Chapter 1433:
No matter how much time had gone by, she still hadn’t woken up, hovering somewhere between this world and the next.
What Brandon had done still weighed heavily on Myron’s mind. He could still recall every detail from his wedding day as if it had just happened. The way Brandon had forced Millie’s hand, the brutal kidnapping, the threats he made on that bridge, and everything that happened because of Brandon’s feud with Macauley—none of it had faded from memory.
How could Myron just move past all that?
“You’ve been out long enough. It’s time for you to go back,” Myron said quietly and pressed the intercom button.
A caregiver entered the room and motioned for Brandon to leave. Brandon stayed silent. He simply gave Millie one last lingering look before the caregiver rolled him out of the room.
That left Myron alone in the family waiting area.
“Millie…” he whispered, hoping for some sign from her.
But nothing happened. She didn’t stir.
Three days slipped by in that hospital. The ache in his chest felt like it would never heal.
Meanwhile, the world outside kept spinning. So much had changed in those three days.
Crobert had become a whirlwind of news and activity. First, the authorities released their official statement about the disaster.
Macauley and Vivian hadn’t made it out—they died in the explosion and collapse at the factory, unable to escape the chaos in time.
Rescue teams pulled Millie, Ari, Myron, and Brandon out at the last possible moment. Millie remained in critical condition, while the others were stable but still recovering.

Investigators initially ruled that the violence inside the factory was likely self-defense, though a final decision was still pending.
Brandon faced accusations for keeping Vivian locked up against her will, but because of his injuries, he was released on bail for now and would be appearing in court soon.
The entire city was shaken by these revelations. Watson Group felt the impact immediately.
Their stock had already started to tumble a few days earlier, and after news broke about Brandon’s involvement in the illegal detention, things only got worse.
Even though Watson Group had quickly announced Brandon’s resignation as CEO, panic still swept through investors, sending the stock price spiraling even lower.
The entire company was in disarray, and the meeting room was alive with anxious voices.
Babette sat among them, listening as tempers flared and complaints flew. Frustration bubbled up inside her with every word.
“Brandon sure has some nerve, walking away when things got tough!”
“A real CEO wouldn’t pull something like this.”
