Chapter 17
Chapter: 17
Celeste raised her head and shot a menacing look in Millie’s direction.
“You intentionally stepped on her foot, didn’t you? Apologize to Rhea. Now!”
Millie gave the two an indifferent look before turning in the direction of the door.
Rhea was such a good actress. After her second attempt to hurt Millie was
unsuccessful, she tried to make it look like everything was her fault. However,
Millie was not going to let her do whatever she wanted, especially when her knee
was still in pain right now because of the woman.
“Apologize.”
Millie stopped walking when she heard a cold and authoritative voice from behind
her.
She reluctantly turned around. Marcus was staring at her as if he wanted to
dissect her with his gaze.
“Are you deaf? I told you to apologize to Rhea!”
The large room echoed with his loud, angry voice.
As a result, the nearby servants glanced at him warily.
Millie narrowed her eyes and glared at Marcus, silently berating him for falling for
Rhea’s deception and yelling at her without getting the full story.
Marcus's anger flared up when he saw Millie glare back at him. Just then, he had
seen her intentionally step on Rhea’s foot. However, she was not repentant at all,
and she was rude and unreasonable.
Millie's existence alone would bring dishonour to his family. It would cause a
scandal if the public found out that the most unattractive woman in Preagend was
now a member of the prestigious Thomas family.
This kind of thing would bring shame on even the most illustrious of families.
In addition to all of the issues he was dealing with, Marcus had one more
significant concern that had arisen just the night before. Despite his chronic
insomnia, he slept soundly through the night thanks to the woman's lingering
scent on the sheets. Not only did he not have trouble sleeping last night, but he
also woke up half an hour later than usual that morning.
It was easily the best sleep he’d had in the past five years.
