Chapter 525

“Are you truly planning to procure poison?” he inquired.

“Absolutely. Since I've been painted as the villain, why not enact it?” Millie affirmed.

As the words left her lips, she clenched them in defiance, her eyes aflame with anger.

In a fleeting moment, Marcus’ expression shifted, a blend of perplexity and realization coloring his gaze. His bewilderment

stemmed from the sight of Millie still clutching the container.

“Why are you still holding it? Set it down,” he commanded.

Millie met his gaze with a fiery resolve, her grasp unyielding.

She replied, “Given your assumption that | broke it, I’m going to mend it and return it to you.”

Her intent extended beyond mere repair; she would seek retribution against Bria’s cunning ways.

Bria’s duplicity had been unmasked. Millie recognized the true extent of her cunning.

“You can't fix it. It had been broken. It can’t be what it was,” Marcus declared.

A flicker of pain crossed Marcus’ countenance. The reverence he held for his great-grandfather was unshakeable. The vase, his

sole inheritance from his great-grandfather, was shattered now.

Even if mending it was plausible, he would undertake the restoration himself.

Observing an unfamiliar emotion briefly dart through Marcus’ eyes, Millie pressed her lips together.

“I'm confident it can be repaired,” Millie asserted, her resolve unyielding.

Marcus didn’t intervene further, consulting the clock before departing for the company.

Rhea scrutinized Millie’s profile once more.

Bria had relayed the morning's incident to Rhea, arousing her satisfaction.

She was committed to making Millie’s existence wretched this time. Otherwise, enduring the agony of breast augmentation

would be in vain.

Rhea lifted her gaze.

She inquired, “During Millie’s college years, was there an altercation with a girl that resulted in her disfigurement?”

Analia nodded affirmatively.
