The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Miss Cartier, Are You Trying to Play with Me

Marion had faced off with Sally many times, but she had never won so thoroughly as she did today. In the past, she cared too much about Jameson, making it impossible for her to stay rational when confronting Sally. Despite knowing that Sally’s provocations were intentional, she could not help but fall into her trap every time

Now that she had awakened, Marion suddenly realized that Sally’s tricks were nothing special. She used to be so foolish! Thinking about Sally’s frustrated expression after hanging up the phone, Marion felt extremely pleased with herself

She put her phone down, turned off the lights, and lay back down. That night, Marion slept better than ever before. [2

In the morning, even Richard noticed that Marion looked exceptionally well. She even ate two extra buns for breakfast

Seeing her in high spirits, Richard finally felt relieved to go to work and handle the accumulated tasks over the past few days

Cassie had taken intermittent leave for a month to care for Marion. Today, despite Marion’s insistence, she decided not to extend her leave and returned to work.

Marion finished her breakfast and went straight to the piano room. She had been lying in bed for over a month, and her hands felt almost rusty. [

Touching her beloved piano, she quickly immersed herself in her world of melodies. If it were not for the sudden ringtone of her phone, Marion could have spent the entire morning in the musical world of her piano. [1

Stopping her movements, Marion picked up her phone. She frowned as she saw the unfamiliar 

number. Well, it seemed that Sally was undeterred

Sally, you’re quite persistent. If you’re so capable, why don’t you go register for your marriage with Jameson today!” 

Miss Cartier, it’s me.” 

A deep and mellow male voice came from the phone. Marion was startled, and her hand accidentally hit the piano, creating a loud clangthat startled the birds outside the window

Realizing her mistake, Marion felt a bit embarrassed. Mr. Craig?” 

I’m outside the villa, Miss Cartier.” 

Marion quickly wheeled her chair to the window and saw a Bentley parked downstairs

Mr. Craig, is there something you need?” 

She could not easily go downstairs due to her leg so she had to inquire first. However, as soon as she

finished speaking, Marion remembered why Lucas had come over

Lucas on the other end of the phone had also realized something. The male voice that spoke again sounded more indifferent: Miss Cartier, are you trying to play with me?” 

No, Mr. Craig, please listen to me. I can explain-”

Explain what exactly. That she had a momentary lapse of judgment? That she just wanted to provoke 

Jameson. However, as she was about to speak, Marion felt that she was going too far

Although she did not know what had gotten into Lucas, he was indeed very serious about compensatingher

So, Miss Cartier, are you playing with me?” 

The man’s voice came again, and Marion nervously denied, No, II’ll go get my ID right away.£23 

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Lucas’s voice behind her, Miss Cartier, you have difficulty moving with your leg, I think you might need my help.” 

Marion felt a sense of guilt. She was not sure why Lucas had suddenly become so serious, but it seemed like he was not coming to help her; instead, he was here to keep an eye on her so that she would get her ID

After Lucas spoke, he went over and lifted her

The scent of sandalwood emanated from the man, and Marion instinctively hugged Lucas’s neck. Lucas stood up straight, glanced down at her, and said casually, Wheelchairs are too troublesome.With that, he carried her out, asking, Miss Cartier, where is your household registration book?In my room,Marion replied in a daze, staring blankly at the man’s jawline so close to her. For a moment, she forgot how to react, just responding to whatever he asked

Watching Lucas put the household registration book into his pocket, Marion wanted to say something. However, as his dark eyes looked down at her, she swallowed nervously and hesitated

How could she dare to play with him
