Chapter: 20 What a jerk. Millie clutched the book even more tightly. She would never apologize to that woman.

Marcus waited for stime, but Millie never expressed any regret for what she did. In a huff, he stormed out and slammed the door shut behind him.

He grabbed the passing servant and instructed, “Keep an eye on this room. Don’t give her any food until | say so.” Inside the room, Millie was boiling with resentment. Marcus was completely insane. How could he forbid her from eating? This was abuse.

She put down the book and went to open the door. It was locked, as she had predicted. Millie rubbed her rumbling stomach and sighed, lamenting her bad luck.

She had only eaten once the day before, and now, she was forbidden to consany food. Enduring her anger, she grabbed her phone and dialled her grandmother’s number.

“Miss Brown, your grandmother is asleep. Would you liketo wake her up?”

Teresa, the caregiver she had hired for her grandmother, was the one who answered the phone. “It's fine. Let her sleep. How is Grandma, Teresa?”

Her grandmother, who had been stirred awake by the phone’s ringing, perked up when she heard Millie’s voice on the other end of the line. “Is that Millie? Lettalk to her.”

Teresa handed the phone to her.

Millie’s grandmother sounded worried as she said, “Millie, I’m fine here. Don’t worry too much about me. You recently got married into a large and strict family, right? How is it there? They're not mistreating you, are they?”

Her heart ached as she remembered the scar on her granddaughter’s face. The Thomas family might give her a hard time because of her disfigured face. An invisible hand squeezed Millie’s heart. Only her grandmother truly cared about her.

“{‘m doing well, Grandma. I’m not being mistreated here. The Thomases are very kind to me. Don’t worry about me, and focus on getting well as quickly as possible, all right?”

“Oh, thank goodness.” The two of them chatted for a while before Millie ended the call. She then removed her mask and returned to the table. She grabbed the cup of tea and drank from it. It seemed like it would be her only sustenance for now.

Meanwhile, at the Thomas Group headquarters, Marcus ended his meeting at lunchtand went back to his office, where his assistant was waiting for him with his sumptuous lunch.
