Rhea’s face fell, hurt by Marcus’ desire to dismiss her as soon as she arrived.
“Are you still mad about last night? I'm truly sorry. I had no idea you were on the
phone with Millie. If she misunderstood anything, I'll go and apologize to her right
now.”
Despite her words, she had actually done it deliberately.
“You don't need to do that,” Marcus replied.
He knew that if Rhea went to find Millie, it would reveal that his wound was not
healing. This information would cause unnecessary worry.
Marcus’ face turned grim, and he began to focus on the documents on his desk,
paying no attention to Rhea. Left standing alone, embarrassment washed over
Rhea, and she walked out of the room silently.
Upon leaving, she made her way toward Celeste. Marcus’ indifference had stung
her, and she resolved to take it out on Millie.
It didn’t take long for Rhea to locate Celeste.
“Mrs. Thomas, I went to see Marcus earlier today,” Rhea said.
Celeste’s face immediately showed concern as she asked, “How is he? Has he
gotten any better?”
“No, his condition is actually getting worse.” Rhea shook her head as she spoke.
Celeste’s brow furrowed in worry. As her only son, Marcus’ well-being was her
top priority, and she couldn't bear to see him suffer.
“Mrs. Thomas, you mentioned that you were going to drive Millie away, didn’t
you?”
Rhea questioned, recalling the day Celeste had gone to the temple to inquire
about Millie's fortune. She had even witnessed Celeste trying to confront Millie.
In recent days, however, there had been no developments.
Celeste’s face turned stern. She had indeed confronted Millie, only to be met with
indifference.
