“Madam, it’s pouring outside. It’s dangerous for her to go out now,” Derek interjected on Millie’s behalf.
“What does that matter? I don’t care about her safety. This ungrateful girl isn’t worth my concern.”
Celeste was consumed with anger at being unjustly accused of murder. She vowed never to forgive Millie for this.

I’m no philanthropist, nor am I obligated to take on their responsibilities. Marcus, I’ve already urged you to finalize the divorce agreement. Why haven’t you done it?”
“Oh, so you’re finally being honest.” Millie sneered at the revelation.
Seeing this, the servants trembled in fear.
Millie’s sneer deepened. “I can leave, but don’t think for a second that you’ll escape the consequences of harming my grandmother.”
As Millie turned to leave, Marcus stepped in her way.
“Let’s investigate this thoroughly first.”
“Is that necessary? I know you aristocrats believe that an ordinary girl likeand my seriously ill grandmother don’t belong in this environment. But I have my pride.
So what if I’m ordinary and poor? I refuse to feel inferior around you.”
Tears welled up in Millie’s eyes. She loathed her own vulnerability.
While Marcus was momentarily lost in thought, Millie managed to break free from his grip and dash out into the rain. Yet, in no time, someone followed and scooped her up before she could escape.

Carrying Millie, Marcus ascended the stairs and unceremoniously dropped her onto the large bed, inadvertently soaking the bedding.

Millie rose from her seat, her intentions focused on opening the door and heading to the hospital. Yet Marcus swiftly intervened, tugging her back with a sense of urgency.
“I’m going to the hospital,” she declared, her voice carrying a mix of exasperation and concern.
Marcus’ response echoed, “Can you calm down? My mom is not stupid. She wouldn’t just go to your grandma’s ward and hurt her!”
Millie’s skepticism remained apparent, and she continued, “You don’t think she did it?”
Marcus responded with conviction, “It can’t be her.” His tone held unwavering determination.
