Chapter 528:
Anyone who still doubted the mermaid video was a marketing stunt for Elliott Group’s new product had their doubts wiped away. The new naked-eye 3D video made that clear.
Johnny’s team jumped into action. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ.net
“This promo is nice, but it still doesn’t top the mermaid video,” someone said.
“Yeah,” another agreed. “That one was better.”
“The mermaid clip told a love story. This one’s just standard advertising.” Heads nodded all around.
Reporters turned toward Millie. “Honestly, this video feels kind of plain. Have you seen the mermaid one going around online?”
“This clearly can’t compete with the mermaid video. What’s your plan to fix this?”
Before Millie could answer, a flashy red Mercedes screeched to a dramatic stop nearby. All eyes turned.
From the driver’s seat stepped out a man wearing a smug smile. It was Oakley Evans.
He walked straight toward Millie. The crowd parted for him, sensing something was about to go down.
Oakley sneered. “Millie. Or do you prefer Serena?”
Millie met him with a soft smile and a slight nod. “Mr. Evans.”
His cold stare didn’t budge. “You helping my hot-headed brother with Heavenly Melody gave me quite the headache.”
Millie kept smiling. She said nothing.
Oakley stepped closer. “Now that Elliott Group is launching a new product, I’m curious. What trick will you pull next?”
Millie lowered her gaze for a moment. Then she looked up and said, “I promise it’ll surprise you, Mr. Evans.”

“Oh?” Oakley raised a brow and sized her up. “I doubt that.”
“Believe it or not, that’s up to you, Mr. Evans,” Millie replied calmly.
She tilted her head slightly and then looked him in the eye, her smile fading just a little. “So, Mr. Evans, did you come here to cause trouble?”
Oakley let out a laugh. “Exactly. You caught on quickly.”
His gaze turned sharp. “I want to see how you plan to sell those jewels when this promo video flops. I’ll wait for you to come crawling, trashing Charles and begging me. Maybe then I’ll be generous enough to help a little.”
But Millie only smiled. She looked dazzling under the camera’s lens.
Without a word to Oakley, she signaled to her team.
The paused video resumed. The crowd turned back to the screen.
The party scene continued, and suddenly, the necklace snapped. The gemstone fell.
As it dropped, the music rose to a soft climax.
The necklace shed its outer layers, revealing a pure blue sapphire.
