Chapter 111

“Thank you.”

Millie’s neck loosened up once Rhea and Celeste left. Rhea had said something about her sister. She wondered who the woman

was talking about.

After some thought, she shrugged and reached for her phone to call the makeup artist.

Marcus walked in and heard Millie scolding someone over the phone in a low voice.

“| paid you ten thousand for a waterproof scar, not something that can be rubbed off without any effort. You even claimed that

there was only one particular potion that could remove it. What do | do now that water has washed it away?”

After a pause, she whisper-shouted into the phone, “What do you mean by you'll give me back my money? That's not the issue

here!”

Millie paced back and forth in the room, her anger rising by the second.

The man had played her for a fool. She was so frustrated now. Even the lollipop in her mouth that was sweet moments ago had

lost its sweetness.

Millie paused upon hearing footsteps coming her way and immediately hung up.

The next second, Marcus walked in and stared at Millie in disbelief. All this while, she had been pretending to be ugly? Slowly, he

walked towards her, looming over her with his tall frame.

Millie instinctively stepped back, her phone clutched tightly in her hand.

“What do you want?” Millie’s voice was shaky.

She stepped back until her back hit the wall, leaving her no room to escape. With an intense look on her face, Marcus reached

out and touched her face, staring intently at the spot where a scar used to be. It was so smooth and flawless, just like the rest of

her skin.

Millie winced when he pressed too hard on her face. She tried to swat his hand away but to no avail.

“shh... Don’t move. Let me have a good look at my naturally beautiful wife,” Marcus whispered, totally unfazed by her attempts to

Since she couldn’t get rid of his hand, Millie turned her face away. Just then, a rather loud and disturbing sound came from the

next room.

“Ah. Mr. Barrett, you’re hurting me!” The woman's words were followed by a moan.

It took a moment for Millie to figure out what was happening. When she did, her face turned red in embarrassment.

She looked back at Marcus and whispered, “Let’s get out of here quickly. We can’t be here while they’re...”

Instead, Marcus placed his hand on the wall, just above Millie’s head, trapping her between his body and the wall. Slowly, he let

his eyes travel down her body.

“What are you doing? Don’t tell me you want to listen to them going at it!” Millie said more insistently, her face burning up.

As if it wasn’t enough, the couple in the next room spoke again.
