Chapter 521

Joanna failed to elaborate on her love for him. Baffled by his aloof attitude when they first met, she simply assumed that was his personality. She was proven wrong when she saw him smiling at Millie one day.When Millie was the subject of everyone's derisive laughter, he was the only one who stared at Millie with a frown and warned them not to laugh at her. Through that incident, Joanna finally saw the warmth in Winston's personality.Winston had been close with Millie since their college years; they were glued to each other all the time. Joanna took advantage of their relationship and gradually latched herself onto the duo.From her daily observations of Winston, Joanna found out that he treated Millie differently from how he treated others.Winston would occasionally humor her as she was Millie's friend. It all changed at that time when he lent her a hand after she was hit by a basketball on her way to deliver something to him on Millie's behalf.Ever since that incident, J

"Wait!" Gloria stopped Joanna.Joanna turned to look at her. Gloria wandered over to the bedside table and stared at the flowers and fruits. Then, she swept her gaze across Joanna's face.Moments later, she grabbed all the stuff and tossed them in Joanna's direction. "Take everything with you and get lost! What do you take the room as? Your trashcan?" Her tone was laced with disdain. She didn't hold back at all.Meanwhile, Winston pressed his lips together and settled in the bed in a comfortable position. He started reading the news on his phone.Joanna burst out in tears after Gloria tossed the items at her. "Gloria, did you have to do this to me? I'm here to visit Winston in good faith!""You should be grateful that I didn't force you out!" Gloria grumbled. "Did you not know what you've done? What a thick-skinned pig! I've never seen a young woman behaving this way!"Gloria's criticisms intensified, causing Joanna's expression to freeze.Did Gloria just call her a "thick-ski

"Did you just kick Joanna out like that? Aren't you worried her parents might storm this place?" Winston commented nonchalantly while reading the news.Gloria snorted. "You should be thankful that I showed up. What would you do without me?""I will do the same as you did—throwing her and her stuff out of my room. I might even do it in a ruder way," he replied calmly as he looked up Damien Callister and the current lab Millie worked for on his phone.Gloria shot him a glare. "Had you been tougher on her, she wouldn't even have thought of visiting.""She was here no longer than a few minutes." He turned to Gloria. "I thought you weren't coming tonight.""I had a dinner to attend in the area and dropped by after it ended. I need to talk to you about Millie." Gloria poured herself a glass of water and said before drinking it, "It's—""Is it about the Apex Tower?" He cut her off, much to her surprise."How did you know about that?""Jake dropped by."Gloria chuckled. "Jake is much

"Dr. Caldwell, you received many flowers today! You must be a super charming lady," the person in charge of the event teased Millie.Millie chuckled. "Who sent me flowers? I didn't have time to check them out.""Well, we received flowers from superstar Rachel Shaw, the CEO of Webson Group Jake Webson, Mr. Stringer, and your family. Here's the highlight…" The staff member looked envious when she spoke. "M Base sent you flowers too! M Base!"Millie was surprised to hear that. M Base? Did that rascal Marvin show his support using M Base's reputation?"Is that for real? M Base?" Millie had to feign a shocked expression.The staff member nodded. "Yes, Dr. Caldwell. Do you know anyone from M Base? Have you met M? M is such a mysterious individual who's never shown their face in many years. Sometimes, I wonder if they're a real person."Millie didn't answer the staff member's mumblings. Of course M was real, just that she had been away for years, distracted because she was blinded by lo

A thunderous applause broke out in the room after Millie made the promise. She continued, "But research takes time due to trial and error. Our progress might be slow. As you focus your attention on our research, I hope for your patience too."Damien shot Millie a satisfied look. He was sure that Layla Caldwell's granddaughter would be as brilliant as she was, if not better. With Millie's help, he was confident in seeing a new breakthrough in SH2N's research."Glad to hear that. Thank you, Dr. Caldwell, for the sharing. We would like to thank the Caldwell family for their continuous efforts and support for the research project. Next, we open the floor to questions for Dr. Caldwell." With a smile, the host advanced into the next round.Someone piped up, "Great. Hi, Dr. Caldwell. I'm a reporter from Yerwick Media Inc. I would like to understand the progress of SH2N's development."Millie mused, "After getting our hands on the Aspher, we achieved a breakthrough in our drug development.

