Chapter: 170
“Let's go under that tree. It’s too hot here. I’ve been eyeing a new beauty product that’s just hit the shelves. | can’t wait to buy it.” Millie looked around and noticed that everyone was wearing protective clothing to avoid sunbum.
No one seemed to be interested in picking oranges at all, as all of them were too busy chatting or playing on their phones. When Millie recalled how many welfare homes Preagend had, she grimaced.
“You cfrom a lowly background, right? That's why you pick oranges so diligently. | heard Gianna and Mia were picking on you all the time. You must have never seen oranges this nice before.” Rhea approached her again. She was wearing a large sunhat to protect herself from the sun.

“You're the wicked one here. Don’t think that I’ve forgotten how you tricked Marcus into marrying you. All | did was keep a horrible woman like you away from him.”
It seemed like Rhea’s words were not enough to vent her anger because she plucked an orange from a tree and hurled it into a nearby ditch.
Millie gaped at her. She threw away a perfectly good orange. What a waste!
After recovering from the shock, she proceeded to ignore Rhea. She knew that the woman would get angrier if she did so. As expected, Millie’s lack of response only served to infuriate Rhea further.
“| saw you flirt with another man earlier. You really are a bitch.”
Millie cast Rhea an apathetic glance before bending down to gather more oranges.
She was aware that the other woman was talking about Patrick, but she remained silent.
The sun had reached its zenith. Millie was too worn out by the heat to argue with Rhea.
“Fine, be that way. Let's see how long you can ignore me.” With that, Rhea tumed around and ran to Patrick.

Patrick tumed around to see Rhea approaching him and grimaced. He had not spoken to the woman, but he already disliked her for her aggressive behaviour.
“Is there anything | can do for you?”
In response, Rhea pointed in Millie’s direction.
“You like Millie, right? | saw you talking to her earlier.”
Patrick’s gaze dropped when his heart started racing at Rhea’s words.
