Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Marcus casually undid a button on his suit jacket, settling into the central seat of the foremost row. A reflexive glance over his shoulder met Millie’s gaze, a silent exchange bridging the distance between them.

A smirk tugged at Nancy’s lips as she taunted, “Just ensure your defeat isn’t too catastrophic.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Nancy lifted her chin once more, a glint of determination in her eyes.

“Last round, I unveiled my creation first. This time, I suggest you take the stage before me.”

Millie registered a touch of astonishment, her voice colored with curiosity.

“You propose I take the lead?”

“Absolutely, for the finest should rightfully be reserved for the finale,” Nancy declared with a knowing air.

Millie concurred with a playful note, “Alright then, but be prepared if I happen to steal the spotlight.”

On the stage, the host stood poised to deliver a resounding opening address.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for gracing us with your presence at the grand unveiling of Thomas Group’s Latest product line. Today, we embark on a journey to witness the birth of an exquisite collection of jewelry that encapsulates the essence of Thomas Group’s artistry. As a trailblazer in the realm of domestic jewelry, Thomas Group’s legacy speaks for itself.”

Nancy’s sidelong glance at Millie revealed the latter’s intent attention. A flicker of displeasure danced across Nancy’s lips, and her words, whispered with an undertone of cynicism, hung in the air.

“Putting on quite the show.”

The event’s schedule unrolled, and with the majestic opening words fading, the spotlight shifted to the heart of the event.

The host announced the forthcoming presentation of bridal jewelry accessories. Designers from Thomas Group’s jewelry design department graced the stage, each stepping forth to introduce their creations.

Simultaneously, their meticulously designed pieces were artfully arranged on display pedestals.

A high-definition screen projected close-up images of the jewelry, ensuring that every attendee, regardless of proximity, could partake in the brilliance.

“Greetings, esteemed guests. I had the privilege of designing the brooch adorning the bride’s toast attire for the Fairclough and Lawrence union. Given the bride’s elevated station, I endeavored to craft a ruby brooch.”

“Good day, everyone. For the Fairclough-Lawrence wedding event, I conceived the concept for a bracelet.”

With time advancing, Millie’s impending moment on stage approached.

She unconsciously rested her hands upon her knees, which was noted by Nancy.

“Nervous, Millie? Were I in your shoes, nerves would certainly assail me. I’m truly intrigued to see what you’ve conjured to attempt to surpass me,” Nancy’s voice murmured sardonically.

Millie responded with a feigned sigh, infusing her words with playful regret.

“Truth be told, my offering today was a piece from my prior creations. It appears I lack the innovation to truly outshine you.”

Emerie, standing beside Nancy, emitted a scornful chuckle as her lips curled into a mocking grin.
