Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Millie glanced at the camera, noticing it was indeed turned off, and then shot Marcus an irate look.

“That’s mot a guarantee. A couple from a prestigious university recently made headlines for inappropriate behavior in a park. The video was uploaded online and it’s become the talk of the nation.

Does this suggest that the students from that university are Lacking in smarts?”

That couple had become social pariahs overnight.

Marcus tried to contain a laugh, clearly entertained by Millie’s blush and the subject matter.

“So what exactly did this couple do?”

Millie turned her head away, avoiding specifics.

“They did something they shouldn’t have.”

Upon seeing Marcus’s grin widen, her cheeks flushed even more. Why had she given him such an example?

He was obviously feigning innocence.

Clearing her throat, Millie shot him a stern look.

“Enough with the laughter. The one who laughs is a fool.”

Marcus suppressed his laughter and feigned innocence.

“I’m just curious what this couple did that’s making you blush like this.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Millie felt a wave of irritation at Marcus’s feigned seriousness.

“Marcus Thomas. I never thought you could be this annoying.”

It was rare of her calling his full name. Marcus had to bite back his laughter to keep a straight face.

Quick to shift the subject, Millie asked, “So, Nancy’s departure. Was that your doing?”

Marcus’s gaze sharpened. He’d been considering terminating Nancy’s contract for some time. If not for Millie’s earlier intervention, she would have been gone long before, and Millie herself wouldn’t have gotten tangled up with a criminal enterprise.

“It was time for her to go.”

Whether it was Nancy’s fake illnesses at the Snow Mountain Villa, or the cliques she’d formed within the design department, she had done more harm than good. And that wasn’t even touching on the two times her actions had put Millie in real danger.

Simply ending her contract was leniency in itself.

As Millie had suspected, it was Marcus’s doing. She kept quiet.

She was well aware that Nancy’s lax attitude towards contractual obligations wouldn’t get her kicked out of Thomas Group simply for losing a bet.
