Millie brushed off the spot where the man had touched her. She looked at him with an indifferent and contemptuous gaze. “Stop pestering me. Otherwise, you’ll be sorry.
Already irritated by Gideon’s advances, Millie grew even more annoyed when his son appeared. Did they think she was some pushover? Was she to be bullied and stepped on by everyone?
Just as Millie was about to leave, she heard a booming male voice from outside.
“Well, well, who has the nerve to try and make my son regret something?”
Millie lifted her head, only to see Gideon walking in.
At the sight of his father, Remy Anderson rushed over, shouting, “Dad, it’s her! She’s got me all worked up. I want her dead and to disappear from Yerwick!”
Both Millie and Winston narrowed their eyes almost simultaneously. They couldn’t believe Remy had the audacity to say such words.

At that moment, the silence in the restroom was deafening.

After saying that, he pushed Remy’s arm forcefully, signaling him to take a closer look at Winston. Did three years of studying abroad make him lose his common. sense?
> “Mr. Anderson, make sure your son behaves!” Millie warned Gideon.
Having said that, she pulled Winston out.
When Remy tried to follow, Gideon grabbed and shoved him into one of the cubicles, scolding, “You scoundrel! Do you know who that was just now?”
Millie and Winston had left the restroom, but they could still hear Gideon chastising Remy.
“That was Winston Greer, the CEO of Greer Group, and his wife, Millie Caldwell! Where do you get the nerve to make them disappear? Stay here and reflect on your actions!”
Millie led Winston to the elevator. When they came to a stop, she cast a quick look at the restroom. The memory of Gideon harassing her earlier left her deeply unsettled.

Millie glanced at him but said nothing. So, he interpreted it as her tacit, acknowledgment.
