Comeback Of The Adored Heiress Book - Chapter: 1038

Milly looked at him unemotionally and said, “That’s your choice, but it’s foolish not to believe it. Howard, how could there be such a fool in the Johns family?”

Just as Howard was about to respond, his phone rang.

It was a colleague, sounding highly alarmed. “Mr. Johns, it appears our Document No. 22 has been stolen, and another company has already filed a patent about it. What should we do?”

A shadow fell over Howard’s face as his phone slipped from his hand.

It was true.

Milly came into his life for the document.

Howard regained his composure and fixed Milly with a cool stare.

“Milly, you never really liked me, did you?”

“Not at all,” Milly replied, her tone frosty.

A sad laugh escaped Howard’s lips before he made a sudden move to reach for Milly.

Milly stepped back and soon vanished with the man.

In a panic, Howard looked around, calling out, “Milly, Milly!”

There was no answer.

She had vanished just like that.

Howard sank to his knees.

Currently, taking a deep breath, Howard realized he needed to move past Milly and focus on his work, especially to rectify the loss the company suffered.

Howard threw himself into his work.

Outside the window, two figures sat in the branches of a sturdy sycamore tree.

“How do you have the heart to see him so disheartened?” a man asked casually.

Through the window, Milly watched Howard, who was lost in his experiments. He always looked his best when immersed in his work.

A melancholic smile crossed Milly’s face. “I don’t, but it’s necessary, or he’d suffer even more.”

The man pondered this, then, noting the sadness on Milly’s face, he couldn’t resist commenting, “This is the first time I’ve seen you look like this. Do you really care for him that much?”

Milly placed a hand over her heart. “My heart beats for him.”

This simple declaration left the man speechless.
