Chapter 504


    Marcus’ first thought was that something bad had happened to Millie, which made him unconsciously ball up his hands into fists.


    Then, Millie emerged from the bedroom and made her way to the stairwell, carrying on as if nothing had happened.


    Upon seeing her, Marcus felt a huge sense of relief.


    In the midst of this disarray, Denby’s voice cut through the tension,den with reproach.N?velDrama.Org content.


    “You two are behaving inappropriately. What''s the meaning of thismotion?”


    Gianna, often mindful of decorum, seemed to have lost her usual control in the presence of an important guest, much to Denby’s


    displeasure.


    Gianna halted, casting a nce at Marcus before suppressing her anxiety. She exined, “It’s nothing; continue your


    conversation. Mia isn’t feeling well, so I’m taking her to the hospital.”


    With Mia swiftly ushered into a waiting car bound for the hospital, the scene unfolded.


    Millie descended the stairs and entered the living room.


    Denby struggled to contain his anger, his tone carrying weight.


    “Millie, what urred just now? Did you mistreat your sister? She was perfectly fine a while ago; why the sudden rush to the


    hospital?”


    It was clear that the situation was far from simple.


    Mia’s hasty hospitalisation suggested a more serious issue.


    In contrast, Millie exuded an air of calmness. Given the recent interaction between the two upstairs, Denby assumed Millie had


    bullied Mia.


    In Denby’s perception, Millie was perpetually plotting.


    Faced with Denby’s probing, Millie momentarily found herself at a loss for words.


    Denby’s treatment of Mia had always been marked by kindness, a stark contrast to his indifference toward Millie, even in her


    mother’s presence. Such paternal affection was a foreign concept to her, leaving her to wonder how he could be so cold-hearted.


    She vividly recalled the day he introduced an older girl named Mia, iming her to be his and Gianna’s daughter. The revtion


    had left her mother deathly pale.


    Given Denby’sck of warmth towards her, she felt nopulsion to reciprocate loyalty.


    Millie gestured towards Mia’s half-empty tea cup, her voice steady.


    “Dad, there’s something you should know. My sister’s actions are nothing short of foolish. She secretly added a medicine to her


    own tea, rendering herself infertile.


    This medicine, | heard, was recently developed by her uncle. Thankfully, she didn’t tamper with my cup; otherwise, | might have


    faced the same fate.”
