Chapter 192
“Impossible,” Millie snapped back. Her morning had already soured, and Rhea’s setup only added fuel to the fire.
Rhea had manipulated things during Claudia’s birthday party, and Millie hadn’t exacted her revenge yet. Today, she was resolved to retaliate.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She felt that pushing Rhea into the lake was still too gentle a punishment. Marcus turned his back to Millie, his fists tightening on his sides, his anger blazing.
He found this audacious and rebellious woman utterly uncontrollable. At times, he was even inexplicably drawn to her. He must be under some kind of charm or spell.
Abruptly, he spun around and grasped Millie by the throat. “One more time, save her now. Or I'll strangle you.” “Ahem, ahem!”
Millie felt Marcus’ rage, his grip growing tighter. Gasping for air, she stood her ground, responding defiantly, “I will not save her! Even if it kills me, | won’t save that wicked woman. You better choke me now, because if you don't, | will seek my vengeance. | won't just kill her; I'll kill you too, you colossal fool!”
Marcus felt his brain buzzing. Millie had the audacity to talk about revenge and his death! He lost his temper, his eyes gleaming with malice, and his grip tightened further. “You? You're grossly overestimating yourself,” Marcus sneered icily.
“| would gnaw you to death if | could. I'll wait for you to go to sleep and chew your throat off. If you’re brave enough, strangle me right now!”
“Millie Brown!” In a fit of rage, he tightened his hold, but almost instantly, he let go and flung Millie aside.
He understood that if he didn’t release her, Millie would indeed be throttled to death.
Battling his anger, Marcus cast a glance at Rhea, who was struggling frantically in the lake. Her head was almost entirely submerged. Marcus issued a frosty order.
“Derek, go and retrieve her from the lake.”
Without hesitation, Derek dove in and saved Rhea. Once on shore, Rhea staggered towards Marcus, clutching her arms and shaking from the chill. She broke into a fit of coughing, sounding feeble and vulnerable.
“Marcus, | was terrified. How could she be so heartless? | did nothing to provoke her. She just charged at me and shoved me into the lake. | can’t swim. If it wasn’t for you all, | might not have made it.”
In private, Rhea hadn't expected Marcus to delegate her rescue. It was a wake-up call for her, realizing she held no importance in Marcus’ life.
Witnessing Rhea gasping for air, Marcus shot Millie a venomous glare, his fists balled up tight, veins prominent.
