“You know what? He’s so kind to me. He told me I was the most beautiful woman in the world.”

Millie crossed her arms, unimpressed.

“The most beautiful? I know he has poor taste, but don’t you know yourself?”

“Anyway, I’m more beautiful than you,” Mavis snapped.

“Aren’t you jealous? He bought me a big house. What did he buy for you?”

Millie realized that letting her anger consume her was only punishing herself. She needed to remain calm and avoid sinking to Mavis’ level.

“Nothing. Just one billion dollars.”

Mavis’ eyes widened in disbelief.

“What? He gave you one billion? No, I don’t believe it.”

Millie calmly poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip.

“But he loves me,” Mavis insisted, a hint of desperation in her voice.

“I don’t know whether he loves you or not,” Millie replied, her voice steady.

“But he does give me CPR before sleeping every day.”

“CPR?”

After a moment, Mavis grasped Millie’s meaning, and her face flushed with embarrassment and anger. Harlan had never kissed her, though she had tried to steal a kiss from him.

“Well, you just flaunt how good he is to you. I’m different from you.

I genuinely love him. One day, he’ll be touched by my devotion and love only me.”

Millie raised an eyebrow and said coolly, “What a coincidence. I truly love him too.”

“You? I can cook for him. Can you?” Mavis shot back, her opinion of Millie clear: a materialistic girl who had tricked Harlan out of one billion dollars.

Millie shrugged and remarked, “I can do that too. It’s not difficult.”

“Then I can sacrifice my slim figure to bear his child.”

Narrowing her eyes, Millie declared, “Beyond giving birth, I could die for him.”

“Millie.”

At the sound of the familiar voice, Millie slowly looked up. Marcus and Harlan were standing on the second floor, gazing down at them.
