Chapter 5
Chapter: 5 “I'm sorry, but... who are you? Do you mind if | ask you to introduce yourself to me?” Millie requested. Anger flashed across Rhea’s face. “You...”
“Enough, Millie!” With a murderous expression on his face, Marcus cracked his knuckles menacingly before pointing at a photo. “Are you the ugly woman in this photo?”
Ugly woman? Millie grimaced when she saw how red Marcus's knuckles had gotten. He must be really furious at her right now. “Yes, honey, that’s me in the photo, but how did you know what | look like? Have you seen me before?”
Suddenly, Marcus threw the photo, and it landed on the floor by Millie’s feet. He was so angry that he felt like he was going to explode soon. Was the woman deliberately trying to piss him off? Everything she did and said infuriated him.
Smiling, Millie said, “Honey, don’t be angry. | actually don’t look like this in real life. rm...”
Before she could reveal anything important, though, she stopped talking.
“Go on. Tell me what's different about you in the photo.” Marcus's eyes glinted for a second as though something had piqued his interest.
Could it be that her disfigurement was fake?
Millie crouched down to pick up the photo. She examined it for a while before raising her head to beam at Marcus. “Honey, actually, my face has been digitally enhanced to make me look somewhat presentable in this photo. The scar on my face is longer and more unsightly in real life. Do you know who took this photo?
Their photography skills are really good. Can you give me their contact information?”
Marcus's forehead began to show visible veins. Was the woman trying to mess with him? Additionally, the blatant way she addressed him as “honey” made him furious. Did she have no shame?
Meanwhile, Millie's eyes sparkled as she plotted new ways to infuriate him.
Inwardly, she snorted and berated Marcus and his family for summoning her just as she was about to fill her stomach and for acting high and mighty as they humiliated her. Whatever was giving them such an inflated sense of self-importance was beyond Millie.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Are you interested in how | really look? Do you want me to take my mask off and show you my real face? | can do that. | don’t mind at all. After all, | can’t hide my appearance from my husband and my in-laws forever.” As Millie spoke, she reached for the mask’s string. Rhea braced herself as she wondered how hideous the woman’s face was.
“stop! Go back to your room!” Finally, Marcus lost his temper. The woman was not only ugly, but she was also annoying. She was definitely provoking him.
“All right. I'll go now.” Millie then climbed the stairs nonchalantly, as if she had not just gotten a rise out of him.
Celeste sensed unease in her gut as she watched the woman leave. A sigh escaped her lips.
