Chapter 297

Millie’s radiant eyes sparkled brighter, confident in her belief that he did harbor feelings for someone. However, his icy tone instantly shattered her daydream. “Ever been told you have an overbearing sense of self-importance?”

Ajolt ran through Millie’s heart. She immediately withdrew her hand that was resting on her chin, as if his words were a chilling arrow striking her core.

He was accusing her of arrogance.

Yet upon further introspection, she acknowledged that her hasty inquiry might indeed have coff as impertinent.

Subduing her head, Millie quietly nibbled at her food before muttering, “I apologize; | overstepped.” Her voice was barely audible. Leon silently chewed on his egg without saying a word in response.

Despite the crowded breakfast shop, a frosty air hung around their table.

The tension made Millie feel like she was gasping for air. The men of the Thomas family seemed natural creators of such frigid ambiances. She put down her utensils and hurriedly remarked, “You carry on eating; | need to leave for work.”

Millie’s graceful figure promptly darted away from the shop. Leon's piercing dark eyes narrowed, pondering. This Millie sure is intriguing.

Gossip had it that Celeste went to great lengths to torment Millie by deliberately firing two servants from the villa, pushing Millie to adopt the roles of a cleaner and gardener. Yet she naively accepted it.

Any other daughter-in-law from a prestigious family would have outright refused such tasks.

Furthermore, it was known that Millie’s biological mother had passed away early on, leaving her at the mercy of her stepmother, Gianna, who oppressed her.

However, she flourished under her grandmother’s love and care. Still, Millie had quite a tarnished reputation in high society. The mere mention of Millie’s nelicited disdain due to widespread rumors that she drugged the entire Brown family to usurp Mia Brown’s place as the rightful mistress of the Thomas family and marry into the family.

Initially, he too scoffed at Millie's presence. Wasn’t Marcus competent enough? How did he fall for a woman’s tricks?

After a thorough investigation, however, he realized that these tales were intentionally crafted by Gianna and Mia.

In the past, Mia perceived Marcus as disabled, assuming marriage would lead to disgrace. That was why she brought Millie back, using the promise of surgery for Millie's grandmother as leverage to pressure her into marrying Marcus in Mia’s stead.

The true villains were Gianna and Mia.

The envy of women can be truly horrifying. Learning that Marcus was in perfect health, the regretful Brown mother-daughter duo embarked on a smear campaign against Millie.
