Chapter 89
Chapter: 89
Millie pursed her lips. It was useless for Bruce to cover up for his cousin and hide
the truth when Marcus already admitted everything to her. It was impossible that
this pregnant woman would attend the banquet when the Thomas family didn't
know about her relationship with Marcus.
“Bruce, there's no need pretending anymore. I know everything. She is Marcus’
mistress, right? She is carrying his child. So yes, the child is your nephew.”
Bruce's mouth dropped open in disbelief. He was even more shocked by the
conviction in Millie's words.
“Where the hell did you hear such? That woman is not Marcus’ mistress, and the
child is definitely not Marcus’. Her name is Rylie, the wife of a very close friend of
Marcus, Vincent. Vincent was from the powerful Faulkner family. The family went
bankrupt four months ago and landed Vincent in jail. Before going, he asked
Marcus to take care of his wife and child. If you spread this type of rumour and it
reaches Vincent who is in jail, I can’t imagine how he would react to it.”
Millie’s mouth equally dropped open, but only for a second.
It was her turn to be stunned.
“You mean... That woman right there, is only the wife of Marcus’ friend?”
“That's exactly what I mean. They are childhood best friends. Marcus has his
flaws as we both know, but he wouldn't do anything reckless, much less to his
friend. If it can reassure you, Rylie got pregnant before Vincent went to jail.”
Bruce answered her patiently.
Millie closed her eyes for a moment, unable to think.
Unconsciously, her eyes darted towards the balcony just as Marcus stepped back
into the hall. He looked her way coincidentally and gave her a cunning smile, that
evil glint in his eyes sharp from across the hall.
Millie gritted her teeth and clenched her fists in anger as she understood. The
crazy man had played her for a fool.
In the distance, Rhea took a resentful bite of the juicy piece of beef on her fork.
She sent Millie to the balcony earlier, hoping she would make a scene. But she
waited, and nothing happened.
She was certain that Millie would think Rylie Lambert was carrying Marcus’ child,
and would create a scene.
Rhea didn’t know what went down, but she was angry that it didn’t work out as
she had planned. ©
After pushing the piece of beef down her throat, she saw Bruce and Millie getting
up and walking through the banquet hall. They seemed to be headed for the
garden.

Rhea dropped her fork and followed
after them. Midway across the hall, a
woman was walking by in front of
Millie. Rhea looked around, and after
seeing that no one was paying any
attention to her, she pushed Millie on
the back and got lost in the crowd.
