Substitute Marriage: Falling For My Ugly Wife
âWhether you choose to believe it or not, the phone number holds its authenticity,â she assured.
Nancyâs astonishment surged, seeds of doubt sown as she questioned the accuracy of what she had
just heard.
âAre you genuinely willing to offer it to us?â
âAbsolutely, but do understand that itâs not a gratuitous offering.
A purchase is the prerequisite.â
âPurchase it?â
Millie nodded with unwavering resolve, her demeanor devoid of any hint of jest.
Nancy found herself at a crossroads of contemplation. The notion of a free offering held no credence,
yet Millieâs assertion of a sale held a certain measure of credibility. In Nancyâs perception, Millie
embodied the persona of an opportunist, one who seized every chance to amass wealth.
Currently, the media remained oblivious to the mastermind behind Swan Kiss. Even victory in the
wedding jewelry competition would necessitate her departure from the Thomas Group. In the interim,
opting to align with D.S Jewelry appeared as the most prudent course of action.

âSeems Like youâre in quite a rush for funds?â A sneer tugged at the corner of Nancyâs lips, a subtle
display of her skepticism.
âLetâs not kid ourselves â money is no stranger to anyoneâs affections. Selling my creation to you would
undoubtedly be a windfall. The terms are favorable. If I were to release it under the Thomas Groupâs
banner, Iâd merely earn a commission. Moreover, the lawyerâs informed me that this legal tangle will
stretch out over time. Yet, my yearning for swift financial gains remains insatiable,â
Millie articulated with candor.
Nancy found herself taken aback by Millieâs forthright admission.
âAre you in need of funds? Donât attempt to deceive me. Itâs common knowledge that youâre the
presidentâs wife. Financial shortage isnât a predicament one associates with your status.â
From Nancyâs tone, Millie could tell she didnât believe Millie could extract funds from the Thomas family.
âIndeed, I find myself in want of funds. Itâs common knowledge that Celeste regards me with disdain.
Sheâs forever vigilant, treating me as though I were a common thief. Her persistent aim is to persuade
Marcus to cast me aside. Consequently, I must stash away personal funds in my own right.â
âHa ha, you hit the mark, Celesteâs never held affection for you.
Itâs only a matter of time before Marcus parts ways with you.â
Nancyâs defenses crumbled, replaced by an unrestrained laughter that echoed through the air.
âWell then, whatâs the price tag youâre placing on it?â Nancy inquired.
âTwo hundred grand.â
Nancyâs response lingered in the air, prompting Millie to take the initiative and revise the asking price
downwards.
âIs the cost exorbitant?â Millie queried.
âI can certainly reduce it.
