Chapter 524


    “Mr. Thomas, madam, Bria is orchestrating a scheme against Mrs. Thomas. The im that she has a liaison with a staff member


    is baseless. She truly did not engage in such actions,” Gemma interjected, stepping forward in fervent defense of Millie.


    “Gemma, your aptitude for mendacity is quite impressive. It''s no secret that you share a close bond with Mrs. Thomas. Your


    diligence during workdays is notablyckluster. Clearly, you’re relying on Mrs. Thomas for leniency,” Bria retorted.


    Gemma’s frustration mingled with the anxiety of being framed.


    Protesting, Gemma denied, “I’ve never cked off. You’re crossing a line. You’re the one exploiting your seniority to shirk your


    responsibilities.”


    Promptly, Bria countered, “Really? Mae, enlighten us. Was she indeed idling?”


    Gemma stated, “Mae’s allegiance to you is clear; naturally, she’d advocate on your behalf.”


    Millie subtly gestured to Gemma, urging her to halt. Given Bria’s knack for deceit,


    Celeste would likely give credence to her ount.


    Millie''s smile carried a hint of coldness after she unmasked Bria’s true nature.N?velDrama.Org content.


    “Bria, I''ll let this slide this time. Repercussions will follow your actions,” Millie acknowledged, understanding herck of defense


    due to the absence of surveince in the room.


    “Don’t you have tasks to fulfil? Why loiter here?” Marcus suddenly reprimanded the assembly.


    The staff promptly dispersed.


    Millie knelt to gather the fragments, cing them in a container. She had endured the false usations, focusing on salvaging


    the shattered vase.


    As she readied to depart, Marcus’ voice sounded behind her.


    “Where do you think you’re headed?” She heard a growling from Marcus.


    Startled, Millie turned to meet Marcus’ icy gaze, a pang of hurt surfacing as she squinted at him.


    Evidently, his trust in her remained tenuous.


    “I''m heading out to acquire some poison. Since I’ve been falsely used, | might as well embrace the role and exact a fitting


    revenge,” Millie retorted.


    Her usatory finger pointed at Bria, who appeared frantic at the statement.


    “What? You can’t do that to me. Madam, Mr. Thomas, intervene!” Bria eximed.


    In response, Millie left the scene.


    Marcus stepped forward, guiding Millie to their bedroom. He shut the door, his gaze unwavering as he regarded her.
