Chapter 124

Millie had guessed it right.

“Is it really you?” she asked with a frown. She struggled to suppress her shock but managed tomaintain a composed facade.

Winston hummed in response, swirling his wine glass as he observed Millie in amusement.

Millie couldn’t believe it. So, she turned to look at James, who awkwardly nodded.

Indeed, this time around, there were no stronger competitors than Winston and Simon. Now, Jameswas caught in a dilemma. Should he grant the land to Winston or Simon?

In truth, it didn’t matter to whom he gave it. He believed both men would make full use of the land.

The problem was that Greer Group had a well–established system and didn’t require assistance.Harrison Corporation, on the other hand, had the growth potential. Hence, James reckoned heshould help a company like that.

However, supporting Harrison Corporation might offend Winston.

James was puzzled, too. Initially, when this land was first made available, Greer Group showed nointerest. Yet, after releasing the competitors‘ information, Winston suddenly wanted it.

‘Millie massaged her temples. She could feel a headache coming. After a while, she askedWinston,” Do you really need this land?”

Winston narrowed his eyes. What did she mean by that?

Millie was about to speak when he reminded her, “Darling, helping outsiders might not be thewisest

move.

Right then, James cleared his throat and asked in a hushed tone, “Mr. Greer, Millie, are you twohaving an argument?”

He sensed awkward tension between them. Millie and Winston turned to look at James almostsimultaneously.

She answered, “No.”

“Yes,” Winston responded.

Their voices echoed in unison.

“Um…” James was at a loss for words.

After that, Winston gazed at Millie and said, “I’m sorry you had to witness that, Mr. Davis. We’vebeen having some arguments lately, and she’s throwing tantrums.”

Millie frowned, glaring at Winston. She thought he was shameless for trying to portray them as aloving couple in public.

Suddenly, Paisley burst into laughter and remarked, “It’s okay. Young women are easy to coax.You

Millie lowered her head and fell silent. There was no chance Winston would comfort her. After all,he was a typical man. Every ounce of tenderness he had was given to Joanna.

Winston looked at James again and spoke seriously, “Mr. Davis, please consider granting this landto

me.”

Millie gave Winston a sidelong glance. Was he actually asking for a favor? She was surprised todiscover that there were projects he had to plead for. It was truly a rare occurrence.

While she was silently mocking Winston, James suddenly asked, “Millie, what do you think? Whoshould get this land?”

Millie was stunned. It was as if someone had splashed a bucket of cold water over her.

Why did James ask her? This was no trivial matter, so how could she just decide who would get it?“Dad, why ask her that? Millie obviously hopes you’ll give it to her husband,” Paisley teased.

› Millie’s expression froze upon hearing that. She couldn’t help but feel guilty. In actuality, she didn’t

want James to grant the land to Winston.

She stole another glance at Winston before saying, “I doubt the Greer Group needs this land.”

Winston frowned at those words as a wave of displeasure washed over him. Milie’s remark clearlysuggested she wanted James to grant the land to Simon. They weren’t even divorced yet, and shewas already protecting Simon.

Thinking about it, Winston seethed with anger. He grabbed his suit jacket and stood up.

“Mr. Davis, we’ll discuss this later,” Winston said sharply. Then, he looked at Millie.

All of a sudden, Millle had a bad feeling. Immediately after, Winston grabbed her wrist and tried tolead her away.

But she didn’t want to follow him. Thus, he scooped her up without hesitation.

Winston’s cold lips brushed against Millie’s ears as he threatened, “Millie Caldwell, if you don’t wantHarrison Corporation to face a crisis because of you, you’d better obey me!”
