Chapter 226:
Something fundamental had shifted within Millie’s essence, though he remained frustratingly unable to identify the exact nature of that transformation.
The performance reached its conclusion as applause erupted around him, and he found himself joining the ovation despite his confusion. Though he understood rationally that the masked woman represented Charles’ romantic partner rather than Millie, he couldn’t suppress his admiration for her extraordinary skill and raw talent.
Close beside him, Jayceon erupted into wild celebration, his enthusiasm infectious and unbridled. “Myron, did your ears capture that absolute magic? Sweet mercy, this performance transcended phenomenal! Thank the stars we decided to attend this particular show. Live audio delivers such richness that no recording could ever capture. Every second proved absolutely worthwhile!”
Next to him, Myron—who had endured Jayceon’s excited shaking throughout the entire performance—applauded enthusiastically while nodding his complete agreement.
By the time the final notes faded into memory, every person in attendance, with the notable exception of the seething Vivian, found themselves overwhelmed with nothing but pure, unadulterated admiration.
Millie allowed her gaze to linger briefly on Brandon before deliberately looking away. She caught sight of Barbara positioned at the stage’s periphery, nodding and clapping with unmistakable enthusiasm—a clear signal of Charles’ triumphant success.
Every intricate piece of their elaborate strategy had fallen perfectly into place, creating a symphony of coordination. The performance concluded with flawless precision as Millie gracefully retreated from the spotlight.
Charles rushed toward her, his excitement radiating from every step.
“How did everything unfold on your end?” Millie inquired, her smile radiating quiet satisfaction.
“Beyond magnificent!” Charles erupted with joyful laughter, still riding the high from his earlier confrontation with Oakley, which had left him feeling gloriously vindicated. He carefully steadied Millie’s elaborate dress while supporting her arm. “Every aspect remains completely under our control.”
Step into a new journey on.con
Charles glowed with immense pride, knowing he and Millie had orchestrated this stunning victory as true partners.
“From this point forward, success depends entirely on our company’s marketing specialists, working in perfect coordination with Seville and Alexia’s efforts,” Millie explained with quiet confidence.
They shared a meaningful smile that spoke volumes, their understanding transcending the need for any further words.
Meanwhile, Brandon observed them from a distance, feeling an unexpected surge of jealousy that caught him completely off guard.
Side by side, Millie and Charles slipped behind the scenes. As they moved through the narrow staff hallway, Vivian’s silhouette caught their attention near the wall.
Something in her expression had shifted—nervous energy had replaced her usual calm.
