Chapter 218

“Break my legs? By what right? Do you think | enjoy running away? I’m also scared of running into trouble. You're the one to blame. You can only trust Rhea’s words.

Do you know that | have my grandma to look after? If I’m not around, who's going to care for her in her old age?”

After her outburst, Millie realized her words still echoed in the room. She was taken aback. She had let her anger out, likely waking everyone in the mansion.

Millie licked her dry lips, feeling uneasy. She wriggled free from Marcus and rushed to take a shower. Upon waking the following morning, Millie checked her phone and noticed several messages from Grace.

“Moming, Millie. Are you awake yet? You're covering my shift at the Skyline Restaurant today. It starts at 9 a.m. Don’t be late; I’ve informed the manager.”

“We're already airborne. Beautiful weather up here.”

“Llove you, dear.”

Millie responded to the messages. As she descended the stairs, she caught sight of Celeste’s intense gaze.

Ahint of anxiety washed over Millie, but she composed herself and proceeded down the stairs. She noted that despite Celeste’s apparent dissatisfaction, she didn’t make any attempts to make things difficult.

The situation was perplexing. Considering Celeste’s temperament, Millie expected a backlash for not adhering to the punishment last night.

Gemma was tending to the plants by the door when Millie spotted her. “Good morning, Mrs. Thomas.” “Gemma, can you fillin on what happened last night?”

“What happened later? Oh, after you left, Rhea’s lie got exposed, leaving her quite mortified.”

“Hold on, what lie?”

“The incident at the lake where you pushed her. It turns out she hit you with a rock first, prompting your retaliation. She certainly had it coming, always bullying others yet never tolerating the sdone to her.”

Millie was baffled; she was the only one who knew the truth. “But how did you find out?”

“Derek told Mrs. Thomas. He witnessed Rhea assaulting you with the stone, which left Rhea red-faced and Mrs. Thomas with no choice but to believe him. Derek is, after all, a trusted subordinate of Mr. Thomas. Mrs. Thomas then reprimanded Rhea and warned her against exploiting her kindness ever again.”

“Derek claimed to have seen it all?” Millie sought to confirm.
