Chapter 105 I’m Looking for You
Marion practiced the piano for two hours, and her hands were sore. She reached for her phone and
thought of surfing the internet and catching up on the latest online trends.
As she picked up her phone, Marion noticed she received a text message about her bank card.
[Your card ending in 9987 received an incoming transfer from Industrial and Commercial Bank of
Mystara on July 10th, totaling USD 100,100,000.00. The counterparty’s account name is…]
Was she dreaming?
Marion’s hands trembled as she held the phone. She attempted to take screenshots several times
before successfully capturing the message. Sending the screenshot to Cassie took multiple attempts
as well.
Marion: [Cas, quickly help me check. Is this one hundred million dollars?]
Cassie: [Did Lucas really transfer one hundred million dollars to you?]
Cassie: [Too many zeros. Let me count it again!
Cassie: [Counted eight times. It’s one hundred million! Did you manage to get your husband to
reimburse you? I swear, I was just kidding… Damn, that’s a lot of money! Why did Mr. Craig transfer
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtone hundred million to you so casually, as if he’s giving you 1000 bucks?]
Cassie: [I’m sorry. Did I just insult 1000 bucks?]
Marion: [He might have misunderstood me. I’ll go talk to him!]
Cassie: [Jokes aside, with such a large sum of money, it’s indeed necessary to clarify!]
Marion: [On my way.]
Marion was genuinely surprised by the large sum and felt like screaming with joy. One hundred million!
Honestly, she had never seen so much money in her life.
However, despite the excitement, she could not accept the money. While she had a fascination with.
wealth, she was not greedy. Marion knew very well the nature of her relationship with Lucas.
Checking the time, Marion realized it was already past three in the afternoon.
Lucas would probably be taking a nap. But holding so much money that did not belong to her, made
Marion feel uneasy. She decided to go and check on him anyway.
As she exited the music room, Marion made her way to the ground floor. Lucas was no longer on the
first floor, and Mrs. Bailey had likely gone for her midday rest, leaving the entire villa quiet.
Guessing that Lucas was taking a nap, Marion reluctantly went upstairs with her phone. Perhaps she
could take a short nap in her room as well.
Before reaching her room, the master bedroom door suddenly opened. Lucas stood behind it.

“Finished practicing the piano?”

He had changed into a new outfit, wearing a black satin shirt that draped gracefully over his body. The
smooth satin accentuated his features. He was undoubtedly a handsome and noble gentleman.
Marion was momentarily captivated by the sight. As she regained her composure, she lightly pinched
the rabbit ears on her phone case, feeling too shy to meet Lucas’s gaze directly.
“Yes, I’m done.”
“Planning to take a nap?”
She nodded and, afraid of any misunderstandings, added, “I was looking for you.”
“Oh?”

curiosity.
Lucas released the doorknob, “Shall we discuss it inside?”
That did not seem quite right. As if guided by some invisible force, Marion had already taken a step
forward with her left leg. She had no choice but to keep moving.
Lucas had turned back, and the master bedroom was quite spacious, if somewhat empty. There was a
small adjoining room with a set of black leather sofas.
As soon as Marion entered, she noticed an opened bottle of red wine on the table, with a single glass
of unfinished wine. She instinctively glanced at Lucas, and her gaze landed on his thin, enticing lips,
now stained with the color of grapes.
“Care for a drink?” Lucas sat down and then pointed to the red wine on the table.
Marion, prompted by his question, immediately remembered the scene from last night when she had
clung to Lucas, asking for a hug. Standing there, she blushed furiously. “No, thank you.”
Another round of drinking, and she would not survive the evening.
