This time, it was Rhea’s face that went pale.
“Rhea, you were with Marcus last night? Didn't | tell you...”
Celeste abruptly stopped talking, causing Millie to become curious. What did she tell Rhea?
“No, that’s not what happened, Mrs. Thomas. She just made that up. | never asked Marcus to buy me a bag. | simply said that the bag looked nice and asked him if it would look good on me. It was her who told Marcus to buy bags for us,” Rhea hurriedly explained. ©
Celeste nodded in understanding.
“That’s good to hear. Marcus has a lot of work to do in the daytime, so avoid bothering him at night. | don’t care about the bags. If you want anything, just tell me, and I'll get it for you. Just don’t disturb Marcus at night.”
“Okay. I'll keep that in mind,” Rhea replied. She then whipped her head and sent Millie a malicious glare. Celeste also tumed to Millie.
“Listen here, woman. You're not allowed to tell anyone that you’re Marcus's wife. If you breathe a word about it, I'll never forgive you. I'll look for someone else to be my son’s wife. You don’t deserve him.”
Instead of responding to Celeste’s threat, Millie got to her feet. “I'll just go outside for a stroll.”
As predicted, as soon as she stood up, Rhea’s foot showed signs of restlessness, priming itself to trip her once again. Millie smirked inwardly.
Rhea should not blame her for what she was about to do. She started it, after all. Asecond later, a scream echoed in the living room. “Ahh!”
Millie stepped forward while staring straight ahead, but her foot managed to land squarely on Rhea’s.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“You stepped on my foot, you bitch!” Rhea snarled.
“Sorry, 1 wasn’t looking where | was going. Does it hurt?” When Millie stepped back, a footprint mark was already forming on Rhea’s instep.
“Millie, you're such a bitch! Rhea, are you okay?” Celeste asked in a worried tone. ©
“It hurts, Mrs. Thomas! | think she did that on purpose. She’s upset because | told you about her asking Marcus to buy her a bag. Fine, I'll just keep quiet next time!
Ow, it hurts so much. | think my foot is swollen now,” Rhea whined.
When she noticed Marcus approaching, she stooped lower to show him how hurt she was.
