NovelEnglish“Con, let’s go in,” Marcus said to Millie, pulling her out of her thoughts.
“You’re back. Cand have a seat..”
Celeste trailed off when she saw Millie standing behind Marcus. She had no idea Millie was back from the countryside, before she could imagine seeing her here with Marcus.
Both Celeste and Shera were now pale as they exchanged a glance.
Marcus pulled Millie with him to the sofa. After loosening his tie, he looked at his mother.

A servant soon cin with four cups of rose tea. The servant placed them on the table and quickly left.
Now that Millie was present, Shera didn’t think she could plead as she had planned. She had too much pride for that. She just stared at the cup of rose tea absentmindedly.

Finally, it was Celeste that broke the awkward silence.
“Actually, I heard about the incident. Marcus, just give Shera another chance. She realizes her mistake. You know she’s been imprisoned for five years and endured immense suffering during this time. She won’t be able to bear it if she is locked up again.”
The only reaction Marcus gave after Celeste’s words, was to cross his legs. His face remained stoic. It was impossible to guess what he had in mind.
Millie was a little out of the loop. What incident?
A tear drop suddenly fell on Shera’s light green dress.
It seemed to hurt Celeste a lot as she saw this. With a straight face, her gaze shifted to Millie.
If she couldn’t move Marcus, then maybe Millie would be easier to handle.
“Millie, say something. It was indeed Shera who electrocuted you at the airport, but she truly regrets it now. Since you didn’t suffer any harm, just let it go. No one has endured more suffering than Shera these past few years.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was only then that Millie understood. Marcus found out what Shera did to her at the airport and notified the authorities about it.
Millie exchanged a glance with Marcus. She was a little hesitant to speak. Celeste was clearly asking her to spare Shera.
However, instead of it being a plea, it sounded more like a threat, and that was truly grating. Besides, she didn’t think that was all Shera had done. She suspected Shera of being behind the motorcycle accident that sent her grandma to the hospital. She really couldn’t think of a reason to let Shera go.
“I’m sorry, but we’re all adults here. When someone commits a crime, they have to be ready to take responsibility and face the consequences.”
Millie’s words infuriated Celeste who immediately began to berate her.
“Millie, do you even know how much she has suffered? Shera is Rhea’s older sister. After her car accident with Marcus, Rhea told us she had died, when she was in fact held up in a room overseas by her own sister. She was deprived of any contact with the outside world for five years. And now, you want her to be taken away by the police and locked up for another three or five years?”
“Well, I didn’t ask her to stun me,” Millie replied casually.
