Chapter 744:
Brandon’s anger faded, leaving behind a hollow ache. He had suspected earlier that something wasn’t right with Millie. All he wanted was to speak with her, but seeing her fall apart caught him off guard. He hadn’t tried to force anything—this wasn’t like what happened at his apartment before. The only reason he had brought extra bodyguards with him was to handle Myron and his men. There was nothing evil on his mind.
Confused, Brandon finally spoke. “What’s happening to her p>
Myron answered in an icy tone. “I already warned you—if her death is what you’re after, then keep pushing her like this p>
Brandon stared, stunned by the fierce hatred in Myron’s eyes, finally realizing the gravity of the situation. All at once, the words Myron had spoken during their last encounter at the hospital came back to him. Myron had mentioned Millie’s health had taken a sharp turn for the worse, and…
Now Brandon watched as Myron gently adjusted the scarf around Millie’s neck. Myron had told him before that Millie’s wounds came from her own relentless scrubbing after that night.
At the time, Brandon hadn’t truly understood how bad things were. Now, seeing the pain etched on Millie’s face and those angry scars, it hit him—her suffering ran far deeper than he had imagined. The truth finally sank in—she was truly unwell, and things had gotten much worse.
“Leave. Now!” Myron snapped, his voice laced with warning as he shot a glare at Brandon and then swept his gaze across the onlookers.
Nearby, the formidable female bodyguard kept watch, her presence enough to keep the crowd at bay. Brandon’s bodyguards in the hallway stayed put, all eyes on their boss, who kept his gaze fixed on Millie.
Millie refused to face him, turning away without a word.
Wasting no more time, Myron guided Millie out. As they passed Brandon, Myron’s eyes flicked down to the bandaged leg. Without warning, he let out a derisive snort and sent a sharp kick into Brandon’s injured limb.

Hitting the floor hard, Brandon ground his teeth together as he fought through the pain. Myron lifted his foot for a harsher blow, but Brandon’s men rushed in at once to shield him.
With a look of contempt for the crowd, Myron gripped Millie’s hand tighter and kept moving, never once looking back.
Meanwhile, Barbara was pacing anxiously. She had only stepped away after a staff member told her something needed urgent attention, thinking she would be gone for just a minute. Yet in those few moments, chaos had unfolded.
A worried cry left her lips as she spotted Millie. “Millie p>
Seeing Barbara’s apologetic, troubled face, Millie offered a faint smile and gave her shoulder a gentle pat. “Don’t worry. I was just startled when I ran into someone unexpected,” Millie reassured her, hoping to put Barbara at ease.
After a brief pause, she remembered their dinner plans. “Actually, I’m tied up tonight, so I’ll have to pass on eating out. If you’re hungry, I’ll send someone to take you out, or you can order whatever you want and just charge it to me p>
Dinner was the last thing on Barbara’s mind.
The Evans family had been going through a rough patch, and since Charles couldn’t be here in person today, he had asked her to look after Millie. On top of that, Myron had even given her extra pay for keeping a close eye on Millie. Now, things had gone wrong, and she believed it was all her fault.
