SWNOVELS Chapter 15
Chapter: 15
The hideous-looking woman probably had no idea that Celeste favored Rhea and
that she had some kind of influence in the Thomas family.
When Millie walked into the living room, Rhea beamed and waved at her. “Miss
Brown, you're awake. Come and have a seat.”
Miss Brown?
Millie, who was on her way to the garden, stopped in her tracks, intrigued at the
way the woman addressed her. She stared at Rhea, whose smile did not quite
reach her eyes.
“sure. I'd love to chat with you, Miss Evans,” Millie replied.
Millie made her way toward the centre of the living room, but there were no
available seats near Rhea. She had to walk in front of the other woman to get to
the other sofa.
Rhea made a go-ahead gesture with her hand and said, “Go on, Miss Brown.
Walk in front of me. I'll make way for you.”
Without suspecting anything, Millie replied, “Thank you.”
She was walking past Rhea when something appeared before her feet, sending
her stumbling and causing her knee to collide with the edge of the coffee table.
Immediately, a searing pain coursed through her entire body.
“Miss Brown, why weren't you watching where you were going? How did you
even trip on such an even floor? You're not hurt, are you?” Rhea stood up and
offered Millie her hand, feigning concern.
Millie, who quickly saw through her act, took a deep breath and sat on the sofa,
ignoring the pain in her knee and Rhea’s extended hand.
Celeste shot Millie a disapproving look.
She then spat, “Sit down, Rhea. Just ignore her. She tripped because she wasn't
looking where she was going. Let her suffer from the pain.” @
Rhea calmly returned to her seat, feeling triumphant. The pain in her knee
caused Millie's face to tum pale, and Rhea took great pleasure in seeing it. She
was just getting started, though.
“Miss Brown, have you received the limited-edition bag that you had Marcus buy
for you last night? Oh, I'm so jealous of you! There are only three of those high-
end bags in the world, but just one word from you and you'll get it right away,”
Rhea remarked.
Celeste’s expression soured as soon as she heard that, and she glared fiercely
at Millie.

“You had Marcus buy you a bag?
Millie, just because you're Marcus's
wife now doesn't mean you can do
anything you want. I'll never
acknowledge you as my
daughter-in-law,” Celeste snarled. The

Millie tightened her lips and inwardly
cursed Rhea for intentionally tripping
her and bringing up the bag in
Celeste's presence. The content is on

And she was no pushover.

“Have you received your bag, Miss
Evans? You were the one who
pestered Marcus last night to buy
you a bag first. I just casually asked
him to buy me one while he was at it.
You wanted one of only four of those
limited-edition bags. Despite my lack
of beauty, I'm still Marcus's wife and
a member of the Thomas family. The
family’s reputation would suffer
greatly if anyone found that you and I
both have bags with similar qualities,”
Millie stated matter-of-factly. The

As soon as Millie had finished speaking, Celeste’s disapproving eyes shifted to
Rhea.
