“And who do you suppose you are to judge me?” she snapped. “Do you want me
to expose your transgressions? Not only did you push Rhea into the lake, you've
also been flirting with other men.”
She paused before continuing, “Do you forget the luck you had marrying into the
Thomas family? To me, you're nothing but an immoral woman. You're
undeserving of my son. Your lack of a mother’s guidance has made you vulgar.”
Suddenly, Millie threw back her head and laughed. Despite her high status,
Celeste’s harsh words were amusing.
“Mrs. Thomas, you're overthinking things. Do you honestly believe I was eager to
marry into your family? If not for your son’s feigning disability, if Mia hadn't
declined his proposal, and if Gianna hadn't insisted I marry him, 1 wouldn't have
set foot in this house. As for the Thomas family’s wealth, it’s irrelevant. I use my
own money. Your family’s wealth and status mean nothing to me.”
Having said her piece, Millie turned to leave.
But as she did, she saw Marcus standing nearby, his face stern, his gaze icy and
piercing.
Was he home?
A chill swept over Millie. She was at a loss for words, yet she couldn't retract
what she had already said.
Derek had a tense expression. He had seen Marcus deny a half-year-long
project out of anger.
What would he do upon hearing Millie's harsh words?
Taking two strides, Marcus walked past Millie, a cold gust trailing him.
He sat nonchalantly on the sofa, his gaze trained on Millie as he thoughtfully
stroked his chin.
“So marriage was a burden for you?”
Millie said nothing. Her lips were pursed, and her eyes were wide in surprise.
Celeste scoffed. “Marcus, did you hear that? This woman has no shame. She
reaps the benefits, then pretends innocence.”
