Chapter 649
Chapter 649:
Then Ari lifted her face, and Millie smiled at her adorable little face.
They had both been abandoned once.
Ari had told her before that her parents left her, but she was lucky to meet Millie. She had said that when Millie left Brandon, she too would find someone better.
“Millie, we’ll both be happy,” Ari said with a wide smile.
Millie smiled and hugged her tightly. “Yes. We’ll both be happy.”
Millie felt grateful.
Everything seemed to be falling into place. The new jewelry collection had been a success. She had let go of the past. She was engaged to Myron. Ari’s adoption procedures were almost complete.
Life was moving forward.
Millie slept soundly that night.
The next morning, she had barely gotten out of bed when her phone rang.
“Millie, come to Watson Group,” Derek said. “There are points in the agreement that need to be discussed and revised. Brandon and Vivian are already here.”
Millie’s heart tightened.
Derek had always treated her well because she was once Brandon’s wife. Now that she had accepted Myron’s proposal in public, would that change everything?
“Alright,” Millie said before ending the call. She quickly freshened up, picked up the original agreement, and rushed out the door.
She took a taxi, and on the way, she called Myron, asking if he could take Ari to kindergarten.
“Is everything okay?” Myron asked as he stood up to go get Ari.
“Derek needs me for something,” Millie explained. “I’m on my way to the Watson Group.”
“I’ll come pick you up later,” he said.

Millie’s gaze stayed on the road ahead. “Alright.” Original content can be found at
Meanwhile, at the Watson Group, Derek, Norma, Brandon, and Vivian were all present.
Each of their faces bore a different expression.
The elderly pair looked exhausted, as if they hadn’t slept.
Derek occasionally shot a glare at Brandon, each glance filled with disapproval. Brandon, on the other hand, sat with an air of composure, his face giving away nothing.
Vivian kept her gaze lowered, lost in thought, loosely holding a different phone. She had claimed her old one was broken, a subtle way of guarding against Brandon taking it from her again.
Suddenly, her phone buzzed.
She looked at the screen.
“Love of Vivian has completed all the procedures needed for its theater release.” Relieved, she leaned back slightly.
The process had begun during the Heavenly Melody show, but it had dragged on for quite some time. In that span, she had exhausted various means and leveraged the Watson Group’s connections to push things along more quickly.
Now that it was complete, a sense of relief washed over her.
