Chapter 608
Substitute Marriage: Falling For My Ugly Wife
Observing Briaâs anxious demeanor, Celeste pressed further, âWhatâs the matter?â
Noticing Briaâs nervous fidgeting, Celeste grew suspicious. Something was troubling her.
Suddenly, Bria found herself kneeling before them.
âMy lady, I confess. I was the one who placed the fish bone in your soup. Iâm deeply sorry, my lady. I
knew I was wrong. I wonât repeat such a mistake.â
Astonishment colored Celesteâs expression. She clenched her fists and demanded, âWhat did you just
say?â
Rhea also found the situation perplexing. She didnât understand why Bria was suddenly revealing the
truth, but she admonished her promptly.
âBria, have you lost your senses? What nonsense are you uttering? It was Millie who did this.â
Bria looked up at Rhea. She knew this defense wouldnât work, even if Rhea tried to protect her now.
She had already confessed everything to Marcus. No one could shield her.
âAnd the vase. I deliberately broke it and framed Millie for it. 1 disliked her arrogance. I deeply regret it
now. I beg for your mercy considering my old age.â
âWhat? Youâre the one who broke the vase? Bria, youâve stunned me. So, it was you who was truly
malevolent.â
Celeste slammed her hand on the smooth table, fuming.
She hadnât expected that the person she had always trusted could be such a deceitful schemer.
âI wonât spare you. Just wait for Marcus to return and deal with you. Youâll be dismissed, for sure. As for
any further punishments, thatâs at Marcusâ discretion.
Leave right now.â
Celesteâs breathing grew labored, yet Bria remained kneeling, trembling.
Rhea chimed in, âGo away. Canât you hear? We want you out of our sight.â
âAlright, Iâll leave immediately.â
Rhea couldnât fathom Briaâs motives. Her abrupt confession incited Rheaâs anger.
âMrs. Thomas, allow me to give you a massage. Donât worry about Bria. Once Marcus is back, sheâll
undoubtedly face consequences.â
Rhea gently caressed Celesteâs back.
âWhatâs gotten into Bria? I believed she was a good person. That fish bone couldâve killed me.â
Recalling the harrowing experience of nearly choking on a fish bone, Celeste shuddered with lingering
fear.
