Chapter 524
Chapter 524:
Was it truly time to let her go?
He didn’t have the answer. And deep down, he didn’t want one.
Cigarette butts lay scattered near his car door, while laughter and music drifted from the lively seaside villa. Inside, the people shared a meal and played games. Through the French windows, he could see her dancing with Myron. And next to their moving figures, the small outline of a child sat, watching. They were happy. She looked content.
Alexia’s loud, out-of-tune singing resonated from afar. Everyone was wrapped in happiness. Everyone but Brandon.
Meanwhile, online forums were buzzing with chatter about Elliott Group’s upcoming product launch.
“Did Millie and Myron really go out sea fishing to celebrate the new product? That’s gutsy! Already popping champagne? What if it all crashes tomorrow?”
“Right?! I heard from a source that this time, Millie isn’t just the spokesperson; she actually led the project. The entire marketing plan was her idea.”
“Seriously? Does she even know anything about marketing? Wasn’t she just Brandon’s personal assistant for years?”
“We’ll see soon enough. If things flop, Vivian will have a field day laughing.”
The product launch had stirred interest from all directions, especially from Vivian. She remained confident in her judgment.
“Millie barely accomplished anything while she was with the Watson Group. How could she suddenly shine now?” Vivian said to her caregiver. “I bet Myron is trying to impress her by handing her everything. Those designs and marketing strategies aren’t even hers. Once I call her out on cheating, she’ll be left with nothing.”
The caregiver nodded along, though she didn’t fully understand.
However, Vivian wasn’t willing to leave things to chance. She reached out to Johnny, arranging a little “surprise” for Millie on launch day.

At Moonlit Estate, Derek and Norma scrolled through the online chatter, shaking their heads at the drama.
“If Millie really ends up with Myron, what will Brandon do?” Derek asked.
“He might lose his mind…” Norma murmured.
Derek nodded.
“Back then… things almost turned out differently,” he said, leaving the sentence unfinished.
“Let it be,” Norma concluded. “We’ve done what we can.”
In a hotel suite, Egbert swirled a glass of red wine in his hand, scanning the online buzz with an amused smile.
“Millie… after all these years, you still have so many admirers. But of all people, why him?” he murmured to himself. “Someone that dangerous…”
His thoughts drifted to the moments he’d crossed paths with Myron. The man always seemed to play fair, yet somehow came out ahead. And he often wore that cheerful, unbothered smile that could drive anyone mad.
