Everyone in the office turned to watch the commotion. Some even stood at the door and witnessed Joanna being doused in coffee.She sat on the floor, letting the coffee trickle down her cheeks, completely devoid of the strength to fight back. All she could do was cry.Rosie, who had splashed her, set the cup down and looked toward the door.The onlookers exchanged glances, but no one dared to speak. They quickly turned away, pretending not to have witnessed the unfolding scene.However, deep down, there was a sense of satisfaction among them. That was because Joanna had never been one to navigate social situations gracefully.Despite being new to the company, she had already managed to offend many. Her arrogance and disregard for others were glaring flaws that hadn't gone unnoticed. Everyone disliked her and secretly hoped she would be ousted.After all, if Joanna were gone, Rosie would naturally take her place. Hence, they were more than willing to act as if nothing had happened.

"Logan, do you believe me? It wasn't me! I didn't ask Jeremy to do anything. It was all his decision, and it had nothing to do with me!" Tears streamed down Joanna's face as she spoke. She was aware that Jeremy had planned to go after Selma, but she hadn't told him to. That had been entirely his choice, and she had nothing to do with it.Sobbing, she shook her head and repeated, "Logan, it was Jeremy's doing. I had no part in it."Logan's lips parted slightly, the words on the tip of his tongue. But Jeremy was still Joanna's subordinate, wasn't he? How could he possibly convince anyone otherwise?It was impossible to explain, and there was no way to make Winston believe that Joanna hadn't influenced Jeremy's actions."Let me go, Logan. Let me go!" Joanna wanted to leave. She couldn't afford to let the police take her away. If they did, her life would be ruined.She hated Jeremy for taking such a reckless risk. But more than that, she resented Winston.Tears blurred her vision

In the research lab, Millie leaned against the wall, her gaze fixed on the data-processing equipment in front of her. In her hand, her phone streamed live news coverage.While social media buzzed with mixed opinions, the livestream was flooded with comments praising Winston's looks."Putting everything aside, Winston is seriously handsome!" someone gushed."This man is flawless from every angle. He looks incredible, no matter how the reporters capture him. Even in high-definition, he's stunning!"Another viewer wrote, "His looks are second to none! If he entered the entertainment industry, he'd definitely be a big name. Too bad he has a scandalous past. Haha!"Annoyed, Millie quickly disabled the comments.With the eyes of numerous reporters on him, Winston got into his car. They then started to summarize the incident. Millie found it dull and decided to stop watching the livestream.Moments later, social media erupted with screenshots of Winston's latest update.One user pos

With that, Damien led Natalie out.The more Millie thought about it, the more her frustration grew. But at the end of the day, Damien was still the head of the lab. If Layla had been here, Millie was sure Damien wouldn't have made things difficult for her grandmother. In fact, Layla would have taken the initiative, always prioritizing what was best for the lab.Millie shook her head. All she wanted now was to finish the research as soon as possible and disappear.If Terrence's company needed her, she might consider taking over. If not, she'd follow her original plan of studying abroad and switching to jewelry design.But as the thought settled in her mind, her anger only intensified.Millie pulled up a chair, sat down, and grabbed her phone. With a quick swipe, she unblocked Winston and dialed his number.The call went unanswered. Frowning, she tried again, but still nothing.Just as she was about to hurl her phone in frustration, it rang. It was Winston calling.Millie's exp

That evening, Millie arrived at Stratus Kitchen, wearing a white dress layered under a dark coat and carrying a limited-edition handbag.She became the center of attention the moment she stepped into the restaurant. Every gaze seemed to naturally gravitate toward her presence.There was something undeniably elegant and poised about Millie. When she recognized familiar faces, her lips curved into a faint smile. She thanked the server softly as they led her to the table, winning over the crowd.Since Joanna's arrest, it felt like everyone was beginning to see Millie in a new light.From across the room, Millie noticed Winston and Damien. They were engaged in what seemed to be a lively conversation, with Damien laughing heartily.Millie pressed her lips together, took a deep breath, and strode confidently toward them."She's here," Damien stated, spotting her first.Winston turned just as Millie was handing her coat to a nearby waiter. She then rolled up her sleeves and took a seat