The reporter was stunned for a moment after Millie's stinging response. Chuckling, Millie fired back at him, "This event is about SH2N. You've crossed a line by asking me questions about my private life."The other reporters stared at each other and promptly fell silent.Millie took the chance to take charge of the situation, "Does anyone have any more questions about SH2N?"After the reporters shook their heads, she bowed to everyone and thanked them before leaving the stage.Damien stole a glance at Millie before following behind her. He began, "About you and Mr. Greer—"She shut him up. "I don't know him that well."Damien flashed her a helpless grin. How could she not know Winston that well? They were married for a few years, after all!"Mr. Callister, my sole focus is on the research of SH2N. I don't want to participate in any of these unnecessary events in the future."Damien nodded. He respected Millie's feelings, and he admitted that he could have been more thoughtful

Eli turned and gaped at his employer. He always believed that he knew Winston the best, but he hadn't expected him to admit to his regrets in front of the reporters on this occasion.More importantly, this came after Millie shut down the reporters onstage just now. Winston's admission made him look pathetic.A hush fell onto the reporters before they fired questions at him again. "What makes you regret the divorce? If we recall correctly, your marriage to Dr. Caldwell was rather tepid. Most people didn't even know that she was your wife!""Have you only developed an interest in Dr. Caldwell because you lost her?"The reporters didn't hold back. Winston stared at them for a while before replying with a frown, "There's a minor misunderstanding between Millie and me."The reporters looked at each other in silence. He continued, "Now that we've cleared up the misunderstanding, I will continue to communicate with her. If I have a chance, I'll go back to pursuing her."His last remar

Damien narrowed his eyes. "Oh.""I fell for him first." Millie smiled. Now, she could finally tell her story with Winston without getting emotional about it.She let out a sigh and looked out of the window. "Mr. Callister, I lost the bet.""At that time, you might have lost the bet, but that is good news for your current self. Your bright future is about to take off. You've won when a man regrets leaving you," Damien replied seriously with an arched eyebrow.She turned to face him. She asked, "Is that so?"Damien gave her a nod. "He knelt in front of you and revealed his regrets to the media. Millie Caldwell, you won."She smiled. Alas, winning wasn't the most important thing in a relationship. Lovers would always feel like they fell short—that their efforts were never quite enough for each other.What was the point of being in love if it all boiled down to mere winning or losing?They sat in silence until their car arrived at the entrance of the lab. Damien reminded her, "Re

Winston stared at their chat history with mixed feelings.Once again, Millie had blocked her. She'd only unblock his number when she had to reach out to him, and she'd immediately block him when he wasn't needed.That was characteristic of her, though.Winston put away his phone and massaged his forehead in inexplicable frustration. Soon, he rose from his seat and grabbed his jacket. He left his office and said, "Eli, let's go to the pier."Since he felt bothered when he was free, his solution was to make himself busy.Winston leaned against the car seat and scrolled through the comments under the news. He was curious about the public take on the issue when Eli suddenly hit the brakes."Mr. Greer!"Winston jolted forward a little, but he quickly grabbed the handle in the car. Frowning, he asked, "What's wrong?""It's Joanna," Eli revealed exasperatedly.Joanna had placed herself in front of Winston's car by the Greer Tower. Winston's frown deepened at the sight of the woma

When Eli and Winston arrived at the pier, they saw a cargo ship unloading its freight. Winston went up for a closer look and recognized it as Kennedy's ship.Kennedy had not returned the goods abroad. Instead, he had stored them."Hey, who are you looking for?" someone called out to Winston.Winston turned around and saw the person in charge of the area. The brusque man wore a security guard uniform.He frowned at the sight of Winston before scanning him from head to toe. "Are you Winston Greer?"Eli's expression fell. "How dare you address Mr. Greer by his full name?"The man snickered. He couldn't believe that Winston had shown up.Winston pointed at Kennedy's cargo ship. "I want the cargo ship to turn around."The man was taken aback. "Mr. Greer, that ship belongs to Mr. Sullivan.""I know. Make it turn around," Winston said flatly. He had sent out directives prohibiting anyone in the country from importing William's goods, and he intended to enforce that rule.If Kennedy
