Chapter 299
“You”
Millie cut him off with a sweet and gentle smile. “Please excuse me, Mr. Lowell. I’m just giving you a taste of your own medicine.”
If Logan humiliated her by offering two million dollars, she would certainly retaliate in the same manner.
Logan snorted. “You’re something, Ms. Caldwell.”
She sneered. “Take the offer, Mr. Lowell. It’s my act of charity.”
Logan stared at the check on the table with mixed feelings. For the first time, he knew how it felt to be humiliated with money. He reflected on his actions, thinking that he and Harriet had been rash.
He rose from his seat. “Millie, I’ll apologize to you.”
She stood up as well. “It’s fine.”
Tucking a 20–dollar bill under the coffee cup, she looked at him with poise. “Consider the coffee my treat.
“Mr, Lowell, I have nothing to do with Joanna’s incident. Don’t ever accuse me baselessly.”
After that, she left without hesitation. She refused to accept his apology, as an apology was meaningless She wanted him to carry the guilt for life.
For a second, Logan was flustered. He stared at Millie in disbelief. She seemed to have become even more brazen in the span of a few hours.
He chuckled in amusement at the sight of her check on the table. Was she for real? This would be the first time any woman had ever offered him two million dollars.
He couldn’t get her temper and her features out of his mind. He ran after her and knocked on her car window.
She looked up at him. He waved the card and handed it over. “I’m sorry for making that offer to you. If you don’t mind, why don’t we have dinner together? I want to make it up to you.”
“Oh, I do mind.” Her rejection came swiftly.
Logan smirked and bent over. Resting his arms on the window, he begged, “Ms. Caldwell, please?
Rolling her eyes, she closed the window. He had no choice but to remove his arms and stumble away. Hey!”
Millie ignored him and drove away as he watched her car with growing interest.
None of the Caldwells were as hot–tempered as Millie.
Millie returned to the hospital instead of going home. As expected, the Cardiac Surgery Department had descended into chaos. Winston, Sebastian, Lainey, and the others congregated in the director’s office.
Yoel stood in front of them, his head hung low, as he was interrogated by the person in charge of the case. “What drove you to write an anonymous letter to expose Joanna Lowell?”

“Are the contents true?”
“Who did you hear it from?”
Millie fixed her eyes on Yoel. He looked up and turned to Millie.
He confessed, “I heard it from Millie Caldwell.”
She was taken aback by his accusation.
Winston stared at her, too. He came to the office dressed in a clean and smart black suit, a bandaid plastered on his cheek.
“When did you hear it from me?” Millie questioned Yoel.
Pursing his lips, he finally admitted, “I overheard your conversation with Joanna when the two of you left the changing room.”
Millie nearly choked in surprise. What happened in the changing room?
