Chapter 706

“What do you find so funny?” Rhea snapped.

“You’re telling me to leave him? I love Marcus deeply. Why would I ever leave? You want to take my

place? Don’t even think about it,” Millie replied, her words carefully chosen to provoke Rhea.

She wanted to get back at her. Rhea’s closeness to Marcus in recent days had been a source of

distress, and now she had an opportunity to vent her frustration.

Rhea’s eyes widened in shock as she stammered, “What did you say?”

Millie’s harsh words were unexpected.

“Are you having trouble hearing?” Millie snapped. “I’ll say it again. I love him deeply, and I’ll never leave

him.”

“You’re behaving ridiculously,” Rhea retorted, her voice dripping with disdain. “I’ve already told you that

he’s been with me all this time. Marcus lied to you. He’s not on a business trip. He’s just tired of you.

You should leave Preagend as soon as possible.”

Despite the pain in her heart from Marcus’ betrayal, Millie refused to be cowed by Rhea’s words.

“You must be the one who’s deaf. I’ve said that I love him. Whether or not he loves me doesn’t matter,

as long as I can be his wife. But those who pester him constantly will never become his wife.”

With those final words, Millie hurried away, leaving Rhea fuming, her heart pounding in rage.

She silently cursed Millie for her shamelessness.

Once home, Millie answered a phone call. Fiona had always seen her as a problem and wanted to get

rid of her. To protect herself, Millie had to find a way to expose Fiona’s true identity.

“Miss Brown, I’ve gathered all the information you requested. It’s been sent to you,” the voice on the

other end of the line said.

Upon receiving the delivery, Millie opened it to find the hotel check-in records of Fiona and Giovanni,

with the most recent entry from just a day ago.

No matter how much Leon cared for Fiona, if he were to find out that she had slept with another man,

he’d be livid.

Fiona had been growing increasingly bold and arrogant lately. Whenever she encountered Millie in their

community, she would carry herself with a haughty air and flash a mocking smile, treating Millie as if

she were a complete failure.

Early in the morning, Fiona completed her makeup and prepared to leave, knowing that Leon was

waiting for her downstairs.

She had noticed lately that he seemed distracted, spending less and less time with her.

Fearing that she might lose him, Fiona took extra care with her appearance that day, hoping to

recapture his heart.

She was straying further from the course that Lois had set for her.

Lois’ plan had been for Leon to grow to despise Fiona and leave her, but Fiona had a different idea in

mind; she wanted him to become obsessed with her.

Fiona knew this was a unique opportunity, and she wasn’t about to waste it. She dreamed of marrying

Leon and living a life filled with luxury and fame.
