Chapter 950
Chapter 950:
“You need to be extremely careful from now on,” Lynda warned. “When people like this are backed into a corner, they become unpredictable and dangerous. You could very well become their primary target p>
Millie nodded her understanding, though her mind was still processing all the implications of what she’d learned. So it had been Vivian and Macauley working together all along. The pieces of the puzzle were finally starting to fall into place.
As she reflected on recent events, Millie remembered the cryptic words Macauley had spoken to her just before he’d left the Watson Group. At the time, she had interpreted his comment as a casual question, but now she realized it had been a veiled warning.
After wrapping up her conversation with Lynda, Millie left the quiet café and walked to where Myron was waiting for her. She opened the passenger door and settled into the car, but Myron immediately noticed the troubled expression on her face.
“What happened in there?” he asked gently. “You look like you’ve received some disturbing news p>
Millie took a deep breath and filled him in on everything she’d learned about Macauley’s involvement in the conspiracy against her. Myron listened intently, his brow creasing with concern as she spoke.
“If you want to know the real reason why Brandon fired Macauley from the Watson Group, I’ve actually heard some rumors about that situation,” Myron said thoughtfully. “From what I understand, it involved both financial corruption and corporate espionage, but the espionage charges were considered much more serious p>
“Corporate espionage?” Millie was surprised by this revelation.
“That’s right,” Myron confirmed while turning the ignition. “I’ll arrange for someone to conduct a more thorough investigation.” The vehicle merged smoothly into the flow of traffic.
After Brandon transmitted his message, he remained fixated on his phone screen. His emotions were in complete turmoil. He had no way of predicting when Millie might respond.

What kind of response would she send? Or would she choose to completely ignore his attempt at communication?
The car continued its journey through the busy streets while Brandon remained frozen in anticipation. Just when he was beginning to resign himself to the possibility that Millie wouldn’t reply at all, his phone buzzed with an incoming message. Brandon’s heart raced as he immediately unlocked the screen to read her response.
She had written only two words: “Thank you p>
The message was painfully polite and formal, as if they were complete strangers who had briefly crossed paths rather than two people who had once intimately shared a life together.
As the car continued moving forward through the city, Brandon felt himself becoming completely still inside. A wave of regret washed over him. He would have preferred no response at all; at least silence would have suggested she still harbored anger toward him, rather than this emotionally detached courtesy.
Brandon tucked his phone away and let out a bitter laugh at his own expense.
The official arrest warrants for Vivian and Macauley were formally released. Observant internet users with connections to law enforcement quickly discovered the warrants and shared them across social media platforms. The revelation created an immediate sensation.
