Chapter 1277:
“Is she really not scared?”
“She’s completely alone. Brandon is gone, and she’s surrounded by Egbert’s men. Her life is entirely at their mercy.”
“And yet, she still dares to challenge Egbert. She’s still willing to take a gamble.”
The footage kept playing.
From the surveillance video, Millie’s voice could be heard. Events from long ago were slowly being laid bare to the public.
“Mr. Perez, I’m willing to give up my life for Brandon. Now, who among your people is willing to give up their life for you?”
“Egbert, fortune has smiled upon me in ways it has denied you. I have someone who loves me—someone completely devoted to me.”
“You mean him?”
“Absolutely.” In the video, Millie’s voice was firm and unwavering, revealing the depth of her love and trust for Brandon.
“Don’t forget our bet, Egbert. We were betting lives. And I’m betting on my win.”
The instant she said it, Millie plunged into the icy pool.
Those watching the footage drew in sharp breaths.
Moments later, Brandon rushed in and pulled Millie from the freezing water, her entire body smeared with blood.
Before she left, she looked at Egbert and whispered weakly but firmly, “You gave me your word.”
Then she and Brandon left, abandoning Egbert where he stood in shock as blood pooled across the floor.
When viewers reached the end of the footage, they realized the account owner had made another post.
Two contracts were released as well. The sensitive information had been blurred, but it was obvious that one of the documents was absurd—clearly not meant to be taken seriously.
The second was marked with deep red stains—Millie’s blood.

The caption read, “The blood-stained one is the current contract between the Perez family and Watson Group.”
Everyone online fell silent in shock.
If Egbert had truly planned to partner with Watson Group, there would have been no need for a contract with absurd terms. Looking back now, people finally understood that Millie must have won that life-and-death bet—forcing the signing of the real contract.
That year, Watson Group became the only company to obtain an authentic contract from the Perez family.
What happened afterward was well known throughout Crobert. With support from the Perez family, Watson Group transformed the entire sector and completed a successful restructuring.
“So without Millie taking that risk, Watson Group would have walked away empty-handed, just like everyone else who came to Egbert seeking partnerships.”
“But what about Millie losing so much blood?”
“They said she was pregnant back then, and losing that much blood probably meant she miscarried. Makes sense—look at that icy pool!”
