Chapter 131
Marcus, his expression condescending, made no effort to repeat himself as he
looked down at her.
Two seconds later, Millie motioned to a nearby servant.
“Come here and fetch him a glass of milk.”
“Did I ask for her involvement?” Marcus restrained his temper, his patience
wearing thin. They had just left the bar, yet Millie seemed determined to provoke
him once more.
It seemed tonight's lesson wasn’t enough for her.
Millie instinctively lowered her head, stealing a glance at her legs as the
memories of soreness and numbness flooded back.
She vigorously shook her head, attempting to shake off the remnants of
humiliation.
Her once chipper mood had been abruptly shattered. Reluctantly, Millie set down
her fork and reminded herself to regain composure.
She stood up and made her way to the kitchen, retrieving an empty glass. Millie
reached for a large bottle of milk resting on the table, pouring its contents into the
glass before extending it to him.
Marcus cast a glance her way, accepting the glass at a deliberate pace.
However, the moment he carried it into his study, a triumphant smirk crept across
his face.
In the earliest rays of dawn, nestled within the confines of the Browns’
homestead, Mia was absorbed in the morming paper when an unexpected
headline provoked a cry from her.
“No way! Millie’s face wasn’t marred at all. That was an artificial scar. She tricked
us!”
Gianna, her coffee companion, nearly suffered a beverage accident upon hearing
the shocking revelation.
With a swift, incensed movement, Gianna seized the paper from Mia’s hands and
scanned the article, rage tremors resonating through her fingers.
“This vile girl has been feigning ugliness all this time!”
The previous night's gala, organized by Claudia, had been swarming with media,
resulting in Millie’s true visage plastered across the news, accompanied by a
meticulous narration of the evening's events.
Each line in the newspaper felt like a personal affront to Gianna’s eyes, leading
her to viciously rip the article to shreds.
