Millie’s jaw clenched, and her eyes narrowed in rage. The man seemed really hellbent on bringing her


    to destruction.


    She said through gritted teeth, “Fiona fell on her own. I didn’t do anything to her.


    You’re barking at the wrong tree. Stop hurting the innocent for the sake of that maniptive woman.”


    When she was done talking, Leon came closer to her with slow, deliberate steps.


    Millie’s eyebrows furrowed as she took a few steps back.


    “what are you doing?” Millie demanded anxiously.


    Leon cornered her at the hallway’s end. A wind gust whirled around his fist as he punched the wall.


    “Do not badmouth her ever again if you don’t want me to kill you,” Leon threatened.


    Millie snorted. She was badmouthing no one. She was only stating facts, which Leon refused to


    believe.


    “What are youughing at?” Leon growled.


    “I’mughing because it’s funny how you keep choosing to ignore the truth. I find it hard to believe that


    after all the times you’ve interacted with Fiona, you still don’t see that she’s a terrible person. She’s


    shallow, money-obsessed, and constantly alters her persona depending on who she’s talking to. Even


    if she’s a good actress, you still should have picked up on some of her lies. Is that the kind you im to


    love so much, Leon? A wicked woman?”


    Leon’s heart softened slightly when she addressed him by name.


    Millie continued, “Have you ever done a thorough investigation into her, or are you too terrified to find


    out the truth? You can’t ept the fact that your true love will nevere back into your life, so you


    just deceived yourself into thinking that you already had her.”

    Leon was stunned into silence as he stared at Millie. She had hit the bull’s-eye.


    Fiona’s behaviour had left him utterly disappointed. She was often asking for money and always


    hindering him from getting any work done by asking him to go shopping with her.


    Millie’s voice was gentler as she advised, “Leon, you have to face your emotions and do some serious


    research on that woman. Find out if she’s really the one you’ve been looking for or if she’s just a fake. If


    she’s not the real deal, then you can always go back to looking for that person.”


    However, Millie underestimated Leon’s fixation on Aisha.


    A spark of fire red up in Leon’s eyes. To him, Millie’s actions seemed calcted to drive a wedge


    between her and Fiona.


    Fiona was Aisha; her personality just changed. Even though she had be vicious, he was still


    willing to love her.


    Millie, startled by Leon’s intense gaze, let go of the papers, which scattered to the floor.


    When Leon caught sight of what was written on the paper nearest to him, his rage intensified.


    “You even made up evidence to smear her. I should have known better, Millie. Do other people’s misery


    make you happy?”
