Chapter 3
The Thomas family was set on tying the knot with some well-regarded family, and they had gone through several rounds of interviews and meetings with potential candidates before settling on Mia.
On the day of the wedding, the Thomas family sent only one car to pick up the bride from the Brown family’s home, and the ceremony itself was extremely simple. It was common knowledge that marrying into the Thomas family would elevate the Browns’ social standing.
However, no one thought that the Browns would have the guts to change the bride without the Thomases’ knowledge, successfully deceiving them.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Marcus, who had already met Mia before, did not realize he had married someone else until he got home from work and saw Millie's mask-clad face. ©
The servant carefully climbed the stairs with a tray of food in her hands. Upon spotting her, Celeste called to stop her. “Hey, where are you taking that?”
The servant answered shakily, “The bride asked me to bring her some food. She said she hasn’t eaten in three days and that if she doesn’t eat soon, she'll die of hunger here.”
“Is that all she knows how to do? Eat? What a pig!” Celeste spat, her tone dripping with disdain. Lowering her head, the servant asked, “Should | still bring this to her, then? She already fainted earlier due to hunger.”
Celeste did not respond. The servant waited for her to say something for a few seconds before climbing the rest of the steps to the second floor. She then exhaled a sigh of relief at the realization that Millie’s advice had actually worked.
Back on the first floor, Celeste’s phone, which was sitting on the coffee table, lit up. Her eyes widened when she saw the name displayed on the screen.
Millie's stepmother, Gianna Brown, was calling.
Celeste, her fury building, swiped her thumb angrily on the screen to accept the call.
“Gianna, you bitch! How dare you trick us? Just wait. I’ll have Marcus acquire all of your family’s holdings, and we won’t stop until your family is as poor as a rat!”

“This is a misunderstanding, Mrs. Thomas. It was all that damn Millie’s fault! That wicked woman drugged our food last night and knocked out our whole family. By the time we woke up, it was already too late. She has already married into your family while pretending to be Mia. Mrs. Thomas, if you want to blame someone, blame Millie. Please don’t take out your anger on us. We're innocent,” Gianna pleaded.
Shock overtook Celeste. Drugs? So, all of this was planned by Millie alone?
“shut up! I’ve had enough of your lies. You'd better start praying for your lives because your downfall will come soon,” Celeste snarled.
On the other end of the line, Gianna continued to explain herself. “Mrs. Thomas, | didn’t lie to you! It was all Millie’s fault. We're also victims here. Your family is the most prestigious and influential one in the town. We've always wanted to have a connection with you, so why would we throw away this chance?”
Mia’s miserable sobbing could be heard through the phone as well.
“Mom, Millie has ruined my life! How could she be so cruel to me? | hate her so much! I've always admired Marcus and dreamed of one day being his wife, but Millie took that chance away from me!” Mia cried bitterly.
“You're a bunch of idiots!”
