Chapter 792

“Hmph, a misunderstanding? You orchestrated the peril that nearly claimed her life.

You pitted her against Fiona, watching from the shadows. Miss Rayne, your visage belies a heart rife

with malice.”

Perplexity had always clouded Marcus’ view of that fateful bombing, The intricacies puzzled him –

kidnappers orchestrating Lois’ abduction only to trade her for Millie.

Yet the message eluded his grasp, leading to the explosive climax that followed.

Drawing closer with the gun, Marcus’ actions bathed Lois in a cold sweat. Fear clutched her; Marcus’

capacity for anything was notorious.

But her demise couldn’t occur now; she had to remain composed.

Evidently privy to additional details, Marcus’ silence spoke volumes.

“T understand you’ve delved into my past. Then surely you’ve unearthed my motives. Millie is whom

Leon seeks.”

The absence of Marcus’ response spoke volumes – an unspoken accord. Thus, she pressed on.

“This saga was purpose-driven—to guide Leon past his history and into a harmonious future with me.

Having embraced me, he’ll journey forward in my embrace. Isn’t that a desirable outcome? You love

Millie, and she will forever be yours.”

Yet Marcus remained resolute.

“Who’s privy to their past? A history that left an indelible mark on Leon, propelling his unwavering

pursuit of Millie. Fortuitously, Millie has purged the past from her memory, eluding even Leon’s

recognition.”

Lois glanced sidelong at Marcus, her gaze assessing.

“Else, you’d risk forfeiting Millie; isn’t that the case? Childhood love is so pure, after all.”

“silence!” Marcus’ roar reverberated.

“A dignified figure as Marcus, trembling at the prospect of losing his wife.”

This man, renowned for treating women as expendable, now exhibited concern for one.

Love is a realm of enigma, driving all to the brink.

“Release me. I’ll conquer Leon’s affections, facilitating your perpetual union with Millie.”

A gunshot echoed, and the ground beneath Lois was marred by a fresh pit.

Her pallor deepened, and dread etched across her face.
