Chapter 59
She then made some changes to the magnolia-shaped brooch’s design before
sending it to the jeweller with a request to finish it as quickly as possible.
Since she was unable to make it due to her current situation, she had someone
else do it for her.
Next, Millie set about picking out an outfit to wear to Claudia’s birthday party.
After much deliberation, she settled on a dress in a lovely pastel purple with a
shade that was just right—not too dull, yet not too vibrant.
Unbeknownst to her, Bria was standing guard outside the bedroom as she did
some tidying up.
“Fuck,” Bria muttered. “What a shame to see such a lovely dress on someone
with a hideous face.”
Afterward, Millie went to the bathroom to take a shower. Her body reeked from
not having been washed since the day before. As she closed the door to the
bathroom, Bria pulled out a pair of scissors from her pocket. She took a quick
look around, tiptoed into the bedroom, and then stealthily snipped holes in the
dress.
Half an hour later, Millie emerged from the bathroom to find that the dress had
been hacked up with holes in it. Shocked, she stared at it for a while before she
grabbed the dress and ran her hands over the damaged area. Upon further
inspection, she concluded that it had been snipped with scissors. She frowned.
Who could be so vicious as to intentionally ruin her dress? Millie proceeded down
the hall, hoping to find some kind of clue, but she found nothing. The servants
were all busy doing their respective jobs. For now, it seemed there was no way to
find out who had destroyed her dress.
Empty-handed, Millie retumed to her room. Right then, Gemma entered the room
to water the flowers and gasped at the sight of the hacked dress.
“Oh, my God! What happened to the dress?” she asked with a horrified
expression on her face.
“Who's assigned to clean this area?” Millie asked. She had a suspicion that the
culprit for her ruined dress was the one in charge of cleaning her room.
Gemma thought for a while before replying, “It's Bria.”
Millie racked her brain, trying to recall who Bria was. She then remembered the
middle-aged, shrewd-looking woman who had brought her food before. Indeed, if
there was a servant who would be audacious enough to butcher her dress, it
would be Bria. Millie had no idea why she would do that, though, and she had no
evidence to back up her suspicion.
“It's definitely her. I'll call her here,” Gemma said.
Millie grabbed the servant's wrist to stop her and shook her head. “We have no
proof. She won't admit it.”
A few minutes later, Gemma left the room in a grumpy mood, while Millie began
to wonder how she was going to fix her ruined dress. She did not want to throw
away such a nice dress, especially since she had not wom it yet. When Millie
spotted the golden threads on the table, an idea occurred to her. The damaged
area of the dress could be concealed by embroidering a flower out of golden
thread and sewing it into the holes.

Immediately, Millie began working to
fix the dress. However, because the
fabric of the dress was very
expensive, any repairs needed to be
carried out with great care and
precision. Millie had been working on
the dress all day, but when Marcus
got home that night, it was still not
completely fixed. The content is on

When Marcus entered the room, he
saw Millie hunched over the table,
cradling a purple piece of fabric. He
approached her and discovered that
she was holding a ripped dress. He
scowled. The content is on

Marcus's tone was really impolite. He
had never seen clothes being
repaired before because he came
from an affluent household. The

“When I bought it, it was in great shape, but someone destroyed it,” Millie replied
before raising her head.
Someone destroyed it? He took another look at the dress. He could not think of
anyone in the house who would do that.
