Chapter 163
Chapter: 163
Bruce feigned curiosity and continued, “Marcus, you truly are a scholar of great accomplishment. Your choice of words is undeniably refined. ‘Enlightening’? Using your mouth to enlighten Millie, you drew so near that one might mistake a kiss for imminent. It is rather embarrassing. In broad daylight, couldn’t you have sought a more secluded setting to educate her?”
Marcus couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, “Damn.”

“Bitch!”
Rhea emerged from the adjacent room and immediately commenced her assault on Millie's character as soon as she caught sight of her retreating figure.
“You conniving woman. You are naught but a seductress, employing every means to captivate Marcus.” Millie tumed around, her eyes meeting Rhea’s fiery gaze.
Rhea had just witnessed the interaction between Marcus and Millie on the balcony, and in that moment, she wished she could rush forward and tear Millie apart.

Lying upon her bed, Millie tossed and tured, unable to find solace in sleep, exhaling sighs of frustration. How had she allowed herself to be controlled by Marcus on the balcony? Was she not typically fearless? What troubled her most
was that when she peered into Marcus’ eyes, she saw naught but a reflection of herself as a mere clown, stripped of confidence and esteem.
She felt like an utter imbecile, a fool. Frustrated and sleepless, Millie resolved to rise from her bed and venture downstairs.
In the courtyard below, an elderly man wove bamboo baskets. Millie approached him politely and inquired, “Sir, what purpose do these bamboo baskets serve?”
The old man raised his head, observing Millie as she scrutinized a bamboo basket with utmost care.
“Miss, are you an employee of Mr. Thomas’ company as well? These bamboo baskets are intended for your use in picking oranges later,” he replied
