Chapter 403:
There was no way she could let Millie find out or even suspect her illness was just a ruse.
Vivian still hadn’t won Brandon over for good. She couldn’t afford any mistakes now.
A moment later, Vivian’s expression softened, turning frail and innocent as she glanced past Millie. “Oh, Brandon, you’re here.”
Millie turned to find Brandon walking over, his expression tangled with conflicting emotions.
Brandon gave Vivian a nod, then moved to take Millie aside for a private word.
Before he could touch her, Millie slipped deftly out of reach.
