âMillie Caldwell, that was low! The incident happened a while ago! Why would you dig it up at this time? Is this your revenge against my family because Winston is divorcing you?â
Staring at Joanna, Millie finally understood the reason behind her anger. Joanna mistakenly thought it was Millie who had released the news to the media.
She scrambled up from the bed, but Joanna tried to shove her again. She slapped Joannaâs hand away. causing the latter to stagger backward.
Scowling, Joanna glowered at Millle.
Millie gracefully tidied her shirt and her hair. Then, she fixed her gaze on Joanna. âIt wasnât me.â
âQuit acting! You always act like a goody two shoes, when in reality, youâre the most hypocritical and shameless of all!â Joanna pointed a finger at Millie. Her eyes hardened with anger.
When the media covered the Snowdrop incident, she and the Lowells instantly became social pariahs. Reputational damage aside, the scandal had affected the stock price of Lowell Group.
âI told you it wasnât me. Joanna, stop making a scene and get the fuck out of my room!â Millieâs patience gradually wore thin.
âMillie Caldwell, I need you to immediately host a press conference and admit that you tipped off the media. I need you to issue an apology to my family!â Joanna gripped Millieâs arm, resentment flashing across her eyes.

âFirst of all, I had nothing to do with the exposé. Secondly, even if I did it, I would still be stating the facts. Why would I apologize for telling the truth?â Millie pushed Joanna away irritatedly.
Joanna, who had always acted like a fragile flower, suddenly turned into a beast when she was around Millie.
She hissed, âMillie, youâre a coward who refuses to own up to your actions!â
Millie removed her patient uniform and tossed it onto the bed. Then, she confronted Joanna coldly, âAnd what about you?â
What about her? Joanna was taken aback by the question.
âMs. Lowell, did you own up to your actions?â Millie narrowed her eyes and inched closer to Joanna.â -Dare you tell the world that you got into medical school by impersonating me?â
Joannaâs expression froze. Gulping with a frown, she began, âMillieâ¦â
âAlso, you claimed that you saw ghosts when you were super sick a few days agoâ¦â Millie nearly broke out laughing at the absurd situation. Her smile twisted into a scowl.
âDare you admit to kidnapping me and drowning me?â Millie gripped Joannaâs collar and hissed in a dismal and devilish voice.
The light instantly faded from Joannaâs eyes, leaving behind nothing but fear. She thought, âHow did Millie
know that I was behind her kidnapping?â
*Joanna, you cannot keep secrets forever. I, Millie Caldwell, am not to be messed with. Do not take advantage of my tolerance to fuck around. Got it?â
