Chapter: 381
“Do we know each other well enough for me to trust you implicitly?” she
countered, skepticism dancing in her eyes.
Despite her words, curiosity began to win her over. She lifted the glass; the
aroma was pleasant, and she found herself on the brink of tasting it.
But a sudden intrusion stopped her. The drink was snatched from her grasp.
“Are you drinking again?” Marcus’ voice was a stern reprimand.
Startled, Mylo’s heart skipped a beat, anxiety flooding him. Why had Marcus
materialized so abruptly, catching him in the act of offering Millie an alcoholic
beverage?
Marcus’ face was stormy as he regarded Millie’s innocent expression. “Don’t you
understand that you cannot drink?”
Millie’s mind whirled. But it wasn’t wine, she silently protested.
Marcus’ gaze swung to Mylo, his eyes narrowing.
“Well, it was Millie who wanted to sample it. I warned her it contains alcohol and
she shouldn't have it, but she insisted it was fine,” he said, his voice filled with
false concern.
Millie found herself bereft of words, with anger and surprise battling within her.
Her fists clenched, anger bubbling up. What a malicious man! It was clear now
that Mylo had a terrible character.
Yet the thought of the one and a half million smothered her rage, and she voiced
her opinions, pointing accusingly at Mylo.
“He insisted that it wasn’t alcohol beverage. Do you find my account credible?”
Marcus noticed Millie tightening her fists and Mylo's nervous demeanor. He just
removed his coat and took a seat.
“This drink is rather special. Though it lacks the taste of alcohol, it possesses the
power to intoxicate,” Marcus gently remarked while fixing his gaze on Millie, his
serious demeanor softening.
Mylo stealthily observed their expressions, pleased with himself for pinning the
blame on Millie.
