    Chapter: 357


    An unreadable expression crossed Marcus’ face as he replied, “This was what our families had agreed upon.”


    In other words, the money had to be given to the intended recipient since doing otherwise would be impolite.


    Millie sighed. She must have done something terrible in her past life to deserve being used and oppressed by Gianna in this one.


    Instead of bing even more worked up, Millie covered herself with the nket and decided to just sleep.


    As Millie drifted off to sleep, Marcus remained standing under the warm glow of the light, lost in thought.


    Thepany’s chief jewellery designer, Nancy, had already confirmed that she was not avable to meet Mrs. Barton, which


    meant that no one would be able to amodate thetter''s request.


    In the jewellery industry, Nancy was a household name. Her custom jewellery had been thepany’s best-seller ever since she


    started working there two years ago.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    She had even designed an extraordinary jewellery set for the Duke of Windsor.


    As of right now, there were very few jewellery designers in the country that could hold a candle to Nancy in terms of talent and


    skills.


    The only one who could was the mysterious jewellery designer called X, whose appearance remained unknown to this day.


    Once, X designed a ne called “Sky Heart,” and it won the top prize in the biggest jewellerypetition in the world.


    Everyone who had seen the Sky Heart ne agreed that its craftsmanship was nothing short of spectacr. The jewellery’s


    uniqueness and stunning design were testaments to the designer’s extraordinary talent. It was universally agreed that the


    ne was the most stunning piece of jewellery ever disyed.


    The ne used to be highly sought-after by a number of affluent businesspeople, who would often offer absurdly high rates to


    acquire it. Even to this day, a lot of people wanted to buy it.


    However, the designer decided to give up ownership of the jewellery and instead gift it to a museum for public disy, on the


    proviso that ten percent of the museum’s annual admission earnings be donated to charity organizations.


    Millie did not go to work the next day. After finishing her morning chores, she apanied her grandmother in the hospital. She


    was driven back home in the afternoon.


    Both Celeste and Marcus had already gone out by the time she returned.


    Earlier that morning, Millie awoke to the sound of shuffling in the room. When she opened her eyes, she saw Marcus packing his


    luggage. It seemed like he was going on a business trip again.


    Back in the present, with nothing else to do, Millie sat in the living room and started reading a jewellery magazine.


    After a while, she stumbled upon a certain article. ording to it, the Thomas Group was to sign a coboration agreement with


    thergest rough diamond supplier in the world. Millie''s eyes widened in astonishment.


    Once the two parties had signed the agreement, the jewellerypany owned by the Thomas Group would definitely take off


    like a rocket and develop at an uncontroble rate.


    Millie was snapped out of her reverie when Gemma walked over to her and winked at her.


    “Madam, have you noticed something different?”
