Chapter: 357
An unreadable expression crossed Marcus’ face as he replied, “This was what
our families had agreed upon.”
In other words, the money had to be given to the intended recipient since doing
otherwise would be impolite.
Millie sighed. She must have done something terrible in her past life to deserve
being used and oppressed by Gianna in this one.
Instead of becoming even more worked up, Millie covered herself with the
blanket and decided to just sleep.
As Millie drifted off to sleep, Marcus remained standing under the warm glow of
the light, lost in thought.
The company’s chief jewellery designer, Nancy, had already confirmed that she
was not available to meet Mrs. Barton, which meant that no one would be able to
accommodate the latter's request.
In the jewellery industry, Nancy was a household name. Her custom jewellery
had been the company’s best-seller ever since she started working there two
years ago.
She had even designed an extraordinary jewellery set for the Duke of Windsor.
As of right now, there were very few jewellery designers in the country that could
hold a candle to Nancy in terms of talent and skills.
The only one who could was the mysterious jewellery designer called X, whose
appearance remained unknown to this day.
Once, X designed a necklace called “Sky Heart,” and it won the top prize in the
biggest jewellery competition in the world.
Everyone who had seen the Sky Heart necklace agreed that its craftsmanship
was nothing short of spectacular. The jewellery’s uniqueness and stunning
design were testaments to the designer’s extraordinary talent. It was universally
agreed that the necklace was the most stunning piece of jewellery ever
displayed.
The necklace used to be highly sought-after by a number of affluent
businesspeople, who would often offer absurdly high rates to acquire it. Even to
this day, a lot of people wanted to buy it.
However, the designer decided to give up ownership of the jewellery and instead
gift it to @ museum for public display, on the proviso that ten percent of the
museum’s annual admission earnings be donated to charity organizations.
Millie did not go to work the next day. After finishing her morning chores, she
accompanied her grandmother in the hospital. She was driven back home in the
afternoon.
Both Celeste and Marcus had already gone out by the time she returned.
Earlier that morning, Millie awoke to the sound of shuffling in the room. When she
opened her eyes, she saw Marcus packing his luggage. It seemed like he was
going on a business trip again.

Millie was snapped out of her reverie when Gemma walked over to her and
winked at her.
“Madam, have you noticed something different?”
