Chapter 993:
“I told her I was planning to come tonight,” Brandon replied with calm determination.
But the assistant remained absolutely steadfast in following Millie’s instructions.
Babette’s irritation flared at this resistance. “Didn’t Millie announce that there were no restrictions on who could attend tonight? She made that statement publicly, but now you’re trying to prevent us from going inside p>
Her tone made it obvious that they had no intention of leaving at all.
“If you absolutely insist on entering p>
“Are you going to let us in or not?” Babette interrupted sharply, her patience completely exhausted.
With curious onlookers gathering around them, the assistant realized that creating a public scene here would only make things worse for everyone involved.
With obvious reluctance, she managed a professional smile and gestured toward the entrance. “If you must, then please go ahead p>
By this time, Millie had reached the center of the stage. A single bright spotlight illuminated her figure, making her appear absolutely radiant and ethereal.
Every single pair of eyes in the packed hall was focused entirely on her commanding presence.
She held the microphone with natural confidence and smiled warmly at the sea of faces before her.
“Thank you all so much for being here tonight to celebrate the official opening of JM Investments,” Millie said with genuine warmth, her clear voice echoing beautifully throughout the entire hall. “I haven’t felt this excited and hopeful about the future since my father, James Bennett, passed away. Today, however, with the launch of JM Investments, I want to announce to everyone here that Millie Bennett is back in business! I intend to honor my father’s incredible legacy and restore the Bennett family name to its rightful place of respect and influence p>
Despite wearing only simple makeup, she seemed to sparkle under the stage lights, her natural charisma commanding everyone’s complete attention. “Clap, clap, clap p>

Someone in the audience started applauding with enthusiasm, and within seconds, thunderous applause erupted throughout the entire building, creating a sound that seemed to shake the very foundations.
“Humph! Such ridiculous arrogance!” Babette, who was still standing near the entrance, heard every word clearly and sneered with contempt.
Everyone in Crobert’s business community knew exactly how brilliant and exceptional James Bennett had been during his lifetime. Could Millie—despite being his daughter—possibly hope to match that level of genius and achievement?
Babette believed Millie was living in a complete fantasy if she thought she could fill those shoes. She was nothing more than just a pretty face!
Brandon glanced sideways at Babette and spoke with quiet but firm authority. “It would be better to keep your opinions to yourself rather than saying something unnecessarily cruel p>
Babette’s lips formed a disappointed pout at this rebuke, but she reluctantly held her tongue and remained quiet.
Millie spent the next few minutes reflecting on cherished memories from the past before turning her attention toward the bright possibilities of the future.
