Without any second thoughts, Brad labeled her a thief and captured her. Despite her repeated claims that she was not a robber, Brad didn’t listen to her and informed the local sheriff. However, he was also confused as to how can a beautiful and good-looking girl can be a thief. Shortly after, Brad realizes his mistake and learns that Millie Corwin is not just lovely from the outside, but also from the inside. She seems to have a good heart and it attracts Brad towards her even more. He feels that though Millie had not come to rob the town, she has definitely robbed his heart.
