But all of this was just a figment of Fiona’s imagination. Lois was keeping a close watch on her, fullyaware that no matter how hard Fiona tried to win Leon over, his inherent integrity would never allowhim to tolerate her devious ways for long.

As Fiona opened the door to leave, she was stopped by Millie, who exuded a powerful presence.

A shiver ran down Fiona’s spine when she realized that something was off with Millie that day.

With a smile, Millie lifted the document she was holding. “These are records of your hotel check-inswith a man named Giovanni. Are you acquainted with him?”

The evidence was undeniable. There were photos and records that couldn’t be refuted.

Millie spat those words out so casually, but they sent a chill down Fiona’s spine. She didn’t expect Millieto have investigated her already.

Why didn’t Lois cover her tracks? Didn’t she promise to erase any evidence that could potentially harmFiona?

“Give it to me.”

In a fit of anger, Fiona lunged forward, attempting to snatch the documents from Millie’s hand.

Millie deftly stepped back, and Fiona’s grab missed its mark.

“| have many copies,” Millie said calmly. “If you take this one, I still have others.

Consider this a gift, in return for your attempt to harm me.”

Fiona’s heart skipped a beat at Millie’s words. How did Millie know what she had done? She began tounderstand that Millie’s recent calm demeanor had been a front for her plans.

Regret washed over Fiona as she realized she had underestimated her foe.

With that, Millie turned and made her way downstairs.

With panic setting in, Fiona stamped her foot in frustration. Leon was downstairs. If Millie showed himthose documents, Fiona would lose everything.

“Millie, stop right there!” she cried out.

Millie strode ahead with purpose, her steps swift and determined. Following closely, Fiona struggled tokeep pace, her ten-centimeter high heels clacking against the pavement in hurried pursuit.

Emerging from the building’s entrance, Millie positioned herself on the steps while Leon remainedseated in the car, his patience evident as he waited.

Just as Millie was poised to move forward, Fiona unexpectedly drew near, seizing Millie’s arm andgasping out her name, “Millie.”

Fiona’s attention flickered towards Leon’s car, her actions abruptly obstructing Millie’s path. A sinistersmile curled upon her lips as she whispered a few insidious words into Millie’s ear.

“Millie, success will elude you.”
