Chapter 1168
“Kindly, let’s regain composure. We yet have another designer’s creations to showcase. Let’s warmly welcome Nancy, the designer, as she introduces her works.”
Nancy, seated among the audience, had turned pallid, her quivering lips betraying her emotional turmoil. Under her dress, the force of her pinching had left her thighs bruised.
The revelation of Millie as the Sky Heart’s creator was driving Nancy to the brink of madness. Why did it have to be Millie?
This unveiling explained the brilliance behind Millie’s previous works-Light in the Dark and Swan Kiss. Her inexperience was a mere facade; she ranked among the industry’s top-tier designers.
Nancy finally comprehended the meaning behind Millie’s earlier words, “I’ll go on stage first; don’t blame me for stealing your Limelight.”
The Sky Heart’s luminous presence had seized the spotlight, rendering the display of her own works futile; they were inevitably overshadowed.
Absorbed in her thoughts, Nancy remained stationary for an extended interval.
The host’s patient prompt roused her.
“Designer Nancy?”
With a start, Nancy refocused, her hesitant footsteps leading her onto the stage. The outcome was apparent, even without words.

“Hello, esteemed guests, I’m Nancy. The piece I present today is titled ‘Starry Night’. The resplendent stars adorning the nocturnal sky served as my muse for this creation.”
As expected, while Nancy introduced her work on stage, few in the audience paid heed.
The conversations predominantly revolved around the Sky Heart’s revelation.
As Nancy concluded her presentation, the applause was lackluster at best. She pressed her lips together tightly, her hands trembling slightly as she made her way off the stage.
Despite the undeniable excellence of her work, it had been utterly eclipsed by the radiant presence of the Sky Heart.
Millie’s phone chimed, capturing her attention. Retrieving her phone, she discovered a message from Marcus.
Millie’s phone chimed, and she swiftly glanced at the screen to read a message.
“Honey, did you deceive me? Were you pretending to be so vulnerable this morning?”
A chuckle escaped Millie’s lips as she read the message. Recollecting the morning scene when Marcus had gone to great lengths to console her, she found it quite amusing. For a man of his typically commanding demeanor, such efforts were indeed out of character.
Suppressing her laughter, Millie decided to play along and chose not to respond.
After a brief moment, another message popped up.
“You fooled me, and now you’re ignoring me? Wait until the event is over,” he replied firmly. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Even through the text, the irritation in Marcus’s words was palpable.
To defuse the situation, Millie finally replied, “What do you intend to do? If you dare to punish me, I’ll rescind my decision to be your wife.”
