Chapter 1133

With both sides presenting evidence of design drafts and processes, the lawsuit had proven

challenging. Reviewing the lawsuit’s progress, Marcus made the choice to alter their approach.

“Change strategies?” Millie asked.

“Yes. We’re now focusing on the angle that your original drafts were mysteriously lost. For instance, we

might review surveillance footage or audio recordings to subtly lead the opposing party into admitting

the work belongs to you,” Marcus explained.

Using the missing drafts as a starting point? Millie’s memory immediately flashed back to the hospital

conversation when Nancy confessed her involvement.

Millie suddenly came up with an idea.

“Leave it to me. I have a plan to find the evidence,” Millie remarked confidently.

Thereafter, Marcus stared at her with concern.

“How do you intend to proceed? I won’t permit you to return to your former boss.”

That man had an ulterior motive. Millie’s safety would be compromised if she were to cross paths with

him again. If any confrontation was to take place, it should be Marcus facing off against him.

“I won’t approach him. I’ll start by seeking out someone else,”

Millie responded.

She was cautious about approaching Ryan as well. The memory of the day he led her into the dim

room still sent shivers down her spine.

“Someone else? Are you deliberately leaving me in suspense?” Marcus couldn’t help but smile in

exasperation.

Smiling back, Millie exuded confidence.

“Just wait for me to uncover the evidence. Don’t underestimate me; I’m quite resourceful.”

Seeing her regain her confidence brought a sense of relief to Marcus.

Her emotional state had a direct impact on his mood; when she was down, he felt restless too.

Meanwhile, the others held champagne glasses and congregated around the blazing bonfire, their

spirits soaring. However, many of the girls couldn’t help but cast glances in their direction.

Millie understood that their attention wasn’t directed at her. Their gaze was fixed on Marcus. Despite

the good looks and figures of those affluent young men present, they couldn’t resist Marcus’ allure,

drawn by his physique that rivaled that of a model and his commanding position within the formidable

Thomas Group.

Marcus paid them no heed and suggested, “Feeling tired yet? Let’s head back.”

After a night of rejuvenating rest, Millie embarked on her work journey the following day. With Marcus

away on a business expedition, it was Trenton who stepped in to usher him away in the early morning

hours.

As Millie graced the design department with her presence, a medley of glances converged upon her-

some laced with disdain, others brimming with surprise, and a few tinged with sympathy.

Amidst this varied reception, Dottie stood out as a beacon of welcome, her hand waving in a friendly

gesture, inviting Millie to draw near.

In a sea of lukewarm receptions, it was Dottie who remained genuinely delighted to see her.
