Chapter 233

Chapter 233:
Charles then stepped out from the shadows and gently draped his coat over her shoulders. He said something to her. Serena looked away, and the two of them walked off together.
Whispers spread. Speculation grew. Public opinion began to shift.
“Vivian has always stayed true to her values. Whether it’s Heavenly Melody or her charity work, she just wants to inspire others before her time runs out.”
“Exactly! She’s almost at the end of her life. Why would she care about pushing Serena down?”
“I heard it’s a family feud—Oakley and Charles. This isn’t about Vivian.”
“Vivian doesn’t even have six months left. Blaming her just seems wrong.”
“Yeah… It’s just too cruel.”
Millie scrolled through the comments and smiled. As expected, Vivian’s illness would always win sympathy.
Charles sat beside her, seething.
“What is he even thinking?” he snapped. They both knew who “he” was. “Should we go with that plan?”
Millie shook her head.
Though they had evidence against Vivian’s PR team, the players involved now were from the Watson Group. That evidence they had wouldn’t help much anymore.
“So, we’re letting her off?” Charles asked through gritted teeth. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn fıillie laughed. “Not a chance.”
“But she—” Charles glanced toward the nearby camera, careful with his words.
“She’s desperate now. And it’s going to cost her,” Millie said calmly.
Charles leaned closer, his eyes lighting up. “You mean…?”

Millie lowered her gaze and began typing on her phone beneath the table. “First, Vivian stabbed Oakley in the back. They may still look like allies, but that kind of betrayal leaves a scar. Second, she used the Watson Group’s resources. Even if she manages to clear her name, her image is already tainted. People will begin to doubt her. Most importantly, she’s panicking. Sympathy only works a few times. Overdo it, and people start getting tired. You can’t fake your way through forever. The more she tries to fix this now, the stronger the backlash later. She used the Watson Group because she’s desperate. That means the end is close.”
Charles nodded quickly as he read her message.
Millie was right.
He was too impatient.
His hot temper had always been a double-edged sword—he got things done, but it brought problems too. He had learned to control it over the years. And if he wanted to keep up with Millie, he had to master patience.
“Look, we’ve already won,” Millie said with a smile, handing her phone to him. Though Vivian was no longer under attack like they had wished, the good news was that Serena was now swimming in praise.
