Joanna gazed out the window, and suddenly, there was another roar of thunder. The flash of lightning looked like it was about to split the sky open.She drew a sharp breath, saying, "This is terrifying."Winston looked up, a sense of unease settling in his heart.Despite the pouring rain, he could vaguely see Millie slumped over the steering wheel when his car passed by her vehicle. Even after a long while, Millie's car remained stationary. Slumping over the steering wheel, Millie pressed both hands firmly on her ears, attempting to block out the thunder. But for some reason, it was as if the thunder was aware of her fear and roared louder to mock her.When she lifted her head again, her face was pale.Millie pulled a blanket from the backseat to wrap it tightly around herself. The windshield wipers continued moving steadily as she curled into a ball, trying to find solace. Usually, Yerwick should have been bustling with the start of nightlife at 1:00 am. Yet, the rain h

Millie's thoughts were muddled. Hence, she did not notice that Winston was following her.Simon stepped on the accelerator, hoping to leave Winston in the dust. However, the latter sped up, too. As the cars reached the overpass, rain pounded on the windows.Right then, Millie inadvertently spotted Winston's car in the rearview mirror. There was a pause before she turned back to look. "Winston is following us," said Simon. What was he doing there? Wasn't he supposed to take Joanna home?Millie thought about it for a moment, then answered, "Maybe he's just going the same way."But Simon did not think so. He could tell Winston was not going the same way from his accelerating. The two cars raced on the overpass. Winston, with his impressive driving skills, would intermittently find himself side by side with Simon. As Millie looked at Winston's vehicle, she felt a myriad of emotions swirling within her.If he was indeed following them, did that mean he cared about her, even j

Later, Millie had no choice but to call Terence.The man who had insisted on severing ties with her braved the storm and rushed to the villa to keep her company. The next morning, Terence cooked spaghetti bolognese for Millie, too. However, Millie ended up having a heated argument with Terence because he had spoken ill of Winston. In the end, the spaghetti was sent flying everywhere.At that thought, tears welled up in Millie's eyes. She had done nothing wrong to Winston and others but had let her family down. "Why are you crying? Is the spaghetti that good?" Terence took a bite, smacking his lips. "They're alright. They taste just the same! But there's no need to cry over pasta."Millie ignored him. Her head hung low as tears would not stop flowing. Sensing something amiss, Terence hurried to her side and asked, "What's the matter?"Millie raised her head. Her eyes glistened with tears, evoking a sense of pity. She could only reveal her vulnerable side before her family.

Joanna's mouth twitched slightly. There was a hint of unease was evident in her expression."Millie wants to meet M, too?" she wondered."Ms. Lowell, you're really well-connected. You can even meet someone like M. Unlike me, I can only hear stories about him…" Millie remarked, wearing an expression that showed her longing to meet M. Joanna scoffed. Of course, she could meet M. She was the daughter of the Lowell family. Anything she wanted was just a snap of the fingers away. "Although my family is powerful, we can't compare to the Four Great Families. We're still nowhere near your level. Since we're good friends, why not let me broaden my horizons?"Millie would not stop belittling the Caldwells.Joanna raised an eyebrow. Being admired by others was her weakness. She loved the feeling of being worshiped, especially when the person before her was Millie. "I'll have to ask M first," Joanna responded. Millie immediately questioned, "Considering how close you are with M, is it

Millie's words elicited a chuckle from Joanna. "Millie, you're quite strange, aren't you? After all, I'm Win's next wife. Yet, here you are, calmly chatting with me."Joanna could not help but burst into laughter.Millie rubbed her nose, thinking that Joanna was a fool. Of course, she was sitting there to enjoy the spectacle.Putting on an aggrieved expression, Millie responded, "What else can I do? With your cunning ways, I can't possibly outwit you, Ms. Lowell.""It's not that you can't outwit me. It's just that Winston's not backing you up," Joanna countered.With Winston supporting Joanna, she had been able to get away with her antics all these years.Millie never liked it when Joanna spoke. However, she silently acknowledged the truth behind her comment.Millie lowered her head.The corners of Joanna's lips curled into a smirk. She felt satisfied. "What's wrong? Did I hit a nerve?

Joanna's face turned ashen in an instant.Did M block her? She was Joanna Lowell! How could he do that to her?She attempted to send messages to M, but there was only one tick. Every time she tried, her phone froze up.What was happening?Millie, on the other hand, was still looking at Joanna's phone. Seeing that, Joanna quickly turned her screen away, refusing to let Millie have another look.In the next second, Joanna called her assistant and asked, "Why can't I contact M?""Ms. Lowell, did you offend M?""What do you mean?" Joanna bit her lip.Her assistant explained, "Ms. Lowell, y-you've been blacklisted in the black market! M said that from now on, nobody can take your orders. If they do, they'd be in his bad books!"Joanna's face darkened after hearing that. What did this mean?"Ms. Lowell, this is bad… We won't be able to get the Snowdrop anymore."Joanna slumped onto the couch, completely in a daze.But she had not offended M! Wasn't it M who had been standing he

"You're impressive, sweetheart! I can't believe you found the Snowdrop!" Joanna's father exclaimed.Soon, Harriet's voice came through, "Jo, what does the Snowdrop look like? Quick, bring it home and show us!"Jo, our family is about to take things to the next level now! My friends have been calling me, too! They asked if they could see the Snowdrop!"A myriad of emotions flickered across Joanna's face, her hand slowly reaching up to massage her temples. Oh no, the situation seemed to be getting out of hand. What should she do now?Joanna put her phone on silent before tossing it aside. She looked around the empty private room and anger surged within her as she remembered being stood up twice in this very place."Damn it!" Joanna cursed. "Don't let me find out who this person is, or I'll tear them apart!"She rose, picked up her phone, and headed out. Her bodyguard approached. But when he saw that she was furious, he remained silent. As she reached the bar, Joanna was stopp

"Mrs. Greer Senior, we heard you love jewelry. So, we, the Xander family, are giving you a pair of white pearl earrings! We hope you'll accept them!""Mrs. Greer Senior, the Millers mustn't be left out. We've prepared an exquisite emerald bracelet for you!"Selma gazed at the group of middle-aged men before her, a glimmer of amusement in her eyes. The atmosphere was filled with joy and laughter.

When Joanna looked into the hall, even Selma, who had been seated, rose to her feet. However, Joanna knew Selma was not welcoming her, but the Snowdrop. Joanna bit her lip. It was evident that Selma was also intrigued by Snowdrop. She was certain that presenting it would change Selma's view of her.But what would happen if she were to find out that the Snowdrop was fake? "No, I'd never let her find out the truth," Joanna vowed inwardly.With that in mind, she lifted her chin, confidence gleaming in her eyes. "Mrs. Greer Senior!"

Joanna paused as she was about to unwrap the Snowdrop. She stared as Selma dashed toward the door, feeling annoyed. She could not help but bite her lip in frustration. What was so special about Millie? Selma could not even be bothered with the Snowdrop upon learning about Millie's arrival. The doors of the hall were slowly pushed open, and everyone shifted their gazes to the entrance. Gasps of surprise and admiration could be heard when they saw who it was. Even Selma was somewhat taken aback before breaking into a smile. Only her precious Millie could be this stunningly beautiful. Millie was adorned in a silver V-neck mermaid gown, her black hair neatly tied up. Her skin was fair, with just a hint of her chest peeking through the neckline. The gown perfectly accentuated her curves, highlighting her elegant neckline and defined shoulders. Millie's beautiful features were enhanced by flawless makeup. With red lips and alluring doe eyes, she appeared as captivating as a queen
