Chapter 496

Sean approached Winston and firmly grabbed his shoulders.

The sight of Winston kneeling left everyone in disbelief, After all, Winston was proud and noble.

As a public figure, he valued his image immensely and took great care to maintain it. He understood that any perceived wrongdoing could not only tarnish his reputation but also diminish his influence and authority in the company and the industry.

He was fully aware of his mistake and was prepared to risk everything to keep Millie. Still…

“Even if she stays, what can you do?” Sean asked sincerely.

Winston sat slowly. He wasn’t sure what he could do as well. It had only been two hours since he found out.

Sean said solemnly. “Win, probably it’s best for both of you to move on.”

Winston gently shook his head. He simply couldn’t get her out of his mind, especially after realizing that she had been the one who saved him. It was simply impossible.

Sean didn’t say anything else. Then, he walked into the boarding bridge. The three slowly disappeared from Winston’s sight.

At the crowded boarding gate, everyone had different expressions–excitement, anticipation, or tiredness. Among them, he was kneeling as if waiting for a miracle to happen.

He couldn’t wait for Millie to forgive him, couldn’t see what the future held, and didn’t know what would happen next. He had been so successful in the business world, but he was now feeling completely lost.

Winston’s bitter smile couldn’t stop the tears from falling. He was painfully aware of his mistakes. If he had spoken to Millie earlier or found another way to thank Joanna instead of marrying her, things might have turned out differently.

However, when Joanna fell seriously ill, she became depressed and clung to him every day. She believed he owed her for the trauma she had experienced. Therefore, it was incredibly challenging for him to tell his savior that he couldn’t marry her.

The reason he had been so kind to Joanna was because she had saved him, and that was why he continued to hurt Millie repeatedly.

However, the root of all these issues was because of Joanna’s lie. She claimed that she was the one who had saved Winston, not Millie. In this misinterpretation, he too became a victim of circumstance.

Millie stood at the end of the boarding bridge, gazing at the distant figure, deep in thought.

“If you don’t want to leave, then stay,” Sean said coldly

Millie chuckled. “Sean, I’m not that stupid.”

“He won’t give up easily. You’ll have to face it sooner or later,” Sean remarked calmly.

“Everyone has to face consequences for their choices. I’ve already faced the consequences and almost lost my life. Shouldn’t it be the same for them? Millie looked at Sean seriously.

Winston must face the consequences of his decision, and that would be fair.

Millie went into the cabin, and Sean followed with a complex expression. She was right. Everyone was ultimately responsible for the results of their decisions,

After Millie vanished from the boarding bridge, Winston couldn’t hold on any longer and passed out.

As Millie gazed at the scenery outside the airplane, she experienced an overwhelming sense of peace. As her face appeared as a faint reflection on the window, she lightly caressed her image.

With a faint smile, she reminded herself. “There’s nothing more important than being happy. You must be happy, Millie. The past seven years have been tough enough. The future can’t be any more difficult.”

Suddenly, her phone rang.
