Chapter 4
Enraged, Celeste ended the call. However, she had already fallen for Gianna and Mia’s deceit.
Marcus, who had overheard their conversation, glanced in the direction of the bedroom on the second floor, his gaze calculating. It seemed that he had married a scheming woman.
“Go and tell that woman to come here,” Marcus instructed.
Millie was ready to dig into the food the servant had brought her when a second one burst into the room. “Sir Marcus wants to see you.”
On the first floor, Marcus watched with narrowed eyes as Millie calmly approached him.
The woman had already ditched her bridal gown for a casual dress. She stopped before Marcus and wrapped her left hand around her right wrist in front of her, giving off a sweet and innocent air around her.
The mask she wore obscured half of her features, but it also gave her an air of mystery, and the parts of her face that were not concealed looked smooth and soft to the touch.
“Honey, | heard you wanted to see me,” Millie said in a sweet voice, catching everyone off guard. Marcus's squinted eyes widened.
However, Millie's soothing voice only distracted him for a moment.
Regaining from the daze, he snorted, “Honey? Who told you to call me that?”
“What should | call you if | can’t call you that, then? Mr. Thomas? Marcus? Pick one, and I'll gladly call you that.” Millie then proceeded to pretend ignorance by cocking her head to one side.
What a cunning woman. Marcus's face darkened.
He could tell that Millie was playing him, but he did not have any evidence to back up his suspicions.

Rhea’s jaw tightened as she hissed, “Drop the act. We already know that you drugged your family so that you could marry Marcus. Honestly, I’ve never met a more wicked woman than you.”
Drugged?
Millie’s eyebrows furrowed in a thoughtful manner. She did not remember drugging any member of the Brown family.
Her silence prompted Rhea to continue. “You're going to keep playing innocent, huh? Your stepmother had just woken up, and she told us about your evil deeds.
You're such a nasty woman. You don’t deserve Marcus at all.” Realization crept into Millie. It was all Gianna’s doing. It was really true that the guilty dog barked the loudest.
She tumed to the woman who had been lecturing her. Rhea’s face was roughly oval in shape, and she had attractive features. She was a beautiful woman, but it was ruined by the vicious scorn in her eyes.
