Chapter 117
No way in hell was she going to act cutely again. Now that he brought it up, she felt nauseous and embarrassed by her own actions in the garden.
And to worsen things, it didn’t even help her. Not only did she lose her cover because of it, but she didn’t gain anything, and Rhea didn’t get punished as she wanted.
After a mental debate, Millie looked at Marcus in the eyes and said, “Forget it. I’ll deal with her another time. We can go back.”
Strangely enough, Marcus was disappointed by her decision. It only proved what he thought. She was only using him before, and he fell for it, acting soft-hearted and all.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Still holding Millie’s hand, Marcus pulled her towards the main hall. As soon as they crossed the doors, all eyes fell on them.
Millie squirmed. She was not used to being stared at so hard for reasons other than being ugly. They stared hard at Millie, surprised by how amazing she looked in her exquisite attire. ©
At the end of the day, the rumoured ugly girl tumed out to be the most beautiful. Some people who weren't at the garden even regretted missing out on the grand reveal.
“Millie is anything but ugly. Just look at her elegant nose and sparkling eyes. | feel like I’m hypnotized. Had | known earlier, | would have married her.”
“Hold your breath, will you? Don’t dream about even becoming her husband. She can never be with the likes of you.” To Millie’s displeasure, these conversations reached her ears. Before, all the discussions about her were filled with disgust and insults. But now, they all praised her.
Millie wished she could call them hypocrites to their faces. They judged people based on their appearances only. When Rhea pushed her in the pond earlier, they sided with the wicked wench just because of how she looked.
As if to confirm her thoughts, Lara walked over to Millie and bowed to her.
“Millie, I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding earlier.”
Millie’s eyes went wide in surprise. Lara, who had insulted her and acted so arrogantly earlier was now apologizing to her. As if that wasn’t enough, Johnnie soon joined his daughter.
“Lara, you shouldn’t address Mrs. Thomas by her name so casually!” he scolded her, then looked at Marcus. “Mr. Thomas, Lara’s actions after she fell down and hurt herself were impulsive and wrong. She spoke rudely to your wife and tainted her reputation. We sincerely apologize to you and Mrs. Thomas for her mistake. Please accept our heartfelt apologies.”
Millie looked at Marcus, waiting for him to answer. With a hard look on his face, he said coldly, “It’s behind us already. Just be more careful next time.”
“Absolutely, Mr. Thomas! We will learn from this and never repeat it again.” Johnnie nodded fervently, bowing repeatedly.
“Mrs. Thomas, your beauty is out of this world. It’s such a pity that you had to hide it from the world. Can you share some skincare tips with me?” Lara asked respectfully. Her father must have given her a good lesson to save the new collaboration with the Thomas Group.
