Chapter: 91 He glanced at Millie who quickly shook her head. “Someone pushed me from behind and I...”
“Oh, just admit it and stop giving fake explanations. | saw what happened. You intentionally pushed Lara,” one woman said coldly, cutting off Millie.
Another one chimed in. “Yes, | saw it too, Mr. Yerkes. Millie pushed your daughter.”
Then, she looked at Millie and said condescendingly, “Millie, your status may have upgraded as Mrs. Thomas, but it has done nothing to help your character. You’ve become even more despicable and reckless.”
Millie looked at the two women in bewilderment. They didn’t even see anything, yet they blamed her for it. If she didn’t know what happened, she would have most probably believed them after listening to their convincing testimony.
Johnnie got more confident with the support of the women. “You see, Mr. Thomas. They saw it. Your wife did this to my daughter!”
Face livid, Marcus fixed Millie with a sharp gaze.
He was almost fooled. One moment, he was feeling an interesting connection to this woman, and the next, she just had to cause trouble.
“Can you tell me why you pushed her?” he asked in a deep voice, coming closer to her. Millie narrowed her eyes, glancing at the two women who just testified against her.
They stood at Rhea’s sides like bodyguards, triumphant smiles on their faces. Then, it clicked in Millie's mind. Rhea must be behind this.
Millie looked at Marcus and insisted, “Someone pushed me from behind. Then | lost my balance and stumbled into Lara. Nothing about this was intentional!”
One of the women with Rhea counteracted with disdain.
“What a shameless woman. We all saw you push Miss Yerkes. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to you as Mr. Thomas’ wife. You know what, | can go as far as saying | understand why you did it. You are just jealous of Lara because she is prettier than you. Heck, you are jealous of every girl in here because you are the only ugly one.”
Her little speech managed to convince the other guests who began to turn their noses up at Millie and criticize her.
“That’s right. Her terrible attitude is because she is jealous of everyone else who is more beautiful than her,” someone said loudly.
“Who would have thought that Mr. Thomas’ wife has such a nasty attitude? At least now we know we have to stay away from her,” another chimed in.
“Didn't you hear the rumours? Marcus was going to marry the gentle and pretty Mia, but Millie set a trap for her that broke off their engagement, and ended up taking her place. What a terrible person.”
And so it went, many people joined in criticizing Millie. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
