Chapter 247 

Upon hearing these words, Millie’s face alternated between shades of pale and red. 

She bit her lip without saying a word. 

Mr. Parker seemed to realize something and slammed the coffee table in anger. “Speak! Cat got your tongue?” 

Hearing her father’s furious roar, Millie jolted and paled further. “I… I…” 

“Millie, tell us the truth. Is the online loan real or not?” Mrs. Parker still thought it was a scam. 

Unable to meet her parents‘ eyes, Millie could only nod. 

Mrs. Parker’s body swayed and she collapsed onto the couch, clutching her chest. “It’s over. It’s over.” 

Furious, Mr. Parker grabbed the teacup from the table and hurled it at Millie. “Have you gone mad? What do you need 140 thousand dollars for?” 

Millie’s knees were struck, and she fell on the floor in pain. She held onto the coffee table as she looked at her parents. “This is an early investment. It’s necessary!” 

“What are you investing in?” Mr. Parker asked. 

“Myself. Otherwise, how can I match up to Jackson’s family when I come from a background like this? I must have money. Only then will Jackson like me,” Millie said seriously. 

Her parents were stunned by her words. 

Mr. Parker pointed at her. “You did all that for a man? If his family is wealthy and looks down on you, what makes you think you can marry him? 

“Now you’re deeply in debt, and you still hope to marry into a wealthy family? He has to be blind to agree to that. Take a look at yourself first. I’ll disown you!” 

Seeing the situation, Mrs. Parker hurriedly stepped forward to hold him back. “Don’t hit her.” 

Millie chuckled coldly. “You want to hit me? Isn’t this what you wanted? 

You arranged for people to introduce me to wealthy suitors because my cousin married a small business owner, and you were envious. As a result, I almost got assaulted on that blind date! 

Now I’ve found a wealthy second–generation man on my own. He loves me, and I love him. What’s wrong with that?” 

“Millie! Stop talking,” Mrs. Parker cried. “He loves you? If he loves you, why did he allow you to borrow money? Why didn’t he come to our house to introduce himself officially? This man is just toying with you! Don’t be so stubborn!” 

“No!” Millie stood up from the floor and glared at Mrs. Parker. “Is it because of Aurelia and what she told you? She can’t stand to see me happy now! 

Chapter 247 

“If she hadn’t seduced Jackson, I would’ve been married to him long ago! It’s all her fault that I’ve been embarrassed in front of my colleagues and Jackson!” 

“Millie!” 

“Just wait and see. I will definitely marry Jackson!” Millie vowed and stormed out without looking back. 

Mr. Parker couldn’t catch his breath and clutched his chest as he collapsed. 

“Darling! Darling! Millie! Come back!” Mrs. Parker yelled. 

At that moment, Aurelia was making arrangements for the decorations of the venue when the staff from One Technology arrived for the testing of the products. 

They would be using their newest robot as the servers of the ceremony, so they needed to adjust the 

respective programs. 

To her surprise, it was Leslie who came. 

She felt slightly shy especially after admitting to being Leslie’s wife on the phone earlier that 

morning. 

Leslie took on a professional mannerism and scanned the venue, before nodding his head at Aurelia and testing the robots. 

Watching how focused he was, Aurelia felt her heart racing. Not wanting others to see this, she ran to discuss with the others about where the decorations would go. 

When she turned around, she bumped into someone. Shocked, she asked, “Mr. Xenos? Why are you 

here as well?” 

He was supposed to be the assistant of the founder, so why was he so free? 

“The boss sent me here to check how everything is going. Um… Ms. Simmons, I’m sorry!” 

“Huh?” Curious, she said, “Mr. Xenos, why are you apologizing to me?” 

“I was the one who threw your heels away by accident. I thought it was a bag of trash,” he explained. 

“Oh, it’s fine.” 

Daniel had once helped her. Besides, since the heels had eventually been found, she didn’t think 

much of it. 

However, on second thought, she realized that something was off.  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
