The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 She Had Not Seen It Before

Lucas seemed to have gone to the study.

When Marion went upstairs earlier, she happened to see him entering the study. Marion headed straight to the study and knocked on the door, “Mr. Craig, are you in there?”

The

door was not tightly closed, and after just a couple of knocks, it opened slightly.

Worried about seeing something she should not, Marion reached out to pull the door close.

Alice stood up from the sofa and looked at Lucas. “Lucas, I was thinking-

Before she could finish her sentence, Lucas coldly interrupted her, “There’s nothing, for us to discuss, Miss Alice. I don’t want my wife to misunderstand.”

After saying that, he glanced towards the door, clearly indicating that she should leave.
