Chapter 525:
“But, I hope you succeed,” Egbert said with a smile. “Out of everyone, I trust you more. And, I feel… it’s time to add a little spice for tomorrow and the future.”
At the seaside villa, Millie and Myron sat side by side on the cool sand, letting the breeze wash over them.
“Are you nervous about tomorrow’s launch?” Myron asked.
Millie took a slow sip of her drink, feeling the wind brush against her skin. “I am.”
“You don’t look nervous,” Myron said with a chuckle.
Millie turned to him, raising her eyebrows. “What about now?”
Myron didn’t respond, and she gave a faint smile. “This launch is my chance to win back what rightfully belongs to the Bennett family. Of course, I’m anxious.”
Myron’s gaze softened. He reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, which was blowing across her face. “There was a time, back at the Flesta border, when I crossed paths with someone completely reckless. My airline route was at risk, and I was on edge. But in the end, things worked out perfectly. That person was nothing like what I’d heard about him. He had changed by then, and our partnership went surprisingly well.”
Millie laughed. “You’re talking about Egbert, aren’t you?”
Myron nodded with a faint smile. “You figured it out.”
He added, his deep eyes fixed on Millie, “I also heard that it was you who changed him. If you could handle someone like him, then this launch is nothing in comparison. Everything has been double-checked, and the whole team believes in the plan. Just trust me, Millie. You will succeed.”
Millie met his eyes, finding strength in the way he looked at her. After a moment, she nodded.
Time passed in a blur. Before long, a new day had arrived.

Overnight, heated discussions and growing anticipation had already informed most people that today marked the launch of Elliott Group’s newest collection. The company had always been a leader in the gemstone industry, sourcing a wide range of gems from around the world. Official source is.net
If someone wanted something rare, chances were Elliott Group could provide it. Its focus had long been on high-end offerings, including exclusive auctions for custom gemstone pieces.
This time, the release was rumored to fall somewhere between mid-range and luxury. But that wasn’t entirely accurate.
Word was spreading about a rare pink diamond said to be the highlight of the collection. That, however, would come later. For now, all eyes were on the opening moments. Everyone was watching to see if Millie could start strong.
But just before the product launch, something else captured the public’s attention. A short video began to circulate online.
In it, a priceless blue diamond sank into the ocean’s depths. A sleeping mermaid discovered it. She studied it with wide eyes, then flicked her tail and swam upward toward the light.
As she broke through the surface, sunlight struck the gem. It shimmered in her hand.
