Chapter 2
The servant was puzzled. The tears that were flowing down Millie's cheeks earlier as Marcus nearly suffocated her were now gone, and she was acting as if nothing had happened.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
When she noticed that Millie was staring at her, she quickly snapped out of her thoughts. Her head dipped as she stuttered, “Actually, madam, you're the only one who hasn’t eaten dinner yet; everyone else has already done so.”
For a brief second, Millie was speechless.
She guessed that it was probably because she was never really accepted by anyone in the Thomas household. Celeste Thomas, Marcus's mother had a reputation for being a stickler for the rules, but Millie was already being denied food, even though she had just joined the family. This was obviously an effort to assert authority and scare her, the new daughter-in-law.
“Just bring my food here, then,” Millie instructed. The servant’s expression became troubled.
“If they ask you why you got me food, just tell them that | haven't eaten in three days and that if | don’t eat, I'll starve to death in their house. Also, tell them that | already passed out from hunger earlier,” Millie suggested.
“Is that... really going to work?” the servant timidly asked. Millie gave her a reassuring wink and said, “It will. Trust me.”
In the living room, Marcus sat on the extravagant leather sofa. He was holding a glass, and his grip on it was so tight that it looked like he wanted to break it.
His assistant walked up to him, carrying a stack of documents. “Mr. Thomas, after a thorough investigation, we can confirm that the woman you married wasn’t Mia but Millie, who's known for her disfigured face. The Brown family had deceived us.”
Marcus wrinkled his brow and released his grip on the glass, letting it fall to the floor. His assistant pulled out two photos and set them down in front of him.
There was a striking difference between the two photos. Mia had fine features, and she looked ethereal. Millie, on the other hand, was scarred horribly on the right side of her face. It looked like a centipede had crawled across her face.

Marcus let out an ominous chuckle. “How dare they trick me into marrying that woman? Do they really think they can get away with it?”
Celeste, dressed to the nines and standing next to Marcus, grabbed the photos. The more she looked at them, the more unsettled she felt. “Damn these Browns! They thought my son was a disabled man, so they had this hideous woman marry him!” she exclaimed.
Five years ago, Marcus got involved in a car accident, and since then, rumors had been circulating that it left him with paralyzed legs. When Celeste attempted to disprove the claims, Marcus stopped her.
Rhea Evans, who was sitting next to Celeste, felt a tremendous relief wash over her.
In her heart, she was the one should be Marcus's wife, and it seemed that was still the case until now. After all, there was no way Marcus would fall for that ugly woman. ©
“Mrs. Brown, please calm down. Here, let me give you a massage,” Rhea said.
The union between the two families was not announced to the public and was instead conducted discreetly.
