Chapter 999

Although Nancy was speaking confidently, she had lost her aura.

In the midst of their ongoing discussions, she felt as if everyone were gossiping about her. Ashamed to

stay, she ran back to her office.

Dottie wiped her tears, unable to move past the previous grievance.

Millie approached her and said softly, “Go wash your face. I’ll clean up here.”

Dottie looked at Millie, her eyes wide with surprise.

Millie bent down and began to pick up the pieces.

Dottie nodded and said gratefully, “Thank you, Millie.”

After cleaning up the mess, Millie received a call from the Fairclough family, who requested her

presence to discuss the design.

Millie gathered her work and headed out.

As soon as she left, Emerie came to report to Nancy, “Millie has gone to the Fairclough family’s house.”

Nancy’s lips twisted with malice, anger sparking in her eyes. The Fairclough family had grown very

fond of Millie and seemed entirely uninterested in Nancy’s work.

But Nancy was resolute in her decision to thwart Millie’s success.

Suddenly, she opened a drawer and pulled out an advertisement she had ripped from the street.

“What’s this?” Emerie approached, curious.

“See? Someone wants to buy a kidney.”

Emerie’s eyes widened in shock.

The advertisement was illegal, promoting the sale of kidneys. She knew that complex organizations

orchestrated such business.

Nancy gripped the edge of the table, her eyes red with fury. She had carefully plotted her plans, vowing

that Millie would never see success again.

Millie arrived at the Fairclough family home, welcomed warmly by Mrs. Fairclough. Millie told her about

her intention to design jewelry featuring swans, a concept that pleased the family. After a brief

conversation, Millie departed, feeling relieved.

On her way back to the company, Millie passed by a shopping mall and spotted Bruce in a cafe.

Seated across from him was another person, his face marked by impatience as he occasionally

pressed his index finger between his eyebrows. It was evident that he was reluctant to continue the

conversation.

Millie paused, her thoughts drifting to the frightening plant she had seen when Bruce had taken her to

that mysterious place.

Inside the cafe, Bruce quickly signed a contract presented by the person across from him, who

promptly left with it.

Millie’s hand tightened around her bag. Recently, she had come to realize that the person who had

tried to catch her last time was not Bruce, but his father.
