Chapter 990
Chapter 990:
Millie watched the impressive parade of arrivals with a calm, composed expression on her face.
She had been expecting this exact scenario to unfold.
The guests who had arrived earlier in the evening were people who had personal connections to her through her own relationships and achievements. But the distinguished individuals who were arriving now were connected to her through her father’s legacy and influence.
She knew that her past accomplishments within the Watson Group and her success in the music industry were nothing compared to the power she was about to wield. Once she officially entered the investment world and claimed her true inheritance, these powerful figures were bound to come pay their respects.
Among the distinguished guests gathered tonight, some were clearly enemies, while others were genuine friends. Whether their attendance was a test of Millie’s abilities, a gesture of goodwill, or something else entirely, anything was possible in this complex web of relationships.
The venue was bustling with journalists and photographers, each one frantically capturing every moment with their flashing cameras. These photographs quickly spread across the Internet, but they didn’t spark much discussion among the general public. Most of these powerful figures were from the older generation, and their faces were largely unfamiliar to the younger people who dominated social media.
Only the photographs featuring Derek and Norma managed to stir mild gossip online, but even that amounted to nothing more than shallow entertainment chatter. However, within the exclusive world of high finance and investment, these images were causing quite a stir among industry insiders, who understood the significance of such powerful figures gathering in one place.
Millie moved through the crowd with natural grace, greeting each guest with a warm, genuine smile. The crowd displayed a fascinating variety of expressions and attitudes, creating a lively and dynamic atmosphere throughout the hall. Some faces showed genuine warmth and support, while others remained carefully neutral or even subtly hostile.

From his position along the sidelines, Myron watched the entire scene unfold with quiet satisfaction.
“Myron, why aren’t you over there with Millie?” Jayceon asked, concern evident in his voice. “With so many respected and powerful elders in attendance, Millie must be feeling tremendous pressure right now p>
Adriana nodded her agreement, looking equally worried. “He’s absolutely right. You being by her side might help her feel more confident. Some of those people might deliberately try to intimidate her or make her uncomfortable. I’ve already seen members of the Smith family acting that way p>
But Myron simply smiled with gentle confidence, reaching up to adjust his elegant gold-rimmed glasses.
“She doesn’t need my help,” he said with quiet pride. “Millie is more than capable of handling herself p>
Those simple words left both Adriana and Jayceon feeling frustrated and confused by their brother’s apparent lack of concern. But Myron continued watching Millie, his admiration glowing in his eyes.
“She is Millie Bennett,” he said softly, as if that explained everything. “She’s a true socialite in every sense of the word p>
There had been a time when Millie was one of the most sought-after figures in high society, regularly invited to exclusive events in Mirough and other prestigious locations. She had always possessed the skills and composure needed to navigate these complex social situations.
