Chapter 1008:
Millie was convinced that only by building her own foundation could she claim her place in the world and live with real meaning.
As Myron watched Millie highlighting documents and jotting down plans, a contented smile crossed his face. There was something special about working side by side toward a future they both wanted.
Elsewhere, at the exclusive Blue Lounge, Darden quietly pushed open the door to a private suite and stepped inside.
Spotting Brandon already there, Darden pressed his lips together and hesitated for a moment.

In all that time, only Millie and Vivian had ever gotten close.
Now, with Millie preparing to marry someone else and Vivian nowhere to be found, Brandon’s world felt emptier than ever.
