Chapter 372
Chapter: 372
“Madam, this is the situation. Mrs. Barton expects the Thomas Group to craft a necklace for her. We believe it’s an unstated but crucial prerequisite for this partnership.”
“If | were in Nancy’s shoes, I'd be here regardless of my health condition. The Thomas Group has been nothing but generous toward her. She’s showing excessive pride. Despite the doctor’s assurances, she insists on feeling unwell. | suspect she’s feigning illness.”
The other one glanced at his watch and announced, “Madam, we must make our way inside.” Once the two men departed, Millie reflected for a moment, and it dawned on her that Marcus was indeed in a pickle.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMillie proceeded straight to the forest and the frozen lake situated at the mountain’s base. It took her more than two hours to complete a full walk around.
During her retum journey, Millie chanced upon Mrs. Barton and her secretary, Simon, strolling in the forest.
Mrs. Barton appeared dignified and elegant, donning a hat that complemented the style of her cloak. Despite being over 50 years old, she radiated a remarkable and captivating aura. Thad left its mark on her face, but it only seemed to enhance her beauty.
As Millie admired Mrs. Barton from afar, she couldn’t help but wonder if Marcus had concluded his conversation with Mrs. Barton.
Meanwhile, her mind drifted to the biography she had recently read about this remarkable female entrepreneur. The book depicted Mrs. Barton’s inspiring journey, fraught with numerous setbacks, but she always found the strength to persevere and overcchallenges.
Mrs. Barton lost her parents at the age of five and was subsequently adopted by a couple who unfortunately subjected her to abuse. Despite these challenges, she persevered and managed to overcthem. However, when she turned twenty-two, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent surgery for it. Tragically, following the surgery, her husband divorced her and remarried another woman. The story left a deep impression on Millie, fueling her admiration for the resilient woman she now saw before her.
Mrs. Barton’s daughter passed away at twenty-six, and at twenty-eight, her business partner betrayed her, leaving her homeless with her son.
At thirty, tragedy struck again when her son was shot on his way hfrom school. Since then, Mrs. Barton had been left to face life’s challenges alone. At thirty-three, she was falsely accused and imprisoned for seven years.
Nonetheless, after her release, Mrs. Barton’s unwavering spirit led her to establish a highly influential diamond raw material company.
Despite expressing her desire to die multiple times, she steadfastly refused to surrender to fate.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMrs. Barton wandered around the forest, occasionally pausing at sspots, while simon diligently captured photos of her with his camera.
Simon appeared somewhat unfamiliar with the art of photography, leading Millie to deduce that he rarely used cameras.
After Mrs. Barton stopped, Simon showed her the pictures he had taken with the camera.
“Mrs. Barton, please take a look,” he said, presenting the pictures to her.
As Mrs. Barton examined the pictures in the camera, a frown creased her brow, causing Simon to feel immediately nervous.
“Mrs. Barton, | will be taking a photography class soon,” he added, attempting to alleviate any concems she might have.
