Chapter 983:
Why had Archie come to Crobert? Was something big about to unfold?
Millie returned to her office and told her secretary she needed a short rest. In the lounge inside her office, she looked at the familiar envelope, her thoughts drifting.
“What’s on your mind?” She hadn’t heard Myron enter. He stood beside her now, his eyes dropping to the envelope.
“Just remembering some things from the past,” Millie said softly.
When her father was still alive, everyone treated her with respect.
Though James had begun building his career in their home country later than most, in Mirough, his influence had been immense.
In that capitalist country, men with his talent attracted endless people who wanted to partner with them.
And as James’ only daughter, Millie had enjoyed a uniquely prominent place.
A memory of the day she had first met Myron flashed in her mind.
Smiling faintly, she said, “The last time I saw Archie was also the day I first met you p>
Myron arched an eyebrow, a faint smile tugging at his mouth. “What a coincidence p>
Millie nodded.
“Friend or foe?” he asked.
“I honestly don’t know,” she admitted, shaking her head.
She broke the seal on the envelope and drew out its contents.
“Maybe he truly was just passing by to return something of mine.” After all, her father had been gone for years.
When James died, Archie was only a director—two levels below the position James held when he left MKK.

Millie’s expression dimmed.
If her father had lived, everything might have been different.
It had taken James just four years to rise to managing director. He could easily have become a partner, but he chose to return home instead.
Even after coming back to Crobert, James kept considerable investments in Mirough and maintained close ties with MKK.
It was one of the reasons Millie had followed him there years ago.
She lifted her gaze to the swift-moving clouds beyond the floor-to-ceiling window.
“Dad, what truly caused your death?” Millie thought.
Myron said nothing; he understood her silence.
He was actually the same.
Without James and Millie, he might have ended up at the bottom of the sea.
James had been his savior.
Uncovering the truth of his death could not wait.
Myron tightened his grasp on Millie’s hand. Without turning, she squeezed back.
Time slipped by, and evening settled in.
Outside the hotel Millie had reserved, the street buzzed with guests. Archie’s unexpected appearance and the flowers he had sent had sparked intense curiosity.
