Chapter 76
Chapter: 76
“Can I link arms with you?”
Every man who showed up to the party was accompanied by a woman. It was a
kind of etiquette for them to go arm-in-arm as a pair.
Marcus looked away from Millie for a second, then back at her. She interpreted
his silence as his approval and reached out an arm to link with his.
The two walked forward, side by side and in perfect unison, making for a lovely
sight.
“Why are you so adamant about attending Grandma's birthday party? Is there
buried treasure here that you want to dig up? How were you planning to go in if I
hadn't come?”
Millie shrugged nonchalantly.
“I would've found someone else to go in with me if you hadn't come. How's that
even a question? Well, there was no way you wouldn't attend her birthday
celebration. You'd get criticized.”
Marcus's eyes glinted sharply and disapprovingly. She not only suggested he
was an unfilial grandchild, but she also considered bringing another date to the
party. The nerve of the woman!
“Once we're inside, go and sit somewhere quiet to wait out the party. Don’t
wander around,” Marcus instructed sternly.
Millie pouted.
“No way. I didn’t come here to sit in a quiet corner.”
As soon as those words left Millie's lips, she felt Marcus's body stiffen. He also
stopped walking.
Marcus would have pushed her back into the car right now if they had not already
reached the entrance of the venue. Even before entry, she was already being so
defiant and against him. The woman was going too far.
They entered the lively dining hall and saw Claudia, who looked resplendent in
her red gown, seated in a chair amid a throng of guests.
Marcus was about to withdraw his arm and put some space between himself and
Millie, but she beat him to it and pulled away from him first. She blinked her
beautiful eyes and cast a quick glance around the dining hall. The whole place
was so lavishly decorated that she could almost smell the scent of money in the
air.
For a brief second, Marcus was stunned. It seemed the woman had no intention
of remaining his companion at all.
“That's Marcus and his wife, right? Come here, you two.”
