Chapter: 348
Millie responded calmly, “I wasn’t overly curious, just merely asking.” With a hint
of stubbornness in her tone, Millie reiterated her stance.
In spite of his nondescript attire, the man from the previous night radiated an air
of potential peril that was hard to dismiss.
Naturally, she was curious.
Observing Marcus’ guarded demeanor, Millie came to the realization that he
wouldn't divulge any information to her.
Pivoting, Millie descended the staircase, eager to distance herself from the
emotionally volatile Marcus.
Upon reaching the living room, an unexpected call from her grandmother's doctor
filled the room.
The news he delivered that Mr. Thomas had procured the elusive painkiller for
her ailing grandmother struck her like lightning.
What? Mr. Thomas had not only secured the medicine but had dispatched it to
the hospital with impressive swiftness.
Despite the bewilderment, a surge of relief flowed through Millie.
Simultaneously, in the upstairs bedroom.
Derek urgently contacted Marcus to report an unforeseen emergency. Nancy, the
esteemed chief jewelry designer of the company, had unexpectedly fallen ill and
collapsed. As a result, she wouldn't be able to accompany Marcus the following
day for the meeting with Mrs. Barton.
Mrs. Barton's company held the prestigious position of being the largest diamond
rough supplier globally. The Thomas Group sought to forge a crucial partnership
by signing an order with her company, enabling them to procure the finest
diamond rough for future endeavors.
A few days prior, Mrs. Barton had personally reached out to Marcus with hopeful
aspirations. Beyond securing a comprehensive agreement this time, she
expressed her desire for the Thomas Group to craft a bespoke necklace,
showcasing their exceptional design expertise.
Mrs. Barton's reputation for discernment was legendary; even a necklace with a
royal pedigree might not appease her.
Her confidence rested solely in her discerning taste, placing greater importance
on the aesthetics and design of the necklace rather than its monetary value.
Designing this particular necklace presented a significant challenge. Among the
talented designers in the company, the chief designer, Nancy, naturally stood out
as the most capable and suited for the task.

After breakfast, Marcus escorted Millie to his car to drive her to work. Her mood
was buoyant and unusually bright.
“What prompts this merriment?” he asked.
“My grandmother's suffering will cease. Leon procured a potent remedy that will
erase her torment.”
