Chapter 964
Chapter 964:
Millie realized she needed to be stronger. Only with her own capability could she silence the kind of gossip Adah had thrown at her.
She needed to take the initiative!
It wasn’t about whether Millie was “worthy” of someone—it was about the power to choose for herself, while the world watched.
Once their facials ended, Helga took Millie shopping.
They combed through boutiques, selecting clothes, bags, and jewelry. Meanwhile, in the Elliott Group’s first conference room, Myron sat in a meeting when Millie’s message arrived.
No matter how much time he spent with her, he never neglected company matters. But the moment her name lit his screen, a smile touched his lips. He replied quickly, and then made a mental note to bring her some snacks later.
She was too thin for his liking, and he’d developed a quiet determination to see her well-fed.

Myron’s brows drew together as he fixed the man with a steady gaze.
His eyes swept across the table.
Several lowered their heads at once.
He understood instantly.
“I intend to marry her,” he said flatly.
It was a declaration, not a point for discussion.
“But Mr. Elliott, isn’t that a little… unsuitable?” The man faltered, then pressed on. “She divorced Brandon not long ago—and she has a child. Good women are everywhere. Why her p>
Myron didn’t answer immediately. He lowered his eyes, silent.
The crowd took his quiet as hesitation, and some grew bolder.
“Yes, we don’t know the full story between her and Brandon. He doesn’t seem ready to let go. Why risk antagonizing the Watsons? And rumors online suggest Millie may not be able to bear more children. What about the Elliott Group’s future without an heir p>
