Chapter 265

Millie let her arms fall to her sides. The man’s words hit a nerve in her.

Not only did he accuse her of being deceitful, but he also compared her to Marcus.

Suddenly, she felt like Marcus was better than Leon. She had never met someone so scathing.

“So what if | praise Grandma every now and then and do as she says? Don’t you have eyes? Can't you see that she’s already

old? Unlike you, | don’t want her to be sad; unlike you, | don’t want her to become so worked up that she can’t breathe because

of anger; and unlike you, | have a sense of filial piety.” As she talked, Millie angled her body forward.

She scoffed at the man before turning around to retreat to the house.

However, she suddenly realized that Leon was still on his knees outside, which meant he still respected his grandmother.

She then recalled what she discovered at Skyline. If she was not mistaken, Leon was the founder of the Dayen Group. He was a

member of the Thomas family, but he started a rival company to undermine the family’s interests.

If his grandmother found out about this, she would be furious.

Millie redirected her attention back to Leon and advanced one step closer to him.

“What is it?”

Leon asked, correctly guessing that she wanted to say something to him. Millie took a deep breath before looking him straight in

the eye.

“Does Grandma know that you're operating another company to work against the Thomas Group’s interests?”

“You're actually smart, aren’t you? You just look stupid. So, what are you going to do with that information? Blackmail me?”

“That’s right. | promise not to tell her about it if you agree to operate on my grandmother. If you disagree, I'll tell her right now

what you've been doing all this time,” Millie declared firmly. She needed to act tough to intimidate Leon.

“That again? Whatever. I’m pretty sure you won't say a word about it to Grandma even if | don’t agree to operate on your

grandmother.”

Leon smirked.

Millie’s jaw tightened in shock. How did he know that she would not do that? Could he read minds?

Indeed, she would not tell on him to Grandma, as she did not want to upset her.

Marcus was now in charge of the Thomas Group. He must have sensed that someone was wrong at the time, and must have

been prepared for what would happen.

“Am | wrong? Go ahead and tell Grandma, then. I'll wait here,” Leon challenged.

Feeling frustrated, Millie declared, “Don’t believe me? Fine, I'll go tell Grandma this very minute.”

As she quickly retreated towards the room, it appeared as if she was ready to reveal the truth to Claudia. However, the moment

she stepped inside the room, her spirit faltered.
