FULL NOVELXO Chapter 110
Marcus watched as Millie's lips twisted in apparent dissatisfaction. The woman
did not seem proud of her physical attractiveness. She even scowled
disapprovingly at him, as if the exposure of her real face was his fault. Marcus
could not help but wonder why she deliberately disguised her beauty.
“What are you still standing there for? Take Millie to one of the spare rooms so
that she can change her dress.”
Soon, Millie was changing her dress in a previously empty room.
Celeste looked her up and down. If Millie did not come from a poor background,
she and her son would be a perfect match.
Celeste felt like she had ridden a roller coaster that night. Earlier, she nearly
passed out from rage when she spotted Millie at the party, despite having
forbidden her to come. Then, she saw her daughter-in-law’s real face, and now,
she did not know how to feel about Millie.
Rhea pushed the door open and called, “Mrs. Thomas.”
She clenched her teeth, feeling worried and furious at the same time. Celeste’s
reaction after seeing Millie's face scared her.
The prospect of the older woman siding with Millie in the future worried her.
“Mrs. Thomas, I think your dress got wet too. Let me help you dry it.”
Rhea, holding a handkerchief, dabbed at Celeste’s dress just enough to reveal
the blood smear on her wrist.
“What happened to your wrist?” Celeste asked worriedly as she grabbed Rhea’s
hand to examine her wrist.
“I'm fine. Millie accidentally scratched me with her fingernails when I tried to pull
her up before she fell into the water. Don’t worry; this won't happen again. I know
Millie hates me, so I'll stay away from her as much as I can from now on.”
Millie scoffed and rolled her eyes. Rhea was really good at lying.
She raised her hands and showed them her trimmed fingernails.
“That doesn’t make sense at all. My nails aren’t long enough to hurt you.”
Celeste examined Millie's fingernails. Indeed, they were cut short. She could not
have scratched Rhea as badly as she claimed with those fingernails.
Caught off guard, Rhea’s face went completely white.

“Oh. It seems that I forgot what really
happened to my wrist. I'm sorry, Mrs.
Thomas. I'll leave you two alone to
treat this scratch. Anyway, I think
Millie is very lovely. She and Marcus
make a wonderful couple. She's even
more beautiful than my sister.” The

She grasped Rhea’s hand again.
“T’ll treat your wound. Let's clean it first, so it won't get infected.”
