Bruce’s eyes widened suddenly. While there appeared to be no Link between Harlan and Marcus, therewas an underlying camaraderie between them.

“Sir Bruce, Master Jonah’s condition is severe.”

The bodyguard expressed his concern about Jonah’s chances of recovery.

Bruce wiped his face and dialed Marcus’ number.

He had ensured Millie’s safety. So, why hadn’t Marcus spared his father?

His cruelty was unbearable.

As soon as the call connected, Bruce got straight to the point.

“I’ve safely returned Millie to you.”

“Jonah isn’t dead. He’s merely wounded.”

Marcus’ tone remained composed.

Bruce felt a sense of helplessness.

Glancing at the operating room’s closed door, he closed his eyes and stated, “Marcus, you’reheartless.”

“I’m well aware of your actions against me. Compared to you, my actions are relatively merciful.”

In an instant, Bruce was rendered speechless. It was true, they were the ones who initiated theassassination attempts against Marcus first.

Later that night, Millie awoke to the sound of voices and opened her eyes in a daze.

“Honey, it’s pretty late. Who’s calling you?”

Marcus set down his phone, wrapped his arm around Millie’s waist, and said, “Don’t worry about it. Justgo back to sleep.”

The next morning, Millie headed to work at the Thomas Group.

As she entered the office, the curious glances of her colleagues met her. She walked confidently to herseat and settled down.
