Chapter 347:
“Wasn’t serious? Are you kidding me? You pushed her! Did you forget?” Alexia stormed toward Brandon, ready to lash out. “Do you even realize that she—”
“Alexia!” Giffard caught her by the arm and pulled her back.
That only fueled Alexia’s anger. “So you’re defending him now?”
Her mind kept flashing back to Millie, lying there, blood everywhere.
“How could you? You know as well as I do just how Millie has been getting by lately…” Alexia’s eyes welled up, her words shaky.
Giffard answered with a slow shake of his head, quietly stopping her from continuing.
Brandon, lost in his own world, didn’t even hear them talking. His attention was glued to Millie, just as she came out of an office nearby.
A warning came from Lynda. “They’re still searching for you, so stay alert.” Millie managed a quiet response. “I will. I just—”
At that moment, Brandon stepped up beside them.
“We need to talk.” His eyes were rimmed red as he grabbed Millie’s wrist tightly. Lynda sized up the situation, glancing between Brandon and Millie with concern.
She was ready to step in if Millie said no.
Before Millie could answer, Brandon added, “I mean about the 9 a.m. tomorrow.” Millie had just gotten the full story from Alexia and Lynda.
At first, she believed there was nothing left for her and Brandon to discuss. Then he mentioned the “9 a.m.” matter. That was the time they had set to collect their divorce decree.
Her right hand balled into a fist, but eventually, Millie gave a nod.
“Alright,” she said.
With everything going on, she realized that if they didn’t clear things up now, she might not get the divorce decree tomorrow.
Brandon offered a suggestion. “My car is parked outside. Let’s have our talk there.” The rightful source is fiiscover more gαℓησvℯ𝓁s․com
Without hesitation, Millie nodded.
Being at the police station gave her confidence that nothing would go wrong. She flashed a small smile to Lynda and gave her a nod before heading out with Brandon.
Behind them, Alexia was filled with worry.
She turned to her brother. “Giffard, do you think Brandon will hurt Millie?”
He waved her concerns away. “This is the police station. Brandon isn’t about to do anything rash.”
That made sense.
Relief washed over Alexia, but she shot Giffard an annoyed look. “Why did you stop me earlier? Did Brandon even understand what was going on? I could wring his neck!”
With a sigh, Giffard met his sister’s glare. “If you’d kept talking, you would have brought up Millie’s miscarriage. Millie wants out of the marriage now. If Brandon finds out about that, do you really think they’ll still peacefully go through with the divorce tomorrow?”
Alexia frowned, not convinced. “He’s crazy about Vivian, always taking her side. Would he even care about Millie’s loss?”
