Chapter 1111:
Millie, unwilling to waste another moment on Babette, stood up and motioned for Alexia to leave with her.
But before they could step away, Babette moved quickly, blocking their path. “What’s this? Leaving already?” she mocked, a cruel smile curving her lips. “If you can’t handle a little pressure, maybe you shouldn’t be in the game at all p>
Millie stopped and turned, calmly putting herself between Babette and Alexia. Her voice remained steady as she spoke. “Babette, there’s no reason for this. We don’t have any personal grudge. You don’t need to act like this p>
Babette burst out laughing. “You really do play the innocent card well p>
The memory of their recent conflict flashed through her mind, reigniting the bitterness she felt. Yet seeing Millie cornered like this brought her a twisted sense of satisfaction.
Babette stepped closer, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor, and looked Millie straight in the eye. “So, tell me—does this mean you’ve finally admitted defeat p>
Millie met her gaze, unflinching. Her expression was unreadable, calm yet firm.
“Babette,” she said quietly, “you should learn to leave yourself some room. Don’t burn every bridge—you might need one someday p>
Babette let out a short, scornful laugh. “Still trying to sound noble?” she mocked, casting a quick glance at Alexia before turning back to Millie. “Enjoy your spa days while you can—soon enough, you might not even be able to afford them p>
She tilted her head toward Alexia, smirking. “That goes for you, too p>
With that, Babette threw her head back and laughed.
Millie didn’t say a word. She simply stood there, calm and composed, refusing to give Babette the satisfaction of a reaction.
Babette’s lips curved into a cold smirk. “Good. Silence suits you best. Next time you open your mouth, Millie, it’ll be to beg.” With a snap of her fingers, she turned to her companion. “Adalyn, we’re leaving p>

Adalyn followed, shooting Millie a look filled with open disdain. The manager, unsure how to handle the tension, gave Millie a nervous nod before hurrying after them.
Their laughter echoed down the hallway—a sharp, triumphant sound that lingered long after they were gone.
For a moment, neither Millie nor Alexia spoke. The air still felt heavy with Babette’s venomous words.
“Why didn’t you let me say something back?” Alexia burst out, her eyes flashing with anger. “That woman makes my blood boil p>
Millie’s gaze remained fixed on the direction Babette had gone. Her tone was even, almost serene. “There’s no point arguing with someone like her p>
Turning to Alexia, she added, “She’s lost her sense of reason—acting purely on emotion now. People like that can’t make clear decisions p>
Alexia frowned slightly, not fully grasping what Millie meant.
Millie’s expression softened into a smile. “Forget her. Let’s get back to our spa session and unwind. Too much stress leads to wrinkles, you know p>
At that, Alexia gasped and quickly covered her face, making Millie laugh. She reached out and gave Alexia’s forehead a playful tap.
Still teasing and laughing, the two walked back inside their spa room.
