Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
Chapter 1038

“I don’t know Peninsula Villa. You have the wrong person. I don’t live there.”

“Stop playing dumb with us. We saw you run out of the villa,” the man hissed, the sharp blade grazingher nose, nearly cutting her.

Panicked, Mavis stumbled, falling to the wet ground.

“I… I really don’t know. Please, let me go.”

The man hoisted Mavis to her feet effortlessly, his eyes wild.

“UW give you one last chance. Why does Marcus go there every night?”

It was Marcus they wanted information on. Mavis’ lips remained sealed, fear keeping her quiet. Sheknew that speaking now would mean losing any chance of being with Harlan. They would never betogether.

Although she had left him in anger, she still cared for him deeply.

She had never met anyone quite like Harlan. Though she knew she was attractive, he seemedindifferent to her, which intrigued her all the more.

She had fallen for Harlan the moment he picked her up from the ground, his arms warm yet firm. Hishandsome face had drawn her in.

The man’s eyes roved over her with an indecent glare.

“I think it’s time for some punishment. Are you still untouched?

Allow me to help you become a real woman. You’ll enjoy it.”

Her coat was violently ripped open, and the man’s hands explored her body.

“No…”

“Fuck! This woman is fine. Let me have her first.”

The sound of a belt hitting the ground rang out, and Mavis sat on the ground, her face pale with terror,tears streaming down her cheeks.

“No. I’ll tell you everything.”

The instant she made the decision, she knew that Harlan would never forgive her.

Meanwhile, in Cloud Villa.

The clock neared midnight. When Millie stepped out of the study, she sensed a heavy, oppressive air.She frowned, suspecting a rainstorm was brewing.

Pulling out her phone, she wondered why Marcus hadn’t returned or called.

Only a few hours earlier, Marcus had phoned her, urging her to go to bed early and not to wait up forhim.

Millie found herself wondering if Marcus’ delay was due to the weather, yet she couldn’t shake thefeeling that something significant was about to unfold.
