Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter: 74

Marcus fell silent for a moment. He had already arranged for two bodyguards to
monitor Millie, and he had no plans of taking her to the event.

“Focus on your own affairs. It doesn’t concern you,” Marcus responded icily.

“I see my good intentions are lost on you. Let me speak to Millie. All the women
here are impeccably dressed, and I want her to make a strong impression as
well.”

Upon hearing Bruce mention her again, a piercing look crossed Marcus's face.
“There's no need. She won't be attending,” he stated.

Suddenly, another voice chimed in over the phone.

“Young man, what nonsense are you spouting? It's my 80th birthday celebration!
How can my granddaughter-in-law not be present? Since you got married, you've
kept her away from me. Do you no longer respect your grandmother? She must
attend. I'll be waiting for both of you.”

Marcus's grandmother, Claudia, had intercepted the call. Marcus immediately
recognized Bruce's ploy.

Over the line, Claudia added, “That's settled then. You are to bring your wife.”
The call ended abruptly, leaving Marcus deep in thought, his brow furrowed.
Not long after, Millie received a phone call from Bruce. She sat on the bedroom
couch, hugging her knees, her gaze resting on the elegant dress hanging from
the hanger.

Seeing the two guards posted outside her door, Millie swiped her screen to
accept the call.

“I apologize, but I won't be able to make it to the party. Please extend my well
wishes to grandma.”

At this point, even if she morphed into a bee, she wouldn't be able to escape.
“Millie, prepare yourself. I've arranged everything for you,” Bruce assured.
Millie was taken aback, wondering if she'd misheard him.

“Really? Can I attend grandma’s birthday celebration?”
