Chapter 240
Chapter 240:
While talk of Serena dominated the online world, breaking news suddenly took over the trending feed—a headline blared: “Scandal Alert! Millie and Charles Caught Together Repeatedly, Sparks Fly Between the Two.”
News of the “scandalous affair” barely had time to settle before Brandon issued instructions to Eugene.
“Reach out to Evans Entertainment. Track down Eva and see about drafting a new contract. The payment can be negotiated,” Brandon said, his voice calm and controlled.
Vivian had boldly claimed Eva’s song as her own creation, and although he disagreed with how things had unfolded, the aftermath still had to be dealt with.
After relaying his orders, Brandon found his thoughts drifting back to Millie. He wondered, almost against his will, how she would have handled such a problem.
A faint shake of his head dismissed the thought.
Millie, he knew, would never have allowed herself to get caught up in such a scandal—issues like these wouldn’t have phased her at all.
A fleeting image flashed through his mind: Millie’s laughter as she strolled with that little girl, her happiness so evident even behind a mask.
Moments like that felt like a distant memory—when was the last time he had seen her look so content?
With chaos swirling around him, Brandon pressed his fingers to his temples, trying to ease the ache beginning behind his eyes.
Just then, Eugene hurried into the room, his steps quick and urgent. “Mr. Watson, there’s been a development regarding Mrs. Watson…” he said, hesitating only briefly before handing Brandon the tablet.
There was nothing more Eugene could do; the situation had already slipped beyond his control.
Brandon took the tablet, his eyes scanning a series of snapshots—Millie laughing with Charles as they moved in and out of the Evans Entertainment offices. This text is hosted at fihoto after photo captured Charles stopping by the hospital while Millie had been admitted, his presence making it impossible to ignore.
One of the latest updates was a brief video—Millie, carrying a young girl whose face was artfully blurred, disappearing into a private dining suite. Not long after, Charles followed behind, his arms full of children’s gifts.
A bold headline screamed from the top of the post: “Brandon Watson Duped? Millie’s Disappeared for Weeks, Only to Emerge in an Intimate Family Scene with Charles Evans!”
“Bang!” A thunderous crash echoed as Brandon slammed the tablet down with all his might.
Alarm shot through Eugene’s voice. “Mr. Watson! Please—”
Anger surged inside Brandon, boiling over.
A moment earlier, he had pictured Millie’s laughter and warmth with that child, imagining her content. Had all that joy really come from her time with Charles?
Wasn’t Giffard’s involvement already enough—now Charles was part of it too?
