Chapter 415:
At that time, they didn’t know the full truth. But now, it was clear. Serena was Millie all along, which was likely why both the Watson Group and the Elliott Group had supported her.
One of the business partners turned to Myron and asked, “Mr. Elliott, at the Evans estate that day, did you allow your brother to go and show support for Serena because you already knew her true identity?” Myron smiled but didn’t answer directly.
He simply replied, “The Elliott Group values Serena for her talent, her potential, and the returns she brings.”
The man nodded, understanding immediately. They were all businesspeople. Even if Serena was truly Millie, she remained Brandon’s wife, and that had little to do with the Elliott Group. At most, it was just about Jayceon being a fan. But what truly mattered was Serena’s talent.
Everyone accepted that and moved on to mingle with the others.
Soon, guests began to leave one by one. Outside, a huge crowd had gathered. Many were fans of the contestants, but even more had come hoping to catch a glimpse of Millie and Vivian. The media wasn’t far behind.
With both Brandon’s wife and his rumored mistress appearing on the same show, it was a media goldmine.
Given the online buzz, every outlet wanted to jump on the story. The moment Millie stepped out, people rushed toward her like a tidal wave. Microphones filled the air as reporters fired questions.
“Why did you wear a mask during the competition?”
“What did you think when you found out Vivian was a judge?”
“Now that you’ve won, what are your plans going forward?”
Flashbulbs from their cameras lit up the night like fireworks.
Charles’ security team quickly surrounded Millie, carving out a space for her. Calm and composed, Millie answered a few questions but avoided any mention of Vivian.
She smiled and said, “The mask was a decision made together with Evans Entertainment.”

She continued, “Winning Heavenly Melody was only possible because of the love and support from everyone—those here and those watching from home. Thank you all so much.”
She then bowed deeply before the crowd.
“As for what comes next, I’ll discuss my future plans with Evans Entertainment. I hope you’ll all continue supporting me.”
After that, she ignored every question about Vivian or Brandon and headed straight for the SUV, which was protected by the guards. Just before the vehicle pulled away, a loud voice rang out.
“Vivian’s out! Surround her!”
Millie watched as the crowd swerved toward Vivian.
Barbara’s face lit up with glee.
“She’s been attacking us online for weeks. Let’s see how she handles the heat now!” she said, clearly enjoying the moment.
But Millie wasn’t so sure it would be that easy. Vivian was a pro at managing her image. How she’d spin this mess was yet to be seen.
