Chapter 113


    “Housekeeping. Is anyone in?”


    Since Millie and Marcus were hiding in the corner, the maid couldn’t see them. So, she pushed open the door and walked in to


    clean.


    Millie used this opportunity to push Marcus away and run out.


    Even after some time, Millie’s heart was still racing. What was that back there with Marcus? He must have gone crazy.


    Meanwhile, Marcus was still in the same position that Millie left him in. He was still in shock over what just happened with Millie.


    Marcus shook himself out of his daze and walked to the wine table to pour himself a ss of red wine.


    As he took a sip of the red wine, one question filled his brain. Who the hell was the real Millie?


    Was it the ugly woman with the horrendous scar, or was it the beautifuldy that just ran out?


    Marcus didn’t have the time to answer the question as he got interrupted. Three loud ps came from behind.


    Leon waltzed in right after, hands in his pockets.


    “| might have disagreed some time ago, but you truly are the most remarkable young master of the Thomas family. It goes


    without saying, that your wife is equally just as extraordinary. | have to give it to her; Millie yed a brilliant game tonight in


    getting the attention of the whole crowd.”


    Marcus pursed his perfect lips. Leon was just looking to pull a reaction out of him, calling his wife a cunning woman. Well,


    anyone could have thought the same thing.


    She did make everyone think she was an ugly woman, only to amaze them all with her beauty. However. Marcus wasn’t about to


    let Leon say anything he wanted and get away with it.


    He sipped on his wine again and said mockingly, “Careful there, Leon. You seem to have an unhealthy interest in Millie. Are you


    not satisfied with Miss Rayne?”


    Leon shook his head and replied casually, “What? No! I think you’ve gotten your facts mixed up. I’m not the one interested in


    Millie. It''s the other way round. And from the look of things, she seems to be more interested in me than she is in you.”


    “Oh, that doesn’t surprise me. She does have a strong interest in creatures like you, however strange it may seem. | saw it from


    the way she greeted you. It is the same way she ys with the Doberman at home. She tends to get attracted to cold things, you


    see.” Marcus spoke so casually, swirling the wine in his ss.


    Leon clenched his fists and tried not to lose control of his emotions. Marcus dared topare him to amon dog. It was


    uneptable.


    Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps filled the air.


    Millie wasing back for her bag that she didn’t think to get in her haste to get away from Marcus.


    She slowed her pace as she got closer and noticed that Leon was also in the room.


    She got even more puzzled when she got close enough to hear what they were talking about. A Doberman?This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    The atmosphere between them was so thick with tension that it could be cut with a knife. Could a discussion about dogs bring


    this sort of tension?
