Chapter: 38 Marcus's gaze grew cold and betrayed a hint of astonishment. “When did they come back?”
“It happened on the day of your wedding, and... We also found out that it was them who leaked the information regarding your true condition and your marriage.”
Because he heard Marcus accuse Millie earlier, Derek could not help but feel a twinge of second-hand embarrassment for his superior.
Marcus scowled as he balled up his hands. They had just returned, but they had already sent him such a “generous gift.” Derek frowned, baffled by the circumstances.
“They were the ones who spread rumours about you being crippled after you got into a car accident five years ago. Now, they've announced that your disability was a sham all along. What are they doing, bringing shame upon themselves?”
Marcus drummed his fingers on the table.
“Five years ago, they fed the media false information about me being disabled in an effort to steal the Thomas Corporation from me, but their strategy didn’t work. Now, they’re trying to clear my name by saying | was never crippled. Then, they leaked information about me marrying an ugly, spiteful woman, making me the laughingstock of the country once again. Now, people will think that the respected CEO of the Thomas Corporation has been deceived by a woman. They're doing all of this to bring me down,” Marcus explained.
Derek nodded, finally understanding the situation.
“Keep the news from spreading further online. It’s annoying,” Marcus instructed. “Understood, sir,”

What the hell was happening to him? Was he losing his mind?
At the hospital, Rnea’s eyes glowed red with rage as soon as she heard the news.
Who in the world spread that information? It must have been Millie, the wicked ‘woman that she was, who was behind this. Now, everyone knew that Marcus and Millie were married.
The hurried and covert marriage was only meant to be temporary, but now, it had become public knowledge.
She took one look at the small wound she sustained, her lips forming a sneer. She swore that after she left the hospital, she wouldn't forgive Millie for this.
For now, she needed to buy a formal dress for Claudia’s upcoming birthday celebration.
