Celeste wasn’t one to bow in front of insolent people. She refused to stay quiet and let anyone be rude


    to her.


    “Millie, you better watch your tone. Your manners are getting worse as time goes by.”


    Shera finally looked up, a determined glint in her eyes.


    “Millie, can we talk alone?”


    “No!” Marcus cut in.


    “Say whatever you want to say here.”


    Hurt, Shera looked to Celeste for help. Celeste red at her son and said sternly, “Let them talk alone.


    I always wanted Shera to be my daughter-inw, and I still don’t like the one you’ve chosen.”


    “Okay,” Millie said before Celeste went on.


    She stood up and followed Shera to an empty room.

    After closing the door, they stood opposite each other. Millie could see a zing fire in Shera’s


    seemingly weak eyes.


    Millie had a hunch that Shera was much more powerful and brilliant than her sister.


    Shera didn’t say anything for a long time. She looked at Millie from head to toe, slowly scrutinizing her.


    Millie knew what Shera was probably thinking. She was surely telling herself that Millie didn’t deserve


    Marcus.


    Millie smiled and broke the silence.


    “Miss Evans, have you seen enough? Please, go ahead with your performance.”


    Shera snorted and said with a scowl, “I never knew Marcus had such bad taste.”


    What Millie had on at the moment couldn’t cost more than 2@ dors.


    “Did you assign the hit on my grandma?” Millie asked without mincing words.


    Shera stiffened slightly, but denied it firmly.


    “I don’t know what you are talking about.”


    She hadn’t gotten rid of thisw suit Marcus just filed. She couldn’t afford to be used of something


    else.


    However Millie doubted it.


    “I hope you’re right, because no one will protect you if I find out you were behind it after all.”


    “Do whatever you want. I had nothing to do with it.”Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
