Chapter 1125:
“What comes next?” Babette released a bitter, frustrated laugh. “There is no next. I still possess considerable assets, along with the entire Watson family backing me. Meanwhile, you’re just some fortunate nobody who stumbled into a bit of wealth. You’re completely insignificant p>
Millie maintained her silence, her unwavering stare fixed directly on Babette.
Her unshakeable calm only intensified Babette’s explosive anger.
“Your father is gone. The Bennett family collapsed into ruins ages ago, and you’re p>
“I have plenty of reasons to feel satisfied.” Before Babette could complete her vicious statement, Millie cut her off decisively.
Initially, she’d planned to avoid arguing with Babette over financial losses, but she absolutely would not tolerate anyone speaking disrespectfully about her father and the Bennett family legacy.
Observing Babette’s expression freeze before contorting into even more intense fury, Millie intentionally stepped forward, reducing the space between them.
Meeting Babette’s eyes directly, she stated with perfect calm, “Babette, I provided you with a clear warning, but you chose to ignore it completely p>
She’d explicitly cautioned Babette during their encounter at the beauty salon. Babette had deliberately made herself a target, and now she wanted to shift the blame?
“You’re entirely responsible for your own financial disaster,” Millie continued firmly.
“Millie Bennett!” Babette’s voice erupted in a furious shout.
Millie’s lips curved into a gentle smile. “Babette, did I force you to investigate my financial activities? Did I demand you invade my privacy? Did I insist you make those investments?” she stated plainly. “Every single choice was yours alone. I never coerced you into anything p>
“Millie, you p>

“What about me?” Millie replied, observing the seething Babette. “We’re both mature adults who need to accept responsibility for our decisions. Babette, truthfully, if Brandon hadn’t counseled you to minimize your losses when he did, you might have hemorrhaged far more money. You should actually be expressing gratitude p>
The restroom’s fluorescent lighting blazed brilliantly overhead, yet the atmosphere felt oppressively charged.
Babette nearly confessed her own careless mistakes but managed to catch herself at the last possible second. She couldn’t allow Millie to discover the true extent of her blunders and devastating losses.
Therefore, Babette pivoted to a different cruel tactic to hurt Millie.
“That’s right, I’m blessed with an exceptional cousin who genuinely cares about me, which is something you’ll never experience. Unlike you, Millie—your entire family has been wiped out! Oh wait, my mistake, you do have a mother, but she might as well not exist for all the good she does you. Haha p>
Millie studied Babette’s tense expression, her own face composed.
“Is that all you ever do? Bringing up the same things over and over just to mock me?” she said evenly.
“Sure, the fall of the Bennett family made things difficult for me. But what my father left behind is something you’ll never truly understand—or have. Even now, the difference between us is clear p>
Her voice was calm, unshaken by Babette’s provocation.
