Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter: 190

Aterrifying realization flickered in her mind. Should Marcus discover that she'd
shared her bed with an unknown male, his world would shatter.

As the lofty CEO and heir to the illustrious Thomas family, Marcus would
undoubtedly be devastated by the revelation that his wife had slept with a man so
repugnant and distasteful.

However, she swiftly quashed the horrifying thought. She couldn't allow Marcus
to stumble upon this truth. Even if she didn’t harbor much affection for him,
embarking on a self-destructive path simply to wound him seemed absurd. The
price was too high.

Distracting herself, Millie took a bite of her breakfast. “Indeed, I couldn't find
peaceful sleep. Given that I spent the first half of the night thwarting the ill-
intended advances of two miscreants, I am understandably a little out of sorts.”
Marcus’ gaze, penetrating as ever, held her in its iron grip. It was evident he was
skeptical of her explanation.

“Forgive me, but my hunger is sated. I must take my leave now.”

With those words, Millie dabbed at her lips and vacated her seat.

After a few strides, she stopped abruptly, pivoting on her heel. She couldn't let
the despicable man go scot-free.

“Did you hear their conversation earlier?” Millie queried.

“Who are you referring to?” Marcus’ brow furrowed in confusion.

“Well, I overheard them discussing a man who dared to disrespect women's
sanctity at the hotel last night. This abominable creature must face the
consequences. I recommend dispatching someone to seek him out immediately.
Such loathsome beings disgust me, and if you manage to apprehend him, entrust
him to my care. I will ensure he learns his lesson.” Indignation flavored Millie's
tone.

“Hand him over to you? Are you certain?” An eyebrow arched upward in Marcus’
display of surprise.

“Then why have you fixed your gaze on me all this time?” Millie shot back.

A chuckle escaped Marcus’ lips; his previous confusion dissipated. Piecing
together Millie's earlier outburst and the gossip he’d heard that morning, he
understood why she seemed particularly distressed.

Millie was a smart, observant woman. It was probable that she’d woken up this
morning to discover signs of an overnight intruder. Now, she likely believed the
culprit of last night's voyeurism had invaded her personal space.

However, the individual had already been on Derek's radar. It turned out the
villainous creep was merely a pawn in Brock's game—one of the people he'd
overpowered. Busy with their assassination plot, they wouldn't have had the time
or inclination to peep into private affairs.

Observing Marcus’ enigmatic smile, Millie felt a sinking sensation. Was she on
the verge of having her secret thoughts laid bare?

“Perhaps don't bother looking for him. The culprit must have fled by now.”
