Chapter 705

Rhea’s face fell, hurt by Marcus’ desire to dismiss her as soon as she arrived.

“Are you still mad about last night? I’m truly sorry. I had no idea you were on the phone with Millie. If

she misunderstood anything, I’ll go and apologize to her right now.”

Despite her words, she had actually done it deliberately.

“You don’t need to do that,” Marcus replied.

He knew that if Rhea went to find Millie, it would reveal that his wound was not healing. This

information would cause unnecessary worry.

Marcus’ face turned grim, and he began to focus on the documents on his desk, paying no attention to

Rhea. Left standing alone, embarrassment washed over Rhea, and she walked out of the room silently.

Upon leaving, she made her way toward Celeste. Marcus’ indifference had stung her, and she resolved

to take it out on Millie.

It didn’t take long for Rhea to locate Celeste.

“Mrs. Thomas, I went to see Marcus earlier today,” Rhea said.

Celeste’s face immediately showed concern as she asked, “How is he? Has he gotten any better?”

“No, his condition is actually getting worse.” Rhea shook her head as she spoke.

Celeste’s brow furrowed in worry. As her only son, Marcus’ well-being was her top priority, and she

couldn’t bear to see him suffer.

“Mrs. Thomas, you mentioned that you were going to drive Millie away, didn’t you?”

Rhea questioned, recalling the day Celeste had gone to the temple to inquire about Millie’s fortune.

She had even witnessed Celeste trying to confront Millie.

In recent days, however, there had been no developments.

Celeste’s face turned stern. She had indeed confronted Millie, only to be met with indifference.

“Humph, driving her away isn’t as simple as it seems. She’s found a wealthy man in Marcus, and she

won’t leave him that easily,” Celeste said with a disdainful snort.

“Mrs. Thomas, rest assured, I’ll speak to Millie on your behalf.”

Later, on Millie’s way home, Rhea crossed paths with Millie and stopped her.

Millie’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Rhea, who was standing there, arms folded.

“Millie, Mrs. Thomas sent me to speak with you. She’s been quite clear about your dire fate, and you

must leave Marcus at once. Why are you still with him? Have you no shame?” Rhea spat out.

Millie’s response was a derisive sneer. This reaction only served to further irritate Rhea, who was

already envious of Millie’s position.
