Chapter 522

Chapter 522:
“Understood.” Eugene got to work immediately.
Brandon returned to the car, his brows furrowed as he stared at the document he had just received.
Was Vivian faking it?
He started the engine and drove off.
Time passed quickly.
One day, as Brandon was heading to Watson Group, a notification lit up on his phone: “Breaking: Millie and Myron spotted getting cozy.” The photo showed them on a yacht, out at sea, fishing together.
But it wasn’t your typical fishing trip. They were holding the same pole, pulling something up from the water. They stood close—too close. Brandon’s phone buzzed again.
It was Darden. “Hey buddy, did you see the news? Millie and Myron went sea fishing.”
Brandon stared at the message for a moment, then replied, “I saw it.”
Darden messaged again. “But didn’t you say she was busy with her adopted daughter? Why’s she out there fishing with him?”
Brandon didn’t answer.
He got the address and drove straight there.
Millie and Myron were returning with a cooler full of fish.
“I didn’t think we’d catch so many!” Millie said, wide-eyed with surprise.
Myron had invited her on their second weekly date. She almost turned it down. The new product launch was tomorrow, and Ari was still in the hospital. And who went sea fishing on a date anyway?
It had been five days since Ari’s surgery. Doctors suggested five to ten days of close medical observation, and Millie wanted her to stay a little longer just to make sure she was truly fine.
“I already thought of that,” Myron had said with a smile when Millie voiced her concern. “I’ve got a beach house nearby. A doctor and a chef are already there. We’ll take Ari along, and after fishing, we’ll cook and eat together.” Latest content published on.net
He even consulted Alexia and her brother, making sure Ari’s health could handle such an outing.
In the end, it became a group outing. They split into teams and turned it into a competition.
Alexia shouted in excitement with every catch, and with Giffard beside her, they also caught quite a lot. But the stars of the day were Millie and Myron. Their cooler was the fullest by far.
As they walked back along the deck, Millie stepped on a slick patch of water and lost her balance.
“Careful!” someone shouted. In a flash, Myron caught her arm, steadying her. Millie gasped and instinctively held onto him. It looked like she had fallen right into his arms.
Just then, she felt something sharp—like needles pricking her skin.
