Chapter 1131
“You’re right. He’s not like us. We could be replaced tomorrow.”
Their candid conversation made Millie blush, leaving her unsure how to respond.
Her decision to donate the money was rooted in Marcus’ apparent indifference to the amount. Since it wasn’t her earnings, holding onto it seemed less meaningful. Besides, watching Marcus speed down the track earlier had sent her heart into a frenzy.
Winning the money wasn’t her priority. Her only wish was for Marcus to cross the finish line safely.
Thus, she resolved to donate the entire sum, channeling it toward greater societal good.
Unable to tolerate the throng of admirers surrounding Millie, treating her like a celebrity, Nancy’s patience wore thin. She had lost her dignity, yet Millie stood triumphant. This was something she couldn’t accept!
Nancy approached and issued a biting rebuke. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Plagiarist!”
“Plagiarist? What’s that?” someone wondered aloud.
“Have any of you read the news?” Nancy put on a fake smile as she glanced at the crowd.
“I have. Are you talking about the Swan Kiss? The Thomas Group claims she designed it, but D.S. Company released it first. They’re embroiled in a legal battle.”

“So, did she really steal the design of the Swan Kiss?”
An individual spoke up, albeit mindful of Millie’s status.
“Let’s not jump to conclusions. We don’t have all the facts. Watch what you say.”
Amidst the ongoing chatter, Millie’s thoughts raced incessantly.
In a matter of seconds, Nancy had effectively stirred the pot.
“Who’s being accused of plagiarism?” Millie retorted, her irritation evident.
Nancy swept her hand through her hair and delivered her words with a veneer of eloquence.
“The plagiarist still dares to deny it? You truly have an unmatched audacity. You don’t need to envy her, she’s nothing more than Marcus‘ pet. Little parades only good, He her around when he’s in a mood.
How she managed to marry Marcus is an open secret. Her favorite act is playing the innocent and attracting the protective instincts of men.”
Faced with unfounded allegations, Millie had a powerful urge to snatch a wad of cash from the basket and smack Nancy’s face with it, just to shut her malicious mouth.
“As for the truth about the plagiarism incident, it will come to Light soon enough. And speaking of acting innocent, aren’t you the one acting prim and proper? You’re only revealing your own sordid intentions,” Millie fired back.
“The one with sordid intentions is you!” Nancy seized a bundle of money from the basket and flung it at Millie menacingly.
“Don’t act so innocent. Deep down, you’re probably desperate for this money. Your deliberate donation is just a way to flaunt your supposed superiority. Millie, you sicken me,” Nancy sneered maliciously.
