Chapter 526

She explained, “Indeed. The girl’s name was Brenna. She possessed a striking appearance. The truth of the matter is that

Brenna and a group of girls attempted to unveil Millie’s mask, subjecting her to humiliation. The altercation escalated, culminating

in Millie shoving Brenna against a door frame, inadvertently causing a head injury and leaving a scar.”

“She was attractive? Provide her with a substantial sum of money and prompt her to establish a connection with Mylo as swiftly

as possible,” Rhea directed.

Analia was puzzled.

“Why?” she inquired.

“[ have a strategy in mind. | intend for Marcus’ regard for Millie to wither away entirely in the coming days,” Rhea disclosed.

In the afternoon, Millie settled in the living room, her gaze fixated on the shards of the broken vase, an air of disquiet hanging

over her.

Bruce entered.

Surveying the scene, he inquired, “Millie, what’s going on?”

Millie raised her head to meet his gaze. Bruce radiated vitality, clad in a fresh, light-hued suit.

Recollections of Claudia’s stories in the old house resurfaced. Millie recalled her grandma mentioning his family travels.

Evidently, they had returned from their excursion.

“Is this vase broken? These fragments look familiar. It’s the vase that our great-grandfather gifted to Marcus, isn’t it? How did it

break?” Bruce inquired, detecting the anomaly.

Sensing that something was amiss, Bruce seized the fragment and inquired with a surprised expression.

His surprise confirmed the vase’s value, compounding Millie’s distress.

“Did you break it?” Bruce prodded, sensing an issue.

“Hmm... No.” Millie hastily denied, suppressing the inkling that she might have been responsible for the breakage.

After a brief pause, Bruce pressed, “Did you or did you not break it?”

“Right now, it doesn’t matter. | just want to assess if it’s reparable.”

Despite Millie’s intention to clarify her plan, her actions inadvertently led Bruce to believe that she was responsible for shattering

the vase.

In response, Bruce quipped, “True to form, you don’t make things, but you excel at breaking them. This vase holds immense

significance for Marcus. He isn’t usually attached to antiques, yet this vase, bestowed by our great-grandfather, constitutes his

sole collectible. It's unbelievable that you managed to break it. Marcus held our great-grandfather in high regard, you know?”

Millie found herself exasperated by Bruce’s words.

In response, she rolled her eyes at him.
