Chapter 514

“Millie, how did you evade arrest for allegedly drugging the Brown family during our wedding day?” Marcus inquired, his voice

veiled by muffled tones.

Confusion enveloped Millie as she pondered his words, struggling to decipher his intent.

“What are you implying?” Her voice was a quest for clarity.

Marcus held her firmly, impervious to her attempts at release.

“stay calm. Don’t misunderstand,” Marcus intoned, his eyes closing in weariness.

Millie’s heart palpitated, her internal turmoil ignited by his words. Her struggle persisted, twice more.

“Release me,” she demanded, her frustration evident.

Marcus’ gaze met hers, yet his explanation was left unspoken, shackled by her irate countenance.

Reluctantly, he released his grip.

Millie interpreted his silence as a belief in her guilt, the notion that she drugged the Brown family and merited incarceration.

Without a word, she turned, descending the stairs with a sense of exasperation.

Marcus, tie in hand, observed her departure. The rumors of her alleged involvement in the drugging incident churned within his

mind.

If her actions were criminal, why hadn’t the Brown family pursued legal action?

The alternative scenario was that the accusations were baseless.

Unbeknownst to them, Bria and Gemma passed by the ajar door. Marcus holding Millie against the wall was caught by them.

Bria’s rage poured forth in curses, contrasted by Gemma’s amusement.

In the shadows, Rhea’s manipulation continued, leveraging Bria to destabilize

Millie’s presence within the villa.

Demanding Marcus’ attention increasingly, Millie unintentionally thwarted Bria’s schemes.

Seated on a swing, Millie’s thoughts swirled in a daze.

“Mrs. Thomas, what brings you out?” Gemma’s presence surprised her.

Millie discovered that Gemma came over.
