Chapter 483:

Charles questioned the foundation of Millie’s unwavering confidence in her predictions. After all, they were all carefully groomed heirs of distinguished family dynasties, meticulously shaped and molded since their earliest childhood years to inherit vast empires.

When someone truly lacked the necessary skills, they were typically assigned to domestic responsibilities, such as bearing heirs—much like his own father, who devoted his life to pursuing beautiful women and continuously expanding his lineage through countless romantic conquests.

Competent successors instinctively understood the critical importance of managing potential disasters before they struck. And Brandon’s track record spoke volumes about his abilities.

Even though they all considered Brandon utterly reprehensible in matters of romantic relationships, he had successfully guided Watson Group to achieve dominance over Crobert’s three most powerful corporate entities. Aside from this recent misjudgment involving Vivian, his leadership had proven consistently exemplary.

Therefore, he shouldn’t possess such profound blindness as to venture this far into treacherous territory.

However, before Charles could delve deeper into his mounting suspicions, his phone erupted with an urgent call from the company headquarters, informing him that representatives from Watson Group demanded a meeting the following day and insisted that Eva’s presence was absolutely non-negotiable. Charles felt his composure shatter beneath the weight of this unexpected development.

He immediately contacted Millie to share this startling information.

Millie was with Ari at that precise moment. After absorbing the news, she offered only a brief acknowledgment of understanding.

“I must confess, you truly comprehend his psychological patterns with remarkable precision,” Charles muttered through the phone’s speaker, his voice tinged with reluctant admiration.

Millie kept staring at her phone’s screen even after she hung up, as the motionless interface reflected her contemplative expression. She genuinely understood Brandon’s methods with frightening accuracy.

Seven grueling years, saturated with countless moments of life-and-death interdependence, had forged an unbreakable understanding between them—how could such intimate knowledge simply evaporate into nothingness? Yet, the reality of the situation might not align perfectly with Charles’ confident assumptions and carefully constructed theories.

It wasn’t that Brandon remained ignorant of fundamental risk control principles; rather, he was desperately searching for ways to repair the devastating damage after the fact. Unfortunately, Vivian’s blinding influence had completely clouded his judgment. What he perceived as a thoughtful remedy and strategic solution, Vivian interpreted through an entirely different lens that served her own twisted agenda.

Clasping Ari’s small hand firmly in hers, Millie emerged from the school grounds. They exchanged delightful stories about Ari’s entertaining adventures at kindergarten throughout the day. As they approached the familiar street corner, a recognizable vehicle caught their attention.
