Chapter 678

“We made a mistake. Please, Sir, let us go. We’ll leave immediately. I’m begging you!”

Tuming to Millie, Bruce asked, “Did they harm you in any way?”

The men’s eyes darted to Millie, hoping she might intervene to spare their lives.

They were filled with regret and fear, realizing too late that the unassuming woman from an ordinary

community was actually the wife of the president of the Thomas Group.

The Thomas family could have them killed without a second thought.

Millie, knowing when to be unyielding, responded, “He attempted to flirt with me.”

She pointed at the man wearing a garish shirt.

Bruce’s foot connected with the man in the colorful shirt.

“How dare you make advances on a member of the Thomas family!”

His face contorted into a ferocious expression, and Millie thought he resembled a ruthless demon.

“We were mistaken, Mr. Thomas. Please forgive us,” the man not held by Bruce pleaded, dropping to

his knees. Bruce did not release the other man until he had kowtowed three times.

“Get lost!” Bruce barked.

The men scampered away, their terror palpable.

“Millie, why don’t I act as your bodyguard from now on? I’ll accompany you wherever you go. You’re so

stunning, it’s easy for you to attract unwanted attention,” Bruce suggested, his tone light.

“Don’t be ridiculous!” Millie snapped.

She hadn’t seen Bruce in quite some time, yet he remained as glib as ever.

“Are you headed to the hospital as well?”

“No, I just wanted to spend time with you,” Bruce replied, shaking his head.

Millie exhaled deeply. “I have no time for games. If you want to play, find someone else.”

Play? The word triggered a thought in Millie’s mind. Normally, Bruce wasn’t one to be idle.

Members of the Thomas family were known for their courage and ambition.

“Millie, are you paying attention?” Bruce waved a hand in front of her face.
