The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169 Was It Really Over?

The surprised and incredulous individuals were not just limited to Veronica alone.

Even Marion, the person directly involved, began to question whether Alice’s brain had suffered from her near-drowning experience.

Had she not orchestrated the whole scenario to frame Marion for pushing her into the water?

Was that not how it was written in novels? Was that not how it was portrayed in TV dramas?

However, Alice was currently denying that Marion pushed her and, quite honestly, stating that Marion had saved her life.

Marion stood behind Lucas, experiencing, for the first time in her life, a sense that her intelligence might not be sufficient to grasp the situation.

Alice had draped a towel over her shoulders and glanced back at Marion who stood behind Lucas.

“I’m sorry for startling you, Mrs. Craig.”

A gust of wind blew, and she sneezed. Alice paused for a moment, then continued, “Please go change your clothes. I’ll definitely come to thank you another day for tonight’s events!”

With that, she turned around and, supported by friends, left.

Marion, who had prepared herself for false accusations and insults, was left in confusion.

Was that it?

Was it over just like that?

Were there no further consequences?

At that moment, the eldest son and second son of the Hilton had rushed over upon hearing the news. They watched as Alice left and then looked at Marion, whose hair was dripping wet.

The two brothers found it difficult to grasp. They had rushed over, one losing his shoe along the way, fearing a conflict might erupt, only to find out that the incident had already concluded.

Was it really over?

The eldest son of the Hilton family reacted quickly. He instructed his younger brother to guide the guests who came to watch the excitement back to the banquet hall and had someone take Marion to change out of her water-drenched formal dress.
