The whole department was abuzz with excitement.
Meanwhile, Emerie slipped out of the office, face twisted into a grimace. Their
worst fear had come true.
After leaving her office, Emerie hastily dialed Nancy's number, relaying
everything that had unfolded.
On the other end of the call, Nancy was livid, feeling a burning humiliation as
though Millie were flaunting her success.
Cursing under her breath, she believed that now everyone saw Millie's brilliance,
and her own accomplishments had been overshadowed in the blink of an eye.
“Are you okay?" After she finished speaking, there was a silence on the other end
of the line. Emerie’s voice was tinged with concern.
Nancy took a deep breath, her voice cold. ““Emerie, find someone to track Millie.
I want her out of the picture.”

very serious. Even though you've been lucky, death is still a real possibility.”
Though he had been indifferent to many things, Harlan had grappled with the
situation concerning Marcus. He could not let his friend face such a fate.
Harlan couldn't fathom what could possibly hold Marcus in Preagend.
The business dealings of the Thomas Group paled in comparison to Raven
Island's dealing. That explained Victor's earnest desire for Marcus to take over
the latter.
“I have no love for that place,” Marcus replied in a chilly tone.

Only Millie's presence brought warmth into his life.
