Chapter: 467

After staring at Millie for another long second, Claudia nodded.

“Mn that case, I’m glad. But if he does something out of place that you don’t like, let me know and I'll help you out.”

Millie smiled softly. How could she not feel touched when Mrs. Thomas was being so protective of her. She poured a cup of

fragrant tea and gave it to her.

“Try this, grandma.”

Claudia complied and took a sip of the tea.

She loved Millie very much. She was confident that Millie was smart enough to support Marcus in the future.

She knew that the young girl was chaste. The rumors that were spreading about her were just rumors. None of them held any

ground. Claudia was good at reading people and what she saw in Millie's eyes was sincerity and virtue.

“It tastes really good. Why don’t you take two cups to those women in the living room?” the old woman said, looking in the

direction of the living room. Madison and Celeste sat in a silent battle, their eyes doing all the talking their mouths couldn't.

Millie felt good about Claudia’s praise and immediately poured two cups of tea for the women.

The tense atmosphere hit Millie as she entered the living room with a tray.

Madison raised her voice. “Celeste, | heard you rarely go out for afternoon tea anymore. Is it because those women constantly

gossip about your ugly daughter-in-law, Millie? Now you can’t even enjoy a mundane afternoon tea. In any case, | guess

congratulations are in order for you having a wonderful daughter-in-law.”

Millie froze as she heard this, the tea almost spilling from the cups. She clenched her teeth in anger. She still couldn’t figure out

why Madison hated her so much. She had never done anything to offend the woman before.

“Ugly?” Celeste retorted proudly. “You must be losing your eyesight with age. In fact, | think you're blind. If you think Millie is ugly,

then | guess no woman in this world is beautiful to you.”

Millie blinked in surprise as she heard this. It sounded like Celeste was defending her.

In truth, Celeste did appreciate Millie's appearance.

Madison gritted her teeth and desperately racked her brain for a witty comeback.

“Oh, that’s right. It slipped my mind. Millie had become beautiful. It’s just so difficult to take note of that when she still has the

same nasty reputation. Marcus really did the Thomas family and Group dirty by marrying her. | once heard that you were the one

who chose her out of the thousands of women that were willing to be your son’s wife.”

Millie rubbed her chest slowly, trying to slow her racing heart. Why could Madison not just shut up? Even if she had a bad

attitude, she had never done anything to wrong the woman.

Celeste clenched her fists and attacked Madison right back.

“What about Leon? When will he get married? | was really shocked when | heard about Lois’ suicide attempt. He sure knows

how to break a woman's heart. It makes me think of his father, you know? Maybe he intends to harm Lois just like Brock did with

you. Perhaps he just doesn’t want to marry Lois. Do you think he has another woman?”

Madison's face turned pale at this.

Indeed, Brock had hurt her a lot. He had so many love affairs that she ended up taking an overdose of sleeping pills, almost

killing herself.
