Mia aimed to underscore her status as the Brown family’s jewel, the grandeur of
her birthday bash a testament to that.
Surprisingly, Marcus was generous in giving compliments.
“The daughter of the Brown family is undeniably beautiful and elegant. You exude
charm and warmth. Are there any more captivating tales involving Millie?”
Mia beamed with delight, her spirits lifted by Marcus’ praise.
Conversely, Millie felt like a knife had pierced her, an inexplicable sorrow
overcoming her.

of the Brown lineage. Hence, the
agreement should be upheld.
Furthermore, she has been a
member of your household for a
considerable span. Have you perhaps
forgotten the monetary
