The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147 Is it Natural for the Rich?

“During the agreement period, if the second party encounters any difficulties, they should seek assistance from the first party at the earliest opportunity.” Lucas had the clause with a calm expression on his face.

“Since we are in a marital relationship, even if it’s a cooperative one, both legally and publicly, we are, in essence, a married couple.”

“As your legal husband, if you face difficulties; shouldn’t I be the first person to help you solve them? And as my legal wife, if you encounter any challenges, shouldn’t you seek my assistance immediately?

Lucas continued as he cast a glance at her.

“Miss Marion, I hope you understand that regardless of the nature of our relationship known only to us, in the eyes of others and according to the law, you are my wife – Mrs. Craig. If anything happens to you, I am the first one to be condemned and held responsible.”

He spoke unequivocally, his cool, dark eyes fixed on her. There was a hint of displeasure. Marion felt herself buckle under the weight of his gaze. “I’m sorry, I was wrong. I indeed… underestimated the

situation.”

She realized she had been naive, thinking that their relationship was just a façade.

Lucas’s explanation made her understand that he was right. The subsequent clauses, while mostly similar, no longer provoked doubt in Marion after Lucas pointed out the implications.

As she put herself in the role of ‘Mrs. Craig’, Marion found the rest of the agreement to be reasonable and justified.

She admired Lucas for leaving no room for mistakes in his actions. Looking at the contract from a long-term perspective, it seemed genuinely beneficial for both parties and could potentially prevent many troubles.

However, there was one point that Marion could not fully accept. “Mr. Craig, I’m sorry, at the risk of misunderstanding your intentions, could you please explain this particular clause?”

Marion, for the first time, began to doubt her comprehension skills, especially upon reviewing the

agreement.

Perhaps, she thought, it was because she had been out of school for so long.
