Chapter 134
“What are you implying?”
“It's easy for you to understand that.” With these words, Millie rose abruptly, her rapid departure leaving only a cool, dispassionate silhouette.
She was well aware that the Thomas family had provided the Browns with a generous gift for Millie's union with Marcus, followed by a substantial investment into the family business one month post-wedding.

Emerging from the establishment, Millie maintained a brisk pace, her rapid strides a physical outlet for her simmering rage. The thought of Joel performing Grandma’s surgery seemed like a far-fetched dream.
After an hour of relentless walking, Millie paused by the road to catch her breath.
Across the road loomed a grand restaurant.
A black luxury car cruised into the restaurant's parking lot, and a figure promptly exited the vehicle. Millie’s gaze inadvertently trailed over, and her eyes widened at the sight of the individual.
Leon was the one who had stepped out of the car. Without a second thought, Millie began to cross the road, intent on reaching Leon.
Despite the unfavorable impression Leon had left on her at the previous night’s party, the potential salvation of her grandmother compelled her not to dismiss him.
Unfortunately, despite her hastened crossing, Millie failed to intercept Leon. Only after Leon had entered the restaurant did Millie manage to reach the entrance, only to be halted by a security guard.

“Why can’t I go in?” Millie queried, casting a glance at the grand building.
“You lack a membership, hence you’re not granted access.”
An idea sparked in Millie’s mind. “I’m acquainted with the gentleman who just went in. | wish to find him.” “Sorry, Miss, you still can’t enter. If you plan to wait for him, please do so outside.”
Speechless, Millie wondered what kind of a restaurant required membership and turned away potential patrons—it seemed like a flawed business model.
Millie harbored little faith in a capricious individual like Gianna. As for Joel, despite having met him, his deceptive appearance hinted at his unscrupulous nature.
