Chapter 246
After a few thoughtful seconds, Aurelia held Mrs. Parker’s hand and said, “Mrs. Parker, I will keep an
eye on her for you, but I don’t think we should let anyone in the office know. It’s better if you handle it at
home. After all, you are Millie’s mother, and she will listen to you.”
Mrs. Parker thought about it and realized that Aurelia was right.
Millie’s current job had a decent salary and benefits. As long as she accumulated enough experience,
she would earn more in the future. If things escalated, it wouldn’t benefit her.
Wiping away her tears, Mrs. Parker said, “Aurelia, you are so considerate. I came to you today…”
“Mrs. Parker, don’t worry. I won’t say anything. You go back and talk to Millie. Find out how much
money she borrowed, and then make a decision. If she has any unused money, ask her to return it
quickly to avoid bigger losses,” Aurelia advised.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll go back now. Thank you so much.”
“Mrs. Parker, take care of yourself.”
“Sure.”

Aurelia watched as she left, feeling uneasy.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that this matter was not over. Now, she could only hope that Millie
would reflect on her choices and repay the money she borrowed promptly.
However, Aurelia couldn’t help but wonder.
Recently, Millie had been flaunting the things Jackson bought for her. Why would she need to borrow
so much money? Could the diamond ring be something she bought herself?
Back at the Parker family’s apartment, as Mrs. Parker climbed the stairs to the fourth floor, she heard
the sound of the iron gate opening downstairs.
Glancing down, she saw Millie rushing in.
“Millie!”
Hearing her mother’s voice, Millie hesitated for a moment and then quickened her pace to the fourth
floor.
She forcefully pulled Mrs. Parker into the house.
“Why are you yelling? Mom, why did you go to Aurelia? Do you think I haven’t been embarrassed
enough?”
“What’s embarrassing? Aren’t you good friends with Aurelia? You didn’t answer the phone, and you
didn’t come back yesterday. What exactly have you been doing?”

“I… I was with my boyfriend. I told you before that I’m in a relationship now. My boyfriend is a wealthy
bachelor,” Millie explained.
Hearing this, Mrs. Parker pursed her lips and tapped her on the head.
“Have you lost your mind? We never said that you couldn’t be in a relationship. We’re just asking you
why you’re living outside. Don’t you have any self–respect as a woman?”
“Mom! What era do you think we’re living in now?” Millie dismissed it.
Mrs. Parker was so angry that she could barely stand. She fell on the couch.
Mr. Parker heard the commotion and came outside. When he saw Millie, he took a deep breath and

“You shameless girl. How could you say such things? Even if that’s your boyfriend or some rich guy,
you can’t live with him unless your relationship is official! You’re a girl, so if anything happens, you’ll be
the one suffering in the end!”
“Dad!” Millie cried, covering her swollen cheek.
“Don’t call me that! You’re not my daughter!” He turned around with a dark expression.
Mrs. Parker got up and helped him sit down.
“Don’t get upset. Let’s just clarify this matter. You wouldn’t want to impact your health because of
this.”
Mr. Parker sat down quietly.
Although Mrs. Parker cared for her daughter, having an enormous online loan was simply something
that she couldn’t let slide.
“Millie, tell me that the call about the online loan is a lie. It’s some kind of scam, right? We keep
receiving pamphlets telling us to be aware of scams. I get it. That’s what this is, right?”
Mrs. Parker still held hope within her.
