Millie pursed her lips. It was useless for Bruce to cover up for his cousin and hide the truth when Marcus already admitted everything to her. It was impossible that this pregnant woman would attend the banquet when the Thomas family didn’t know about her relationship with Marcus.
“Bruce, there’s no need pretending anymore. | know everything. She is Marcus’ mistress, right? She is carrying his child. So yes, the child is your nephew.”
Bruce’s mouth dropped open in disbelief. He was even more shocked by the conviction in Millie’s words.
“Where the hell did you hear such? That woman is not Marcus’ mistress, and the child is definitely not Marcus’. Her name is Rylie, the wife of a very close friend of Marcus, Vincent. Vincent was from the powerful Faulkner family. The family went bankrupt four months ago and landed Vincent in jail. Before going, he asked Marcus to take care of his wife and child. If you spread this type of rumour and it reaches Vincent who is in jail, | can’t imagine how he would react to it.”
Millie’s mouth equally dropped open, but only for a second. It was her turn to be stunned. “You mean... That woman right there, is only the wife of Marcus’ friend?”
“That’s exactly what | mean. They are childhood best friends. Marcus has his flaws as we both know, but he wouldn’t do anything reckless, much less to his friend. If it can reassure you, Rylie got pregnant before Vincent went to jail.” Bruce answered her patiently.
Millie closed her eyes for a moment, unable to think.
Unconsciously, her eyes darted towards the balcony just as Marcus stepped back into the hall. He looked her way coincidentally and gave her a cunning smile, that evil glint in his eyes sharp from across the hall.
Millie gritted her teeth and clenched her fists in anger as she understood. The crazy man had played her for a fool.
In the distance, Rhea took a resentful bite of the juicy piece of beef on her fork.
She sent Millie to the balcony earlier, hoping she would make a scene. But she waited, and nothing happened.
She was certain that Millie would think Rylie Lambert was carrying Marcus’ child, and would create a scene.
Rhea didn’t know what went down, but she was angry that it didn’t work out as she had planned. ©Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
After pushing the piece of beef down her throat, she saw Bruce and Millie getting up and walking through the banquet hall. They seemed to be headed for the garden.
Just as soon, Rhea concocted another evil plan in her mind. She was determined to embarrass Millie no matter what.
Rhea dropped her fork and followed after them. Midway across the hall, a woman was walking by in front of Millie. Rhea looked around, and after seeing that no one was paying any attention to her, she pushed Millie on the back and got lost in the crowd.
Millie was about to cross the person in front of her when this happened. Caught off guard by the sudden push, she lost her balance and bumped into the young woman. Lara Yerkes’ glass of red wine landed first on the floor and shattered into pieces, before she joined it.
“Ouch!”
