Chapter 129


    He was not one to ept defeat.


    Amidst the lively chatter and singing around them, Millie waited for the numbness in her legs to subside. Marcus lit a cigarette,


    his actions deliberate and unhurried.


    After half an hour, the soreness and numbness in Millie’s legs seemed to fade into the distance.


    “| think we should leave now,” Marcus dered, tossing the lighter onto the table and rising to his feet.

    She had just started feeling better and he wanted to leave? She had nned to grab some food.


    “Alright, it''s time for us to go,” Mylo chimed in, nodding in agreement.


    As Marcus took a couple of steps towards the exit, he turned back to nce at Millie.


    Gradually, Millie loosened her grip on the nket and weakly rose from her seat.


    She was cautious not to stand up too quickly, fearing an awkward stumble.


    Thankfully, she felt stable upon standing, and then followed Marcus’ lead.


    Late into the night, the two smoothly drove back to the vi.


    As Millie stepped through the door, she overheard two servants engaged in a hushed conversation about her.


    “How can Millie have the audacity to attend the party? Doesn''t she feel any shame with her unattractive appearance?”


    “Look at her, she’s so ugly and yetpletely oblivious to it. She’s not even embarrassed. | am even a hundred times more

    “Why? Simply because she’s ugly and utterly vicious.”


    Millie rubbed her temples, thinking that these two individuals were even more venomous than Delmor’s assessment of her.

    They turned to see an unfamiliar, strikingly beautiful woman standing before them.


    “Who are you?”


    Millie approached them, but they failed to recognize her as the same woman they had just ndered.


    Faced with their inquiries, Millie had no desire to exin herself or engage in arguments with them.


    She had learned to let the words of others pass by without affecting her.
