Visiting Fray’s user profile with growing dread, he saw that Fray had also been handed a seven-day suspension.
Previously, Seville had experienced only mild irritation at the situation, but now white-hot rage coursed through his veins. This represented nothing short of pure intimidation. Wasn’t this simply a calculated effort to silence opposing voices? The widespread silence suddenly made perfect sense—everyone had been effectively muzzled through intimidation.
However, Seville possessed the tenacity of someone who refused to surrender without resistance. He swiftly accessed a secondary account, mobilized his network of contacts, and launched a targeted campaign with the hashtag—#YesterdayLiveSound—determined to amplify the suppressed voices.
As the digital movement began gathering momentum across social platforms, Millie found herself staring at a message that had appeared on her phone screen from Brandon.
“My grandfather’s condition has deteriorated significantly. He’s requesting to see you.”
Millie’s fingers tightened around her phone until her knuckles turned white, and Derek’s increasingly frail silhouette materialized in her mind’s eye. She recalled with painful clarity that Brandon’s original motivation for marrying her had been to lift Derek’s spirits during his declining years.
That pivotal day remained etched in her memory—the two of them positioned beside his hospital bed while machines hummed softly in the background. Brandon had clasped her hand with gentle determination and announced, “Grandpa, I’ve brought Millie to visit you. We’re planning to get married soon.”
Despite Derek’s weakening physical state, he had summoned enough strength to point a trembling finger at Brandon and declare, “If your feelings aren’t genuine, don’t squander her precious years. I refuse to accept sacrifices made solely for my momentary happiness!”
The Watson family’s meteoric ascent had originated when Derek first ventured into the business world decades earlier. He had become the unwavering foundation upon which the entire Watson empire was built. When Derek spoke, every family member and business associate listened with reverent attention.
How could anyone witness such selfless concern without feeling deeply moved? That sacred day, Brandon had made a solemn vow at Derek’s bedside, swearing that his love was authentic and promising to cherish Millie throughout their shared lifetime.
But circumstances had shifted dramatically since then.
At last, Millie squeezed her eyes shut and let the weight of reality settle over her shoulders. Time had proven itself a relentless force of transformation. Brandon had already initiated divorce proceedings, and they had made their obligatory appearance at the courthouse together just days before.
Concealing the news from Derek represented the maximum extent of protection she could provide. There existed no additional actions she could take, nor any she possessed the emotional strength to attempt.
With that sobering realization settling over her, Millie closed the chat application with finality.
Across the sprawling city, Brandon remained frozen in the plush leather seat of his midnight-black Bentley, his eyes fixed on the message he had sent with mounting desperation. Three excruciating minutes had elapsed since then. Millie’s response remained conspicuously absent from his screen.
Brandon scrolled upward through their conversation history and experienced a jarring realization—the last time she had initiated contact was before their courthouse appointment.
