Chapter: 194
“Is it feasible that Millie wasn't the instigator of Rhea'’s plight? Surely, no one
inflicts harm without provocation.”
Marcus’ gaze, sharp as a honed blade, turned onto Derek.
“Are you insinuating that I wrongfully accused Millie?”
Derek trod lightly and said, “Not exactly. I just find it improbable that Millie is
capable of such a heinous act.”
In Derek's eyes, his boss was not his rational self when faced with matters
concerning his wife. Who would suddenly lash out without reason?
The clock chimed midday, yet Millie had not made her retum to the hotel.
“Mr. Thomas, it's lunch hour. Mrs. Thomas is still away.”
Marcus spotted Millie meandering in the orchard, her intentions seemingly to take
up residence amidst the greenery.
“Inform her to return promptly.”
Derek, obedient as ever, nodded. Yet he returned empty-handed.
“Mrs. Thomas claims to have no appetite. She has no desire for lunch presently.”
Marcus’ eyes narrowed suspiciously. “She claims not to be hungry? Her portions
usually surpass those of everyone else. I suspect she is still brooding over this
morning's incident. The audacity of her!”
“Mrs. Thomas’ continued presence in the orchard poses a grave risk. The fugitive
remains at large, potentially lurking among the trees. Moreover, Mrs. Thomas
appears to have sustained a head injury, her wound swaddled in cloth.”
Derek was visibly unsettled. When he had encountered Millie earlier, she indeed
sported a cloth-bound head wound.
“Understood,” Marcus replied curtly, dismissing Derek with a wave of his hand.
Perched atop a hill, alone and agitated, Marcus loosened his tie. His visage,
once calm, now trembled with suppressed emotions. He cast a glance at the
figure of Millie, who was traversing the orchard. His molars ground against one
another in unvoiced frustration.
