Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
âWhat is it?â
âVisit the hospital. Grandmother is here too.â
Subsequently, Marcus arrived at the hospital, striding into Jonahâs ward with a demeanor untouched by
warmth.
Lying on the bed, Jonah, tethered by tubes, directed a venomous glare at Marcus, seething with the
desire to rend him asunder.
âMother, seize the moment. Your loving grandson devised my assassination.â

Claudiaâs grip on her crutch tightened, striking the floor resoundingly.
âUnless youâve got evidence, refrain from such allegations.â
Grudgingly, Jonah clamped his lips shut.
âMarcus, articulate your stance.â
Marcus stood in silence, a chill in his gaze.
âDo you perceive it now? Heâs silent. Mother, how could a heartless individual inherit Thomas Group?
Power has veiled his sensibilities, compelling him to eliminate the family and appropriate the empire for
himself.â Jonahâs words crescendoed, each syllable laying bare his intrinsic nature.
The prognosis of lifelong bedridden paralysis, as proclaimed by the doctor, was a fate worse than
immediate demise.
Bruce, standing aside, lowered his icy eyes, abstaining from utterance.
A harsh cough escaped Claudiaâs lips; her directive was crystalline.
âMarcus, speak.â
In a sudden turn, Jonah erupted into laughter.
âEven now, you advocate for your unfilial grandson. You prioritize your grandsonâs wellbeing.
Admirable, mother. In my entire existence, Iâve endeavored to be a dutiful son, refraining from money
pursuit, yet Iâve been met with such injustice. I conjecture your reaction would remain lukewarm if I
were to perish.â
Claudiaâs grip on the crutch tightened perceptibly, an enigmatic expression flickering across her gaze.
Her eyes swept the room, quelling Jonahâs outburst. Nonetheless, traces of disappointment lingered in
his eyes.
âMarcus, adjourn to the old residence and kneel. You shall rise only by my decree.â
Departing the ward, Marcus bore the weight of indifference in his gaze.
Unappeased, Jonah persisted in his acerbic taunts.
âMother, your blatant bias is glaring. He attempted to murder a man over fifty, and your retribution is
merely a momentary kneel?â
Claudia met Jonahâs acrimony with an unyielding gaze.
