    Millie responded calmly, “I wasn’t overly curious, just merely asking.” With a hint of stubbornness in her tone, Millie reiterated her


    stance.


    In spite of his nondescript attire, the man from the previous night radiated an air of potential peril that was hard to dismiss.


    Naturally, she was curious.


    Observing Marcus’ guarded demeanor, Millie came to the realization that he wouldn’t divulge any information to her.


    Pivoting, Millie descended the staircase, eager to distance herself from the emotionally vtile Marcus.


    Upon reaching the living room, an unexpected call from her grandmother''s doctor filled the room.


    The news he delivered that Mr. Thomas had procured the elusive painkiller for her ailing grandmother struck her like lightning.


    What? Mr. Thomas had not only secured the medicine but had dispatched it to the hospital with impressive swiftness.

    sought to forge a crucial partnership by signing an order with herpany, enabling them to procure the finest diamond rough


    for future endeavors.


    A few days prior, Mrs. Barton had personally reached out to Marcus with hopeful aspirations. Beyond securing aprehensive


    agreement this time, she expressed her desire for the Thomas Group to craft a bespoke ne, showcasing their exceptional


    design expertise.


    Mrs. Barton''s reputation for discernment was legendary; even a ne with a royal pedigree might not appease her.


    Her confidence rested solely in her discerning taste, cing greater importance on the aesthetics and design of the ne


    rather than its mary value.


    Designing this particr ne presented a significant challenge. Among the talented designers in thepany, the chief


    designer, Nancy, naturally stood out as the most capable and suited for the task.


    Digesting the unsettling news, Marcus gravitated towards the balcony, resting against the railing while his brows knitted together


    in thought.

    asionally, Marcus marveled at Millie’s purity and her ability to maintain her happiness despite the harsh realities of life.


    After breakfast, Marcus escorted Millie to his car to drive her to work. Her mood was buoyant and unusually bright.


    ‘What prompts this merriment?” he asked.


    “My grandmother’s suffering will cease. Leon procured a potent remedy that will erase her torment.”
