Chapter 1128:
Myron nodded and took her hand as they walked back together.
As their car drove off into the night, another vehicle pulled out from the shadows.
Brandon sat in the back seat, watching their car fade into the distance, his expression dark and unreadable.
At the wheel, Eugene glanced at his employer through the rearview mirror and let out a quiet sigh.
The night was deep, and the wind whispered through the trees as the road stretched ahead.
Each of them was moving forward in their own way.
Millie sat beside Myron as the car glided through the night.
Myron shot her a quick sideways look and noticed the faint shimmer of tears beginning to form in Millie’s eyes. He hesitated, weighing his thoughts, before finally deciding it was time to speak up about something that had been on his mind for a while.
“Millie,” Myron said quietly, breaking the silence.
Millie turned to meet his gaze. “Yeah, what is it p>
City lights streaked past behind them, casting fleeting shadows across Myron’s features as they sped along the nearly empty road.
A gentle smile crossed Myron’s face. “Lately, I’ve been discussing with a few professionals about the best ways to raise kids so they’re ready to inherit not just the business, but the family’s legacy too p>
Before he could finish, Millie seemed to pick up on where the conversation was going, her instincts already warning her what was coming next.
“Ari might still be little, but I think it’s a good idea to start introducing her to some basics,” Myron continued, his smile carrying a quiet warmth, soft yet full of meaning. “Step by step, we can help her grow into someone who truly understands and embodies what matters to our family p>

Millie didn’t know what to say.
Ari wasn’t related to Myron, or to her, by blood. Ari became Millie’s daughter when she adopted her, but she was still not biologically related to the Elliott lineage.
Millie wanted Ari to have everything she could offer, but the fact remained that the wider Elliott family still included Adriana, Jayceon, and others with their own claims. She refused to take Myron for granted.
Millie’s voice came out soft and uncertain as she asked, “Are you sure that’s alright p>
A warm laugh slipped out of Myron. “Listen, most of what the Elliott Group owns came from the businesses I built up myself. That makes them mine in every sense that counts. Ari is our child, so of course she deserves to inherit what’s ours p>
Myron grinned, reaching over to gently smooth Millie’s hair, his touch full of quiet affection.
“There’s no need to worry,” Myron assured her, his tone gentle. “I’ve already arranged for Adriana and Jayceon to receive their portions over the years. People only think the family assets are all lumped together because we’re close, but in reality, we’ve each been running our own businesses for quite some time. They’ve carved out their own paths, and everything I’m setting aside for Ari is solely from what I’ve built p>
Millie found herself pausing, unable to respond right away. A prickling sensation crept up her nose, and her eyes shimmered with unshed tears.
She recalled how her own father had once promised that everything he owned would one day belong to her, always treating her like the sole heir and nurturing her with unwavering devotion.
Yet fate hadn’t been kind…
A thoughtful look crossed her face as she watched Myron, her free hand drifting unconsciously to her stomach.
