Chapter: 66

Maintaining her composure, Celeste added, “She can’t attend the party no matter what, Marcus. You know very well that not only members of the Thomas family but also influential members of the business and political communities will be there. If she shows up, it'll look like we’ve accepted her into the family.”

Marcus leaned back on the sofa and lowered his head. He then said carefully, “The public is already aware that we got married. Why does it matter whether she attends the party or not?”

The thought of their marriage being made public cast a gloom over Celeste’s features. She nearly passed out from fury when she learned of the details.

Whoever leaked that information definitely wanted to ruin her son’s reputation.

“That’s not the same. Your marriage was leaked by someone who had ill intentions toward you. I'll never accept that woman as my daughter-in-law, but everyone will think otherwise if she shows up at the party,” Celeste stated.

Marcus's jaw grew tense, but he remained silent.

“There’s no common thread connecting your life with hers. You two will never be together for the rest of your lives. She’s just an obstacle that you must overcome.

Anyway, that’s all | want to say. The decision is still yours to make.”

With that, Celeste got to her feet and stared at her son for a moment, wondering what was on his mind. She then straightened her shawl and retreated to her room.

Marcus looked up at the second floor, where the bedroom he shared with Millie was located. There was light coming through its open door.

He drummed his fingers on his knees as Celeste’s words echoed in his mind.

In the bedroom, Millie was wearing a smile on her face as she picked out a necklace to go with her dress for the party. She felt a surge of joy at the prospect of seeing Leon the next day, and she also felt renewed optimism about her grandmother’s health.

Suddenly, she heard Marcus’s authoritative voice from behind her.

“Don’t waste your tgetting ready; you won't be going to the party tomorrow.”

The necklace fell from Millie’s grasp. She felt like someone had dumped a bucket of cold water on her head.

She spun around, her face going from white to red with wrath. What Marcus had said had completely derailed her plans. She could not accept this. She had to attend the party. It was her one and only chance to meet Leon in person.

“Why? I’m her granddaughter-in-law. | should be there to celebrate her birthday,”

Millie reasoned.

Marcus unbuttoned his cuff and shot her a cold look.

“Her granddaughter-in-law? Do | need to remind you how you got that identity? You wouldn’t be here now if you didn’t trick me into marrying you.”

Millie’s breath hitched. It was true that Marcus had been deceived by her and her family, but she had never wanted to marry him. She would have never agreed to it if her grandmother had not needed a surgery.

“In any case, it’s a joyous occasion, so | need to be there. It'll be rude to your grandmother if | don’t attend her birthday party,” Millie continued to reason.
