As she approached, she saw Jaelyn waiting outside a private room.

With a smirk, she challenged Jaelyn, “Didn’t you say you would call the reporters? Where are they?”
“They’re on their way,” Jaelyn replied calmly.
Pleased with the progress, Millie told Jaelyn, “Well done.
As long as Maggie is out of the picture, I’ll keep my promise and not cause any trouble for you in the future.

Though she said this, Millie secretly nned to deal with Jaelyn once Maggie was ousted from Sanford’s life.
Soon after, a group of people with cameras emerged from the elevator.
“The reporters are here,” Jaelyn announced.

Millie’s smile widened, about to revel in her victory, but was abruptly shoved by Jaelyn.
“Ouch!”
Millie staggered forward, barely catching herself against the wall.
The room was dimly lit, and as she blinked to adjust her eyes to the darkness, the door mmed shut
behind her.
Confusion set in.
Why had Jaelyn pushed her inside alone? Shouldn’t she let reporters in to take photos now?
Her pulse quickened.
She instinctively tried to open the door, but as she reached for the handle, she heard footsteps approaching rapidly behind her.
Chilled by the sound, Millie spun around to face a tall man who seized her arm.
“Who are you?” she screamed in terror.
The man remained silent, forcefully pinning her against the wall.
Millie struggled, but the grip only tightened, causing pain to shoot through her arms.
Outside, the reporters bombarded Jaelyn with questions.
