Novel1Chapter 1223:
Milford replied, “Fair enough.”
Within minutes, the owner secured the lowest price available from the factory. Milford arranged a meeting with
the owner the next day and left, feeling satisfied.
To maintain a respectable appearance, he wore a suit without a coat, enduring the cold as he waited at the bus
stop.
Suddenly, a luxury car pulled up beside him. The window rolled down slightly, and hesitating, he leaned closer.
“Milford?” Presley called uncertainly from within the car.
“You've mistakenfor someone else,” Milford responded, straightening up and rubbing his hands for warmth.
Presley, who had seen Milford in disheveled attire before, hardly recognized him in his suit. After scrutinizing him
for a while, she stepped out of the car and declared, “Doesn't matter if you're Milford or not, I'm here for you.
Where are you headed? Letdrive you.”
Milford, busy with his phone, replied without looking up, “Nah, thank you. | can take the bus.”
“I'm acquainted with your sister and Bryan,” Presley said, stepping closer and offering him a business card. Even
without the card, Milford had pieced together Presley's identity. She was from the Deleon Group and knew his
sister, Zola.
“I don’t know,” Milford said, again trying to deflect. Seeing that Presley didn’t give up, he pocketed his phone
and added, “What? Been in jail with her or something?”
Presley was left speechless.

Milford’s tone was laden with sarcasm, reminding Presley strongly of Eileen.
“If you truly know my sister, then you'd know that I've cut ties with her. And if you know Bryan, you'd know |
have nothing to do with him. Why are you approaching me?” Milford ignored the business card Presley offered
and moved away from her to wait for the bus.
Presley was a bit surprised, not anticipating such a strained relationship between Milford and Zola. She put away
the business card and asked tentatively, “Do you know that Bryan is looking for you?”
Milford ignored her completely.
“Zola and Bryan are sworn enemies. He was responsible for her imprisonment. Don’t you feel compelled to seek
justice for your sister?” Presley continued.
“Why do you concern yourself with the affairs of others?” Milford responded sharply. “Visit a beauty salon if you
find yourself with spare time. Stay out of my business.”
Milford rolled his eyes at Presley and quickly boarded the arriving bus.

(Sad? ove your car immediately, or

All the passengers on the bus glared at Presley. Although Presley couldn't hear their words, their expressions and
harsh gestures made it clear they were quite angry with her.
There were no seats available on the
packed bus. Milford stood in the
center, gripping the handrail, as he
started looking up the @blewatd

company didn't carry a significant
amount of debt, but clearly, they had
no intention of paying it back. It
seemed like the tableware business
wasn't doing well for them, likely due
to issues with their sales approach.

eventually found out where he lived.
The alley Milford lived in was dark
and narrow, with a single door at the
end. The place was isolated and far

through the door, and the sound of a
girl's voice drifted out from inside.
