Chapter 792:
People remained exclusively focused on discussing the concert’s artistic merits and emotional impact, treating her with complete and utter indifference. This devastating outcome had become absolutely intolerable.
Vivian discovered she lacked the emotional fortitude to endure such blatant dismissal.
She dismissed every safety net Johnny had carefully constructed for her protection. Her plan required something far more explosive to snare the public’s wandering focus. The wheels of her scheme began turning with dangerous precision.
Meanwhile, Millie had completed her outfit transformation and emerged alongside Myron and their accompanying entourage, heading toward their celebratory dinner destination. She had gently removed her stage makeup with a cleansing wipe during her wardrobe change, her bare face revealing an exhaustion that somehow made her natural beauty shine even brighter.
As they stepped into the open air, their collective gaze fell upon Brandon’s solitary figure, still keeping a patient vigil in the same spot. Brandon clutched the security railing with white knuckles, waiting for her arrival in complete, devoted silence.
Myron’s protective grasp around Millie’s delicate hand tightened with subtle but noticeable intensity.
Millie remained perfectly still beside Myron’s reassuring presence, her gaze brushing past Brandon like a whisper before dropping downward. “Let’s go. Hunger’s starting to gnaw at me,” she murmured, deliberately redirecting her attention elsewhere.
She acknowledged Brandon’s presence with the same casual indifference one might show a random stranger on any ordinary street corner—nothing more than a fleeting recognition.
Brandon felt his chest cave inward with devastating pain. He would have vastly preferred her explosive anger or even physical retaliation over this stranger-like indifference. Her behavior suggested that absolutely nothing of consequence had ever transpired between them, not even the remnants of what had once been passionate love.

Brandon’s throat constricted as he searched for words, but Egbert materialized beside him, guiding him firmly toward a distant corner and away from the unfolding scene.
Myron’s attention anchored on Millie, reading the subtle signals in her posture and expression.
She offered no commentary and avoided looking in Brandon’s direction, simply pressing her palm to her stomach while mentioning her hunger. After delivering these words, she lifted her gaze to meet Myron’s understanding eyes. He recognized the crystal clarity in her depths and decoded her unspoken message perfectly.
They departed together as a united front, with Egbert trailing at a respectful distance behind them.
Millie sank into the car’s plush back seat, and within moments, the seat beside her yielded slightly under Myron’s weight as he joined her in their private sanctuary.
The sky had swallowed the drone butterfly completely, yet in his perception, she continued radiating the same brilliant luminescence that had captivated thousands on stage.
As the driver ignited the engine, Millie released a gentle sigh and let her head find its natural resting place against Myron’s shoulder. Exhaustion had finally claimed its due from her spent energy reserves. Myron’s fingers traced the delicate curve of her cheek while his lips remained sealed, yet she understood his unspoken meaning with perfect clarity.
