Chapter 273
Millie drove Rachel home. When she was about to leave, Rachel asked, âAre you coming to the entertainment industry party tomorrow night?â
Millie gazed at Rachel, who suddenly approached. She leaned on the car window, her bangs dancing in the wind. There was a palpable sense of longing in her expression.
Rachel truly desired Millieâs company for the dinner, clearly uncomfortable at the thought of attending alone. Millie sighed when she saw how pitiful she looked. She couldnât refuse this beautiful woman.
âOkay, okay, Iâll go with you,â Millie said with a hint of resignation.
Rachel grinned. âSee you tomorrow night.â
âFine, Iâll just steal your spotlight then,â Millie teased.
However, Rachel remained unfazed. She walked into her house after Millie drove away.
On her way back, Millie checked the latest news. To her great relief, no one had leaked the fact that she had attended the car race and engaged in such a cruel act.
Millie suddenly felt hungry, so she called Marvin. âLetâs go somewhere to eat?â
Marvin accelerated immediately and drove alongside her car. Millie looked at him through the rearview window and smiled.
The cars accelerated, driving one after the other until they stopped in front of Yerwick University. Marvin opened the car door and looked around. âWhat are we going to eat?â
âCranurian cuisine,â replied Millie.
She didnât know why, but she suddenly craved Cranurian cuisine. Marvin followed Millie into
the restaurant.
The owner was enthusiastic when she noticed Millie. âMiss, youâre back! Table for two? Please follow me upstairs.â
Millie nodded in response.
Marvin asked, âWho did you come with before?â
Millie was about to answer when she saw a photo of the owner hanging on the wall. She slowed down her pace as she ascended the stairs.
The walls of the stairs leading upstairs were all covered with photos of the owner and customers. A brand new, clean photo caught Millieâs attention.
âAh. You came with Mr. Greer,â Marvin said faintly.

Millie glared at him and went upstairs. Marvin looked at the photo again and thought that she and Winston were a good couple. However, unrequited love couldnât sustain a relationship.
Afterward, he followed closely. Millie ordered a lot of food.
âEat less spicy food. Itâs bad for your stomach,â Marvin reminded her.
Millie ignored him and glanced at her phone. She noticed two unread messages on WhatsApp and clicked on them to read.
The messages were from Arthur. âMills, do you remember what I asked you to do before?â
After reading that, Millie frowned.
The next message was, âYou promised me that you would find Aspher for your grandma. Did you forget?â
Millie was taken aback at first. Then, she remembered that she had promised Arthur that she would get Aspher for him.
âMarvin, can you help me check if we have Aspher in our warehouse?â Millie instructed
Marvin.
Marvin nodded and pulled out his phone to assist her in checking the availability in the M
system.
Millie lowered her phone and heard Marvin say, âBoss, we donât have Aspher.â
He then asked curiously, âWhat kind of plant is Aspher?â
Millie was a little surprised that she didnât have Aspher in her warehouse. She had been under the impression that she had it, so she agreed to Arthurâs request.
Millie explained, âItâs an herb. When you plant one, a lot will grow. It has strong vitality. Please help me check who has Aspher.â
Marvin started checking before she even requested it. Aspher was a rare, topâgrade herb that was extremely expensive and rare on the market. Aspher was almost as valuable as Snowdrop.
âThereâs none,â replied Marvin.
âPlease help me find it. It doesnât matter how much it costs. My grandpa wants to give it to my grandma.â Millie said.
Marvin nodded. âAlright, boss. Iâll update you again.â
The following evening, the party took place at the Luminous Grand Hotel. A few hundred

meters of red carpet stretched outside the hotel, and it was surrounded by a lot of media.
A line of luxury cars pulled up one by one. There were top celebrities from the film and television industry, as well as new actors and singers who had gained recent popularity.
