Chapter 738
Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
Marcus walked toward the window at the end of the corridor, took a drag of his cigarette and glared at
Giovanniâs almost lifeless body on the floor. It was obvious that he was still fuming.
Millie rose to her feet, her lips caught between her teeth, a clear sign of her distress.
Marcus, having thrown his cigarette away, approached her with concern in his eyes.
âAre you hurt?â he inquired, his tone filled with worry.
Grasping his hand, Millie shook her head, her eyes lingering on his once-white shirt, now stained with
the harsh red of violence.
Marcus was so fierce earlier; almost savage. Still, she understood that his rage had been fueled by his
desire to protect her.
âGo to your room. Iâll wait for Derek,â Marcus said softly, the storm of his anger now subsided.
Millie responded, âOkay.â
Derek arrived ten minutes later, his expression one of hurried concern. Recognition dawned on him as
he identified the battered man on the floor as one of the stalkers he had thought dead. His surprise was
mirrored in his voice as he looked to Marcus.
âDonât let him die,â Marcus commanded.
Derekâs face twisted with confusion. âWhy do you want to keep this menace alive?â
â[ still have some use for this bastard.â With those words, Marcus turned and made his way to the room
where Millie waited.
Millie sat on the sofa, her arms tightly crossed, lost in a daze of shock and fear. The dayâs events had
shaken her to her core.
She knew that Fiona was likely the mastermind behind this twisted plot.
Her heart still raced, the terror of what might have been still haunting her thoughts.
Marcusâ restraint faltered as he considered Millieâs mood. She should have been filled with joy that
evening, but now her face was etched with fear and concern. A surge of anger took hold of him,
propelling him towards the table. He swiftly bent down, opened the bottom drawer, and retrieved a
black gun.
âI will take down Fiona so that sheâll never disturb you again,â he vowed, his voice filled with
determination.
Millieâs eyes widened in shock.
Marcus was planning to kill Fiona? She was shocked to find that he was holding a gun. She had never
known about the weapon hidden in their home.
She raced after him, her heart pounding. But by the time she reached the downstairs, he had already
driven away.
Panic set in, and Millie quickly hailed a taxi, knowing that Marcusâ desire for revenge could lead to dire
consequences.
âHurry up and catch up with the car in front of us,â she instructed.
