied, "Yes, I've taken Ms. Lowell's measurements and determined her preferred style."Then, she asked, "Mr. Greer, should your suit be designed to match her gown?"Millie settled into the armchair, casually crossed her legs, and leaned back. She then texted Rachel. Millie: "Can you believe it? I can't even shop for a gown without running into my ex and that pretentious bitch. This is so frustrating!"Rachel: "The world is so small. Let's hope they vanish."Millie's lips curved into a faint smile as she read the re

Joanna couldn't help but glance at Winston, swallowing the words on the tip of her tongue.Having already put on her sunglasses and bid Leah goodbye, Millie cast one last look at the couple after hearing Winston's response. Despite Joanna's firm belief in their love, she wasn't as happy as she had hoped. Winston seemed less caring toward her than he had been in the past.After Millie left, Winston and Joanna followed suit. When they came out of the store, Joanna stood by the car. Winston was puzzled as to why she wasn't getting in. "Joanna?" he called. Joanna, gripping the car door handle, fixed her gaze on Winston. Her eyes were filled with confusion as she asked, "Win, tell me the truth. Do you have feelings for me or not?""Not again, Joanna." Winston found it frustrating that she kept asking the same question and always brought up how she had once saved him. Joanna pressed further, "Why didn't you ask them to send my gown along with yours? I could just come by your place

"Why do you need the herb?" Winston asked."I just heard it's very rare, so I want to collect it. What if it comes in handy later? Like the Snowdrop last time…"Mentioning the Snowdrop made Joanna sigh. She would never forget about that incident. Millie had really humiliated her. "I still need it, so I can't give it to you," Winston refused outright. Joanna was displeased. "Didn't you say you weren't giving it to William anymore? So why can't I have it? Win, it's just a herb. If it's about money, I can pay for it.""It's not about the money." Winston turned her down again. He couldn't give her the Aspher, no matter what."Are you planning to give it to someone else?" Joanna asked, puzzled. Winston wasn't the type to hold onto things just for the sake of it. If he wasn't willing to give it to her, it meant he had use for it."Yes," Winston answered, choosing not to lie to Joanna.When she heard his response, she huffed. "Fine, everyone else is more important than me. Just gi

Marvin showed Millie the text, and she was livid. Who the hell was this?"Boss, who do you think brought the Aspher to Musbane?" Marvin suddenly realized an important detail. Wasn't there only one person from Yerwick City who traveled to Musbane? They exchanged glances, and Millie suddenly exclaimed, "Winston!" Marvin snapped his fingers and said, "That's right! Who else but Winston?""But at that time, the Aspher was missing. William didn't manage to win the auction for it. Could someone else have won the bid? Maybe this person is rushing to sell it because they need quick cash?" Millie asked.Marvin quickly shook his head. "No way. They said the price wasn't an issue." "Then it must be Winston." Millie unfastened her seatbelt and decided to meet him. She wanted to know what exactly he was up to. If he genuinely wanted to give her the Aspher, why not just hand it over? Why insist she pick it up in person?Did Winston want Millie to thank him face-to-face? What a hypocrite!

With a smile, Millie responded, "Aren't you a herbal researcher? You probably have a better idea of the price. Just go ahead and name it."But Paxton clearly didn't want to. Millie figured he was afraid of lowballing himself. So, she raised her hand and held up three fingers."300 thousand dollars? Sure," Paxton agreed without hesitation.Millie coughed in surprise. 300 thousand dollars? He agreed to 300 thousand dollars just like that? Did he have any clue about the market price?Paxton noticed her reaction right after he spoke. Did he offer too low a price? Was she expecting three million dollars?"Uh, I was just joking." Paxton hurriedly waved. He quickly salvaged his reputation by adding, "The Aspher is such a valuable herb. How could I possibly sell it for 300 thousand dollars? Three million sounds more like it."However, Millie narrowed her eyes suspiciously. Could this be a counterfeit herb he stole? "Open it up. I need to check it," she said bluntly.Paxton eagerly bro

Back at M Base, Millie ran another check on the Aspher. Once she confirmed that everything was in order, she repackaged it and uploaded the data and photos to the M system. Marvin observed as she worked through each step. Yvonne, on the other hand, rested her chin on her hand, watching intently. "Boss, what's the Aspher for?""My grandfather wants to give it to my grandmother," Millie answered.Yvonne tilted her head and exclaimed, "Wow, Mr. Caldwell Senior is so romantic! The Aspher is truly beautiful!"Her words got a chuckle out of Millie. "Romantic? Do you think it's because of how pretty it is? To Grandma, it's just another medicinal ingredient."Arthur knew Layla needed the Aspher, so he went out of his way to get it for her. That was just how the Caldwell men were. They would always find ways to spoil their wives.The blue smart screen flashed "Import Successful". Millie snapped her fingers, indicating that the job was done. "I'm taking the Aspher home now," Millie anno

Layla's lack of interest was obvious, and Arthur couldn't help but feel disheartened. Thus, Millie could only help her grandfather. She chimed in, "Grandma, it's a rare herb, you know."Upon hearing those words, Layla narrowed her eyes. A herb? If it was an herb, then she was definitely interested. Arthur sighed and commented, "See that, Mills? Your grandmother is more interested in herbs than anything else. Even more than me!"Millie chuckled as she grabbed a bag of chips. The moment Layla learned that it was an herb, she began carefully unwrapping the box. She slowly peeled away the layers of wrapping. As soon as the box opened and the Aspher came into view, her eyes lit up with joy. Layla looked up at Millie, then at Arthur. She was so overwhelmed with excitement that she struggled to find the words.Was it Aspher? Did Millie and Arthur really get her the rare herb?"Is this really Aspher?" Layla asked in disbelief. Millie nodded firmly. That was indeed Aspher. "Gran
