Chapter 799

Rhea examined the List of lavish presents.

However, she merely cast a casual glance at them. To the average person, they might be alluring, but

they couldn’t compare to the opulence of the Thomas family, the wealthiest in Preagend.

Why did she love Marcus of all the young men in the family?

His excellence and charm made him a standout figure within the family. “Ultimately, it’s your decision.”

Without much interest, Rhea pushed the gift list back toward Darin.

Darin’s frustration was evident. He held genuine affection for Rhea, though it was clear she didn’t

reciprocate those feelings

“We’re about to be married. Shouldn’t you be happy?”

How could she possibly feel joyful? On the contrary, she felt despondent .

Upon marriage, she would officially become part of the Barker family and her concealed affection for

Marcus would be extinguished.

No, she couldn’t acquiesce to this marriage. She must wed Marcus.

“I need to use the restroom.”

Standing up abruptly, Rhea exited the Lounge.

A few steps later, Kaya intercepted her.

“Miss Evans.”

Rhea turned back and regarded the woman indifferently, as she was unfamiliar with her.

“Miss Evans, I’m Kaya, a student from Preagend University.”

“What do you want?” Rhea inquired with a touch of disdain. Given that Millie was associated with

Preagend University, Rhea held a negative view of it.

“Do you know that Millie is attending classes at Preagend University?” Upon hearing that, Rhea’s

expression twitched. Hadn’t Millie already graduated?

“What’s your point?”

“The president has invited Mr. Thomas to teach classes at Preagend University for two weeks. Millie is

one of the students. After the class, two individuals will gain access to the jewelry department of the

Thomas Group. I speculate Millie will be one of them.”

Rhea was resolute in not permitting Millie’s entry into the Thomas Group. A woman of humble origin

like her didn’t deserve a position within such a company.

After conveying this, Kaya departed. Having researched Rhea’s infatuation with Marcus since

childhood, Kaya was confident she would thwart any woman from becoming close to him. Thus, Rhea

would be determined to prevent Millie from joining the Thomas Group.
