The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 You’ve Walked Right into My Trap

“Do you think I should be wearing it?”

Lucas looked at her and furrowed his brows.

Marion stared at him in bewilderment, “But… I don’t think this necklace suits me, either.”

A necklace worth millions? She dared not wear it so casually!

“Didn’t you wear it well tonight?” Lucas replied, seemingly unimpressed.

Marion hesitated, “Looking good in a casual setting is one thing, but tonight’s occasion is more formal. Besides—” She paused for a moment, “this necklace is too precious.”

Lucas, however, seemed unfazed, “The value of jewelry is assigned by people. It may be expensive, but when you wear it, it perfectly embodies its worth. If I give it to you, it can still showcase its value.”

“No, Mr. Craig, this necklace is really too precious, I-”

“If you don’t want it, just throw it away. Such a small amount of money is nothing to me.” Lucas cut her off mid-explanation.

Marion was forced to acknowledge the disparities in their worldview.

55 million dollars did not mean much to Lucas.

Marion watched his retreating figure, then looked down at the necklace in her hands, feeling like she resembled someone pursuing a rich man’s affection for the sake of his wealth.

Lucas had returned to his room.

The necklace felt too hot to handle, and after rummaging through her belongings, she found a jewelry

box to store it in.

With The Transcendent safely stowed away, Marion finally located her phone and messaged Cassie: [ Cass, Lucas just said The Transcendent was a gift for me.]

Cassie: [Didn’t you say he just wanted you to wear it?]

Marion still could not comprehend it: [But he came over with the necklace and said it was for me…]

Cassie: [I have a reasonable suspicion that you’re showing off your romance to me!!]

Marion: [No, listen to my explanation. I genuinely didn’t lie to you. I truly had no idea Lucas would give me the necklace! Holding a 55-million-dollar necklace puts me in a dilemma. I have no idea what to do!]
