“T understand,” Millie responded.

As soon as Leon concluded his statement, his brow furrowed. Those words had slipped out

unintentionally. Feeling somewhat embarrassed for lingering here, he discarded his cigarette and

entered his car, driving away.

On the upper floor, Fiona stood on the balcony, her gaze fixed on the area below.

Observing Leon’s high-end car departing, she turned back indoors and dialed Lois

“Miss, there’s an unexpected development. Millie, the wife of Marcus, also resides in my neighborhood.

Not only that, we share the same floor,” Fiona explained.

Lois displayed surprise on the other end of the line. She had heard that Millie had been residing in a

rented apartment following the explosion incident.

“Today, at the old mansion, I nearly got exposed when I called you. Marcus seemed suspicious of me,”

Fiona added

“Don’t overly worry. Just exercise caution in your actions going forward. In Leon’s heart, it’s only you

who matter. He won’t pay heed to others’ words,” Lois reassured.

“Alright, but what about my boyfriend, Giovanni? He keeps calling and insisting on meeting urgently,”

Fiona inquired.

“Block him and sever ties completely,” Lois advised.

Having known Fiona’s past, Giovanni White could potentially jeopardize the situation if they maintained

contact, leading to Leon discovering Fiona’s real identity.

Fiona hesitated, voicing her concem. “But he’s quite persistent. Even if I block him, he’ll likely find

alternate ways to reach me.”

“Fiona, since you accepted my financial support and I’ve invested in enhancing your appearance, don’t

rely on me to guide you through every circumstance,” Lois replied, her patience wearing thin.

“My apologies, my lady. I’m aware of what to do,” Fiona assured.

However, Fiona’s apprehensions soon materialized.

Early the next morning, Millie heard vigorous pounding on a door, creating a raucous disturbance.

Rather than mere knocking, it sounded like forceful hammering. Yet it wasn’t directed at her door.

“Fiona, open up! I know you’re in there. I won’t leave without speaking to you. I refuse to believe you’ll

stay holed up forever.”

An enraged male voice bellowed.

After a brief period, the door pounding ceased.

Millie felt perplexed. The male voice clearly wasn’t Leon’s. Shortly after, Marcus also arose and began

dressing leisurely. Watching his unhurried movements, Millie couldn’t bear it and approached to assist

him in getting dressed.

Blushing, she aimed to hasten the process.

“Shouldn’t we return to our own place?” Marcus glanced towards their nearby bed.
