Chapter 1110:
At that very moment, Millie was treating Alexia to a relaxing spa day at the same salon she had once visited with Helga. From beginning to end, she was never worried about what Babette thought or did. Her only intention was to thank Alexia for helping her uncover the truth about Spencer’s case.
After changing into their spa robes, the two settled comfortably in the lounge. Millie turned to Alexia with a grateful smile. “Now that everything with Spencer’s mother has been sorted out,” she said, her voice light with relief, “things at Yaroslav Technology should finally calm down. I really can’t thank you enough for all you did, Alexia p>
Alexia laughed, bringing her lemonade to her lips. “Oh, please. Don’t make it sound like I did something huge. I actually got a lot out of it myself.” Then, with a teasing grin, she added, “But if you’re feeling thankful, how about covering all my spa bills for the next twelve months? Fair deal p>
Millie let out a soft laugh. “You’ve got yourself a deal p>
Changing the subject, she asked, “So, how are things going with Sheridan these days p>
Alexia shrugged, smiling faintly. “Same as always. Complicated, but manageable p>
The two continued chatting, their conversation flowing easily as laughter filled the quiet space.
Just then, the glass doors of the salon swung open. The sudden commotion drew everyone’s attention.
Two women stepped inside, and the receptionist instantly hurried to greet them. Even the manager came out personally—a clear sign they were VIP clients.
Millie and Alexia glanced up as well, curious about the sudden stir, only to see someone heading straight toward them.
It was Babette, with another woman at her side.

The moment Babette’s eyes landed on Millie, her expression shifted—her pleasant facade twisting into something sharp and spiteful.
Lately, Babette had been on edge, but after managing to put pressure on Millie, her mood had noticeably lifted. Feeling pleased with herself, she’d invited a friend who had given her a loan to join her for a beauty session. The woman beside her was Adalyn Castillo.
“Adalyn,” Babette said with a sly smile, her tone dripping with sarcasm, “I was wondering why the atmosphere felt so strange in here today. Now I see why p>
Alexia immediately caught the edge in Babette’s tone and started to rise, but Millie placed a calming hand on her arm and shook her head gently.
Babette noticed the gesture and smirked, her satisfaction evident.
“That’s right. Listen to her and stay seated,” she said coolly, her gaze turning to Millie. “Considering your recent streak of bad luck and financial troubles, it’s probably best not to draw attention to yourself p>
“Babette, that’s enough!” Alexia shot back, anger flashing in her voice.
But Babette only lifted a shoulder in mock indifference and turned to Adalyn with a smirk. “What can I say? The air feels thick with misfortune today p>
Adalyn blinked knowingly and replied with a faint smile. “I know, right p>
Babette gave a low chuckle, then turned toward the manager. “What’s going on here? Aren’t you supposed to screen your clients?” she said in a deliberately loud voice. “The energy in this place feels… off. Almost like bad luck is floating around p>
The manager glanced uneasily between Millie and Babette, unsure how to intervene. Forcing a strained smile, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and stayed silent.
