Chapter: 485

Upon seeing Millie’s solitary return, Gianna’s expression underwent a swift shift.

“Why are you on your own? Didn't Marcus come with you?”

“He’s caught up with work.” Millie fabricated an excuse and took a seat.

In response, Gianna grunted, “You're so useless. | doubt he’s really that busy. More likely, you just don’t matter to him.”

Millie chose not to respond, unfazed by Gianna’s words.

Upon noticing her unresponsiveness, Denby’s brows furrowed.

“How’s your rapport with Marcus lately?”

“I'm sorry, but | don’t think | need to respond to that question,” said Millie.

Denby had merely been attempting to probe into her relationship with Marcus, looking for a foothold.

Having heard Millie’s reply, Denby forcefully struck the table and vented, “Millie, how dare you! | ask a simple question, and you

give me this sullen face. What's your deal?”

“She’s such a rebellious child. We're only trying to show concern.”

Annoyed, Millie snapped, “Concern? By spreading rumors about me? Why summon me here? Just spit it out.”

Suddenly, the sound of a car outside reached their ears.

Gianna glanced through the window, her intuition sharpening. Her stern visage melted into a smug expression.

“What audacity you have. | told you to fetch Marcus, yet you return alone.

Thankfully, | had a plan B. | can’t rely on you at all.”

Frowning, Millie pondered the cryptic “plan B.” What did Gianna mean by that?

Pretty soon, she understood what it meant.

Marcus walked in at that very moment.

Stunned, Millie realized the noise she’d heard outside was from his car.

“Hey, Marcus. Come take a seat.”

‘As Marcus appeared, Gianna and Denby immediately rose to receive him.
