Instinctively, she protected her head and spun around, fixing her gaze on the instigator. Rhea crossed her arms over her chest, her words seething. “Millie, you’re as good as dead.”
Rhea had been simmering with rage all morning. She had woken up to find Marcus sneaking away from Millie’s room. It didn’t take a genius to realize that Marcus had spent the night in Millie’s chamber.
Undoubtedly, Millie had concocted some seductive plan to lure Marcus into her web.
Upon checking her hand, Millie noticed a damp, bloody mark. A spark of fury ignited within her eyes, her steps heavy with resolve as she strode towards Rhea.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“You've sealed your fate!” Rhea shot a quick glance behind Millie and saw Marcus approaching after his meeting.
Determined to exploit this opportunity to expose Millie’s malevolent side, Rhea immediately cried out, “Millie, what do you intend to do? Stay back...”
Millie, inflamed with rage, paid no heed to Rhea’s wails. In a few swift strides, she lunged at Rhea, kicking her into the lake. “Al” An involuntary gasp tore from Rhea’s throat, followed by the unmistakable splash of a body hitting water.
Not far away, Marcus froze mid-stride, his eyes wide with surprise and a hint of dread. He had just borne witness to Millie’s unprovoked assault on Rhea.
Millie observed Rhea submerged in the water, lacking any remorse. Her heart remained ablaze with fury, and today she possessed an unwavering resolve to exact vengeance.
“Help, help me...” Rhea called out desperately in her struggle.
“Millie!” A livid bellow echoed from behind Millie.
Millie spun around and found a seething Marcus. She froze in disbelief. Wasn’t he supposed to be at a conference?

Millie swiveled back around, distinctly recalling that when she had pushed Rhea into the water, she saw Rhea thrash about and swim a few strokes. However, now Rhea seemed entirely incapable of swimming.
An instant realization washed over Millie. Naturally, Rhea wouldn’t let this chance slip to play the damsel in distress.
Marcus hurried over, barking at Millie, “You pushed her into the water; now rush and pull her out!”
Marcus had initially harbored some guilt towards Millie due to the previous night's events. Yet, seeing Millie shove Rhea into the water, his sympathies evaporated completely.
Feeling berated, Millie flared up and retorted, “If you’re so keen on saving her, do it yourself. | deliberately pushed her in; why would | rescue her now? Do you think I’m insane?”
