Chapter 431
âWhat? Youâre resigning?â Lainey was confused when Millie handed her a resignation letter.
Vanessa was getting ready to share an update on her work when she saw Millie quitting. She was shocked as well because she believed things were going smoothly. She couldnât grasp why Millie had made a sudden decision to leave.
Millie was determined. âYes, Dr. Quinn. Iâm resigning.â
Lainey looked concerned as she read through Millieâs resignation, feeling a mix of emotions. Millie didnât give a specific reason for her resignation. It seemed as though she simply didnât want to work at the hospital anymore.
Lainey asked again, âHave you thought it through?â
Millie nodded again.
Lainey remained silent. Millie was hoping for Laineyâs approval.
Meanwhile, Vanessa frowned and seemed unwell. Millie looked at Vanessa, who frowned and then walked out.
Lainey asked Millie to leave the office first, as she still needed to speak to Sebastian about the issue. Millie then followed Vanessa.
Vanessa stopped at the emergency exit stairs, her gaze meeting Millieâs. She sighed. âIs it because of me?
âWhat are you talking about?â Millie smiled, radiating beauty.
Vanessa was captivated by Millieâs stunning and charismatic presence. Her beauty was impossible to ignore. Her confident personality left a strong impression, instantly making others like her.
âLately, there have been rumors circulating in the department about Dr. Quinnâs intention to keep the position vacant for you.â Vanessa leaned against the wall and lowered her head. She appeared remarkably composed with her hands in her pocket.

SAD
Vanessa exuded a sense of stability. Perhaps it was her experience as a mother combined with her age. However, she was always calm no matter what.
âNo. I simply have no interest in working in this industry. Working in the hospital was my grandmaâs idea in the first place.â
Then, she pretended to be relaxed and continued, âIâm Millie, the eldest daughter of the Caldwell family. Is it really necessary for me to work here?â
Vanessa tried to read her thoughts.
Millie confirmed with a serious nod. âItâs true. Iâm not short of money. And I donât feel like working to serve others all my life.â
Vanessa was quiet.
âDr. Xander, I wish you all the best in your future,â Millie said.
Vanessa still remained silent.
Ultimately, Lainey accepted Millieâs resignation. However, what Millie was unaware of was that if the deputy chief position was never meant for Vanessa, it would have remained vacant. Millieâs departure would only serve to remove a competitor for Vanessa,
While Millie had written a recommendation letter for Vanessa, the ultimate determination of Vanessaâs future promotion lay in her own capability.
Upon arriving home, Millie found Layla sitting on the couch, visibly distressed. Terrence sat next to her, smugly sipping his coffee.
Only Layla seemed displeased by Millieâs resignation. It was clear that everyone had their own ulterior motives.
Terrence saw it as an opportunity for Millie to take over his company. Julia viewed it as a chance to mentor Millie in design. Arthur envisioned fishing and planting with her.
However, the next moment, Millie announced, âIâm planning to travel abroad.â

Their eyes widened in complete disbelief a they asked, âWhat are you planning to do?â
Millie replied, âTravel abroad to study further.â
âMillie, if you donât want to take over my company, thatâs okay. But now you
just want to run away?â Terrence slammed the table.
Millie was speechless. âDad, Iâm not interested in your company.â
âAre you not interested in design as well?â Julia asked immediately.
Millie hummed in response, indicating her lack of interest.
In silence, Arthur raised his hand, as if questioning Millie about her interest in simply staying home and doing nothing.
Meanwhile, Layla looked conflicted.
âMills, are you sad because of your divorce from Winston? Donât act impulsively,â Julia gently held her hand.
