“Break my legs? By what right? Do you think I enjoy running away? I'm also
scared of running into trouble. You're the one to blame. You can only trust Rhea’s
words.
Do you know that I have my grandma to look after? If 'm not around, who's going
to care for her in her old age?”
After her outburst, Millie realized her words still echoed in the room. She was
taken aback. She had let her anger out, likely waking everyone in the mansion.
Millie licked her dry lips, feeling uneasy. She wriggled free from Marcus and
rushed to take a shower.
Upon waking the following morning, Millie checked her phone and noticed
several messages from Grace.
“Moming, Millie. Are you awake yet? You're covering my shift at the Skyline
Restaurant today. It starts at 9 a.m. Don't be late; I've informed the manager.”
“We're already airborne. Beautiful weather up here.”
“Llove you, dear.”
Millie responded to the messages. As she descended the stairs, she caught sight
of
Celeste’s intense gaze.
A hint of anxiety washed over Millie, but she composed herself and proceeded
down the stairs. She noted that despite Celeste’s apparent dissatisfaction, she
didn’t make any attempts to make things difficult.
The situation was perplexing. Considering Celeste’s temperament, Millie
expected a backlash for not adhering to the punishment last night.
Gemma was tending to the plants by the door when Millie spotted her.
“Good morning, Mrs. Thomas.”
“Gemma, can you fill me in on what happened last night?”
“What happened later? Oh, after you left, Rhea’s lie got exposed, leaving her
quite mortified.”
“Hold on, what lie?”

witnessed Rhea assaulting you with
the stone, which left Rhea red-faced
and Mrs. Thomas with no choice but
to believe him. Derek is, after all, a
