Chapter 764
Chapter 764:
She had prepared herself for Giffard’s possible failure. Like Charles’ friend, he might have returned empty-handed. She never imagined he had actually gotten something incriminating—and that he could face jail time due to how he obtained the information. And that burden, she told herself, was hers to carry.
Giffard wanted to argue, but Millie’s steady gaze stopped him. “Okay,” he said softly, surrendering to her resolve.
Not far away, Brandon still clutched the safe, his eyes fixed on Millie. He opened his mouth, but another voice cut through.
“So lively, isn’t it p>
All heads turned. Vivian had arrived, her assistant following with equipment and a streaming device.
At once, Myron grasped Millie’s intent and quickly ushered Giffard back into their car, keeping him out of sight of the camera.
Vivian strolled forward with a sweet smile. “Why is everyone gathered here?” she asked lightly, eyeing Millie’s coat. “Millie, aren’t you supposed to be at your concert? What are you doing here p>
Myron frowned and tried to say something, but Millie stopped him with a glance. Vivian noticed and at once switched to a pitiful look, as if frightened.
Brandon tensed, but before he could speak, Vivian turned to him. “Brandon, are you taking her side too p>
Her words cornered him.
Then Vivian faced Millie again, wide-eyed. “Millie, what are you planning to do to me p>
The camera in her assistant’s hand caught everything, and viewers poured in.
Millie met her gaze and answered calmly, “I do plan to do something p>
Vivian froze, not expecting such a reply.
With steady steps, Millie walked forward. Myron made a move to follow, but she stopped him with a firm gesture and went on alone. Her eyes locked on Vivian as she closed the distance, stopping right before her. Vivian trembled, her eyes rimmed red, shrinking back as though Millie’s presence itself was a threat.

The scene looked damning, as though Millie was bullying her.
The live chat buzzed with comments.
“Millie… what are you going to do?” Vivian cried.
“I want answers,” Millie replied, her voice calm but unwavering. She didn’t look away.
“Answers? What answers?” Vivian echoed, then glanced at Brandon, who kept his silence, and feigned realization. “Oh… is this about Brandon? I thought you were with Myron now p>
She was hinting at betrayal.
“No,” Millie said evenly, not sparing Brandon a glance. “Vivian, do you remember what you’ve done these past few months? Every single one of them p>
Vivian’s brow furrowed. She had no idea what Millie was hinting at. Millie’s sudden appearance was not part of her plan. She wasn’t even supposed to show up.
“Do you need me to remind you?” Millie asked.
