Chapter 356

Chapter 356:
They stood in silence.
Soon, it was their turn.
They stepped up to the counter and handed over the required documents.
As the clerk flipped through the paperwork, the two of them sat quietly. Eventually, the clerk looked up. “Have you both made up your minds?”
“We have,” they answered together, nodding.
With practiced hands, the clerk processed the forms and printed the final documents.
“Here you are,” the clerk said, handing them each a divorce certificate and accompanying materials before calling the next couple forward. For original chapters go to.net
Millie and Brandon stepped away from the counter, each holding a copy of their divorce certificate.
Millie stared at the piece of paper in her hand.
This marked the end of their marriage.
A strange sense of relief washed over her—clearer and sharper than she expected.
Now, everything could move forward.
The chaos that trailed behind Serena in the Heavenly Melody competition, the agreement she had signed with Brandon to ensure her rights, even the evidence of his affair she had once prepared as a last resort—none of it lingered over her anymore.
And Ari, she belonged to her now, without question.
All that remained was to win the championship in that show.
Millie had originally planned to disclose her identity right after receiving the divorce decree. But with Brandon and the Elliott family tightening their grip on the show and on Serena’s position, an early reveal wasn’t necessary anymore. She’d wait until the finals. She’d pull off the mask when the cameras were rolling and leave no room for retaliation.
For now, Serena’s image was being dragged through the mud online. But it wouldn’t last.

At the finals, when she revealed who she really was, every rumor would crumble.
Millie’s thoughts raced, her next steps falling into place.
Brandon was staring at his copy of the divorce certificate as well, though his thoughts couldn’t have been further from Millie’s.
Outwardly, they both looked composed as they stepped through the courthouse doors, neither showing any sign of emotion. The sun had risen high, casting warmth over the pavement.
“Well, that’s it. We’re officially divorced,” Brandon said as they stood on the steps.
Millie gave a slight nod.
“In a few days, there’s a music show final airing,” he continued. “It’s called ‘Heavenly Melody.’ You might like it. One of the contestants is really good—talented and sharp. Her style reminds me of yours, only more polished. I admire her work. Thought you might want to watch and learn a few things. I’ve set aside a seat for you at the live show.” He looked at her. “Think you’ll come?”
Millie met his eyes. “I’ll be there.”
“Not with the audience though,” Millie thought.
Brandon gave a short nod.
