Chapter 1153

Chapter 1153:

“I know I made a mistake. But I don’t regret it. I couldn’t stand by and let him say those things about you.”

Sadie listened and immediately guessed who Milly was speaking to. She massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming on. On one hand, she was touched by Milly’s loyalty and connection to this person. On the other, she couldn’t ignore the storm brewing around Milly’s impulsive decision.

The timing couldn’t have been worse. Public perception had paired Milly and Watkins as the ideal couple, their on-screen chemistry fueling countless fan fantasies. Now, with Milly’s boyfriend publicly revealed—and appearing, at least on the surface, inferior to Watkins—the backlash was almost inevitable.

On the other end of the line, Howard had already been updated by Madisyn about the steps Edge Entertainment was taking. His voice was calm and reassuring.

“Darling, how could I ever blame you for standing up for me? Knowing you care so deeply means the world to me,” he said.

“And you don’t need to worry about Madisyn. She’s already taken care of everything. If you don’t believe me, check Edge Entertainment’s Twitter.”

Milly lowered her phone slightly, her curiosity piqued. She opened Edge Entertainment’s official Twitter account and found two freshly updated posts.

The first post was a congratulatory message: “Wishing Milly happiness and continued success in both her career and love life!”

The second post announced legal action: “Edge Entertainment will pursue legal action against the paparazzo involved in the unauthorized surveillance and secret filming of Milly Duncan. We are committed to protecting our artists’ rights and privacy.”

“Did you see it?” Howard’s voice broke through the line.

Milly’s eyes remained glued to the screen. The posts weren’t what she had expected, and her heart softened as she took them in. They reminded her of when she first met…

Howard—an unfamiliar but comforting feeling that made her lips curve into a slight smile.

“I saw it,” she replied softly.

“I need to thank Madisyn for her support, and thank you, too.”

Sadie noticed that Milly was looking at Twitter and followed suit. She discovered that the company had not abandoned Milly as she had thought. Instead, it fully supported her, which felt so unreal—like a dream.

After Milly ended her call, she leaned back with newfound calm, ready to return to Edge Entertainment. Sadie, however, remained frozen, her voice breaking the silence.

“Milly, pinch me. I must be dreaming.

Miss Johns actually stood up for you.”

Milly turned her head to look at Sadie, amused.

“Miss Johns has always been kind. You’ve told me that yourself.”

Sadie stammered, still processing the news, “I did say that… but this? Other companies would’ve dropped their artists without hesitation or left them in limbo. Yet Miss Johns defended you publicly.
