Chapter 756

A few moments later, Millie became disheartened by his coldness and retreated.

There was nothing she could do to calm his anger at that point.

“Take a break first. I’ll be in the venue. I’ll leave you alone.”

Millie spun around and headed to the venue, thoughtfully shutting the door behind her for him.

Upon arriving at the venue, Millie was greeted by a brightly lit hall. A cluster of students were bustling

around, some arranging water, some setting up name cards, and others tweaking the equipment.

Asmiling girl who had been working on the equipment approached her.

“Millie, you’ve arrived. I’m aware you assist Louis. Could you help us inspect the decorations?”

Millie smiled, standing on the stage and surveying the hall. “Nicely done; everything looks great.”

“I’m relieved to hear that. I’m quite anxious, as it’s not just students attending this speech but some

notable individuals as well. I really don’t want anything to go wrong.”

Millie gave a nod, saying, “I’ll take a look at the projector.”

Millie meticulously inspected the projector’s contents, ensuring everything was in order. The moment

she looked up, she spotted Derek passing by the doorway, and she hurried after him.

“Derek, hold on a moment.”

Derek paused, greeting her, “Hello, Mrs. Thomas.”

Reflecting on Marcus, Millie felt slightly down. “Derek, did something disagreeable occur before Marcus

arrived? He seemed distressed.”

Upon hearing this, Derek appeared to find it incredible that Millie was unaware of why Marcus was

dissatisfied.

“Mrs. Thomas, aren’t you aware of what’s made Mr. Thomas unhappy?”

Millie shook her head, replying, “I really don’t know. He was completely fine when I left him.”

Derek let out a sigh. Millie was slow to catch the reason behind Marcus’ anger.

“Mr. Thomas helped you get rid of Fiona. You dashed away immediately after getting out and even

came to this school to aid a foreigner, so Mr. Thomas is feeling jealous.”

Hearing that, Millie grasped the situation. Was that the reason for Marcus’ anger?

“Mrs. Thomas, I have to get back to my work now.”

Millie gave an affirmative nod and tapped gently on the railing, a subtle undercurrent of melancholy

coursing through her. She pondered the gradual transformation of Marcus’ perspective, observing his

shift towards a narrower outlook.
