Unbeknownst to them, Nancy had overheard their exchange from a nearby
corner.
Her heart pounded in her chest. Millie had kept silent about the trap—for now.
But what if Marcus were to question her? Millie would definitely tell him that
Nancy was behind it all!
What then would Marcus do to her?
Would she get a demotion? Would she be fired from the company? Or something
even more severe? She didn’t want any of that to happen!
Though Nancy still held sway within Thomas Group, the prospect of Marcus’
wrath was a terror she could not bear.
The more she dwelled on it, the more panic-stricken she became, prompting her
to slip away quietly.
She needed to come up with a plan quickly. She didn’t intend to relinquish her
position as the chief design of the Thomas Group.
Back in her room, her disquiet did not go unnoticed.
When he saw how anxious Nancy was upon her return to the room, Humphrey
clenched his fists. This time, he wasn't going to let her suffer alone.
“Nancy, if something weighs on your mind, confide in me. Whatever it is, I'll help
you resolve it.”
Humphrey's voice trembled as he exclaimed, “You didn’t! Tell me you didn’t
deceive Millie and lead her into that snow pit?”
At this point, he was too shocked to utter another word.
How had the woman he’d adored become capable of such cold, deliberate
cruelty?
“I wanted her gone, Humphrey. Gone!” Nancy spat, her eyes ablaze with hatred.
“She humiliated me. She deserved it.”

Why didn’t she feel a single ounce of remorse for killing Millie?
Her lack of guilt, her wish to kill over something so trivial-it didn’t make sense.
Humphrey felt a gnawing suspicion that her hatred was rooted in something more
complex.
