Marcus, sensing the lack of trust in Millie’s eyes, grew exasperated.

As Marcus approached and glimpsed the content of the video Millie had been watching, a dark cloud crossed his countenance, intensifying the situation.
In haste, he took her phone, powered it down, and endeavored to soothe her with words.
“Honey, we need to talk. I’ve never been to such a place, please have faith in my words.”
Millie’s anger was so intense that it left her with a parched mouth.
She turned around and inquired, “You share such a strong bond with Mylo, and he’s been to that location, so it’s likely you’ve been there too. Moreover, when you engage in business negotiations, you often find yourself in comparable places.”
Marcus felt a sense of helplessness. Millie had made assumptions based on his friendship with Mylo, thinking that he’d indulged in the same activities.
Marcus couldn’t fathom her thought process.
Given his social status, he rarely needed to entertain others for business. It was typically others seeking his collaboration.
He consistently declined those who attempted to use allure or entice him to nightclubs, making it clear he wouldn’t engage with such approaches in the future.
Marcus had no other option but to search for his bank card consumption records on his phone.
“You can verify my expenditure records. Both of my cards’ information is right here on my phone, so feel free to examine it closely.”
He handed his phone to her with complete transparency, which left Millie taken aback.
Marcus took a seat and delicately placed her on his lap. The consumption records appeared on the phone screen in front of them.

His fingers traced the phone’s screen.
“Come on, let’s investigate this together. If you have any concerns about any of the expenses, don’t hesitate to ask. I’m here to clarify any doubts,” Marcus reassured her.
Millie Lightly touched her face, feeling a tinge of embarrassment over her unwarranted suspicions.
Marcus proceeded to explain his expenditures one by one.
“I spent $3.2 million on my grandmother’s birthday gift. Additionally, there was a $5, 980 bill at Skyline and $526 for the oil fee.”
As Millie listened to his detailed breakdown, she kept her eyes glued to the phone, causing her neck to gradually ache. At last, his phone displayed the recent expenses incurred at the resort.
Every expenditure seemed utterly ordinary. Millie scratched her ear, overwhelmed by shame. She couldn’t bring herself to look at Marcus.
He hadn’t betrayed her trust, and she felt like an irrational and resentful woman.
Millie turned, burying her face in the crook of his neck.
