Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

“Prior creations, you say? Did you ‘borrow’ those as well?”

Met with mockery, Millie offered a fleeting smile but refrained from engaging further.

Upon Dottie’s exit from the stage, the host’s mellifluous tones resounded once more.

“The Thomas Group undeniably cements its eminence as a front-runner in the realm of jewelry. The previously showcased works were each a marvel. Now, we approach the pinnacle of anticipation. Our distinguished designers, Nancy and Millie, are poised to reveal their meticulously honed masterpieces. The suspense is palpable. The initial exhibits have set the bar high, leaving us eager to witness what these two Luminaries have created. And so, I must inquire, which designer will seize the spotlight first?”

With an expectant gaze upon them, the host awaited the answer.

Adhering to their agreement, Millie rose from her seat.

“I’ll assume the honor.”

Millie’s declaration invoked an involuntary clenching of Marcus’ fist, making his concerns for her wellbeing manifest. Reflecting on her tearful vulnerability earlier that day, Marcus’ worry painted a picture of potential distress on the stage.

Meanwhile, Nancy’s circle, seemingly synchronized, engaged in a cacophony of conversation.

“Haha, a spectacle is imminent. The plagiarist takes the stage, truly unashamed !”

“Where does she gather the audacity to step forward?”

“Plagiarists deserve no quarter. They must be shunned by all reputable companies and forever blacklisted.”

“Absolutely! She exploits Marcus’ standing to maneuver at her whims.

Evidently, the work was authored by another, yet she dares lay claims.

She possesses no scruples.”

The surrounding audience, aghast, exchanged incredulous glances, voicing their disdain for Millie.

“Ah, she’s the one who purportedly designed D.S Jewelry’s Swan Kiss.

So young, yet so audacious.”

“Thomas Group, a titan in the jewelry industry, ought not shield employees who resort to such unscrupulous actions.”

As Millie ascended the stage, her entrance was accompanied by a chorus of disapproving boos. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Contemptuous gazes were aimed her way, especially from the wives of influential figures present, individuals who harbored a _ staunch antipathy for plagiarists.

For those unaccustomed to such harsh scrutiny, maintaining composure would be a challenge.

Marcus’ eyes scanned the assembly, then he swiveled to signal Trenton, displeasure etched upon his face.

“What’s the host doing? Are they merely there for show? How can they allow this chorus of disapproval?”
