Chapter: 10 “You're still a bit too naive. If you want to seduce men, you should wear shorter skirts. Do you understand?” As she spoke, Millie pointed at Rhea’s legs near her crotch.
“also, you should wear some black stockings and a top that gives you a little extra bust cleavage. Men are creatures who only think with their lower bodies. If you dress like that, every man in the world will go crazy for you. Am | right, honey?”
Millie managed to look remarkably innocent by blinking her large eyes.
Her words stunned Marcus into silence.
Was this woman trying to start something? Did she think he was one of those men who thought with their lower bodies? Rhea’s face flushed. She pointed a trembling finger at Millie and stomped her foot angrily.
“Don’t make things up! Marcus, she’s gone too far.”
Millie then snatched the magazine out of Rhea’s hand and started flipping through it.
“Honey, are you planning to buy a bag for Miss Evans? What a coincidence! | like this brand as well. This pink crocodile leather bag looks lovely. Honey, you're rich, right? Why don’t you get me a bag too?”
She then threw the magazine onto the table and started walking to the door. However, she tumed around again, smiled cheekily at the bewildered pair.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Oh, | almost forgot! Let me clarify. The bag that | want costs three hundred thousand dollars. Miss Evans wants the purple one, which costs one hundred fifty thousand dollars. Don’t get confused when you're buying. It wouldn't look good if | showed up to an event with Miss Evans and brought a bag of equal quality to hers.
I'm Mrs. Thomas, after all, not her. It would also damage your reputation.” © Without waiting for the two to recover from the shock, Millie walked out of the room.
Despite her lack of interest in Marcus, she knew that as long as she was a member of the Thomas family, she would need to assert herself as his wife and demonstrate her dominance.
If she did not, she would be a prime target for harassment and abuse.
Inside the study, Rhea felt her chest tighten with rage. Just now, Millie tried to establish dominance over her.
What Rhea found even more unsettling was the fact that Marcus was staring intently in the direction Millie had gone, his brows wrinkled in deep thought. There was no expression on his face, so it was impossible to know what was going through his mind.
Rhea clenched her hands into fists, but she softened her tone as she said, “Marcus, that woman’s upbringing is appalling. She just got married to you, but she already wants you to spend money on her. She’s a gold digger!”
Upon hearing the words “gold digger”, Marcus could not help but wonder if Rhea was talking about herself.
