Charles contributed his thoughts. “Millie, you’re absolutely incredible! You finally freed yourself from that foolish Brandon!”
Seville chimed in with enthusiasm. “This is fantastic! Congratulations to you, Millie, for embracing a brand new chapter!”
Giffard echoed the sentiment. “Congratulations to you, Millie, on reclaiming your independence! Good riddance to dead weight!”
Sheridan also added his heartfelt support, saying, “This is truly magnificent! At last, all your suffering has reached its end. Congratulations, Millie!”
