Chapter 18


    Chapter: 18


    Millie bit her lower lip and balled up her hands. She would never apologize to Rhea.


    The woman started this whole thing by intentionally tripping her with her foot first.


    Rhea stifled her tion with much effort. She knew that the unattractive woman had no standing in the Thomas family and that


    Marcus would do nothing to help her.


    After a moment of silence, Millie appeared to give in to Marcus’s threatening demeanour. She lowered her head, looking like she


    was about to apologize.


    Marcus''s ink-ck pupils shook slightly. It tumed out that the woman knew when to back down after all.


    However, Millie''s next action stunned everyone present into silence. Her head shot up, and she said something shocking.


    “Apologize? Fuck you. | won''t apologize to her!” ?


    With that, Millie bolted toward the second floor. She was no longer in the mood to take a stroll in the garden.


    Her foul words astonished everyone in the room. The Thomas family was recognized for its high degree of sophistication, and


    they were not used to hearing such crudenguage.


    A few secondster, Marcus’s face flushed with rage, and he yelled, “Lock her in the bedroom, and don’t give her any food!”


    By the time Celeste had recollected herself, she was so incensed that she thought she would actually have a heart attack.


    She eximed angrily, “What a nasty girl! She’s repulsive to look at, and she has a foul tongue to boot. She’s not suited to be the


    Thomas family’s mistress at all!”


    Rhea was speechless for a few seconds. At first, she thought she heard it wrong, but based on the reactions of the people


    around her, it seemed that Millie really swore at Marcus.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    She limped toward Marcus''s side and muttered, “Marcus, that woman has no manners.


    Marcus cut her off and said, “Let’s eat.”


    Even though it was only breakfast, a great assortment of food was set up on therge table. However, the mood in the dining


    room was gloomy and oppressive.


    The servants were extremely cautious when serving the dishes.


    Rhea tried to say something but was silenced by Marcus’s cold eyes.


    Celeste was only able to eat a few mouthfuls before she lost her appetite. After breakfast, she made ns to hang out with her


    friends, hoping it would improve her mood.


    Before she left, she said, “If Millie stays in this house for one more day, it will take one day off of my life. Marcus, for my sake, get


    rid of that ugly woman as soon as possible.”


    Marcus did not respond. He just sipped his milk stoically. Meanwhile, after hearing Celeste’s words, Rhea felt an overwhelming


    sense of excitement.


    When Marcus suddenly put his ss down, he did so with so much force that droplets of milk sshed upon his otherwise


    spotless blue tie. His brows furrowed.
