Chapter 29
Chapter 29:
“I’ll always support Vivian with Brandon. They just make sense together.”
“Brandon belongs with Vivian, not Millie!”
With every passing hour, the cheers for Vivian and the judgment against Millie only got louder.
Millie barely had time to gather her thoughts before her phone rang.
After a pause, she saw Charles’ name and finally answered.
Charles’ voice erupted with frustration as soon as she picked up. “Vivian’s got some nerve! Did you see the short video she posted? Seriously?! They paid ten million for usage rights, not ownership. Now she’s acting like your song is her masterpiece. Copyright belongs to you, Millie. If anyone should claim that song, it’s you. You ought to sue!”
A soft, thankful smile tugged at Millie’s lips while she listened to him.
She did her best to settle him down. “Mr. Evans, please try to calm yourself.”
“Calm myself? How can I?” said Charles, his anger rising. “You need to stay away from those comments.”
Right now, Vivian is stirring things up, and the crowd online is taking her side! Their praise for her is just ridiculous and disgusting.”
Hearing Charles stand up for her made Millie’s chest feel a little lighter, the warmth of his support settling over her.
“You need to hear me out, Charles.” Millie tried to put his mind at ease. “Right now, all Vivian is doing is making claims. If the song eventually comes out with credit going to ‘Eva’ or ‘Evans Entertainment,’ then her words will all just be empty noise. Suing her would drag Evans Entertainment and Eva into court as the plaintiffs, and that would mean we’d have to reveal the fact that I am Eva. Honestly, I’m just not ready for that yet.”
Gradually, Charles’ anger started to fade as Millie explained her reasoning. Her logic made sense, even if he didn’t like it. Nothing was set in stone until the official release anyway. Get full chapters from.net
Somehow, the sound of his own name coming from Millie grounded him.

“I just hate seeing those awful comments online,” said Charles, letting out a sigh. “Vivian’s taking advantage of you.”
Millie’s eyes wandered to the bustling city outside the window, a quiet laugh escaping her. People on the outside didn’t have the slightest idea who she really was. Even Brandon, of all people, never truly saw her potential. They called her the Bennett family’s pampered princess, nothing more. No one seemed to believe she was anything but spoiled.
After everything that happened with the Bennetts, had anyone ever considered she might try to bring the family glory back?
No one had taken her seriously, and all along, they had been looking right past what she was truly capable of.
Few words left Millie’s lips, but her thoughts stayed sharp. Despite everything, the vicious gossip online did get under her skin. She was used to criticism, but some things still hurt.
Also, Brandon’s opinion lingered at the back of her mind. Did he really believe all the stories about Vivian? Or worse, was he the one pulling the strings behind the scenes?
At that moment, Brandon focused on handling the company’s latest projects. The Watson Group had grown into a powerhouse, leading breakthroughs in global tech, financial ventures, product design, and entertainment. Years ago, most people knew the Watson Group as an old-school, conventional business.
