Chapter 723:
Eventually, restlessness overtook her ability to remain still. She turned to the attending maid with sudden purpose.
“Would you please check if my phone has been recovered?” Millie asked quietly, urgency in her voice.
The previous day, Brandon had violently seized the device, and she suspected it was still abandoned somewhere in his residence. Without hesitation, the maid placed the call, her voice echoing through the mansion’s corridors.
Minutes later, Maggie appeared, carrying Millie’s retrieved phone as though it were a precious artifact.
“Mr. Elliott sent someone to collect it from the premises,” Maggie explained with precision. “Although the screen is severely damaged, he’s already arranged for a replacement, which should arrive shortly p>
Millie nodded in acknowledgment, grateful for the news. Her mind immediately turned to more practical matters.
She then requested Maggie’s assistance in retrieving essential documents from her leased office space.
Millie had already come to terms with the fact that working from the mansion would be her reality for the foreseeable future.
When Myron and Charles entered, they found that Millie had meticulously relocated all her study materials to the sanctuary of her bedroom. She had positioned herself against the headboard’s supportive cushions, her fingers dancing across the laptop keyboard with intense focus, clearly immersed in demanding professional tasks.
Charles felt anxiety surge through his chest, words of concern forming on his lips. Myron, however, intercepted the impulse with a subtle shake of his head, his understanding running deeper than mere surface worry.
Myron understood Millie’s driven nature and her desperate need for purposeful activity. Forcing her to stop would only trigger stubborn resistance and potential emotional regression.
The two men cautiously approached her bedside, the maid arranging comfortable chairs for them before retreating quietly.

Charles’s gaze lingered on Millie’s bandaged injuries, a growing distress gnawing at him. He longed to express his concern but feared that doing so would bring back traumatic memories better left undisturbed. After considerable internal debate, he put on a bright smile and announced, “Millie, the concert tickets sold out in minutes after their official release today p>
He deliberately chose this triumphant topic to shift the room’s heavy atmosphere.
Millie lifted her gaze to meet Charles’ eyes. She processed this unexpected development for several heartbeats before a genuine smile tugged at her lips. She had anticipated that decent sales would mean success, but complete sellout status exceeded her most optimistic projections.
“Currently, tickets have become incredibly scarce!” Charles continued with building excitement. “Desperate fans are approaching scalpers, offering premium prices for any available seats p>
His enthusiasm filled the room with palpable energy. “We kept the pricing fair, but with such high demand, our profits will be substantial. We’re also planning to offer exclusive merchandise during the event p>
NO artificial Price inflation will occur. Additionally, we plan to distribute complimentary promotional items. If this concert achieves the anticipated success, it will mark a monumental leap forward in your career trajectory p>
