Chapter31: Never Again

The runway show was more successful than they had expected. The "Burning Starry Sky" clothing line even entered became a trending topic. Alongside that on trending was Lesly’s incident of "pushing" a pregnant woman. Taking advantage of the attention, Lesly posted the surveillance video to clear her name. She then posted, "That was just an accident. I didn’t think that I would be misunderstood. Here’s my proof. The video shows that I did not push the pregnant woman. She fell down by herself." As soon as this video was uploaded, public opinion changed immediately. The people who had cursed Lesly, soon realized that the pregnant woman in the video had used them. So they immediately turned against Millie, who took advantage of the whole situation to act pitiful. Lesly recalled Millie’s threatening words and did not show any mercy. She asked Finley to release Millie’s personal information. As soon as they found that information, they immediately rushed to Millie like a tide. They cursed and criticized her. Whether it was clearing her name or solving problems in her workplace, Lesly handled them properly. ...... On the other side, in the hospital. "B*tch!" Millie angrily threw her phone. "Lesly, you b*tch!" Smashing her phone was not enough to relieve her anger. Millie also threw all the things on the bedside table onto the floor. The room was a mess after her tantrum. She was actually fooled by Lesly. Ever since her accident, that b*tch had begun to plot against her. Now, the Internet was full of criticism towards her. No, she could not lose against Lesly. Millie got out of bed and picked up her phone. She had spent a lot of money to delete all those videos of her. However, the one that Lesly had posted could not be deleted as only Lesly herself could delete it. What should she do? Millie thought about it again and again and immediately dialed "Dark’s" number. "I want you to hack Lesly’s account, now!" "Alright, but if you want it done now, it will cost 200,000 dollars." "Okay." Millie agreed and proceeded to transfer the money immediately. In the process, she realized that her balance was not enough. She was stunned. How could she not have enough money? She remembered that she still had a few million. Millie checked through her transactions. Over the past few days, in order to get rid of Lesly, she had sent more than four million dollars to “Dark". Now, there were only a few thousand dollars left in her card. She did not have enough money! D*mn it, how could she get rid of Lesly if she had no money? That’s right! She could ask Gavin for money. Since Gavin owed her, he would definitely give it to her. Millie was filled with anticipation as she called Gavin. "Gavin, are you busy today?" Millie said in a gentle voice, "I want to see you." On the other side, Gavin’s voice was calm and devoid of emotions. "I can’t go over today as I have an important meeting later." "I see..." Millie sounded disappointed, "What about tomorrow?" Gavin remained silent. He looked at his schedule, which wrote, "Tomorrow, a day off." "I don’t have time tomorrow either." Gavin lied. Millie gripped the phone tightly. Her heart was full of resentment, but she didn’t dare to show it. "It’s okay, I just... I just don’t have enough money recently. Could you lend me some? It may be a bit much." Gavin was not stingy when it came to money. "How much do you want?" Millie curled her lips as her eyes were full of venom. "I want 10 million." Gavin hesitated for a second and agreed. "Okay, I’ll call tell someone to transfer it to you. Take it as compensation for your child." Millie was overjoyed. "Gavin, thank you for treating me so well." "Millie." Gavin leaned back against his seat. His eyes were dark. "Tell me the truth, how did you lose your child?" Millie was stunned. "Gavin, what do you mean?" Gavin looked sideways at his tablet. It was Lesly’s social media account. "I know everything about what had happened online." Millie’s face turned pale. She stammered, "That... It’s all a misunderstanding. I don’t know what’s going on either. I asked you for money because I want to deal with this matter. I didn’t mean to frame Ms. Atkins. Gavin, you have to believe me..." Gavin said with a straight face, "That’s enough. Millie, I won’t investigate further for this matter. I only want to tell you that it won’t happen again."
