Chapter: 30 Just let me know.”
Rhea’s heart skipped excitedly when he said this. She was ready to jump at the chance to ask for something she had long dreamt of. Before she could express herself, she held it back in. She had to remain in his good graces.
“You don’t have to, Marcus. | mean, it’s my job to protect Claudia when she needs protecting. Besides, | can be discharged now. You heard the doctor. My injury is minor. I’ll be more useful taking care of Claudia,” Rhea said, trying to get off the bed.
Marcus made her stay in place and said, “Grandma is fine. You should take care of your injury. | need to go to work. Call the doctor if you need anything.
“Okay, sure,” Rhea said obediently.
Out of Rhea’s room, Marcus almost bumped into Millie who was passing by.
Millie’s brows creased as she looked at him with question.
“What are you doing here?”
Millie frowned when Marcus asked her that question.
That was exactly what she wanted to ask. Just then, a clear female voice came from the room behind Marcus. “Marcus, is Miss Brown here?”
Millie’s eyes moved to the delicate-looking Rhea behind Marcus, then looked at Marcus’ scrutinizing gaze with a snort. )h, please, don’t look at me like that. Don’t worry, | didn’t follow you here.”
“| hope so. Rhea got hurt. So you'd better put behind whatever malicious thoughts you were nurturing at the back of your mind. | detest women who always have something up their sleeve.”
“Of course you do,” Millie replied sarcastically. “But don’t flatter yourself. Why would put my energy into harming someone that hasn't done anything to me? It’s quite unfortunate that | had to run into you guys.”
With that, Millie squared her shoulders and walked towards her grandma’s hospital room.
Marcus watched her go, his face livid. How dared she talk to them like that?
With a dismissive grunt, he also left.
Rhea clenched her teeth behind, took out her phone and sent a message to a number.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“You did a great job last night, I'll transfer the money to your account.” ©
That was just about right. Rhea orchestrated the incident they had on the road. All this to gain Claudia’s favour.
Claudia really disliked her. She hated her more than anyone else in the Thomas family.
