Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

“Do you ever get the feeling that you owe me from a previous life?

It’s as if in this life, you keep coming to my rescue whenever I’m in trouble, as if repaying some karmic debt.”

Millie’s words carried a playful tone, eliciting a chuckle from Harlan.

“I owe Marcus. He once saved me when I was in peril. My way of repaying him is by keeping you safe.”

Curiosity getting the best of him, he inquired further, “By the way, why are you alone? Where’s Marcus?”

Millie’s gaze fell, and she responded unhappily, “He went to Peach Town this afternoon.”

Harlan couldn’t help but speculate that Marcus’s absence and Ryan’s sudden actions against Millie were not mere coincidences. He suspected that Ryan had orchestrated the events.

Just as he was contemplating offering Millie a ride back, her phone rang, and she promptly answered.

“Hello?”

“Hello, is this Miss Brown? I’m calling from the Preagend Public Security Bureau. We’ve identified the mastermind behind your grandmother’s case. Please come to the police station.”

Millie was taken aback by the unexpected call.

“Wow! Really? Okay, I’ll be with you soon.”

After hanging up, she turned to Harlan with a trace of worry in her eyes.

“Harlan, can you give me a lift to the police station?”

He readily agreed, saying, “Sure! Jump into the car.”

Upon arriving at the Public Security Bureau’s entrance, Millie hopped out and hurried inside.

A female police officer and a male officer, both in uniform, awaited her.

“Hello, nice to meet you. I’m Millie Brown. I heard that you found out the mastermind who harmed my grandma,” Millie greeted them.

“Nice to meet you, Millie. I’m Floyd Gilbert. I used to be Tobin’s classmate. He requested that we expedite this case. Of course, Mr. Thomas also urged us to resolve it as quickly as possible,” Officer Gilbert replied.

Millie was pleasantly surprised to learn that Mr. Nicolas and Mr. Gilbert had been classmates, which was a fortunate connection.

Moreover, Marcus’s genuine concern for her grandmother’s case had undoubtedly expedited the investigation. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Sir, thank you so much!” Millie expressed her gratitude.

The policewoman courteously poured a glass of water for Millie and advised her, “Miss Brown, we have identified the mastermind. Please prepare yourself to hear the person’s name.”

Millie accepted the water and said, “Thank you. So, tell me who the person is. That’s all I want to know.”
