Chapter: 18 Millie bit her lower lip and balled up her hands. She would never apologize to Rhea. The woman started this whole thing by intentionally tripping her with her foot first.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Rhea stifled her elation with much effort. She knew that the unattractive woman had no standing in the Thomas family and that Marcus would do nothing to help her.
After a moment of silence, Millie appeared to give in to Marcus’s threatening demeanour. She lowered her head, looking like she was about to apologize.
Marcus's ink-black pupils shook slightly. It tumed out that the woman knew when to back down after all.
However, Millie's next action stunned everyone present into silence. Her head shot up, and she said something shocking. “Apologize? Fuck you. | won't apologize to her!” ©
With that, Millie bolted toward the second floor. She was no longer in the mood to take a stroll in the garden.
Her foul words astonished everyone in the room. The Thomas family was recognized for its high degree of sophistication, and they were not used to hearing such crude language.
A few seconds later, Marcus’s face flushed with rage, and he yelled, “Lock her in the bedroom, and don’t give her any food!” By the time Celeste had recollected herself, she was so incensed that she thought she would actually have a heart attack.
She exclaimed angrily, “What a nasty girl! She’s repulsive to look at, and she has a foul tongue to boot. She’s not suited to be the Thomas family’s mistress at all!”
Rhea was speechless for a few seconds. At first, she thought she heard it wrong, but based on the reactions of the people around her, it seemed that Millie really swore at Marcus.
She limped toward Marcus's side and muttered, “Marcus, that woman has no manners.
Marcus cut her off and said, “Let’s eat.”
Even though it was only breakfast, a great assortment of food was set up on the large table. However, the mood in the dining room was gloomy and oppressive.
The servants were extremely cautious when serving the dishes.
Rhea tried to say something but was silenced by Marcus’s cold eyes.
Celeste was only able to eat a few mouthfuls before she lost her appetite. After breakfast, she made plans to hang out with her friends, hoping it would improve her mood.
Before she left, she said, “If Millie stays in this house for one more day, it will take one day off of my life. Marcus, for my sake, get rid of that ugly woman as soon as possible.”
Marcus did not respond. He just sipped his milk stoically. Meanwhile, after hearing Celeste’s words, Rhea felt an overwhelming sense of excitement.
When Marcus suddenly put his glass down, he did so with so much force that droplets of milk splashed upon his otherwise spotless blue tie. His brows furrowed.
