Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
Chapter 761

Randolph’s scrutiny enveloped Millie, a once-unremarkable pupil now wed to the helm of the ThomasGroup—a narrative intriguing in its twists.

Truth be told, he had harbored an awareness of Millie for an extended period. He had beheld herdesigns, an embodiment of excellence. Yet she had shielded herself behind a mask, secluded andstudious, creating an aura of detachment while guarding her talent and acumen.

Post-graduation, her alliance with the Thomas Group’s president set the school abuzz, elevating her toprominence. Even the faculty revisited her prodigious creations, acknowledging her design prowess.

Randolph opined, “Now, the picture is clear. Millie, your discretion in donning that mask during youracademic journey was sagacious indeed.”

Without that veneer, suitors would have undoubtedly clamored for her attention.

Tuming to Marcus, Randolph commented, “Mr. Thomas, Millie stands as an exemplar of diligentscholarship. While her peers indulged in courtship during campus life, she dedicated herself to studiesand part-time labor at the cafeteria.”

Randolph’s acclaim encompassed not only her academic dedication but also underscored herunembellished romantic history during her academic tenure. A maiden of purity Millie felt the warmth ofRandolph’s concern.

As Randolph concluded his remarks, a smile graced Marcus’ countenance. He reached for a porcelainchalice, a vessel of white, and pronounced, “Youth should cherish their academic pursuits and strivediligently.”

“Indeed,” agreed Randolph. “Her trajectory underscores that diligence begets fortune. Presently, she isamong the rare few at Preagend University who’ve achieved a harmonious blend of affection and

vocation.”

Millie’s lips pressed together. Randolph remained unaware of the intricacies of her life. Her fagadebespoke success, yet every stride had been laden with challenges. As a designer, her professionaltrajectory stagnated, and her collaboration with D.S. Jewelry dwindled. As a daughter-in-law, sheremained out of favor with Celeste, her mother-in-law.

In time, Randolph’s gaze shifted to Marcus, an air of unease accompanying his words.

“[ harbor a presumptuous inquiry. Our endeavors in modern jewelry education have commenced. Mr.Thomas, might you replace it within your schedule to offer your insights to our students over the span oftwo weeks? The Thomas Group’s eminence in the jewelry domain is indisputable, and your wealth ofexpertise could prove invaluable to our students. Should you consent to this endeavor, it would be anhonor indeed.”

Millie’s pulse stalled briefly. The proposal was a wise one. Marcus’ foresight and reputation suggestedhe’d garner considerable attention from the student body.

Gazing at Marcus, Millie pondered whether he would accede or withhold his assent.

A furrow marred Marcus’ brow, his thumb tracing the rim of his cup, his contemplation a tableau paintedin silence. Randolph, patient, awaited the verdict.

At the helm of the Thomas Group, Marcus’ obligations extended to an array of societal affairs andassemblies. This demanding agenda suggested a scarcity of available hours for undertakinginstructional duties.

“Agreed,” Marcus responded readily, his acquiescence swift. A shift of his gaze directed Millie’s way,his proposal emerging. “And you, my dear, might replace a place within my class as well.”

Millie’s reaction bordered on speechlessness.

Her graduated status loomed; the prospect of returning to class held absurdity.

“I’ve already graduated.” Millie’s voice carried a murmur, disbelief tinged her tone.

“Ino longer possess the status of an enrolled student.”

Randolph, however, ushered forth a dismissive gesture.
