Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
Chapter 107

Chapter 107

“What the hell are you doing? Climb out of the water now!”Millie understood now why Marcus looked so terrified when he saw her earlier under the water.

Her strength had finally dwindled to the point that she could no longer swim. She touched the fake scar on her face andshrugged. She had nothing to worry about as she had been pretending to be a grotesquely unattractive woman, anyway.

With that in mind, she climbed to the shore with her head held high.

Instantly, the other guests started talking among themselves about her appearance.

“Damn, she looks horrendous! That's one hell of a scar.”

“Indeed. To say she’s ugly would be an understatement.”

“| can’t believe someone so ugly got married into the Thomas family. I’m ten times more beautiful than her!”Not even a minute after she set foot on land, Millie was met with a barrage of insults about her face.

In an effort to avoid further embarrassment, Marcus turned around, intending to leave Millie behind.

However, before he could walk away, Millie dramatically threw herself into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his waist andwhispered, “Honey, I’m cold. | was pushed into the water earlier, and | was really scared. You have to avenge me.”

Marcus's fury flared up, and his first instinct was to push her away.However, pity welled up unexpectedly inside him when he realized how much Millie was shivering as she nuzzled on his chest.“Did you just say you were pushed?” Marcus asked in confusion.

Millie might have drowned if he had not jumped in to save her, and it took him considerable effort to free her ankle from thetangle of water weeds.

“Yes. It was Rhea who pushed me,” Millie grumbled. “She just barged up to me and said you belonged to her and that you’dmarry her if | died. You saw it yourself. | almost died there. There were water weeds wrapped around my ankle. If you hadn'tcome to save me, | wouldn’t have been able to free myself.”

Millie pulled away a little from Marcus to point at Rhea. Then, like a wounded kitten seeking comfort, she retreated into his arms.She had no intention of letting the vile woman off the hook.

Rhea’s eyes grew wide with rage, and she immediately opened her mouth to defend herself.

“You're lying! | didn’t push you; you jumped into the water. Don’t you dare accuse me of something | didn’t do!”

Both parties were determined to stick to their stories. Meanwhile, the other guests started to voice their opinions.

“Did Miss Evans really push her? | wonder who’s telling the truth.”
