Chapter 430 Keeping It A Secret Doesn’t Seem Like A Good Idea
Seeing Nina’s message, Marion’s only thought was: when did Lucas find out she was JJ?
However, that could not be right. She always wore a mask during competitions and left right after without interviews.
Due to that, despite consistently ranking first each year, JJ’s fame did not match that of competitors who showed their faces, even those placing second or third.
In fact, due to her low profile, she lacked commercial value, and there were times when she was not invited to certain competitions.
The organizers only paid attention to her this time because last year, a popular social media influencer snapped a picture of her leaving in a mask, sparking curiosity and increasing her following Earlier this year, that influencer’s casual mention of “Will JJ show her face tonight?” on his Twitter account further boosted her popularity, leading the organizers to focus on her again this year. Yet, besides Nina, no one else knew JJ’s true identity.
The contrast between playing the piano and jet skiing was even wider than that between classical and rock music, so how could Lucas possibly know she was JJ?
Amber said Lucas bought a jet ski, intending to give it to his sweetheart, but she and Lucas had never officially met before the car accident at the last wedding.
The Craigs were considered insignificant in Lumina City, and Shaun Craig was not one to network. Even Shaun and Lucas had little interaction, let alone her, so what kind of sweetheart was she to
Lucas?
However, that AR195 Lucas bought had indeed ended up in her hands.
Perhaps Lucas had no sweetheart, to begin with. Maybe Lucas did not know who JJ was, and he simply admired JJ’s jet skiing skills.
The more Marion thought about it, the more plausible it seemed!
Just as she was about to reply to Nina, her phone lit up again. Nina had sent another message. [JJ, did you see my message?]
Marion: [Yes, I did. Did he say anything else?]
Nina: [Just that he likes you.]
Marion pursed her lips. [Accept it and thank him for me.]
Nina: [Okay, got it. Are you going to join this competition?]
Marion had initially typed “No” but then deleted it, replacing it with this: [I declined the organizers‘ invitation a few days ago, but they said they’d keep a spot for me. Can you register for me? Tell them I’ll join this time.]
After sending the message, Marion added: (Oh, and this time, I might take off my mask.]
