Chapter 407


    Chapter: 407


    He could not say it out loud, but he was worried about Millie.


    As they got into the elevator to go to the upper floor, Marcus let out a quiet sigh. He had never felt this helpless before.


    “Were you scared?” Marcus asked.


    Millie shook her head and replied, “No, it’s not that bad.”


    Her calmness surprised Marcus. Despite the fact that she had been almost publicly humiliated, she handled the situation


    gracefully, like a blossom on a branch that no one would dare to touch.


    “Why didn’t you tell everyone who the culprit is?”


    Millie shrugged. “It’s not worth mentioning. Besides, | already scared her off.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Nancy was the chief jewelry designer at the Thomas Group. If what she did earlier were to be public knowledge, it would


    have devastating consequences for thepany.


    udia was kind to her, and Marcus saved her from embarrassment earlier, so she did not want to put the Thomas Group in


    jeopardy.


    As soon as Millie retumed to her room, she wasted no time getting to work on her design.


    Marcus also went back to his room and rested for a while before heading back to the banquet hall for the auction.


    Meanwhile, Nancy, who had been lying on the bed in a quiet room, opened her eyes.


    She had pretended to faint earlier to prevent Millie from exposing what she had done.


    Suddenly, a tall man entered the room and hurried over to her with a worried expression on his face.


    “Why did you faint? Haven''t you been eating properly?”


    Nancy’s eyes widened a little upon seeing the man, and she eximed, “Humphrey!”


    Humphrey Morgan was a handsome and aplished young man. However, despite harboring feelings for Nancy, she did not


    feel the same way for him.


    She could not bring herself to like another man.


    She already liked someone, and she wanted to get closer to that person. She studied jewelry design and joined the Thomas


    Group for this reason.


    Nancy was a child when she first saw Marcus.


    At that time, she swore she would marry him.


    She worked hard to get close to him, eliminating her fiercest rivals one by one until only Rhea was left.
