Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter: 393
However, Nancy's fluctuating moods and irritable demeanor had not gone
unnoticed. There existed something beneath the surface that one couldn't find
from her mere resume.
A sudden, unexpected flutter jolted Nancy's heart. In Mrs. Barton's statement,
Nancy discerned an undercurrent of mockery aimed at her perceived arrogance.
Marcus’ countenance shifted, a shadow descending upon his features. His gaze,
weighted with both appraisal and reproach, fastened upon Nancy as he
pronounced, “You may depart.”
“Wait a moment. By chance, I encounter yet another jewelry designer. Mr.
Thomas, would you consent to a friendly competition between Nancy and this
newfound artisan?” Mrs. Barton inquired.
Marcus’ visage underwent a subtle transformation. An inkling unfurled, hinting
that Mrs. Barton's sentiment towards Nancy was far from amiable.
With a calm demeanor, he replied, “Certainly.”
A tide of annoyance surged within Nancy's being.
She had apprehended the implications underlying Mrs. Barton's intentions—to pit
her against a fellow designer, an implication that Nancy’s prowess needed
validation. The notion was ludicrous; who could rival her unmatched skill? Nancy
regarded Mrs. Barton's actions with dismissive disdain.
Marcus, with an arched brow and casual demeanor, suggested, “Could I have the
pleasure of meeting the designer you mentioned, Mrs. Barton?”
In response, Mrs. Barton's gaze was directed towards Simon, an instruction
implicit in her expression. “Summon Miss Brown, if you would.”
Miss Brown? Instantly, Millie’s image surfaced in Marcus’ mind, although the
notion appeared implausible. Since when had Millie become acquainted with
Mrs. Barton? simon delivered the invitation.
While she was gently setting aside her spoon, Millie’s gaze swept the
surroundings, and she inquired, “Is there a way I can be of assistance to Mrs.
Barton?”
Surprise rippled through her as she noted the continued presence of Marcus and
Nancy, her confusion mounting. Millie could discern no reason for her presence
in this context.
Simon's expression bore a secretive quality as he said, “A splendid affair awaits
you; the revelation shall transpire upon your arrival.”
Mrs. Barton directed her gaze towards Millie, a smile gracing her lips. Declining
the invitation seemed inappropriate, compelling Millie to rise from her seat and
offer a nod of agreement.
Upon Millie’s arrival, escorted by Simon, Nancy's brows knitted in surprise, her
expression shifting swiftly to a frown.

Millie felt a glimmer of positivity at this proposition.
Meanwhile, Nancy clenched her lips, her face twitching as if grappling with
considerable indignation.
