Chapter 1170

With the misunderstanding clarified, they now felt fortunate to have Millie as their designer.

Marcus extended a handshake, offering a warm smile.

“We are grateful for your trust and satisfaction.”

Miss Fairclough clung to her mother in excitement, an arm linked through her.

“Mom, we must select Millie’s designs. It’s unbelievable that I’ll be wearing Sky Heart for my wedding.”

Mrs. Fairclough gently patted her daughter’s hand, a smile playing on her lips.

“I share the sentiment. Mr. Thomas, we’ve decided on Millie’s design.”

Marcus nodded in affirmation.

“Of course.”

Miss Fairclough threw herself into her fiancé’s embrace, brimming with excitement.

“This is wonderful, darling. Did you hear that? I’ll wear the Sky Heart for our wedding. This jewel is not

only stunning but is also believed to bring good fortune. Wearing it on our wedding day will ensure a

lifetime of happiness.”

Mr. Lawrence tenderly ran his fingers through her hair.

Marcus’s gaze briefly met Millie’s, and it seemed as though she sensed his glance and reciprocated it.

Their eyes connected momentarily, but Millie quickly averted her gaze.

The memory of Marcus’s impending punishment lingered in her mind.

“Wow, you’re the genius behind Sky Heart. I always knew you had this level of talent!” Dottie

exclaimed, full of excitement and admiration.

“Dottie, see you tomorrow. I’m heading out now.”

In a bid to avoid the reporters’ attention, Millie decided to leave the venue ahead of time.

She found her way to a lounge and closed the door behind her.

After a while, the door creaked open. Millie’s heart raced, thinking a reporter had discovered her hiding

spot. She remained silent, not daring to move.

Soon, a voice broke the silence.

“Do you have the key? Unlock the door.”

It was Marcus.

“Yes.”

Having spent considerable time socializing, Marcus appeared a bit weary. Yet, upon seeing Millie’s

jubilant expression, his fatigue seemed to dissipate. Locking the door behind him, he strode toward her.
