Chapter: 396

Millie spun around, her voice firm. “Agreed. Whoever loses will degrade themselves to a dog's level.”

“You two...” Mrs. Barton’s voice intruded like a sudden breeze.

Millie and Nancy both turned to the source of the voice, discovering Marcus and Mrs. Barton approaching.

Marcus’ face was as cold and impassive as a winter's night.

Nancy’s heart fluttered with unease, then settled. Witnesses were present, and Millie could not escape her challenge.

“Mrs. Barton, Mr. Thomas, | trust you overheard our exchange. Millie has accepted the bet. | hope you'll bear witness,” Nancy stated, her voice laced with victory.

Mrs. Barton departed, and Marcus dismissed Nancy as well. Now, only Marcus and Millie stood in the dim hallway.

Marcus’ suit jacket hung open, revealing the crisp white dress shirt beneath. To Millie’s reluctant admiration, he was the embodiment of elegance in that white shirt.

His straight black pants clung to his long legs, ending in a pair of gleaming black shoes. Standing a mere three meters from Millie, his aura was as imposing as a great mountain. “Millie, must you engage in these senseless disputes? Will you really bark like a dog?” Marcus’ voice cut through her resolve.

Millie lifted her head and gazed directly into Marcus’ eyes. He appeared convinced that she was destined to fail, and it was truly pitiful. Even if parents knew their child was lacking in saspects, they would still offer encouragement.

“In the end, you’re simply afraid ofembarrassing you,” Millie asserted.

Millie expressed her discontent by pursing her lips. Though feeling distrusted was undoubtedly unpleasant, she made sure not to show it. Maintaining a nonchalant attitude, she acted as if she didn’t care.

Marcus’ anger flared like a newly lit fire. “You may disregard my dignity, but you cannot ignore your own,” he snapped, his words like a slap.

Millie’s heart stung with his words. Was he truly concerned or merely mocking her perceived inadequacy?

“Don't fret over me. In your eyes, no one can rival Nancy, right? Just don’t disgrace yourself.”

Millie waved her hand, displaying her lack of fear towards the competition. Once she had entered this field, she believed there was no reason to fear her opponents.

“You...” Marcus’ words were lost, stolen by Millie’s casual confidence. It was as though she were imbued with unbreakable faith in her abilities.

Turning, Marcus started to walk away, only to be halted by Millie’s sharp cry. “Wait a moment!”

Marcus paused, his deep eyes fixed on her, waiting.
