Chapter 431

“What? You’re resigning?” Lainey was confused when Millie handed her a resignation letter.

Vanessa was getting ready to share an update on her work when she saw Millie quitting. She was shocked as well because she believed things were going smoothly. She couldn’t grasp why Millie had made a sudden decision to leave.

Millie was determined. “Yes, Dr. Quinn. I’m resigning.”

Lainey looked concerned as she read through Millie’s resignation, feeling a mix of emotions. Millie didn’t give a specific reason for her resignation. It seemed as though she simply didn’t want to work at the hospital anymore.

Lainey asked again, “Have you thought it through?”

Millie nodded again.

Lainey remained silent. Millie was hoping for Lainey’s approval.

Meanwhile, Vanessa frowned and seemed unwell. Millie looked at Vanessa, who frowned and then walked out.

Lainey asked Millie to leave the office first, as she still needed to speak to Sebastian about the issue. Millie then followed Vanessa.

Vanessa stopped at the emergency exit stairs, her gaze meeting Millie’s. She sighed. “Is it because of me?

“What are you talking about?” Millie smiled, radiating beauty.

Vanessa was captivated by Millie’s stunning and charismatic presence. Her beauty was impossible to ignore. Her confident personality left a strong impression, instantly making others like her.

“Lately, there have been rumors circulating in the department about Dr. Quinn’s intention to keep the position vacant for you.” Vanessa leaned against the wall and lowered her head. She appeared remarkably composed with her hands in her pocket.

Vanessa exuded a sense of stability. Perhaps it was her experience as a mother combined with her age. However, she was always calm no matter what.

“No. I simply have no interest in working in this industry. Working in the hospital was my grandma’s idea in the first place.”

Then, she pretended to be relaxed and continued, “I’m Millie, the eldest daughter of the Caldwell family. Is it really necessary for me to work here?”

Vanessa tried to read her thoughts.

Millie confirmed with a serious nod. “It’s true. I’m not short of money. And I don’t feel like working to serve others all my life.”

Vanessa was quiet.

“Dr. Xander, I wish you all the best in your future,” Millie said.

Vanessa still remained silent.

Ultimately, Lainey accepted Millie’s resignation. However, what Millie was unaware of was that if the deputy chief position was never meant for Vanessa, it would have remained vacant. Millie’s departure would only serve to remove a competitor for Vanessa,

While Millie had written a recommendation letter for Vanessa, the ultimate determination of Vanessa’s future promotion lay in her own capability.

Upon arriving home, Millie found Layla sitting on the couch, visibly distressed. Terrence sat next to her, smugly sipping his coffee.

Only Layla seemed displeased by Millie’s resignation. It was clear that everyone had their own ulterior motives.

Terrence saw it as an opportunity for Millie to take over his company. Julia viewed it as a chance to mentor Millie in design. Arthur envisioned fishing and planting with her.

However, the next moment, Millie announced, “I’m planning to travel abroad.”

Their eyes widened in complete disbelief a they asked, “What are you planning to do?”

Millie replied, “Travel abroad to study further.”

“Millie, if you don’t want to take over my company, that’s okay. But now you

just want to run away?” Terrence slammed the table.

Millie was speechless. “Dad, I’m not interested in your company.”

“Are you not interested in design as well?” Julia asked immediately.

Millie hummed in response, indicating her lack of interest.

In silence, Arthur raised his hand, as if questioning Millie about her interest in simply staying home and doing nothing.

Meanwhile, Layla looked conflicted.

“Mills, are you sad because of your divorce from Winston? Don’t act impulsively,” Julia gently held her hand.
