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. 2 

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. [1 

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 “clang” that 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 ” compensating” her. 

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