Chapter 105
“Marcus, Millie didn’t fall. She jumped into the water after she said something to me,” Rhea said in a loud voice as she approached Marcus.
Marcus's frown deepened. “What did she say?”
“Earlier, she went to my room to provoke me. She told me that the Thomas family was hers, so | should stay out of it in the future. She accused me of currying favor with your mother and wanting to steal what belonged to her before telling me to leave, or she would kill me. She also said...”
Rhea paused for dramatic effect as she feigned a haunted look on her face. “What else did she say?” Marcus hissed. ©
“She said you were madly in love with her. | didn’t believe her, so she said she’d jump in the pond to prove that you'd be the first to come to her rescue. She didn’t fall at all; she jumped into the water.”
Marcus's fists tightened as he considered what he should do next.
“Do you swear that every word you've said is true?”
Rhea nodded and raised her hand.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“| swear I’m not lying.”
Marcus's face darkened even more.
Meanwhile, the other guests started whispering among themselves.
“Is what Miss Evans said true? If yes, then Millie is the worst. It turns out that she has her eyes on the Thomas family’s fortunes.
“Of course, it’s true. You know what she did. She pretended to be Mia in order to marry into the Thomas family. She’s a very cunning woman.”
Everyone heard what Rhea had just said. The guards who were supposed to save Millie halted short of the pond’s edge. Without Marcus's instructions, they would never risk saving such a ruthless woman.
“Why isn’t she resurfacing? Can’t she swim?”
“The pond is quite deep. If she can’t swim, she'll definitely drown.”
Suddenly, uncertainty was heard in the chatter.
Acouple of minutes passed, and the person who had fallen into the water had yet to resurface. Marcus's lips pressed together. He clenched his teeth and reached for his wrist to remove his watch.
If Millie could not really swim and he did not save her, she would undoubtedly drown.
When she noticed that Marcus was about to dive into the water, Rhea hurriedly grabbed his arm to stop him.
