Chapter 101

As soon as the words left his mouth, Marcus regretted it. This woman didn’t trust him at all, and didn’t want to tell him in the first

place. He shouldn’t have said that.

Sure enough, he heard Millie snort before she said, “I don’t care if you believe me.

Just know that | refuse to suffer that without paying back. She’s going to pay for what she did.”

As she spoke, Millie glanced over at Rhea whose face was set in a deep frown not far away.

Rhea hadn't stopped staring at Marcus and Millie.

“How on earth did she get out? We locked the door properly, didn’t we?”

“We did. Maybe someone opened the door for her.”

Rhea gritted her teeth and walked towards the object of her jealousy, wishing she could just kill her and get her out of the way.

Her jealousy only increased when she got closer and saw just how close Millie and Marcus were.

“Marcus, what are you talking about?” ©

Marcus replied coldly, “What did you do? How can you play games at grandma’s birthday party? Does it mean nothing to you?”

Rhea glared angrily at Millie and feigned innocence before Marcus.

“What are you talking about? I’ve been here all along.”

Seeing that Marcus’ expression wasn’t changing but was becoming harder, his lips set in a thin line, Rhea realized that he must

have believed whatever Millie told him. She had to tum the situation around quickly.

“Millie, what have you done again, you vicious woman? You must have spouted lies about me, right?” Then, she looked at

Marcus and pleaded, “Marcus, you can’t let her deceive you. She’s just a liar.” ©

Millie glanced at the cut on her hand, her anger fuelling. Then, she held the cake up to Marcus and asked, “Will you eat the

cake?”

“| don’t like desserts,” he answered curtly, his face contorting in disgust at the sweet cake.

Before the words were completely out of his mouth, Millie threw the piece of cake in Rhea’s face.

“You bitch! Are you crazy? Why did you do that?” Rhea was hysterical.

“Why? Why?” Millie chuckled dryly and continued, “Well, let’s see... I’m rewarding you for locking me up in the lounge, and for all

the other things you’ve been throwing at me this evening. I’m not a defenceless lady. Clearly, you don’t get tired of those tricks,

but I’ve had more than enough.”

“Marcus, help me! Millie is so mean! You saw it with your own eyes, right? She threw the cake in my face on purpose.”

Rhea hurried over to Marcus and reached for his arm. However, when some frosting got on his cuff, he abruptly took a step back

in disgust.
