Chapter 381

Chapter: 381 “Do we know each other well enough forto trust you implicitly?” she countered, skepticism dancing in her eyes.

Despite her words, curiosity began to win her over. She lifted the glass; the aroma was pleasant, and she found herself on the brink of tasting it.

But a sudden intrusion stopped her. The drink was snatched from her grasp. “Are you drinking again?” Marcus’ voice was a stern reprimand.

Startled, Mylo’s heart skipped a beat, anxiety flooding him. Why had Marcus materialized so abruptly, catching him in the act of offering Millie an alcoholic beverage?

Marcus’ face was stormy as he regarded Millie’s innocent expression. “Don’t you understand that you cannot drink?” Millie’s mind whirled. But it wasn’t wine, she silently protested. Marcus’ gaze swung to Mylo, his eyes narrowing.

“Well, it was Millie who wanted to sample it. | warned her it contains alcohol and she shouldn't have it, but she insisted it was fine,” he said, his voice filled with false concern.

Millie found herself bereft of words, with anger and surprise battling within her.

Her fists clenched, anger bubbling up. What a malicious man! It was clear now that Mylo had a terrible character.

Yet the thought of the one and a half million smothered her rage, and she voiced her opinions, pointing accusingly at Mylo. “He insisted that it wasn’t alcohol beverage. Do you find my account credible?”

Marcus noticed Millie tightening her fists and Mylo’s nervous demeanor. He just removed his coat and took a seat.

“This drink is rather special. Though it lacks the taste of alcohol, it possesses the power to intoxicate,” Marcus gently remarked while fixing his gaze on Millie, his serious demeanor softening.

Mylo stealthily observed their expressions, pleased with himself for pinning the blon Millie.

If Marcus discovered that Mylo had encouraged Millie to drink, it would be disastrous for him.

“Millie, heed his words and refrain from drinking any further. Another bout of intoxication may result in further financial losses. You were fortunate that your husband was present last time; otherwise, you might have been kidnapped.”

Mylo pretended to be concerned as he persuaded her. Millie rolled her eyes, finding it futile to engage with him. This bad guy might be the one who tries to kidnap me. | must stay away from him, Millie resolved silently.

Frowning, Marcus picked up the glass and took a sip.
