Chapter 458
Millie cast a wary look at Joanna.
Joanna raised a brow in amusement, saying, “I won’t hurt you. We’re at a party with people all around us Millie shrugged. She wasn’t exactly afraid of her anyway.
They took their seats at the same time. Not far away, Jake was drinking and enjoying the ocean view while stealing occasional glances at the two women.
Joanna sat across from Millie with her arms crossed, looking just like a young lady who grew up in wealth. On the contrary, Millie casually lounged on her chair, looking elegant and at ease.
Millie’s evening dress was way more graceful than Joanna’s. On top of that, she was blessed with great looks. Sitting beside Millie only highlighted Joanna’s flaws–she was no match for her.
However, that was the least of Joanna’s concerns that night. After a short silence, she began, “Let’s start with Winston’s abduction.”
Millie was caught off guard for a moment, as she had never openly discussed that incident with Joanna over the years.
Smiling, Joanna asked her, “Have you not told Winston that it was you who saved him, after all these years?”
Millie narrowed her eyes. Joanna knew about the truth because they were good friends back then. After Millie regained consciousness, she told Joanna and Rachel the truth.
At that time, Joanna looked shocked and praised Millie for her courage and willingness to risk everything for Winston. She claimed she wouldn’t have had the guts to do the same. According to Joanna, she might not have risked her life to save Winston as she probably put herself above him.
Faced with the same life–and–death situation, Joanna would not risk her life to save Winston. She only cared for Winston due to his good looks, social status, and net worth.
She coveted Winston because he used to be Millie’s man.
“I haven’t,” Millie replied calmly. She then turned her attention to the ocean.
Joanna’s eyes traveled in the same direction. “Are you still scared of the ocean?”
Why didn’t you tell him the truth, Millie?” Joanna glanced at her from the corner of her eye, sounding like she was probing around.
Millie chuckled. “Do we really need to bring up love all the time if we truly love someone? Do I need to constantly remind him that I saved his life?”
Joanna shook her head. “But Millie, Winston has no idea that it was you who saved him.”
