Chapter 464
Chapter 464:
After dropping Ari off at the children’s home, Myron drove Millie home. He considered walking her to her door but held back. They weren’t together yet, and until she gave the green light, it wouldn’t be right. He smiled warmly. “Let’s stick to what we discussed. We’ll go over everything else tomorrow.”
Millie nodded and waved as she stepped out of the car.
They had already reached an understanding earlier that day at the Elliott Group’s secret vault. Later, as they watched Ari play with the cat at his place, they went over their plans and prepared for what was ahead.
Tomorrow, once the market opened, Watson Group’s stock would plummet.
Two outcomes were likely.
One: the company’s market value would nosedive.
Two: Watson Group would scramble to recover, prompting desperate countermeasures.
But Crobert’s regulations were stricter than in many other places. Actions had to follow the rules. The consequences for overstepping could be serious.
“Good night,” Myron said. “I’ll stay here and watch you go in.” Millie gave a nod and entered the building.
As she got inside the elevator, her emotions stirred—part anticipation, part uncertainty.
“Ding!” She reached her floor, stepped inside her apartment, and walked to the balcony.
From there, she saw the Bentley still parked below. He was standing beside it, looking up at her. She waved.
“I’m home,” she texted.
“Got it,” he replied with a voice message, his tone soft.
They didn’t exchange more. He stayed there, gazing up. She stood above, looking down.
After a while, he said, “Go inside. The wind is picking up and it’s cold on the balcony.”
Only after watching her disappear from view did he drive away.
Millie remained by the window, watching until his car was gone.
Once, she had waited like this for Brandon. Night after night.
Now… it felt strangely comforting to be on the other side.
As she washed her face, that thought stayed with her. It grounded her. Then, sitting on the couch, she made a call.
Charles answered quickly. He had been dealing with rising tensions inside the Evans family. Since Serena had been revealed as Millie’s rival and Millie had won the championship, Heavenly Melody had surged in popularity. Charles’ value had grown, which made Reuben and Oakley increasingly uneasy. Trouble kept brewing.
“Hey, Millie,” he said with a sigh, slumping onto his sofa. Thɪs chapter is updated by.net
“Did you see the news today?” she asked, turning on her TV.
