Chapter 73
Joanna reached out her hand to grab Millieâs arm and said, âAre you happy now?â
Millie was forced to look at her. It was no wonder that she was the woman Winston loved. She even asked the same question as him.
âMillie, you really love to see me being laughed at, huh?â Joanna bit her lower lip and glared at Millie.
Millie yanked her hand out of Joannaâs grip. âItâs wrong to deceive Grandma with a fake Snowdrop. If youâre so afraid of being laughed at, then donât bring fake ones.â
âYou had the real one. Why didnât you say anything?â Joanna lost control of her emotions.
If Millie had told her, would she still bring the fake one here?
âYou didnât ask, did you?â Millie smirked, her tone tinged with sarcasm..
Joanna was rendered speechless.
Every time Joanna saw Millie, she was the one telling Millie that she got Snowdrop. Indeed, she had never asked Millie because in her eyes, Millie didnât deserve to get Snowdrop. Millie would be lucky to
even get a glimpse of it.
âMillie, do you think that Winston will love you as long as you win against me?â Joanna raised her head. She couldnât win the argument, so she resorted to using Winston as her argument.
Millie remained silent and unbothered.
Joanna walked up to Millie. Gripping her wine glass firmly, her gaze darkened as she said, âWinston will never love you. He only loves me!
âMillie, youâre nothing but a clown who canât do any damage. You gave up so much for Winston, but what did you get in the end?â
Millieâs expression turned grim. Her gaze was sharp as she stared at the indignant Joanna.
âDo you know? Winston has once told me that youâre just an idiot!â Joanna smiled smugly as she said
this.
Millie clenched her fists slowly. Her heart raced and even her throat constricted.
âWinston said it himself⦠He said that youâre an idiot!
Right after Joanna finished speaking, Millie was about to raise her hand to slap her.
All of a sudden, a walter in front of the wine tower slipped and fell toward the wine glasses.
Millieâs eyes narrowed. The 6âfeat high wine tower was falling toward her and Joanna.
Millieâs heart skipped a beat as she recalled the wallerâs face. Wasnât he the one Jonna spoke to just now? Could this be Joannaâs plan?
When Millie heard Jake call out âWinâ behind her, it confirmed her speculation. She immediately pushed Joanna away.

Millie had acted quickly, catching Joanna by surprise. She didnât think Millie would push her away.
After Joanna was pushed away, the wine tower fell and crashed onto Millie.
The sound of wine glasses shattering on the ground even drowned out the piano music.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. They saw Joanna standing near the wreck unharmed, while Millie was on the floor. Her dress was soaked in red wine and pieces of broken glass were all
around her.
Millie took a deep breath. She raised her right hand and saw her wrist and palmed being pierced by the glass fragments. Her legs felt cold and she looked very pitiful.
The crowd panicked at once.
Someone shouted, âMs. Lowell was crushed under the wine tower. Not just Ms. Lowell, but also Mrs. Greer. Quick, someone help!â
Winston and Jake exchanged glances with each other and darted into the crowd.
Joanna came to Winstonâs side and muttered, âWin..
Winston checked on Joanna. Of course she was okay.
He then looked toward the wine tower, only to see Millie looking at him calmly. Winstonâs heart trembled uncontrollably. It was Millie!
Seeing how worried he was about Joanna, Millie couldnât help but feel jealous. He loved Joanna so much, huh?
âMillie, are you okay?â A manâs gentle but anxious voice drifted into her ears.
Enduring the pain, she turned around. The person crouching down beside her was actually Simon?
âIâ¦â She didnât think she was okay. It hurt a lot.
Millie wanted to move, but she didnât dare to. There were glass shards everywhere, and if she moved, they would pierce into her flesh!
Simon noticed her discomfort and said, âIâll take you to the hospital.â Then, he reached out to carry her, but his shoulder was bumped by someone.
The manâs voice was stern, and there was a chill around him. âSheâs Mrs. Greer. You have no right!â
