Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
Chapter 710

Derek stole a nervous glance at the backseat. Marcus had sealed his eyes shut, apparently dozing.

The previous night, Marcus had endured excruciating torment due to the agonizing pain from his wound. The venom proved profoundly menacing.

Currently, they are en route to the company to address business matters.

Derek contemplated the idea of rousing Marcus from his slumber. Millie had spotted them and was rapidly closing in.

Derek cast a backward glance, and just as the traffic light transitioned to green, he abruptly pressed the gas pedal, propelling the car forward before Millie could close the gap.

Marcus had deliberately avoided Millie. It was better to prevent her from catching up.

Within arm’s reach, Millie stood helplessly as Marcus’ car sped away, beads of sweat trailing down her chin. Her mind seemed to seize up.

Marcus was evading her!

Within the CEO’s office at Thomas Group, Marcus had concluded sorting through a stack of documents. Derek remained behind, not immediately departing after organizing the files; clearly, something occupied his thoughts.

“Speak,” Marcus directed.

Derek exhibited a hint of embarrassment.

“Mr. Thomas, while en route to the company, Mrs. Thomas spotted us. She even pursued the car.”

Millie had pursued the car!

With a sharp snap, the pen within Marcus’ grasp snapped in two. Derek harbored a sense of foreboding.

“Why didn’t you inform me earlier?”

Derek hung his head. “At that time, you were just beginning to fall asleep, and considering how you’ve been avoiding Mrs. Thomas, I took the liberty of driving away.”

“Your cognitive functions must be malfunctioning, Derek.” Marcus’ lips pursed.

If Millie was chasing after cars, her distress must have reached a critical point to prompt such reckless behavior.

Acontemplative expression settled in Marcus’ eyes.

Having misled Millie by claiming he was embarking on a business trip when he was truly in Preagend, her anger must have been ignited. This tangled predicament warranted a resolution. He needed to return to Millie’s side at once.

When Millie was enraged, her determination was formidable.

“Mr. Thomas, perhaps we should inform Mrs. Thomas of the truth? She might comprehend.”
