Chapter 229

“Stop calling my name! It disgusts me!” Millie hissed at Winston.

In a second, she switched from being warm to heartless.

He grabbed onto his shirt. Did she just call him disgusting? Her impudent reaction wascharacteristic of

her.

“Meet with your Joanna and marry her! I wish you all the best!” She grabbed the apples from thebedside table and hurled them at him. “Get lost right now!”

Millie didn’t want him around for even a second longer. Did he seriously think that Joanna’s life wasworth more than hers?

He even had the guts to claim that Joanna was different from her. She thought, “Well, of coursewe’re different–l came from a much more distinguished family than Joanna!”

Winston became deflated after Millie lashed out at him. Seething, he muttered under his breath,Unbelievable!”

With that, he left without looking back. She held tightly to her blanket until she heard the door slamshut. Silence was restored in the room. At that moment, she felt as though something had scaldedthe back of

her hand.

After a sleepless night, Millie went out to jog at 6:00 am. When she returned to the building, shenoticed) everyone huddled together, gossiping.

Someone commented, “The Snowdrop incident happened ages ago. Who dug it up?”

“The news headlines were overwhelmingly critical of Joanna Lowell. I bet this is likely the doing ofher rival. Who would that be, you think?”

“Everyone knows that she’s into Winston Greer. Millie Caldwell is Winston Greer’s wife. Say, couldMillie Caldwell have tipped off the media?”

Millie, who happened to hear her name when she walked past, replied icily, “It wasn’t me.” Then,she hurried back to her room, where she checked the news on her phone.

The incident on Selma’s birthday, where Joanna gifted the old lady a fake Snowdrop herb, hadexploded over the internet in a suspiciously orchestrated manner.

Various media outlets published the news with Joanna’s photo as they criticized her for giftingSelma Sigmund a fake Snowdrop herb.

“Scandal Alert: Lowell Group Gifts Selma Sigmund a Fake Snowdrop Herb! A Slap on the Face?”

“Birthday Drama: Joanna Lowell’s Fake Snowdrop Herb Gift Sparks Selma Sigmund’s Fury!”

“Birthday Bombshell: Joanna Lowell’s ‘Snowdrop Herb Exposed as Cheap Herb! What’s theLowells‘ Real Motive?”

Joanna and the Lowells immediately became the target of public scrutiny. A commenter wrote,“Oh, the news finally broke. Kudos to the Lowells for keeping it under wraps for days, though!”

Another chimed in, “Did Joanna claim that she presented a Snowdrop herb when all she boughtwas a fake one? That’s ridiculous!”

Someone clarified, “Millie was the one who bought Selma the real Snowdrop herb. Look–this iswhat the herb looks like. The picture is proof!”

“Why would the powerful Lowells send Selma a fake gift, especially when Joanna and Winston areclose? Isn’t this blatant disrespect to the Greers? They totally deserve the backlash!”

Millie read the news with a frown. Why did the media dig up the issue that had happened a whileback?

In her confusion, someone flung her door open. Joanna angrily marched in, a jacket hangingperilously off one of her shoulders.

When she set sight on Millie, she immediately shoved her onto the bed. “Millie Caldwell, are youcrazy?” She was practically hissing and breathing fire as she grabbed Millie’s collar.

Perplexed, Millie frowned and stared at Joanna. “What are you talking about?”

“Playing dumb, are we?” Joanna’s shrill voice scratched Millie’s eardrums. She was about to showMillie the news on her phone when she realized that Millie was doing the same.

She snatched Millie’s phone and pointed at the headlines. “Isn’t this your doing?”
