Chapter 424:

“Answer me,” Milly urged.

Tatiana hesitated, then spoke carefully. “How should I put this? Corbett has his faults, but he was good to me in the past. Since I parted ways with Howard, I’ve faced a lot of harshness from others, but Corbett supported me greatly. My feelings towards him are more about gratitude than romantic love.”

Milly’s smile took on a mocking edge. “One last question: do you intend to win Howard back?”

This question captured everyone’s attention. “Wow, things just got really intense, didn’t they?”

Tatiana stayed quiet, aware that Milly didn’t ask simple questions.

“Howard is a wonderful person. It wasn’t until I was with Corbett that I understood what true love feels like. I genuinely care for him. I know Howard is with you now, but I believe he still holds a place for me in his heart. So, I’m determined to help Howard move on from the past and clear away any bitterness.”

“I’m on Tatiana’s side. They truly belong together.”

“Milly comes from nowhere. How could she possibly be right for Howard?”

“Exactly! Milly is just an orphan. She would only hold Howard back. Tatiana is the better match for him!”

“What? Are you all out of your minds? Have you forgotten they’re already a couple? Isn’t Tatiana acting like the other woman here?”

“I can’t stand any women who try to steal other women’s boyfriends or husbands. If Tatiana truly loved Howard, she wouldn’t have left him for Corbett initially. Now that Corbett is struggling, she suddenly claims to love Howard again. Who would buy that?”

“You just don’t get it. Tatiana was merely moved by Corbett’s support when she was vulnerable. Is it so hard to understand the need for someone’s protection?” Milly’s smile then broadened subtly, her lips curving in a way that brightened her entire face, casting her in a radiant light that seemed to dim the room’s illumination. She responded, “I see. So your love is really just about gravitating toward whoever is in power.”

Tatiana’s expression soured at the sarcasm. “Milly, don’t push it too far. Howard and I have been close since we were kids.”

“Really? If Howard hadn’t made a comeback, you’d still look down on him, right?” Milly asked, her tone neutral.

Tatiana found herself speechless. She glared at Milly with disdain. “At least Howard and I share real feelings. What about you?”

“We are truly in love, and I’m not letting Howard go to anyone else!” Milly said boldly, her confidence palpable. Such forthright declarations were rare in the entertainment industry.

“Fantastic! Milly, you have my support!”

“Milly, you’re awesome!”

“Tatiana is just the other woman! Women like her belong nowhere but hell!”

“Ha! Milly is just clinging to Howard for his influence. You naive internet people are hilarious. They’re not a suitable pair at all, are they?”

Feeling the mounting tension, the host intervened to calm things down. After the final part of the show, the director was thrilled with how the episode turned out. Milly’s forthrightness had made a strong impression, driving up live viewership numbers. Even when silent, Milly managed to captivate the audience effortlessly. Consequently, the director personally invited Milly to appear in the next episode.

“We’ll see,” Milly replied noncommittally, then left to change her outfit.

As Milly stepped out of the room, she encountered Tatiana waiting by the door. Tatiana’s face showed clear displeasure, her eyes filled with bitterness. She glared at Milly.

Milly gave her a brief look and was about to walk away. Suddenly, Tatiana reached out and grabbed her hand. Milly swiftly pulled away. In the next moment, a dramatic scene unfolded—Tatiana stumbled backward into a nearby cabinet, causing it to topple. This incident quickly drew a crowd.

“What happened to Tatiana?”

“Oh no, Tatiana is bleeding. Someone call a doctor.”

The crowd surrounded Tatiana. The director approached, his brow furrowed, and behind him came Howard. Howard knew Milly was on today’s show and had taken a break to watch. He was touched by what Milly had said earlier and had come to pick her up, not expecting to walk into such chaos.

Dressed in white, Howard stood out amid the crowd. Many who hadn’t seen him before were struck by his refined features and elegant presence. He seemed like a prince from a fairy tale.

He looked even more charismatic than on TV.

“Is that Howard? Wow, he really is handsome! I thought he looked good at the launch event, but he’s even more impressive up close.”

“I’ve always said, Howard is extremely handsome, and he’s a tech genius too.”

“His presence is magnetic. It’s no wonder Tatiana wants him back.”

“What’s happening here?” Howard approached Milly.

A doctor was already attending to Tatiana, who was bleeding from the head. Her eyes were red, and her typically strong demeanor was replaced by a look of vulnerability. Tatiana looked pitifully. “Milly, I know my words upset you, but did you really have to treat this like a game?”

Tatiana’s accusation led everyone to whisper and wonder.

Did Milly, angered by Tatiana’s attempts to win Howard back, deliberately push her?
