Chapter 1497
Taylor had finished setting up the equipment, and Millie glanced at Myron, giving him a small nod.
Within three days, stories about Millie were spreading everywhere. A moment earlier, someone had even claimed that a car was parked in front of JM Investments. The rumors were so detailed they almost sounded real. People everywhere were talking about them.
Right then, JM Investments announced a live stream. Crowds of curious viewers poured in at once.
Five minutes later, the stream started. As the equipment adjusted, the picture slowly turned clear, revealing Taylor’s face on the screen.
“Today, JM Investments has something exciting to share with everyone,” Taylor declared.
A moment later, a wheelchair came into view, with Millie seated calmly in it. She faced the camera with a gentle smile.
“Hello, everyone. It’s Millie. I’m back.”
Millie said softly, “I’m back.”
The comment section exploded the moment her voice landed. The hashtag #MillieIsBack shot straight to the top. More people rushed into the stream, and the feed started freezing.
“As expected, only Millie can make every powerful figure in Crobert move at once!”
“Right? She barely said anything and I’m already fired up!”
“I don’t know why I’m tearing up. Maybe it’s because last year’s tragedy still hurts.”
Messages kept pouring in nonstop. Thankfully, the tip feature had been turned off from the start; otherwise, the stream would have collapsed completely. The tech team scrambled to fix the issue, and things stabilized after a short while, though the viewer count kept climbing.
Many viewers began spamming questions.
“So many things to answer.” Millie smiled and picked a few.
“Yes, I’ll be managing JM Investments again. We’re recruiting, so check our official site for openings.”
“Since I’m back, of course I’ll push JM Investments to new heights.”
“The company’s direction stays the same. Again, more info is on our website.”
“The wheelchair? It’s only temporary. With rehab, I’ll walk again.”
“Yes, I heard from the police that those two are gone. The case is closed. You can read the police report if you’re interested in more details.”
“I won’t talk too much about my private life. Just remember this: Myron is my husband, and Ari is our child.”
After a short appearance, Millie ended the broadcast, leaving the staff to handle the remaining stream. But that brief moment was enough to ignite the entire public. #MillieAwakens, #MillieLiveStream, #MillieQandA, and countless other tags filled the trending list.
“Not surprising. Crobert has been too quiet for too long, and Millie’s return just overturned everything.”
“So this is what shaking up a city looks like.”
“JM employees are celebrating. I heard Millie gave everyone a raise and bonuses.”
“Lucky people! I want a job there too!”
At JM Investments, Millie held a short online meeting with the MKK team from her office. She chatted warmly with Archie, then organized her desk before calling Taylor inside.
“Is everything set?” Millie asked.
Taylor straightened immediately. “Yes, everything’s ready, Millie.”
“Good.” Millie nodded and gave Ari’s cheek a playful squeeze before glancing at Myron. “Ronnie, I’m heading out.”
Myron smiled. “Go ahead.”
