Chapter 37


    Chapter: 37


    What was the man talking about? Had he gone mad?


    Gemma let out a gasp, her eyes fixed on therge disy screen on the wall. She then grabbed Millie’s arm to get her attention


    and pointed at it.


    “This is bad! Look at that.”


    On therge screen, the headline was disyed in white font against a red background, and it was apanied by photos of


    Millie’s ugly face and Marcus’s handsome one. This arrangement made the news easy to read at a nce.


    Millie’s eyes grew wide, and the hair on the back of her neck stood up. How was this possible?


    Who leaked that information to the media?


    “| didn’t do this,” Millie muttered, still in shock.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Don''t you dare deny it. You’re the one who''ll benefit the most from this. Now, everyone knows I’m not crippled, and you’ve


    jumped to sess just by marrying me,” Marcus used.


    Millie pursed her lips as she stared at her unsightly photo on the screen. Secondster, she felt her blood boiling in indignation.


    Where Marcus got the idea that she was responsible for this, she had no idea.


    She clenched her teeth and asked, “Why would | publiclybel myself as ugly and wicked? Do you really think my heart is that


    strong to degrade myself like this? This is obviously the result of you making too many enemies. You''re the one who dragged me


    into this situation.”


    On the other end of the line, Marcus could not believe his ears.


    “Are you saying that this is my fault?”


    “Is it not? What, you can make usations against me, but | can’t do the same to you? That doesn’t seem fair. We now live ina


    progressive society that promotes gender equality, which means everyone is expected to be treated fairly. Do you even have


    proof that this is my doing?”


    Millie’s remark was clearly a jab at his autocratic tendencies.


    “Do you know what will happen to you if you anger me even more, you sted gremlin?” Marcus growled.


    Millie held her ground, ice cream cone in hand.


    “Isn’t starvation my punishment for making you angry? You can’t do that now, though. Everyone knows now that I’m your wife. Ifl


    die due to starvation, they will know that it’s your fault. If | die, you’ll never be able to get out from under my shadow. If you''re fine


    with that, then go ahead and starve me to death.”


    Marcus was stunned. He had called to reprimand her, but to his shock, she med him right back with considerable vehemence.


    “If | find out you''re behind this, I''ll split you in half,” Marcus threatened. He pinched the bridge of his nose before ending the call,


    all the whilementing Millie''s excellent reasoning skills.


    Derek, who left the office briefly, retummed with another piece of news.


    “Mr. Thomas, the residents of Sirius Vi have returned.”
