George returned home with a big smile on his face. He couldn't believe what he just heard as he looked at the photo on his phone! "Mara... and Greg... Who would have guessed that these two lowly people know each other?" George mused, a mix of disbelief and satisfaction in his thoughts. It seemed almost unbelievable, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of delight at this unexpected revelation. Somehow, the mere possession of this photo had managed to brighten George's day, erasing the frustrations that had weighed on him earlier. It was as if a stroke of luck had washed away his previous discontent, replacing it with a renewed sense of purpose. With the significance of the photo sinking in, George's mind raced with possibilities. This unexpected leverage had the potential to be a powerful tool in his hands. It could reshape the dynamics within the Millen household and turn the tables in his favor. "Well, I must admit that for once David is useful! He's not that loser I thoug
Greg now found himself preparing for The Millen party, a place he never thought he would set foot in again. A crooked smile tugged at his lips as he pondered the irony of the situation. Who would have known that he, the one they once looked down upon as a tramp and a trash son-in-law, would return to this very place? Unpleasant memories of his divorce and the judgment he faced resurfaced in Greg's mind. The disdainful glances, the whispers behind his back—all of it came rushing back. But Greg was determined not to let those memories tarnish his evening. As he adjusted his tie, the door to his room swung open, and Dylan walked in with his usual nonchalant demeanor. "Ready to go?" Dylan asked, his eyes scanning Greg's choice of attire. Greg nodded confidently. "I'm all set. Let's get this show on the road." Dylan's gaze settled on the old blazer Greg had chosen to wear, and a look of mild disbelief crossed his face. "Seriously, out of all the clothes you have, you had to pick th
The ballroom was filled with anticipation as Mara and Greg waited for the announcement. Time seemed to crawl, and Mara couldn't help but feel her excitement grow with each passing moment. "You look pretty excited," Greg remarked, his eyes fixated on Mara's joyful expression. "Ah, you noticed it, huh?” asked Mara. “Of course, how come I didn’t notice it if you have been smiling non-stop since we sat down," Greg said, which made Mara chuckle. “Well, you’re not wrong. Of course, I’m excited. How come I didn’t feel that way if this is the moment I already waited for a long time? Now that I’m back to being the Heiress, my mom’s life and I will get better!” said Mara, making Greg smile. “That’s true,” Greg agreed. “You deserve it. After all, the company was yours from the start. I have no doubt you'll rise to the occasion and bring Millen to new heights. "Absolutely. Despite the challenges Millen faces now, I believe we can overcome them. This collaboration with Vonicon will be the c

The sound reverberated through the grand space, causing heads to turn in search of the source.In the midst of the hushed atmosphere, Mara stood with her face flushed red. Emotions of shock, disbelief, and anger are visible on her face as she looks at the stage.“M—Mara,” Greg uttered, his voice filled with concern and surprise as he witnessed the raw emotion pouring out of her.Undeterred by the curious gazes and hushed murmurs around her, Mara strode forward with unwavering determination. Each step resonated with a burning resolve as she made her way towards the stage, where Mr. Millen stood.As Mara reached the stage, her gaze locked immediately with Mr. Millen. “Y—You…” Mara said, her voice trembled with a mix of anger and disbelief. ”YOU’RE LYING!

In Millen’s Garden, the weight of the murmurs bore down on Mara's heart, and the room seemed to close in around her. The truth of her past and the prejudices associated with it unfolded before her eyes, leaving her feeling vulnerable and betrayed. The emptiness of Mr. Millen's promises stripped away her hopes and dreams, replaced by an overwhelming mix of disappointment, shame, and sadness. “Hiks…How could he just back down from his words just like that?” Mara thought, her voice drowned out by the sound of her sobs. She couldn’t help but feel the pain from Mr. Millen’s betrayal weighs heavily on her. It felt as though the ground had crumbled beneath her feet, leaving her adrift in a sea of emotions! As Mara continues to cry, unbeknownst to her Greg is secretly watching her from afar. “Huh… I should have thought that someone like Millen won’t let her get it easily,” Greg thought before he decided to approach her. After Greg is already in front of her, Mara still didn't notice

As Mara and Greg entered The Oldy Cafe, they immediately settled in their usual spot. The cozy ambiance and familiar surroundings provided them with a sense of comfort.They perused the menu and made their selections, eagerly anticipating their favorite dishes. As the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, Mara and Greg engaged in lively conversation. The ease with which they communicated was a testament to their strong connection."What? Really?! So you're just getting a new collaboration with Barons Company?! The company that was owned by Baronica Baron?" Greg asked, and Mara immediately nodded."Yeah, it's true! Haha, it's unbelievable, right?! I, myself, also can't believe it! Like at first, they seemed fussy and disliked my idea, but the next thing I knew, they accepted my proposal!" Mara exclaimed, a mixture of pride and disbelief evident in her voice."Well, that's good for you, then! It means that your business ability has increased! You deserve all the success that co
As Mara and Greg walked out of The Oldy Cafe, they continued their conversation, savoring the last few moments of their time together. The evening breeze gently rustled the leaves, creating a soothing atmosphere. "You know, Mara, it's always a pleasure spending time with you," Greg said, a warm smile gracing his lips. "Our conversations are always so engaging and meaningful." Mara grinned, her eyes shining with appreciation. "Likewise, Greg. You have a way of making me feel heard and understood. It's a rare quality to find in someone." As they reached a crossroads, the time to part ways had reluctantly arrived. Greg began walking towards his apartment, deep in thought about their earlier conversation. “Sometimes, I can just feel it from the way you talk and the way you solve problems. I don’t know how, but you can always solve everything quickly as if you’ve already been through all of this. I wonder if there’s more to you than meets the eye.” Remembering that, Greg couldn’t h
