Mylo swiftly exited the restroom. He wanted to catch up with Millie and exin, but Millie had already


    departed.


    Upon Brenna’s return to the banquet hall, she felt utterly despondent. Her heart ached intensely.


    On the balcony, seeing Mylo approach with a somber expression, a businessman. who had been


    conversing with Marcus concluded their discussion.


    “It seems Mr. Barrett needs to have a word with you. We can continue our conversationter, Mr.


    Thomas.”


    After the businessman left, Marcus took a sip of wine and regarded Mylo’s solemn face.


    “What’s the matter?”


    Just as Mylo was about to speak, Brenna reappeared. “Mylo, please give me another chance.”


    Annoyed, Mylo shot Brenna a fierce nce. Trembling with fear, Brenna hurriedly retreated.


    “Trouble in paradise?” Marcus frowned.


    Mylo, his anger restrained, replied, “We were deceived by her. The scar on her forehead is caused by


    her own. It’s not Millie’s fault.”


    “What do you mean?” Marcus inquired.


    Adjusting his tie, Mylo borated, “Brenna used to be a bully in school. She had someone bully Millie.


    Millie defended herself and pushed her into a door, resulting in the injury to Brenna’s forehead. It was


    her own doing. Yet she’s ming everything on Millie.”


    Mylo couldn’t forgive Brenna for plotting against Marcus’ wife.


    Upon hearing this, Marcus’ anger surpassed even Mylo’s. After downing the contents of his ss,


    Marcus left the balcony.


    Meanwhile, Millie found a secluded corner to quietly respond to a message.


    Louis, the renowned jewelry designer, was giving a lecture at Preagend University.

    Since they knew each other, Louis invited Millie to be his assistant.


    Observing Marcus’plex expression as he approached, Millie felt perplexed.


    Marcus inquired, “Are you tired? Shall we leave?”


    Pausing her message, Millie ced her phone down and nced at the ongoing dinner party. “You


    don’t have to leave. I’ll ask Derek to give me a ride back.”


    Her purpose for attending this party was actually to caution Rhea. She hadn’t anticipated encountering


    Mylo’s new girlfriend, her old adversary.


    Now that she had delivered her warning and sought retribution, the business-rted socializing was no


    longer relevant to her.
