Then she thought about how much the story had changed online.
People were talking about Vivian’s illness, her relationship with Brandon. And Millie’s name—Brandon’s official wife—had resurfaced because of it. The internet had quickly dug up her past, including her background as the Bennett family’s only heiress.
Once, Brandon had protected her and her mother. But now, with the public fixated on his relationship with Vivian, it was easy to believe that protection was gone. And some people might finally feel free to act.
There was also the matter of Brandon’s enemies—people who might target her to get to him. When he took over the reins of Watson Group, he didn’t just inherit a powerful company—he inherited resentment.
And then there were other things, smaller on the surface but still strange. Like Macauley Valdez. The former procurement manager had been abruptly fired nearly a year ago.
It was around the time she and Brandon got married, and she remembered that the whole thing didn’t end well.
Millie still remembered bumping into Macauley that day. His look had been mysterious—dry amusement mixed with something sharper.
He’d looked Brandon straight in the eye and said, “Brandon, this is your wife?” The tone was off. Their marriage wasn’t private. Everyone at Watson Group knew who she was.
She’d been showing up regularly by Brandon’s side for years, especially after graduation. There was no way Macauley, as a department head, didn’t know her. Which meant something else was going on.
She’d asked Brandon about it back then. He had shut the conversation down before she could finish her sentence.
Now, sitting across from the police, Millie shared everything she remembered, hoping they’d be able to get to the bottom of it.
After noting everything down, the officers got ready to leave. Just before stepping out, Lynda turned back. “By the way, your car’s been repaired,” she said. “You can pick it up when you’re feeling better.”

Millie nodded. “Thank you, officer.”
The moment they returned to the station, the team began sorting through the case.
They placed photos of everyone involved—Brandon, Vivian, Macauley—on a board and jotted down details.
“These are all potential suspects. Do we start questioning them?” one officer asked. “Should we begin with the husband?”
Lynda thought back to the day she had used Millie’s phone to call Brandon, and how he hadn’t picked up. “They’re all too close to each other,” she said after a moment. “This has to be handled carefully.”
The officer who had visited the hospital with her nodded. “It’s indeed strange. His wife was in a hit-and-run, and instead of checking on her, he was with another woman. Ignored every call.”
Another officer passed over a report. “Just came in—Brandon and Millie are getting divorced.”
The room went quiet for a moment.
It wasn’t the first time they’d handled a case where a man hurt his wife just to be with his lover, or where both the husband and the lover were involved. After going back and forth, the team leader finally said, “We’ll go by the book. At some point, we’ll have to talk to Brandon. But we also need to keep our eyes open—he might not be the only one with a reason to want her gone. The connections here are tangled, and the lack of physical evidence makes it harder. We’ll need tact—and pressure,” he said, turning to Lynda. “You’ll take the lead. Decide how to approach them, who we speak to first, and how we gather what we need.”
