The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66 She Was Not a Shield 

Lucas had gotten up to pull the wheelchair from the corner of the room when he saw the brand manager and Daniel. He raised his eyebrows. “Aren’t you leaving yet?” 

Daniel and the brand manager both stiffened for a moment, then quickly stood up. “We’re leaving now, Mr. and Mrs. Craig.” 

Marion was still not quite accustomed to being addressed as ‘Mrs. Craig‘ but she could not show it on her face. She pretended to smile calmly. “Alright, goodbye.” 

“Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Craig!” 

Once outside the private room, both the manager and Daniel breathed a sigh of relief. 

The manager turned back to glance into the room and then asked Daniel, “Is this Mrs. Craig the real deal?” 

Daniel knew exactly what the manager meant by ‘real in the context of his question. Many people thought Lucas was just using Marion as a shield when they heard about the marriage after Marion’s hospital discharge. 

But having followed Lucas for so many years, Daniel knew Lucas well enough. He did not bother with using someone as a shield. 

“One month before Mrs. Craig was discharged, Mr. Craig had me prepare their wedding house,” Daniel said vaguely in response to the manager’s question. 

“Good heavens!” 

The manager was so surprised that he almost cursed. He quickly wiped away the sweat that had appeared on his forehead. Fortunately, he had been respectful to Mrs. Craig otherwise, he might have found himself fired for having stepped on the wrong foot. 

Meanwhile in Kirk’s car. 

As soon as Kirk got into the car, Bruce berated him. 

“Have you gone crazy just now? Lucas deliberately brought Marion here today. Isn’t that obvious enough? And you dared to ask me for digestive pills! I might need them now because of the stress you gave me!” 

When Kirked had asked for the digestive pills, the look Lucas gave Kirk could have cut through steel. 

Kirk chuckled lightly. “Didn’t you notice?”

Bruce asked as anxiously he patted his chest. “Notice what?” 

“It’s very awkward between them.” 

Lucas had made several intimate gestures, yet Marion’s restraint was so evident. It was clear that they were not on the same wavelength. 

Bruce nearly choked on the water he was drinking. “I don’t know about Mr. and Mrs. Craig’s relationship, but I do know that it’s easier for Lucas to crush you than to squash an ant!” 

Bruce’s words were harsh. After all, Kirk’s achievements could not be easily suppressed. He was not dependent on popularity and his music was his 

livelihood. As long as he continued to create music, the entertainment industry could not easily silence him. 

But Kirk’s status was not easily attained. In ancient times, people would not confront the authorities, and in recent times, celebrities did not challenge their capital investors. 

Lucas’s capital was no joke. If Kirk provoked Lucas, the former would be in serious trouble.
