Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter: 174
“The man’s murderous tone could be heard clearly on the phone as he asked,
“What do you think you're doing?”
“Nothing. I'm just saying that not only is Patrick handsome, but he also works at a
scientific research institute. From what I can see, his income is more than
enough to provide for Millie. His mother is a sweetheart, too. With them, Mille will
have a good life after marrying him.”
“shut up. If I hear any rumors about them when I get back, I'll send you abroad.”
Without waiting for Bruce's response, Marcus ended the call.
Meanwhile, Millie was coughing violently into her hand after almost choking on a
piece of orange. Once she got the coughing under control, she shot Bruce a
stern look.
“You shouldn't have lied to Latoya. You're getting her hopes up.”
“I'll explain everything to her later. Don’t worry; I'm acting in Marcus’ best interest.
If we don’t do this, he'll start to believe you're completely charmless.”
Once the night settled in, Marcus drove back to the company’s vacation spot.
Upon arriving, he made his way to his room to stow away his belongings. As he
prepared to depart, he deliberately glanced towards Millie’s room, finding it firmly
sealed. Loosening the diamond button on his wrist, he rolled up his sleeves
slightly.
Squinting his eyes, he tuned on his heel and descended the stairs.
Outside the hotel, Bruce sat on a bench, engaged in a phone conversation.
Spotting Marcus’ towering figure approaching, he promptly concluded the call.
“Marcus, I thought you weren't returning tonight. Tomorrow, you still need to
attend the business association meeting organized by the City Government,
right? The round trip takes at least two hours each time. It would be more
convenient for you to stay at home,” Bruce remarked.
Calmly, Marcus responded, “Attend tomorrow’s meeting in my place.” He stood
beneath a vibrant green banana tree, casting a sidelong glance at the night sky.
“What? Me? Isn't that your responsibility?” Bruce protested, dreading the mere
thought of attending such a meeting, as it would only induce sleepiness and
boredom.
“Then make your choice: abroad or tomorrow's meeting,” Marcus replied in a flat
tone.
“Are you threatening me?” Bruce grunted.
