The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268 It’s Just An Act 

However, Marion did not face harsh criticism. Instead, she received compliments. 

Of course, she was aware that the news of her and Kirk had been trending for the past two days. 

Yesterday, after the entire day of rehearsal and her concert at night, she returned home to find Lucas still absent. 

She planned to shower and ask him about his absence when he returned. 

However, she ended up lying down and falling asleep within minutes, forgetting all about waiting for Lucas. 

She was so exhausted that she slept straight through to ten the next morning. When she woke up, her phone was buzzing with messages from Cassie and Alice. She did not think much of it, assuming it was related to the concert last night. 

She was too hungry to check her phone immediately, so she rushed to wash up before heading downstairs for breakfast. 

Mrs. Bailey brought out some eggs on toast as soon as she saw Marion. “Madam, Sir said he’d be back for lunch.” 

Marion was taken aback for a moment. “Oh, okay. Make sure you prepare his lunch today.” 

Without suspecting much, Marion took a bite of the eggs on toast and then checked the messages from Cassie and the others. 

Not only had Cassie messaged her, but Lucas had as well last night. 

However, he had messaged after she had fallen asleep, asking if she was home and if he should come pick her up. 

After staring at the chat box and hesitating, Marion eventually replied, [Sorry, Mr. Craig. I was too tired yesterday and fell asleep. I didn’t see your message.” 

Lucas was usually occupied at this time, so after sending the message, exited the conversation and started reading Cassie’s messages. 

Marion 

Around midnight last night, Cassie had sent her seven or eight messages, all about how Marion had unexpectedly become popular during Kirk’s concert and various screenshots. 

Cassie: [Hahaha, Marion, Kirk’s fans are shipping you and Kirk! It’s hilarious!} Cassie: [Seriously, the more I look at it, the more I ship the both of you! I’ve been 

brainwashed!] 

Then, around eight in the morning, Cassie sent another WeChat message with a screenshot. [Are you still asleep? Who is Amber Collins? Did Lucas not come to see you because of her?] 

Marion’s heart skipped a beat. She opened the screenshot, and the glaring text made her eyes ache. [Three months into Marion Cartier’s age with Lucas Craig, he spends the night with the charming lady.] 

The screenshot showed Lucas and a masked young woman getting out of a car and entering a hotel in the early hours. The time on the photo was 12:50 a.m. last night.
