Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 574

Chapter 574:

Jealousy seethed within her; despite her long-standing efforts, Milly had won Howard’s true love, while she had made no progress.

Milly sighed reluctantly. “Alright.”

Howard’s face twisted in protest.

Nalani lunged, and startled, she instinctively pressed the trigger.

Milly’s face contorted with concern. She moved to aid Howard when he subtly tapped his ring. In an instant, it transformed into a small shield, intercepting the bullet.

Nalani stood frozen, her mouth agape. No wonder the organization wanted Howard so badly—his abilities were truly extraordinary. Even a simple ring could morph into such a formidable shield!

In that split second, Milly materialized behind Nalani, who collapsed to the floor a moment later.

“Is she dead?” Howard asked, his face grim.

“Now she’s just unconscious. I’ll hand her over to the Serpentine Palers,” Milly replied.

Howard breathed a sigh of relief—not out of pity for Nalani, but from an instinctive fear of Milly having blood on her hands. When he noticed the bloodstains on Milly’s shirt, he frowned.

“No need. Going to the hospital would attract too much attention,” Milly said, tipping the hem of her shirt to wrap around her wound. Her practiced movements suggested a history of similar situations.

Howard watched her with a complex mix of emotions.

“What did Nalani mean by what she just said?”

“That?”

“She said you couldn’t harm me,” Howard stared intently at Milly.

“And your past connections with me?” Milly responded in a dismissive tone.

“Confuse you? Don’t worry about it. I’m taking Nalani away,” Milly said. She hoisted Nalani up and exited through the window. Howard watched Milly’s retreating figure, lost in thought.

Downstairs, Madisyn and Andrew were deep in discussion about the engagement date with Elaine. Elaine had reviewed several options, and Madisyn found them agreeable. They ultimately settled on the soonest one.

A hint of something flickered in Andrew’s eyes.

Madisyn spoke up, excitement in her voice. “Mom, should we also pick a date for Andrew and me?”

Elaine, momentarily taken aback, then smiled warmly. “Sure. Let’s replace a date for you two as well! With the New Year around the corner, it’s perfect timing for your engagement as well. We must choose a good day!”

“Great!” Andrew’s eyes sparkled with amusement, his voice gentle and charming. “Elaine, I’ll follow your lead.”

“Sure, I’m so happy lately. Dane is getting married, and you two and Harold are about to get engaged as well,” Elaine said, her voice brimming with joy.

Madisyn playfully pinched Andrew.

“Darling, why are you pinching me?”
