NovelEnglishChapter 70 Now that Mila was contemplating divorce, the question of Adrian's custody loomed heavily over her.
Mila could sense what her grandaunt Jade was thinking. She had often imagined that if their strained relationship ever improved, she would take Adrian to visit Jade.

Once you've completed your resignation procedures, cdirectly to my company, Splendid." "Your skills and talent were honed under my guidance, and your designs are exceptional. What you lack is recognition. International exposure will bring the fyou need, and I'll arrange that for you." Splendid. Mila knew it well.
