You were born strong.”
The mention of the girl made Marcus’ eyes darken.
As if on cue, his phone rang. It was Millie.
“I've sent grandma back to her hometown. I'm on my way home now,” she
informed him.
Why hadn't Millie informed him earlier that she planned to return to her
hometown? He would have liked the opportunity to send her.
“Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”
“I meant to tell you this morning, but you left for the company early. I didn’t have

Sensing Harlan's eyes on his phone, Marcus rose and moved towards the
window.
“Be careful. I'll send someone to pick you up.”

Taking Millie's phone, Bruce stepped out of the car and walked a short distance
away.
“What do you want?” Marcus demanded, his voice sharp with concern.
“Marcus, you're too tense. I assure you, nothing will happen to Millie while she’s
with me,” Bruce replied, his tone light.
“If anything happens to Millie, you'll pay dearly,” Marcus warned, his words ice-
cold.

love Millie, don't you? I used to
admire you so much. You always
stood out in a crowd. But Millie has
been rumored to be an evil woman.
