Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
Chapter 741

“I didn’t do anything,” Fiona stammered, acting all innocent. “Perhaps Millie said something against meto him, and that’s what set him off.”

Leon’s eyes narrowed, his voice laced with skepticism. “Do you really believe that?”

Even as Fiona proclaimed her innocence, Leon couldn’t shake a feeling of irony. It was implausible thatmere words from Millie could provoke Marcus into such fury.

Fiona averted her gaze, her head lowered, unable to meet Leon’s eyes.

“I think so. What’s wrong? Are you doubting me? I’m Aisha. I’m even squeamish about killing an ant. Iwould never harm Millie.”

Yes, she might be Aisha, but she had changed. She had become so inscrutable, so unlike the personhe once knew.

“I’m sure you’re rattled. Just try to get some sleep,” Leon said, his voice tinged with a mixture ofconcern and frustration.

Fiona was hurt by his reaction, but her mind was consumed with concern for Giovanni’s situation. Sheobediently lay down in bed and closed her eyes.

Leon switched off the light and left the room, his mind awash with uncertainty.

Outside the door, his assistant was waiting for him.

“Have you found out anything?” Leon inquired, his voice taut with anticipation.

“Yes, I’ve discovered that Fiona met with a man named Giovanni,” the assistant answered, handingover a file.

Leon quickly scanned the information. Giovanni’s personal details were all there, but the documentsoffered no clear insight into the nature of his relationship with Fiona.

Leon’s mind was awhirl with questions about the connection between Fiona and Giovanni. Why hadthey chosen to meet in such a secluded alley?

“Mvestigate the nature of Fiona’s relationship with this man. I want a detailed report,” Leoncommanded.

“Boss, brace yourself if the replaceings are unsettling,” the assistant cautioned, looking up at Leon. Heknew that the discovery of Fiona’s wrongdoings would be a harsh blow to his boss.

What Marcus had done to Fiona was an indirect testament to her questionable character.

“Boss, women can be unpredictable. You two have been apart for years. It’s possible she hastransformed from a good person to a bad one,” the assistant answered.

This frivolous and greedy woman couldn’t hold a candle to Lois, yet Leon treated her with an affectionthat seemed a thousand, if not ten thousand times more profound than what he offered to Lois. Theassistant’s heart ached with sympathy for Lois.

“Proceed with the investigation into Fiona’s connection with this man,” Leon instructed.

He sat on a nearby chair, feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on him.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Fiona cautiously got out of bed and moved to the bathroom with her mobilephone in hand. She dialed Giovanni, but there was no response.
