Chapter 21
Chapter: 21
When he remembered something, he summoned his assistant, Derek Yates
inside.
“Has anyone from home called me?”
Derek's brows knitted together. Why would they call him?
“you didn’t receive any calls from home, sir,” Derek replied.
Marcus's eyes narrowed.
“all right. You may leave,” he said dismissively.
It seemed like Millie had not apologized yet. How she could endure hunger
despite her frail frame, Marcus had no idea.
Wait a minute. A cruel woman like her would never starve herself, not if she could
help it. Perhaps she had deceived the servants at home and had already stuffed
her stomach.
Marcus took out his phone and dialled his home’s phone number. One of the
servants answered the call.
“Hello?”
“Did you give food to that woman?”
The servant's voice trembled as she replied, “No, we didn’t. Sir, didn't you say
that we couldn't give her any food without your permission?”
Massaging his temples, Marcus asked, “Does that mean she has been inside the
bedroom all this time?”
“That's right, sir. She only had one meal yesterday. What are we going to do if
she passes out again due to hunger?”
So it meant she fainted once because of hunger. Marcus's irises constricted.
Millie was really thin; her body was almost devoid of fat. It was possible that she
might really faint again.

The servant was startled at the
sound of Marcus's stern voice. Her
voice shook as she squeaked out,
“Yes, sirl We'll check on her right
away.” The content is on

With that, the servant headed to the bedroom and knocked on the door.
Millie, who was currently lying on the bed with one hand on her stomach, asked
weakly, “What is it?”
“Madam, are you alright?”

Millie's spirits were restored at the
prospect of someone checking on
her, and she jumped out of bed and
made her way to the door, only to
find that it was still locked. The

“Did you bring me food? If so, then
open the door and bring it here. I
don't feel good at all. I'm so hungry I
feel like there's a hole in my stomach
already.” The content is on
