Despite Gianna’s efforts, a few plants remained indomitable.
Eyes shut, Millie contemplated. Soon, the rhythmic click of heels approached.
Millie’s eyes fluttered open to find Mia standing there, arms crossed, studying her closely.

“Well, if | really did steal your money, you’re more than welcto take legal action and havethrown into jail. Oh, and let's not forget, you accusedof drugging you and impersonating you to marry into the Thomas family. If you dare to spread those lies again, I'll have no choice but to sue you for defamation.”
“How dare you threaten to sue us?”
“When | was abducted that time, | was gathering evidence. And now I've figured out that the person behind it was wearing a pair of dragon and phoenix-shaped earrings. If my memory servesright, Gianna has a pair.”
“No, my mother doesn’t have those anymore. She lost them a while back. Don’t try to smear our name.” Mia’s anxiety was palpable. How did Millie know that the perpetrator had wom those earrings?
Did the kidnappers spill the beans to her?
Seeing Mia flustered was a small victory for Millie.
“What a shame. They must have been quite valuable.”
Indeed, they were of great worth. Passed down from Mia’s mother’s family ancestors, these earrings lent an air of elegance to whomever adorned them. They were her mother’s most cherished jewels.
Mia clenched her teeth, her voice tense. “You've grown quite capable, it seems.”

Mia’s fury left her speechless. She longed to tear Millie's mouth apart.
After a moment of seething silence, Mia lashed out again, her words dripping with venom.
“Your arrogance will have consequences. Just wait and see.”
With that, Mia turned on her heels and walked away, only to find Marcus approaching.
Quickly veering in the opposite direction, Mia couldn't bear to be near him, his commanding aura striking a chord of fear within her.
