Chapter: 396
Millie spun around, her voice firm. “Agreed. Whoever loses will degrade
themselves to a dog's level.”
“You two...” Mrs. Barton's voice intruded like a sudden breeze.
Millie and Nancy both turned to the source of the voice, discovering Marcus and
Mrs. Barton approaching.
Marcus’ face was as cold and impassive as a winter's night.
Nancy's heart fluttered with unease, then settled. Witnesses were present, and
Millie could not escape her challenge.
“Mrs. Barton, Mr. Thomas, I trust you overheard our exchange. Millie has
accepted the bet. I hope you'll bear witness,” Nancy stated, her voice laced with
victory.
Mrs. Barton departed, and Marcus dismissed Nancy as well. Now, only Marcus
and Millie stood in the dim hallway.
Marcus’ suit jacket hung open, revealing the crisp white dress shirt beneath. To
Millie's reluctant admiration, he was the embodiment of elegance in that white
shirt.
His straight black pants clung to his long legs, ending in a pair of gleaming black
shoes.
Standing a mere three meters from Millie, his aura was as imposing as a great
mountain.
“Millie, must you engage in these senseless disputes? Will you really bark like a
dog?” Marcus’ voice cut through her resolve.
Millie lifted her head and gazed directly into Marcus’ eyes. He appeared
convinced that she was destined to fail, and it was truly pitiful. Even if parents
knew their child was lacking in some aspects, they would still offer
encouragement.
“In the end, you're simply afraid of me embarrassing you,” Millie asserted.
Millie expressed her discontent by pursing her lips. Though feeling distrusted was
undoubtedly unpleasant, she made sure not to show it. Maintaining a nonchalant
attitude, she acted as if she didn’t care.
Marcus’ anger flared like a newly lit fire. “You may disregard my dignity, but you
cannot ignore your own,” he snapped, his words like a slap.
Millie's heart stung with his words. Was he truly concerned or merely mocking
her perceived inadequacy?

Turning, Marcus started to walk away, only to be halted by Millie’s sharp cry.
“Wait a moment!”
Marcus paused, his deep eyes fixed on her, waiting.
