Upon her departure, she intended to leave the hairpin behind, using her design
talents to earn money and eventually repaying him the one and a half million
dollars.
Every feast must eventually conclude. Joining the Thomas family had proven to
be a mistake.
On a certain day, after her trip to the supermarket, Bria, following Rhea’s
directive, approached Celeste with feigned casualness as she wiped the table.
“Madam, what ailment does Mrs. Thomas’ grandmother suffer from? She visits
the hospital daily. Keeping her grandmother there must be costly for Mrs.
Thomas. How could she afford it?"
Celeste’s eyes narrowed. It was true that Millie had been part of the Thomas
family for quite a while, yet Celeste hadn't encountered her sick grandmother.
This prompted her to visit the hospital and see for herself.
“Summon Ethan to take me to the hospital.”
“Of course.”
Bria didn’t expect Celeste to actually visit the hospital and meet Millie's
grandmother. This could be quite beneficial. As Celeste left, Bria promptly
informed Rhea.
Within the hospital room, Millie’s grandmother, fast asleep, found herself gently
nudged. Upon awakening, she saw a lady standing beside her bed.
“Who are you?”
Teresa was already aware of Celeste’s identity. “This is Mrs. Thomas, Millie's
mother-in-law.”
Upon observing the mix of astonishment and delight on the older woman's face,
Celeste’s brows furrowed.
The older woman excitedly addressed Celeste, “Please have a seat. Teresa,
fetch a glass of water for her.”
“No need, thank you. I'm simply here to pay a visit.”
Celeste’s tone remained indifferent. Was this frail woman in the bed truly Millie's
grandmother? Celeste had no interest in associating with someone so poor and
ailing.
It seemed her luck had taken a downturn.

This portrayal contradicted Millie's
previous descriptions. Millie had
painted Mrs. Thomas as a kind and
affectionate figure. Once again, Millie
obscured the truth to spare her
grandmother's worries. The content

“Respect me? What can she do? A
foolish girl. Her actions only serve to
vex me. It's only through some divine
intervention that she managed to
marry Marcus.” The content is on

Celeste retorted with disdain in a sharp tone.
Teresa awkwardly rubbed her hands and said, “I should go check on the doctor.
Why hasn't he come here today?”
The conversation was growing harsh, making her feel like an outsider who
shouldn't be listening.
