The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129 I Protect Those Close to Me

Marion had not fully grasped the situation when Lucas began leading her back to the car.

The car was parked behind them, and as she watched the couple leave, Zoe’s determination intensified.

They had gone through so much, all in the hope of securing more donations for their organization.

Lucas’s presence meant she could likely secure a fixed donation to the Harmony Institute. It was a profitable deal.

Moreover, Marion’s connections and influence were not to be underestimated. If they let Marion leave, the consequences would depend on how Lucas framed the situation externally.

Lucas’s attitude now made it clear that he intended to seek an explanation for Marion.

Zoe made her decision and promptly instructed her assistant to summon the staff responsible for the dressing room.

She approached Lucas and Marion, and spoke quickly, “Mr. and Mrs. Craig, could you give us another chance? I’ve already asked my assistant to contact the staff from the dressing room to apologize to Miss Marion. The performance is about to start in less than half an hour, and Miss Marion, you’re the finale. Can we discuss how we can reach an understanding in this matter?”

Quick to grasp the situation, Mr. Argos also chimed in, “Mr. Craig, rest assured. We will strive to resolve this incident! Look, the sun is scorching today. Shall we go inside to talk?”

Zoe and Mr. Argos alone may have easily swayed Marion. However, Lucas was a different type of person.

Public opinion about him was divided, with some dubbing him the ‘Hades’ of the business world. The notion of ‘personal favor’ did not hold water with him.

Lucas remained impassive, not reacting to their words.

He spoke bluntly as he held Marion’s hand, and pinpointed the key issue in the incident, “As far as I know, the decision to remove my wife wasn’t solely the idea of your staff.”

The driver handed Lucas an umbrella, which he accepted and held above Marion’s head.
