“Not bad? She can’t possibly be my daughter-in-law if she’s not bad. She’s the most shameless woman I’ve ever encountered.”
Her grandmother’s face seemed to be furrowing into a knot. “What do you mean?”
“Stop pretending you don’t know. As her grandmother, you must be aware of her true nature. Originally, Marcus was meant to marry Mia. It was Millie who schemed to drug the Brown family and take Mia’s place.”

She staunchly believed that Millie was incapable of drugging the Brown family.
“Well, you don’t believe me, do you?” Celeste shook her head.
Following this unpleasant exchange, Celeste took her leave.
Little did she anticipate that right after her departure, Rhea, disguised as a nurse, would enter the ward and shut the door behind her.
Shortly after, crashing noises emanated from within, yet the sounds remained muffled outside. Soon after, Rhea emerged, clutching her aching chest, and hurriedly exited the hospital. She had intended to have someone else do the deed, but she didn’t trust their competence.
While Millie was at the market buying groceries, she received an urgent call from
Teresa.
“Miss Brown, hurry over to the hospital. Your grandmother fell from the bed and is in a coma. They’re trying to resuscitate her.”
“What! I’m on my way.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon arrival, Millie found her grandmother being wheeled out of the emergency room and into the ICU. She didn’t get to see her face up close, as her grandmother was already enveloped by a flurry of medical equipment and tubes. The monitors beeped incessantly, heightening Millie’s anxiety.
“Miss Brown, you’re here at last. The doctor mentioned that your grandmother sustained multiple fractures and head trauma, and her condition has rapidly deteriorated.”
“Teresa, what caused Grandma to fall?”
“It’s all my fault. I didn’t provide adequate care for your grandmother. This morning, Mrs. Thomas visited your grandmother’s room. I thought it was inappropriate forto eavesdrop on their conversation, so I stepped out briefly. But to my shock, when I returned, your grandmother was on the floor in a coma.”
The bodyguard responsible for safeguarding her grandmother lowered his head, ridden with guilt. “I’m sorry. It’s my responsibility.”
Upon learning that the woman inside was Millie’s mother-in-law, he went to the stairwell to smoke, inadvertently setting off a major catastrophe.
Millie was stunned. “Mrs. Thomas? My mother-in-law?”
Teresa nodded solemnly. “Yes, she claimed to be. When I left, your grandmother was fine. When I returned, Mrs. Thomas was gone, and your grandmother was unconscious on the floor, with numerous fractures and bruises.”
