The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302 Why Not? 

Jameson wanted to argue, but as he glanced at Marion inside the car, he realized that he was at a loss for words. 

Three months ago, he ran away for Sally’s sake, and now he had intended to escape Ruby for Marion. Yet he knew that if he did not return to the banquet hall for the engagement ceremony, Marion would become the target of public criticism. 

Lucas had hit the nail on its head with his accusations. Jameson could not bring himself to look at Marion. He felt like a big joke. 

Lucas snorted coldly, circled to the driver’s side, and got in. Marion had already fastened her seatbelt while she waited for him. 

Lucas looked into her round eyes and could not resist reaching over to pat her gently on the head, ” We’re heading home now.” 

Marion blinked at his words as she felt the heat rise on her face. “Yeah, let’s go home.” 

It had been a chaotic evening, one she did not want to linger in. 

“Alright.” 

Lucas started the car, pulled out of the parking space, then slowly exited the hotel entrance. The black Bentley turned out of the hotel gate and then sped off down the road. 

Jameson lacked the courage to chase after them. He watched till he could no longer see the Bentley, then turned around and went back inside. 

The second–floor banquet hall was in chaos. Backstage, Ruby’s face was pale and cold as she sat on the makeup chair. She said nothing, only betraying her emotions through the grip of her phone. 

The Royce and the Black family wore stoic expressions of their own. 

Jameson knocked on the door, “Sorry, had a stomachache just now.” 

Ruby heard his voice, looked up at Jameson, and pursed her lips. She stood up, suppressed her emotions, and asked, “How are you feeling now?” 

“Much better. We should be able to finish the ceremony without a problem.” 

Despite his words, Jameson did not look happy and he seemed drained. 

His excuse provided the Black family with a reason to proceed with the engagement ceremony. Jameson’s cover story was a little suspicious, but it was better than him running away. In the end, Ruby chose to complete the ceremony. 

However, when the two returned to the scene, most of the guests had already left. The engagement party was a mess, and although it did not escalate to an uncontrollable point, the fifteen minutes of blank time in the middle was enough for everyone to gossip about.

Afterward, the Royce and the Black family jointly released a statement, explaining that the sudden halt of the engagement party was due to Jameson’s sudden health discomfort, and they requested understanding from everyone. Naturally, not many people believed the explanation, but the specific reasons remained unknownL 

Seeing the screenshots Cassie sent her, Marion could not help but roll her eyes, “They’re really good at making up stories!” 

Cassie: [So, this scumbag Jameson tried to escape the wedding to go after you?] 

Marion: [Don’t even mention him to me. I feel jinxed!] 

Cassie: [Alright, alright, I won’t bring it up again!] 

Marion: [Enough talking, I want some late–night snacks!] 

She had not dared to eat anything at the banquet as she was afraid that Ruby might play a trick on her during the engagement party. Just shortly after leaving the hall, she felt hungry. 

In the quiet, narrow car compartment, her stomach grumbled mournfully, and Marion wished she could jump out of the car. 

Then, Lucas took her to a barbecue stall. 

Marion took the skewer Lucas handed her, “Can you eat this?” 

If she remembered correctly, Lucas had issues with cleanliness. 

He glanced at her, “Why not?”
