Chapter 643
Chapter 643:
Charles no longer looked playful. His eyes were shaded with something closer to sadness.
“Charles,” she said softly, but stopped there.
They simply looked at each other until Charles gave a small, resigned smile.
“Alright,” he said with a nod.
She let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.
Charles’s gaze shifted past her.
She turned and saw Giffard standing quietly behind.
He walked over, giving Millie’s shoulder a gentle pat before looking at Charles. The two men exchanged a silent glance.
“Next week, the Watson Group launches their new product. Oakley might use the chance to sell those stocks he holds. My people will be watching. Once the funds circle back, we’ll have proof,” Charles changed the subject and looked at Millie.
Charles reminded himself not to think too far ahead. Working with Millie already gave him the upper hand in his family’s feud. Wishing for more would be greedy.
Since she had someone she liked, he should offer his blessings.
Giffard let out a quiet sigh. “The international seminar in Flaville is coming up. I’ll use it to look deeper into Vivian.”
“Thank you, Giffard. I know it’s a lot to ask,” Millie said.
“It’s nothing. Don’t mention it.” Giffard smiled.
She knew it wasn’t easy, and she knew he helped because he cared for her.
But to her, he was just like her big brother—and she had told him so.
If he’d overheard her conversation with Charles, there was nothing more to say.
She left them to talk and went back inside.
There, Myron was feeding Ari with the ease of a seasoned father. Hearing her, he glanced over, his eyes saying more than his words.
“You’re back?” Myron asked.

“Yeah,” Millie nodded.
They exchanged a silent understanding.
Across the table, Alexia sighed.
