Chapter 630:

“Millie, I told you I’ve been busy,” he replied, struggling to keep his temper in check.

But she wouldn’t let him walk away. She needed an answer.

At that time, Brandon had been hearing about Darden’s own issues—how his girlfriend was throwing fits and threatening to harm herself just to get his attention. Darden had complained to him over drinks more than once.

That’s when another thought crept into Brandon’s mind.

“Millie, are you having someone send you those photos and pretending they came from Vivian? Just so you can confront me?”

“What did you just say?”

Even now, he could still remember the color draining from her face, her eyes filling with disbelief and hurt.

That day, Brandon and Millie had a vicious argument. By the time it ended, her cheeks were wet with tears, while he felt nothing but annoyance.

Wanting to distance himself from the situation, he turned to leave. But before he could, she called out after him, “Brandon, after all these years, after everything we’ve shared, is that truly what you think of me? That I’d forge documents and lie just to frame someone else and get your attention?”

He stayed silent for a moment before grabbing his jacket and heading for the door.

But just as he reached the entrance, a sharp crash of breaking glass echoed from behind him.

It wasn’t until later that the maids told him what had happened.

“Mrs. Watson’s hands were trembling so much she dropped the glass.”

“She felt nauseous and started vomiting, but the doctor said nothing serious was wrong.”

“Mr. Watson, Mrs. Watson has been in low spirits and crying. Would you like to check on her?”

At the time, he’d written it off as nothing more than a ploy to make him soften.

But now…

Brandon’s gaze locked onto the bold letters stamped across the medical report—“Psychosomatic Symptoms.” The truth hit him hard, knocking the wind out of him as if the room had been stripped of every breath.

He realized how wrong he had been.

He knew all too well that after her father’s death, Millie had gone from a pampered heiress to an ordinary woman. Even after her mother married Hayden, Hayden had treated Millie with relentless cruelty.

When Hayden ended up in prison, Millie’s relationship with her mother only grew colder.

Brandon had always known that Millie leaned on him for everything—her one source of love, her anchor, her family.

And yet, he had betrayed her.

He couldn’t begin to imagine what must have gone through her heart the moment he walked away that day.
