The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266 He Didn’t Come 

Miley had been waiting backstage for Marion for almost 20 minutes. They had agreed that Marion would be back in 10 minutes, but as the time ticked down to just four songs before her performance, Miley rushed out to find her. 

To her surprise, she spotted Marion chatting with Alice a few steps into the corridor. 

“Why are you two standing here?” Miley asked. 

Seeing Miley, Marion sighed in relief. “Is it time for me to get changed?” 

As she spoke, she winked at Miley. 

It was the first time Miley received that secret signal from Marion, and she took a moment to respond. 

However, having worked together for many years, Miley snapped back to reality after a brief pause. “Oh, yes. The director has told you to get changed and stand by!” 

Alice, hearing that, did not want to hold up Marion any longer. “In that case, go! I’ll head back to the audience and wait for you to go on stage!” 

Marion nodded repeatedly. “Okay, okay. Be careful on your way out!” 

Alice waved her sign and happily returned to her seat in the audience. 

As soon as Alice was out of sight, Miley asked, “What’s going on?” 

Marion rolled her eyes. “Don’t even mention it. She insisted on gifting me a dress!

“Just accept it. How much can a dress cost?” 

“She wants to gift me the ‘Starry Night‘ dress I’m wearing tonight.” 

“A dress worth 280 thousand dollars?” 

Marion huffed. “That’s nothing compared to the piano she bought me in the middle of the night for 400 thousand dollars.” 

Miley was baffled. “Did you save her life or something?” 

“Oh, I forgot. I did save her life!” 

Miley could not help but glance in the direction Alice left. “These rich people really do have unique ways of repaying favors.” 

“It’s just too straightforward. I can’t handle it.” 

Earlier, after Alice bought her a dress worth over 10 thousand, she insisted Marion pick a handbag. However, Marion did not dare to pick one when she saw the price of the bag. 

She had to change the subject, but Alice suddenly asked, “By the way, is the dress you’re wearing today from Mystara House’s haute couture collection? Did Kirk borrow it from them? It looks so good on you. Let me buy it for you.” 

Marion was dumbfounded. 

Every time they met, Alice seemed to be implying she was filthy rich and that her money was up for grabs, which Marion found a bit hard to stomach. 

After some thought, Miley felt the same. “They say gifts blind the eyes. It’s best you restrain yourself.” 

To be honest, Marion was not that good at restraining herself. 

After all, who could resist beautiful dresses and gorgeous handbags? 

However, putting those thoughts aside, Marion quickly got changed in the dressing room. 

The makeup artist touched up her makeup, making her look sexy and cute. 

With time for two more songs, Marion was already waiting in the wings. 

Subconsciously, she glanced toward the audience. All 200 seats were still occupied, but she could not find that familiar face next to Alice and Cassie.
