Semua Bab She's Out of Your League Now: Bab 701 - Bab 710

Terrence raised his hand and gave Millie a gentle tap on the head. "Hey! What kind of nonsense are you talking about now?"Millie grinned as she hugged his arm tightly. "Dad, I love you so much.""Yeah, right. You love me so much that you wanted to cut me off," Terrence shot back. It was clear that he was still holding a grudge.Millie pouted. "Dad…""Don't 'Dad' me! I was your father then too, but that didn't stop you from leaving. You only thought about coming back after he hurt you!" Terrence huffed.He couldn't even begin to express how heartbroken he felt. He had always put family first, yet his daughter had severed ties with him over a man. The disappointment ran deep."Dad, I was immature back then. I won't cause you any more trouble," Millie replied. She knew how much she had hurt him and vowed never to repeat that mistake."Alright, enough of that," Terrence said with a sigh, patting her arm. "Families are meant to be a bit of a bother. Just promise you won't complain a

"Congratulations on the exhibition, Ms. Knight," Millie said politely.Ivory smiled, just as courteous. "Thank you, Ms. Caldwell. I appreciate you coming.""My apologies for showing up uninvited. Since Rachel couldn't make it, I came in her place. I know I wasn't on the guest list, so I hope that's okay."Millie smiled pleasantly as she spoke. However, her words subtly pointed out the missing invitation while also explaining why she was there.Ivory felt somewhat awkward. She hadn't intended to invite the Caldwells, after all.Firstly, it didn't seem appropriate, considering that Julia was a well-known designer in her own right. Their areas of expertise were different—Julia was in fashion, while Ivory specialized in jewelry.On top of that, her relationship with Millie was somewhat complicated, and she had already invited Winston.So, after considering everything, Ivory decided not to invite Millie. Nonetheless, she showed up unexpectedly."There's no need for you to feel uncom

A flicker of surprise crossed Natalie's face. She could hardly believe the seemingly insignificant B-list celebrity in front of her was Thomas' daughter."So, her dad used his connections to make her famous?" Natalie quickly seized another opportunity to criticize.Millie didn't respond. Arguing with someone like Natalie was pointless. Trolls like her always had a comeback."Everly's talented. She would've made it even without her father's help. Not everyone gets things handed to them on a silver platter like you," Millie retorted, deciding she wasn't going to hold back anymore.Before Natalie could respond, Everly appeared in front of them. She eyed Milie with surprise and asked, "What are you doing here, Mills?"When she was at the hospital, Everly had mentioned she had received an invitation from Aurora Jewels, but Millie hadn't said anything about getting one. So why was she here?"Why is it so surprising?" Millie countered.Everly clicked her tongue. "Of course it's surpris

Noah noticed Everly walking over from where Millie had been standing. "That's your cousin, right?" he asked.Everly nodded, her demeanor softening. "Yes, doesn't she look even more beautiful in person? The media never does her justice.""You're right," Noah replied with a smile.Everly sighed and added, "She's always been the prettiest in the family."She glanced over at Millie as she spoke, the familiar pang of envy creeping in. For years, her hostility had been driven purely by jealousy.However, if any outsider tried to mess with Millie, Everly wouldn't hesitate to step in. Millie was still her cousin, after all.Everly had spent those first few years with the Caldwells on edge, fearing they might treat her differently or look down on her. But they never did. In fact, Millie had been the first to show her kindness. Everly wasn't ungrateful. She remembered everything clearly. Her harsh and aloof attitude was merely her way of shielding herself."You're not so bad yourself,"

As soon as Millie turned, she saw Winston and Ivory standing behind her.Ivory looked stunning today, feminine and elegant. For the first time, Millie thought they actually looked like a perfect match. In the past, she had always found Ivory too delicate, not a good fit for Winston at all.Winston was dressed in a black suit. One glance was enough for Millie to see it was custom-made, fitting him perfectly and emphasizing his strong frame. He exuded both grace and sophistication.With a smile, Millie greeted them, "Ms. Knight, Mr. Greer.""I figured you two know each other, so I brought Mr. Greer over to say hello," Ivory said with a smile.Millie's smile faltered at those words. "Knew each other" didn't even begin to cover it, and of course, Ivory knew exactly what had happened between them. She was doing this on purpose.Nevertheless, Millie wasn't in the mood to hold it against her. People who knew the truth didn't need it explained.Winston's gaze was intense as he stared
