Chapter: 36 Marcus returned to the company. Meanwhile, a shocking news report was going viral on the internet.
“Breaking news! Marcus Thomas, the undisputed leader of the Thomas Group and one of Preagend’s most prominent business figures, is not, in fact, disabled!”
A few minutes later, another shocking piece of information became public.
“Another breaking news! Rumour has it that Marcus Thomas married Millie Brown, who is notorious for her unattractiveness and wickedness, making his marriage appear to be a sham.”
Derek, the moment he saw the news, went straight to the CEO’s office.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
When he walked in, he saw Marcus seated at the desk, eyes riveted on the screen as he scrolled through a webpage. “Mr. Thomas,” Derek called, but Marcus did not respond.
From Marcus’s expression alone, Derek knew that the man was irate, and that made him nervous.
Marcus's eyes ran over Millie’s photo on the monitor before he grabbed up his phone and began scrolling through his contact list. When he failed to find the woman’s number, his demeanour hardened, and a palpable heaviness settled over the room.
“Give me that woman’s phone number,” Marcus demanded.
Derek immediately took out his phone, clicked on Millie’s contact information, and handed it to Marcus. Meanwhile, Gemma and Millie were on their way to the shopping mall.
“| like this flavour of ice cream. It's so sweet!” Gemma gushed.
Millie chuckled.
“| can’t believe you get all excited over a small treat like this. You’re such a foodie.”
“| can’t help it. It tastes so good,” Gemma replied with a sheepish grin.
Millie and Gemma had just purchased ice cream cones and were making their way into the shopping mall when Millie’s phone Tang.
As she answered the call, she wondered who the caller was, as she did not recognize the number on the screen. The answer to her question came in the form of a familiar, angry voice that almost shattered her eardrums.
“Millie, you really have a lot of guts! Not only did you expose that I’m not crippled, but you also told everyone | married a vicious woman like you! You must feel like you've hit the jackpot now, don’t you? You must be so pleased with yourself right now.”
Millie moved the phone away from her ear with a confused expression on her face.
