Chapter 496
Sean approached Winston and firmly grabbed his shoulders.
The sight of Winston kneeling left everyone in disbelief, After all, Winston was proud and noble.
As a public figure, he valued his image immensely and took great care to maintain it. He understood that any perceived wrongdoing could not only tarnish his reputation but also diminish his influence and authority in the company and the industry.
He was fully aware of his mistake and was prepared to risk everything to keep Millie. Stillâ¦
âEven if she stays, what can you do?â Sean asked sincerely.
Winston sat slowly. He wasnât sure what he could do as well. It had only been two hours since he found out.
Sean said solemnly. âWin, probably itâs best for both of you to move on.â

Winston gently shook his head. He simply couldnât get her out of his mind, especially after realizing that she had been the one who saved him. It was simply impossible.
Sean didnât say anything else. Then, he walked into the boarding bridge. The three slowly disappeared from Winstonâs sight.
At the crowded boarding gate, everyone had different expressionsâexcitement, anticipation, or tiredness. Among them, he was kneeling as if waiting for a miracle to happen.
He couldnât wait for Millie to forgive him, couldnât see what the future held, and didnât know what would happen next. He had been so successful in the business world, but he was now feeling completely lost.
Winstonâs bitter smile couldnât stop the tears from falling. He was painfully aware of his mistakes. If he had spoken to Millie earlier or found another way to thank Joanna instead of marrying her, things might have turned out differently.
However, when Joanna fell seriously ill, she became depressed and clung to him every day. She believed he owed her for the trauma she had experienced. Therefore, it was incredibly challenging for him to tell his savior that he couldnât marry her.
The reason he had been so kind to Joanna was because she had saved him, and that was why he continued to hurt Millie repeatedly.
However, the root of all these issues was because of Joannaâs lie. She claimed that she was the one who had saved Winston, not Millie. In this misinterpretation, he too became a victim of circumstance.
Millie stood at the end of the boarding bridge, gazing at the distant figure, deep in thought.
âIf you donât want to leave, then stay,â Sean said coldly
Millie chuckled. âSean, Iâm not that stupid.â
âHe wonât give up easily. Youâll have to face it sooner or later,â Sean remarked calmly.
âEveryone has to face consequences for their choices. Iâve already faced the consequences and almost lost my life. Shouldnât it be the same for them? Millie looked at Sean seriously.

Winston must face the consequences of his decision, and that would be fair.
Millie went into the cabin, and Sean followed with a complex expression. She was right. Everyone was ultimately responsible for the results of their decisions,
After Millie vanished from the boarding bridge, Winston couldnât hold on any longer and passed out.
As Millie gazed at the scenery outside the airplane, she experienced an overwhelming sense of peace. As her face appeared as a faint reflection on the window, she lightly caressed her image.
With a faint smile, she reminded herself. âThereâs nothing more important than being happy. You must be happy, Millie. The past seven years have been tough enough. The future canât be any more difficult.â
Suddenly, her phone rang.
