Chapter 37
Chapter: 37
What was the man talking about? Had he gone mad?
Gemma let out a gasp, her eyes fixed on the large display 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 the large screen, the headline was displayed in white font against a red
background, and it was accompanied by photos of Millie's ugly face and Marcus's
handsome one. This arrangement made the news easy to read at a glance.
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?
“I didn’t do this,” Millie muttered, still in shock.
“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 success just by marrying
me,” Marcus accused.
Millie pursed her lips as she stared at her unsightly photo on the screen.
Seconds later, 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 I publicly label 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 accusations against me, but I can’t do the same
to you? That doesn't seem fair. We now live in a 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 blasted
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 I 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.” The content

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

“If I 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 while
lamenting Millie's excellent reasoning
skills. The content is on

Derek, who left the office briefly, retummed with another piece of news.
“Mr. Thomas, the residents of Sirius Villa have returned.”
