Chapter 679

Millie shook her thoughts away, replying, “Thank you for helping me earlier. I must go now.”

She started to walk away, and Bruce trailed behind, hands in pockets.

“Let’s go together.”

“Together?” Millie questioned, puzzled at his sudden interest.

“I’m intrigued by how Marcus can stand living in such a cramped rental with you every day. I want to

see what enchantment you’ve woven over him,” Bruce said, a playful smile tugging at his lips.

“Besides, I heard Leon’s been visiting that community daily for a girl. That’s intriguing. I must

investigate.”

Upon reaching the community, they encountered Fiona, who was on her way out.

Fiona’s appearance had grown increasingly ostentatious. The cost of her attire was anything but

modest. Leon must have been investing heavily in her.

Upon spotting Millie, Fiona removed her sky-blue sunglasses and looked past her.

Where were the two individuals who were supposed to harass Millie? She had paid them specifically to

do so.

Millie caught Fiona’s searching gaze and responded with a knowing sneer.

“I’m confident that those two won’t have the courage to follow me again.”

Bruce, noticing the well-dressed woman before him, asked Millie, perplexed, “Are you speaking to her?

Do you know her?”

Fiona grasped Millie’s insinuation but kept her composure. While unafraid that Millie would discover her

scheme, she would never confess to it.

“What are you talking about? I don’t get it,” she said, feigning ignorance.

Bruce’s eyes narrowed, his fingers lightly touching his chiseled chin. “Millie, did she send those two to

bother you?”

Fiona’s guilt showed in her eyes as she prepared to leave, but Millie’s voice stopped her.

“Wait a moment. If you try something like this again, you’ll find me teaching you a lesson in kind.”

Barely concealing her anger, Fiona made a hasty exit.

Bruce shook his head, remarking, “Who is that woman? Her dressing is so garish.

Why is she trying to antagonize you?”

“She’s the one you’ve come to see,” Millie replied, her tone flat.
