“I would be really thankful to you if you’re willing to give up the necklace.” Millie flashed him a sincere

smile.

However, if Winston refused to sell the necklace, she wouldn’t bother him about it. After all, it was just a

necklace.

Winston raised an eyebrow. Taking a sip of water, he calmly asked, “Ms. Caldwell, what can you offer in exchange?”

“What can I offer? I’m buying it.” She shrugged. “How about double the price of the winning bid?”

Marvin’s heart sank when he looked at the two of them. Although they were no longer husband and wife, they would still make a powerful duo.

Winston was always aggressive. Meanwhile, Millie had become increasingly intimidating with a streak of madness.

“Let’s not always talk about money. That’s crass,” Winston replied with a sigh.

Millie refused to engage further. “Mr. Greer, just let me know when you’re ready to give up on the necklace. It’s getting late. I don’t want to take up any more of your time. Bye!”

She tried to leave, but Winston tutted. “Millie Caldwell, I saved your life, remember? I still have an injury

on my arm.

She paused and blinked at Winston. Was he seeking attention by bringing up the time he saved her life? She had saved his life many times too!

Besides, it was not her fault that he got injured in the arm.

She fixed her gaze calmly on his face. “I told you I don’t need you to save me, but you insisted on doing it If you willingly made a sacrifice for me, do not expect my gratitude no matter what happens to you.”

She gave him a nod and left with a smile. Her curt and decisive remark was akin to plunging a knife into

his heart.

She was cruel. Her words echoed in his head. “If you willingly made a sacrifice for me, do not expect my gratitude no matter what happens to you.”

The door of the private dining room slammed shut. Winston grabbed his glass tightly. Moments later, he released the glass with a bitter smile.

Eli entered the room. He whispered, “Mr. Greer…”

He shot an exhausted look at Eli. “Go ahead.”

“We’ve ended our business partnership with William Pearson,” Eli, keeping his head low, reported to Winston with great respect.

Winston nodded. “Okay.”

“We’ll bring the item from the auction back home.”

Winston stood up and left the room. Eli asked, “Mr. Greer, do you want to eat more? You haven’t had much today.”

“It’s not to my taste,” he replied flatly.

Eli checked out the table. Only Millie finished her food. Winston barely ate.

“How are things on William Pearson’s side?” Winston glanced at Eli.

Eli quickly caught up with him. “He didn’t file a police report. The issue has died down, but he was in a bad condition. He’s in the hospital now.”

Winston frowned. William was in a bad condition? Was he injured?

“Ms. Caldwell had hurt him. I’ve taken care of it. He won’t harass her,” Eli replied curtly.

Winston smiled. Millie had become more unruly since she left him. Not only did she meet William alone in a foreign country, but she also injured him.

This young lady from the Caldwell family rarely thought twice before she acted.

Rubbing his fingers, Winston ordered Eli, “Get me on the earliest flight back home.”

“Yes, sir.” Eli nodded.

Millie and Marvin took their seats on the flight. She sighed. “I ended up empty–handed after all my efforts.” “Boss, this is all my fault. I’ll accept any punishment,” Marvin responded in an apologetic tone. He blamed himself and felt sorry about the situation.

Millie rubbed her forehead and shut her eyes tiredly.
