Chapter 72
Chapter: 72
“Millie, watch your attitude! I'm here.” Hands on her hips, Gianna vented her
annoyance.
“What's the matter?”
Millie shot a cursory glance at Gianna and responded in a disinterested tone.
She didn’t think anything good could come from this visit. Millie’s mind was
preoccupied with thoughts of how to navigate the upcoming birthday party.
Gianna was taken aback by Millie’s cold reception. “Mind your tone. Who gave
you the right to act as the hostess of the Thomas family?” Gianna retorted. “Don’t
forget, you were discarded by the Brown family. Your standing here with the
Thomases isn't much better.”
Shocked and irate at Millie's detached demeanor, Gianna couldn't believe Millie
had looked down on her.
“Are you done? If so, you may leave.”
“Unbelievable! Do you want me to leave? Don't forget, your marriage to Marcus
only happened because of my intervention. Without me, he would've ended up
with Mia, not a bitch like you!” Gianna had always disliked Millie, and her
resentment deepened when she discovered that the man Millie married wasn’t
actually disabled. Despite all her calculated machinations, she had reaped no
benefits for herself.
Upon hearing the news that Marcus wasn’t disabled, she was so enraged that
she fainted. The idea of her giving a vast fortune to Millie, someone she
considered inferior, was a reality she found hard to swallow.
“Why are you two just standing there? Escort her out!” Millie gestured
dismissively at the two bodyguards and ordered.
The bodyguards stepped forward, positioning themselves in front of Gianna.
“Please follow us. If you refuse, we'll have to use force.”
“Millie, are you seriously kicking me out? I...”
Before she could finish, the bodyguards had grabbed Gianna’s wrists, pulling her
towards the exit.
Understanding she was at a disadvantage, Gianna felt her face flush with
embarrassment. This woman, sheltered under Marcus’ protection, treated her like
a criminal, dictating commands. Yet, Gianna reassessed the situation and
managed a smile. Things were indeed different now.
“I visited you because Claudia Thomas is hosting a birthday party today. Would
you spare two invitations? I would like to bring Mia to the party,” Gianna
requested.
Considering Gianna’s ambitions to mingle with the elite, her request for
invitations wasn't surprising. However, Millie couldn't confess that she was
uncertain about how to secure the invitations herself.
“Invitations for the party were distributed quite some time ago. You ought to
realize that such functions don't wait until the last minute to send out invites,”
Millie retorted.

With that, Millie stood up swiftly and dashed upstairs, eager to avoid any further
interaction with Gianna.
Gianna tried to follow, but the path was obstructed by the two bodyguards.
