“In that case, I would willingly give my life for you,” Marcus declared with unwavering determination.

He gently tilted Millie’s head, ensuring her gaze remained locked on his as he made his heartfelt vow.

The words were poetic and heartfelt, rendering Millie momentarily speechless. She responded by entwining her fingers with his.

As the crowd marveled at the spectacle of fireworks, an inconspicuous black car sat parked by the riverbank. Inside, a conversation unfolded.

“It’s strange how Marcus emerged unscathed after the poisoning incident. I saw him at the hospital that day.”

“If he has truly been poisoned, then there is something more sinister at play.”

The man seated in the back spoke coldly. “Even if Marcus survives this ordeal, it’s evident that Millie is his Achilles’ heel.”

The man’s gaze narrowed as he fixated on the fireworks outside the window. They were as captivating as Millie.

“Unless I permit it, do not lay a hand on her.”

Rhea made an effort to sway Celeste as she resisted the idea of marrying Darin.

“I’m still young, and I don’t want to rush into marriage. I want to spend more tgetting to know Darin better,” Rhea pleaded.

In truth, Rhea had kept her distance from Darin in private. Despite his affection for her, she had largely ignored him.

“Rhea, Darin is the sole heir of the Barker family, with a thriving fashion business.

I’ve heard that he’s genuinely smitten with you. Given your backgrounds, you two are a perfect match,” Celeste insisted.

Wary of Marcus’ warning, Celeste sought to quash Rhea’s fascination with Marcus swiftly.

“There seems to be a misunderstanding. I view Marcus as a brother, and I know that Shera had feelings for him while she was alive. I understand that you also had a connection with her. If the accident hadn’t occurred, Marcus would have been my brother-in-law. Nevertheless, letclarify that I have neither romantic inclinations towards Marcus nor any intention to cbetween him and Shera,” Rhea asserted.

Rhea recognized the importance of assuring Celeste, given her concerns about Rhea’s feelings for Marcus. So, Rhea strategically pretended to comply while quietly asserting her own wishes, aiming to take control of her future path.

Celeste’s expression darkened as Rhea mentioned the past. She had once believed Shera, a graduate of a prestigious university, to be a worthy match for her son.

Celeste had wanted Shera to be part of their family, but fate intervened in the form of the accident before their plans could materialize.

“If you’re opposed to marrying Darin, I won’t force you. It’s getting late, so you should head back home,” Celeste stated.

Frustrated by Celeste’s reluctance to consider her feelings, Rhea’s thoughts remained focused on Marcus. The prospect of marriage was unappealing to her, as she had her sights set on Marcus.

In that moment, she felt as if she were standing on a precipice. Should she reject marriage, her father would resign and return home, exacerbating the Evans family’s already precarious situation. Without her family’s support, her standing in Preagend’s hierarchical society would plummet.
