Chapter 523


    “| haven''t received a single p here, even from madam herself. Though | am a servant, | am not here to endure abuse. Mrs.


    Thomas possesses formidable power.


    She exacts violence at her whim. Does she alone decree this vi’s fate?”


    The sight of the shattered porcin gnawed at Celeste’s heart. Millie’s own hand had marred this exquisite piece.


    Caught by Marcus, how could Millie resort to striking Bria?


    “Millie, the temerity! | have only reproached the staff, yet you dare to strike them.


    Who do you envisage yourself to be?”


    Defiant anger ignited Millie’s eyes, her chin raised in defiance.


    “| hold no  for anyone present. Equality prevails; their pursuits alone differ.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Bria bore my hand for her malice.”


    “Madam, she struck me because my assertion rings true. She has liaisons with the maleborers.”


    With each uttered word, the matter descended further into chaos.


    Marcus stood there with an intense expression, his demeanor evoking a sense of intimidation at a single nce.


    Had Millie really been involved with a male worker?


    If Bria’s ims held truth, Marcus wouldn’t easily let Millie off the hook.


    Millie’s lips curled, a mix of trepidation and annoyance swirling as she felt the weight of Marcus’ piercing gaze.


    “Mrs. Thomas, | solemnly promise never to utter anything unfavorable about you again. Please forgive me. | have a grandson to


    care for. Spare me from any ill intentions. | beseech you,”


    Bria implored, approaching Millie and dropping to her knees.


    Her words were perplexing to Millie.


    The shocking revtionpelled Millie to take a step back.


    Bria’s tactics were indeed sly.


    Although her plea for mercy was evident, her words carried an underlying implication that painted Millie as a malevolent figure.


    “Mr. Thomas, madam, | implore you to prevent Mrs. Thomas from causing me harm. | bear the responsibility of supporting my


    family,” Bria beseeched.
