Chapter 1061
Substitute Marriage: Falling For My Ugly Wife
Ryan raised his wine glass with his elegant fingers and inquired, âDo you have any recommendations
in mind?â
Humphreyâs voice was resolute as he responded, âYouâre surely familiar with Nancyâs renown in the
jewelry industry. Sheâs someone I hold in high regard. If possible, I would like to see her take on the
role of Chief Designer in our company.â
His dissatisfaction with Nancyâs employment at the Thomas Group had driven him to invest in D.S.
Jewelry.
Baffled, Nancy interjected, âYour company?â
She was left puzzled, wondering which company they were referring to.
Humphrey gently clasped her hand and earnestly conveyed, âD.S.
Jewelry is the jewelry company established by my brother. Recently, the Chief Designer position
became vacant due to a departure. My brother is making every effort to locate an exceptional jewelry
designer. Join our company, and it would give me the chance to have you by my side each day.â
His eyes sparkled with hope.
âAre you saying that D.S. Jewelry is your company?â
Nancyâs skepticism persisted, finding it hard to believe that the head of this enterprise was actually
Humphreyâs sibling.
âYes, I assure you this is the truth. Although we currently canât rival Thomas Jewelry, you should
understand that our past jewelry releases have gained immense popularity, indicating our companyâs
significant potential.â

Humphrey was cautious in his words, fearing that Nancy might reject his proposal.
He wanted to make it clear that choosing to leave the Thomas Group for their company would be a
wise decision. After all, he had witnessed how Millie outshone Nancy during the Snow Mountain Villa
incident.
Now that Millie was in the Thomas Group, she could easily replace Nancy in a heartbeat.
However, Nancy hesitated, her fingers fidgeting with her skirt. She couldnât readily agree. All her
professional experience had been tied to the Thomas Group. D.S. Jewelry didnât seem to measure up
in comparison, and she feared that switching companies would tarnish her reputation.
Observing Nancyâs indecision, Humphrey turned to Ryan, seeking assistance.
âRyan.â
Since Ryan was great at negotiations, his intervention might hold the power to sway Nancyâs decision.
Humphrey was taken aback when Ryan not only disregarded his plea but also responded, âIf sheâs
unwilling, we should honor her decision.â
Despite Nancyâs renown, Ryan held no interest in her. He had already decided on the chief designer
candidate.
âRyan! â
Humphrey was dumbfounded. He had turned to Ryan for assistance, so he was confused as to why his
brother would say that.
âMy apologies, but I have an urgent matter to attend to. I must leave now.â
With one hand fastening his coat, Ryan stood up and swiftly exited the private room.
