Chapter: 399
But she seemed oblivious to her charm, radiating a natural elegance.
At the gala, many failed to recognize Millie, and she had no desire to engage with
the crowd. Her attendance was more of a casual visit.
She meandered through the venue, pausing mainly at lounges or food stations.
Though she made no effort to socialize, her striking appearance drew many
admiring glances.
Finding a comfortable seat, Millie pulled at her dress a little before taking a drink
and sipping it with grace. Her expressive eyes were fixed on the large screen,
showcasing the event's purpose.
The gala’s primary focus that night was to gather support for schools in distant,
underserved regions.
Nancy's fingers were like a vice around the delicate glass, as if she could reduce
it to fragments. She suspected Millie's elegant attire was a deliberate scheme to
outshine her at the event.
With an air of contempt, Nancy shadowed Millie with her presence, moving as if
to confront her directly.
“Why linger here when your designs call for attention?” Nancy taunted. “You
seem eager to bark like a dog. Should we begin now?”
Millie rose, her poise unbroken.
“Your haste to send me away betrays your fear that I'll eclipse you. But know this
— T'll remain here until the last note of the evening, claiming what's mine,” Millie
said.
Nancy's teeth gnashed at the retort. “A schemer, you are indeed.”
Millie's intelligence unnerved Nancy, for she seemed to read Nancy's thoughts
like an open book.
“Amidst this intricate dance of motives, 1 am but a novice compared to your
stratagems. Your unwavering proximity to my husband does not escape my
watchful eye. Dare I inquire if your intentions extend beyond mere
companionship, and instead, you harbor designs to supplant me? Sadly, my
husband exhibits no inclination towards you,” Millie stated.
Ever since Millie arrived at the banquet, she couldn't help but notice Nancy's
frequent appearances near Marcus, leaving an unmistakable impression that
they were a couple. Nancy's intentions were evident to everyone.
Nancy found herself rendered speechless by Millie’s revelation of her yearning to
hold the utmost significance in Marcus’ world.
With a brief interlude of hushed anticipation, Nancy's voice cut through the air,
tinged with a cold tone. “Though you may excel at sophistry, do not grow
complacent. True design demands authentic talent, and in the end, you will face
a miserable defeat.”
