Chapter 21

Chapter: 21

When he remembered something, he summoned his assistant, Derek Yates inside.

“Has anyone from home called me?”

Derek's brows knitted together. Why would they call him?

“you didn’t receive any calls from home, sir,” Derek replied.

Marcus's eyes narrowed.

“all right. You may leave,” he said dismissively.

It seemed like Millie had not apologized yet. How she could endure hunger despite her frail frame, Marcus had no idea.

Wait a minute. A cruel woman like her would never starve herself, not if she could help it. Perhaps she had deceived the servants

at home and had already stuffed her stomach.

Marcus took out his phone and dialled his home’s phone number. One of the servants answered the call.

“Hello?”

“Did you give food to that woman?”

The servant's voice trembled as she replied, “No, we didn’t. Sir, didn’t you say that we couldn't give her any food without your

permission?”

Massaging his temples, Marcus asked, “Does that mean she has been inside the bedroom all this time?”

“That’s right, sir. She only had one meal yesterday. What are we going to do if she passes out again due to hunger?”

So it meant she fainted once because of hunger. Marcus's irises constricted. Millie was really thin; her body was almost devoid of

fat. It was possible that she might really faint again.

“Go and check up on her.” ©

The servant was startled at the sound of Marcus’s stern voice. Her voice shook as she squeaked out, “Yes, sir! We'll check on

her right away.”

With that, the servant headed to the bedroom and knocked on the door.

Millie, who was currently lying on the bed with one hand on her stomach, asked weakly, “What is it?”

“Madam, are you alright?”

Millie’s spirits were restored at the prospect of someone checking on her, and she jumped out of bed and made her way to the

door, only to find that it was still locked.

“Did you bring me food? If so, then open the door and bring it here. | don’t feel good at all. I’m so hungry | feel like there’s a hole

in my stomach already.”
