Chapter 357
Chapter: 357
An unreadable expression crossed Marcus’ face as he replied, “This was what our families had agreed upon.”
In other words, the money had to be given to the intended recipient since doing otherwise would be impolite.
Millie sighed. She must have done something terrible in her past life to deserve being used and oppressed by Gianna in this one. Instead of becoming even more worked up, Millie covered herself with the blanket and decided to just sleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Millie drifted off to sleep, Marcus remained standing under the warm glow of the light, lost in thought.
The company’s chief jewellery designer, Nancy, had already confirmed that she was not available to meet Mrs. Barton, which meant that no one would be able to accommodate the latter's request.
In the jewellery industry, Nancy was a household name. Her custom jewellery had been the company’s best-seller ever since she started working there two years ago.
She had even designed an extraordinary jewellery set for the Duke of Windsor.
As of right now, there were very few jewellery designers in the country that could hold a candle to Nancy in terms of talent and skills.
The only one who could was the mysterious jewellery designer called X, whose appearance remained unknown to this day. Once, X designed a necklace called “Sky Heart,” and it won the top prize in the biggest jewellery competition in the world.
Everyone who had seen the Sky Heart necklace agreed that its craftsmanship was nothing short of spectacular. The jewellery’s uniqueness and stunning design were testaments to the designer’s extraordinary talent. It was universally agreed that the necklace was the most stunning piece of jewellery ever displayed.
The necklace used to be highly sought-after by a number of affluent businesspeople, who would often offer absurdly high rates to acquire it. Even to this day, a lot of people wanted to buy it.
However, the designer decided to give up ownership of the jewellery and instead gift it to a museum for public display, on the proviso that ten percent of the museum’s annual admission earnings be donated to charity organizations.
Millie did not go to work the next day. After finishing her morning chores, she accompanied her grandmother in the hospital. She was driven back hin the afternoon.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBoth Celeste and Marcus had already gone out by the tshe returned.
Earlier that morning, Millie awoke to the sound of shuffling in the room. When she opened her eyes, she saw Marcus packing his luggage. It seemed like he was going on a business trip again.
Back in the present, with nothing else to do, Millie sat in the living room and started reading a jewellery magazine.
After a while, she stumbled upon a certain article. According to it, the Thomas Group was to sign a collaboration agreement with the largest rough diamond supplier in the world. Millie's eyes widened in astonishment.
Once the two parties had signed the agreement, the jewellery company owned by the Thomas Group would definitely take off like a rocket and develop at an uncontrollable rate.
Millie was snapped out of her reverie when Gemma walked over to her and winked at her.
“Madam, have you noticed something different?”
