Chapter 1001:
But Brandon had already made up his mind, and nothing she said was going to change it.
Realizing she had no choice but to give up, Babette shot one last poisonous glare in Millie and Myron’s direction before reluctantly following Brandon toward a discreet exit at the back of the venue.
During the entire walk to their car, Babette was seething with rage and disbelief.
“I can’t believe you’re still thinking about her after everything that happened tonight!” she exploded once they were out of earshot of the other guests. “After what you witnessed in there, how can you not see what kind of manipulative person she really is p>
Brandon kept his eyes focused on the ground in front of him, his expression giving away absolutely nothing about what was going through his mind.
“In my opinion, we never should have given those Bennett family’s things back to her in the first place,” Babette continued her rant. “Brandon, let’s find a way to take them back! We can’t just let Millie walk away with everything and live happily ever after p>

He had to find and capture Macauley as quickly as possible. Once he had Macauley in custody, he would finally be able to tell Millie the complete truth about everything that had happened. And then she would forgive everything he had done and become his again. She had to.
Meanwhile, the night was far from over for everyone else.
Social media and news websites were absolutely exploding with commentary and speculation.
While the earlier discussions about Millie’s business ventures hadn’t attracted much attention from the general public, the news of her upcoming wedding was definitely the kind of story that got people talking. After all, thanks to Vivian’s dramatic antics over the past several months, Millie’s love life had already become a hot topic across the Internet.
“What do you think about what Millie said earlier? Do you really think she can prove herself in the investment world p>
“Hard to say. She did pretty well in the music industry, but the finance world is completely different. Much more cutthroat p>
“Guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens p>
