Chapter 1321

While Millie remained unaware of her true identity, Shera secretly planted a bomb within her.

On the night of her unsuccessful attempt to reconcile with Marcus, Shera swiftly suggested returning to

the Thomas Group.

If she had raised this proposal after repeatedly involving herself with Marcus, he would have seen

through her intentions and likely rejected the idea.

As Millie listened to the explanation, she cast her eyes downward, her gaze distant.

“Are you upset? Tell me, what can I do to make amends? I’ll do it without hesitation.”

In this moment, Marcus lost his appetite, clutching Millie’s hand.

Millie let out a sigh.

“Let’s put this matter to rest for now. Continue with your meal.

It’s almost time for you to depart for Peach Town. Certain events are simply preordained and beyond

our control.”

Shera’s close bond with Celeste was potent enough that, even if Marcus were to disapprove of Shera’s

return to the company, Celeste would likely find alternative means to ensure her entry.

Nevertheless, Millie had learned a valuable lesson from her past experiences: when confronted with

difficulties and troubles, if there was no escape, the only recourse was to face them head-on.

Nevertheless, she still yearned to comprehend the motive behind Marcus’s decision to admit Shera to

the Thomas Group. His explanation was, to some extent, comprehensible to her.

Someone who had been in a past car accident with you approached you for a job. Refusing their

request would be heartless.

“Are you no longer angry?” Marcus sought reassurance.

Millie shrugged and replied, “I understand.”

Marcus gradually felt a weight lift from his shoulders and realized that, in the future, he should inform

Millie first if similar situations arose, regardless of her location.

Millie stayed by his side as they finished their lunch. Afterward, Marcus prepared to leave. Upon

returning to the design department and taking her seat, Dottie promptly addressed her.

“Just a moment ago, the front desk downstairs called our department, mentioning that an envelope had

arrived for you. Did you collect it?”

Millie was perplexed. She had no knowledge of any such envelope.

“I’ll retrieve it right away,” she replied, turning to head downstairs.

At the entrance of the building, Marcus and his group were still making their preparations to depart.

Marcus was engaged in a phone call while his well-dressed companions stood nearby.

Among them, Millie noticed Shera standing beside the head of the charity department. Shera, too,

spotted Millie and flashed a smug smile.

Furrowing her brow, Millie wondered if Shera was accompanying them as well.

While the charity department was undoubtedly vital for such projects, she hadn’t expected Shera to be

among the chosen personnel.
