Chapter 65


    Left alone in the dark, Marcus held out his hand as if to grab her, then brought it back and let it fall to his side.


    Early in the moming, Bria stopped under the staircase before looking around. She then turned to Rhea, who was dressed quite


    extravagantly.


    “Miss Evans, I’ve ruined Millie’s dress like you told me to. Seriously, | don’t know where that hideous woman got the idea that


    she''d fit in at the party.”


    Bria’s words did nothing to improve Rhea’s mood at all. The ruination of the dress was only a short-term relief from the


    embarrassment Millie had caused her earlier in the clothing store.


    Bria was right, though. Millie did not have the qualifications to attend the birthday party.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    The thought of the woman linking arms with Marcus with a smirk on her face and her head held high as they entered the venue


    made Rhea seethe in anger.


    Amomentter, Rhea’s irritated eyesnded on Celeste, who was sipping her tea.


    She began formting a strategy in her head and approached the older woman.


    She was sure that there was no way Celeste would let Millie attend the birthday party.


    Rhea beamed as she sat down next to the older woman.


    “Mrs. Thomas, will Millie also attend Madam udia’s birthday party?”


    “she’s going? Where did you get that idea?” The mention of Millie’s name instantly brought a frown to Celeste’s face.


    “| saw her shopping for a dress when | went to buy clothes yesterday. | thought you agreed to let her go because you wanted to


    introduce her to everyone at the party,”


    Rhea said.


    When evening came, Celeste sat in the living room, her countenance grim.


    She heard the sound of the door opening, indicating that Marcus had returned.


    Celeste studied her son, who stood at an impressive 1.88 meters. Marcus’s longtime dominance over the Thomas family’s riches


    andpany was a testament to his intelligence and ability. He was physically and intellectually outstanding.


    Despite all of that, he ended up marrying a very unremarkable woman.


    Marcus sensed Celeste’s stare as he entered the living room, so he walked closer to her.


    “Do you have something to say to me?”


    “That wicked girl has bought a dress to wear to udia’s birthday party, so she obviously ns on attending. Are you really


    nning to let her go?” Celeste asked.


    Marcus sat down next to her, his expression growing gloomy.
