No one had expected her to get a good husband with a caring mother–in–law. Most importantly, she now looked more beautiful than ever, so it was hard for the others to not envy her.
Aurelia wanted to end the conversation, but Kimberly’s words led others to keep throwing questions
at her.
Millie was completely ignored.
For the entire morning, she had bathed in attention. After being just an ordinary girl for 20 years, she finally had a taste of what it was like to be in the spotlight.
Yet, Aurelia’s appearance had put her back in her place.
She bit her lip in resentment and darted out of the office. Standing by the window at the end of the corridor, she took her phone out and texted Jackson once again.
None of her texts had been replied to.

Millie was so focused on her phone that she didn’t notice Kimberly approaching.
“Millie, are you alright?”
Millie feigned a casual attitude and turned to smile at Kimberly. “I’m fine. Why won’t I be?”
“That’s good. They were just joking. Don’t take it personally. Aurelia probably doesn’t know that you’ll be dressing up so beautifully today. Maybe that’s why she dressed up today too. Everyone likes looking
pretty, after all.”
Kimberly had always been great with her words and she could see through the likes of Millie.
Millie was short–sighted and the calmer she appeared, the more hysterical she actually was deep down.
At a moment like this, she simply needed a little push to get suspicious.
Indeed, Kimberly was right.
Millie gritted her teeth. “How could she not know? She even asked who bought these forthis morning.”
Kimberly becnervous. “Did you tell her?”
“Of course not. She’s already married. What’s the point of asking about someone else’s boyfriend?” Millie said impatiently.
Kimberly relaxed a bit. In their current situation, Millie was even less likely to spill the beans.
“So, she knew, huh? Then, why did she cto the company dressed like this? Wasn’t she supposed

to take the day off to accompany her mom during the surgery?
“She rushed to One Technology this morning, and I was scared. She wanted to take the credit for my work. And since the company arranged it, I couldn’t do anything about it.”
“She went to One Technology?” Millie asked in surprise.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeah, she snatched the contract to sign her non it. She even said I copied her plan. It sounds absurd. If I really copied her idea, why would the boss agree to sendto One Technology? With Ber making a scene, I’m afraid she’ll becour supervisor in the future.” Kimberly sighed.
Millie was stunned for a moment. Although she was not very savvy in the workplace, she could understand sof what Kimberly said.
This time, Zachary and Kimberly must have had sconnection with Aurelia regarding the proposal they brought to One Technology.
The question of who copied who was not that important. What mattered was who the boss sided with
The proposal would belong to whoever the boss sided with, and they would be the future vice director.
Millie simply couldn’t stand the idea of Aurelia having everything she could ever want while embarrassing her. She was so angry that she couldn’t think clearly, and she snorted
“She keeps saying how worried she is about her mom, but as soon as she thinks she’ll lose credit, she runs over to stir up trouble. She even toldnot to be too eager for success. She’s just saying one thing and doing another. Why should she get to be the vice director?”
“The contract has already been signed. There’s nothing we can do now, unless …Forget it, you’re her good friend. Why am I telling you all this? Don’t accuseof sowing discord later. I’m going back to work.”
Kimberly was not in a hurry. She turned and left, took a few steps, then stopped and looked back at Millie.
“Millie, don’t send messages to Jackson anymore,” she added on purpose.
As soon as she heard Jackson’s name, Millie’s expression changed. She stepped forward and grabbed Kimberly’s arm.
“Why are you tellingnot to message him? Did he say something to you? Tell me.”
