But the bombshell didn't end there. The news also reported that Georgia Millen, Victor's ex-wife and the youngest daughter of the Millen family, had been handcuffed alongside Victor after being found in illicit activities at the bar.

In the courtroom, Georgia felt a knot in her stomach as she sat nervously, her heart pounding loudly in her ears as the judges addressed her directly.“Ms. Millen,” the judge began sternly, “You have been charged with involvement in illegal activities in the bar. How do you plead?”The tension in the courtroom was palpable as everyone awaited her response. The camera focused on Georgia’s face capturing every nuance of her uneasy expression.Georgia took a deep breath, attempting to compose herself before speaking. She glanced around the courtroom, acutely aware of the gazes fixed upon her. Despite the advice from her lawyers to remain poised, she couldn't shake off the overwhelming sense of dread that engulfed her.Summoning her courage, Georgia responded, her voice wavering slightly, "I plead not guilty, Your Honor." Her lawyers had advised her to play the victim card, and at this moment, it seemed like her best chance to avoid a severe punishment.However, Georgia's plea elicited mi
Right now, Mara sat in her office at Millen Company with a gloomy expression on her face. She couldn't help but sigh deeply after remembering the footage of Georgia's court appearance. The emotions she had witnessed from Georgia had left a lasting impact on her. “I haven’t visited her in prison… Should I visit her? But what if she pushes me away again?” Mara thought as she contemplated her decision to visit Georgia. The memories of their last encounter flashed in her mind, where Georgia pushed her away and rejected her help, stating that she didn't want any help from the woman she believed was responsible for her family’s downfall, which, of course, wasn’t true since what happened was quite the opposite. Georgia's father was the one who had conned Mara's family, not hers. But even so, Mara couldn’t blame Georgia for her reaction since the truth must be quite shocking for her. Despite everything that had happened between their families, Mara still felt a sense of sadness for Georgi
In the dimly lit confines of her prison cell, Georgia's gloomy day began. The first rays of sunlight pierced through the small window, casting faint streaks of light on the cold concrete floor. The shrill sound of the prison alarm echoed through the corridors, signaling the start of another monotonous day. Georgia groaned as she rolled over on her narrow bed, trying to drown out the harsh reality that awaited her. She had grown accustomed to the routine, but it offered little solace in the face of her current predicament. As the morning bell rang, the inmates were called to gather in the mess hall for breakfast. Georgia joined the line of prisoners, her eyes downcast, avoiding any unnecessary interactions. The atmosphere in the mess hall was tense, with cliques forming among the inmates. Georgia noticed a group of women sitting together, casting disdainful glances her way. They were the same ones who had made her life a living hell since she arrived. She couldn’t help but overhea
The officer led Georgia through the narrow, dimly lit corridors of the prison, each step feeling heavier than the last. Georgia’s mind was still reeling from the unexpected news of a visitor. She couldn’t imagine who would come to see her after everything that had transpired.As they approached the designated room for visitors, Georgia’s heart pounded in her chest. She couldn’t help but hope that it was Greg, who was standing on the other side of that door. The thought of seeing him again after all that had happened stirred a mix of emotions within her.The officer opened the door, and Georgia stepped inside the small, plain room.It had a table with chairs on either side, separated by a transparent screen. On one side, she took her seat, trying to compose herself as she waited for the visitor.As the door behind her closed, Georgia began to feel more curious as she tried to guess the visitor.The anticipation seemed to stretch like an eternity until the door on the other side of the
Georgia’s eyes widened at the unexpected offer. She hadn’t thought about reaching out to Greg, but now that Mara had mentioned it, a part of her felt compelled to do so.However, she quickly tried to diminish her thought, vivid memories of how she had broken his heart and treated him poorly resurfacing.“Oh well… about that, maybe it’s better for me not to bother him,” Georgia replied, attempting to hide her mixed emotions behind a crooked smile. “I mean, what could I possibly say to him after everything that happened…?”“You never know until you try,” Mara replied with a reassuring smile. “But if I were you, I would try it. Greg is a kind and understanding person, and I believe that he would appreciate hearing something from you, even if it’s just to let him know how you’re doing.”“But…What if he doesn’t want to hear from me?” Georgia wondered aloud, her voice tinged with uncertainty. “You know what I did was crucial. I’m not just talking about treating him badly and cheating. I als
