“Mr. Yerkes, I’m sorry for hurting your daughter. | would like to take her to the hospital myself and take care of the bills,” Millie apologized, then went to Lara, ready to bow and apologize to her too.
“Miss Yerkes, I’m...” Marcus’ hand on hers stopped her words. He pulled Millie behind him, then looked at Johnnie.
“Mr. Yerkes, | would like to discuss a potential collaboration between our companies. | think it will be a great opportunity for the both of us.”
Johnnie’s eyes went wide. Was this really happening?
He couldn't count the number of times he had struggled to get into collaboration with Marcus. He failed each time. If this worked out, it was going to be the highlight of his own company.
Johnnie’s face beamed with a smile, and his tone instantly changed as he said, “That would be great. Maybe we can talk about it now that you are available. All of this is just a misunderstanding. Let's get back to the party. Besides, | think Mrs. Thomas was actually framed.”
Lara looked at her father with a pout. “Dad, she hasn’t apologized to me yet!”
Johnnie shot her a glare that clamped her mouth shut. How was his daughter so naive? What good would an apology do when they finally had the opportunity to cooperate with the Thomas Group?
“Let bygones be bygones, Lara. You don’t need an apology. Come on, let’s get your wound treated.” Before leaving with his daughter, Johnnie looked at Marcus and said apologetically,
“Mr. Thomas, could you please give me some time? I'll take Lara to the infirmary and join you afterwards.” The crowd dispersed as Johnnie left.
Millie was still in shock. Marcus really stopped her from apologizing to Lara by gripping her arm roughly. Millie hissed in pain, looking up at Marcus’ angry face.
Before she could put in a word, he scolded her mercilessly, “Were you going to make a fool of yourself out of jealousy? Millie, look around for Christ’s sake! Everyone here is more beautiful than you! Are you going to try hurting all of them too?”
His words cleared all doubts Millie had of him. She glared back at him and replied, “| thought you were a smart man. You should have known this was all a plot. Why did you stop me from apologizing to her then?”
“What is your apology worth? What good did it do when you spoke those dirty words last time you apologized? You don’t expect me to trust you this time. Do you think I’m blind? | saw you pestering Leon earlier. Did you want to seduce him?”
Millie clenched her fists. Why was he bringing that up? She admitted that she said some unpleasant things that day, but she was only retaliating and defending herself. Marcus teamed up with Rhea, and made her, his wife, apologize to Rhea.
This situation had nothing to do with that one. It was completely different.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
As if that wasn’t enough, Marcus thought she was flirting with Leon just because he saw them chatting for a while. Just this evening, Marcus had chatted with numerous ladies. Was she to assume that he was also flirting with them because they were beautiful?
“Find some secluded place where | won't see you until it's time to cut the cake. If | see you before then or any other time for that matter, I'll throw you out myself,”
Marcus ordered with authority, towering over Millie.
Leon, who had just been accosted by Millie walked over with a smug look on his face.
