Chapter 371

Chapter: 371

Since Nancy was already part of the Thomas Group, she didn’t want to join. It’s known that two people in a trade seldom agree.

This held true in her case.

Her initial goal had been to join the Thomas Group, the country’s largest jewelry company. However, she abandoned this idea

once the Thomas Group hired Nancy.

Recollections of being falsely accused and tormented passed through Millie’s mind.

She knew all too well that Nancy was not as angelic as she seemed.

Marcus’ gaze deepened considerably, reminiscent of a deep, dark pool.

“Mrs. Barton will be arriving shortly. | must take my leave.”

Standing up, Marcus made his exit. He failed to comprehend why Millie had rejected such a fantastic opportunity. Was she afraid

of getting tired?

Perhaps she was simply lazy.

Millie intended to inquire whether he had changed her clothes the previous night.

Since he had left, she decided to ask him next time.

After finishing her meal and observing that the snow had stopped, Millie stepped out of the hotel, ready to enjoy the snowscape.

Asudden commotion at the hotel’s entrance caught her attention. A luxurious car was slowly pulling up to the hotel’s entrance,

prompting Millie to step aside.

Before the car’s occupants could exit, a line of suit-clad men neatly lined up beside the vehicle in anticipation.

As the door opened, a woman emerged, clad in a red cloak, her hair elegantly done up in a bun. With the assistance of a

bodyguard, she gracefully stepped out of the car. It was Mrs. Barton.

Marcus exited the hotel at the same time, shaking hands with Mrs. Barton before engaging in conversation as they headed into

the hotel. Millie decided to explore the hotel's premise.

She happened to overhear a conversation between two men nearby.

“Is Nancy not here yet?”

“She can’t make it. She’s in the hospital.”

“The doctor gave her a clean bill of health. What could possibly be wrong? Why fall ill at such a crucial time? It’s clear how much

Mr. Thomas is banking on this partnership. Is she intentionally stirring up drama?”

“Who could tell? Let's head inside.”

Taken aback by this, Millie found herself perplexed. Why did the designer’s presence matter so much? Couldn't the executives

handle the collaboration discussions themselves? “Hold on a second. What did you mean by that? Why is Nancy's presence

essential?” Millie ran after them and halted their progress.

The two men realized they were speaking to the wife of Mr. Thomas and promptly offered Millie a respectful bow.
