Chapter 728
Substitute Marriage: Falling For My Ugly Wife
Was Fiona healed and back?
Millie glanced at the papers she was holding before knocking on the door.
It was Leon who answered it. He immediately grimaced upon seeing her.
He was there because Fiona had asked him to retrieve her headphones.
Millie was surprised to see Leon.
She cleared her throat and asked, âHow is Fiona?â
She was now positive that Fiona had gotten plastic surgery, but she was still determined to find out
what else she was hiding. Her initial plan was to talk to her and probe for ambiguities in her words, but
it turned out she was not home yet.
âSheâs awake now. Are you disappointed?â
Leonâs features contorted into a mocking grin. In his eyes, Millie was nothing but a hypocrite.
âSorry for bothering you.â
Millie could not handle Leonâs sarcastic attitude any longer, so she decided to leave.
âDonât you have anything to ask me?â Leon asked.
Millie immediately understood what he was implying, and her demeanour hardened as a result.
âD.S. Jewelry has decided to end my partnership. Was it your doing?â
âAre you angry? Youâre lucky, though. If something really happened to Fiona, youâd be in an even
worse situation. For now, Iâll just put an end to your career,â Leon sneered.
He knew that Millie would never be strapped for money if she approached Marcus for financial
assistance.
However, he also knew that the woman had an iron will. She would never give up her career as a
jewelry designer, and the money she was spending came entirely from her own earnings.
She would definitely be cornered if her design work was suddenly cut off.
âReally? I donât think my circumstances are particularly dire at the moment, though. Iâd be afraid if I
lacked talent, but I donât. If I canât work with D.S. Jewelry, then Iâll just find another company to
cooperate with,â Millie stated with a smile.
âExcept for your husbandâs company, no one in Preagend will hire you as a designer now. If you donât
believe me, then go ahead and try applying,â Leon taunted.
He issued a warning to the jewelry industry in Preagend, saying that anyone who decided to work with
Millie should be on the lookout for any untoward happenings.
It would be foolish to underestimate the power of the network he had built.
