Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
Chapter 786

Derek turned around and saw that Marcus’ hands were clasped together on his abdomen.

“You were right, Mr. Thomas,” he reported slowly. “Mrs. Thomas is indeed the person Leon had beensearching for. During the investigation, we found out that Mrs. Thomas had an incident with fire whichmade her lose some of her memories.

That’s why she can’t remember him. Also, at the time, she used to wear a mask all the time, and herappearance has changed since then. It explains why Leon cannot recognize her either.”

Marcus’ eyes darkened.

Derek continued, “During the investigation, we discovered that there were a lot of false informationhindering the truth. The person who was in charge of the investigation almost fell for them, but dugdeeper until he found out the truth.”

Marcus’ frown deepened.

Someone had gone to a lot of trouble to keep the truth from Leon. Who could it be?

Who it was didn’t matter. What truly mattered, was the fact that Millie was really the one Leon wassearching for.

Marcus seemed to have stopped breathing. He couldn’t move a single muscle.

Seeing this, Derek added, “If you ask me, sir, there is no need for you to worry. Leon believes thatFiona is the woman he has been looking for. And now that Fiona has so greatly disappointed him, heshould be able to move on from the past and forget about that woman. Besides, it’s something of thepast. Even if Mrs. Thomas does remember it, which isn’t likely, I doubt she will go to him because of it.Just because he longs for what they had doesn’t mean she will too.”

Marcus looked down, his heart momentarily softened as he recalled Millie’s heartfelt confession theprevious night. Her voice had been so soft as she said, “I think I’ve fallen in love with you.”

When Marcus didn’t say anything, Derek went a mile further. “If necessary, sir, we can simply eliminateLeon.”

Marcus’ eyes snapped up at the man. “Don’t you have confidence in me?”

“Of course I do, sir. Even if Mrs. Thomas knows about this, she will still choose you.

I don’t think anyone else can compare to you. However, like I said, if you consider it a potential issue,we can address and resolve it discreetly,” Derek explained. ere Are We Going To Have Dinner

During Derek’s training on Raven Island, all he saw in Marcus was courage, resourcefulness, wisdomand the rare ability to always get himself out of danger.

Derek had utmost respect for Marcus. He thought that there was no better man than his boss.

Marcus had faced countless dangerous situations before. Yet, his eyes were filled with fear as helooked out of the window.

This wasn’t him. He always had to be self-confident.

A sudden knock on the window brought him back to earth. He looked up and saw a familiar face.

Marcus racked his brain to recall who it was. He had a tendency to forget women’s faces quickly.

Then it clicked. It was the girl that once came to his hotel room with a scarf for him.
