Chapter 129 I Protect Those Close to Me

Marion had not fully grasped the situation when Lucas began leading her back to the car.

The car was parked behind them, and as she watched the couple leave, Zoe’s determination

intensified.

They had gone through so much, all in the hope of securing more donations for their organization.

Lucas’s presence meant she could likely secure a fixed donation to the Harmony Institute. It was a

profitable deal.

Moreover, Marion’s connections and influence were not to be underestimated. If they let Marion leave,

the consequences would depend on how Lucas framed the situation externally.

Lucas’s attitude now made it clear that he intended to seek an explanation for Marion.

Zoe made her decision and promptly instructed her assistant to summon the staff responsible for the

dressing room.

She approached Lucas and Marion, and spoke quickly, “Mr. and Mrs. Craig, could you give us another

chance? I’ve already asked my assistant to contact the staff from the dressing room to apologize to

Miss Marion. The performance is about to start in less than half an hour, and Miss Marion, you’re the

finale. Can we discuss how we can reach an understanding in this matter?”

Quick to grasp the situation, Mr. Argos also chimed in, “Mr. Craig, rest assured. We will strive to resolve

this incident! Look, the sun is scorching today. Shall we go inside to talk?”

Zoe and Mr. Argos alone may have easily swayed Marion. However, Lucas was a different type of

person.

Public opinion about him was divided, with some dubbing him the ‘Hades’ of the business world. The

notion of ‘personal favor’ did not hold water with him.

Lucas remained impassive, not reacting to their words.

He spoke bluntly as he held Marion’s hand, and pinpointed the key issue in the incident, “As far as I

know, the decision to remove my wife wasn’t solely the idea of your staff.”

The driver handed Lucas an umbrella, which he accepted and held above Marion’s head.

“It’s very hot. Do you want to wait in the car?” His tone when speaking to Marion was completely

different from how he addressed Zoe and Mr. Argos.

His deep and mellow voice, cold yet gentle, enveloped Marion as soon as he spoke.

Marion instinctively curled her finger, as she felt the warmth rise on the back of her neck as if a fire had

been ignited there.

The warmth extended from her neck to her cheeks and head, leaving her feeling flushed.

Marion looked up at Lucas, and her gaze met his black eyes. Her heart fluttered and her face turned

slightly red. “It’s okay, not too sunny,” she said.

Then she realized that she might have spoken too soon.

Lucas had set the stage for her response, but she failed to follow through.

Wanting to rectify the situation and avoid confrontation, she tried to find the right words, but Lucas

seemed unaffected.

He calmly acknowledged her comment, then looked towards Zoe and the others, his expression more

subdued.

“Mr. Argos is right. It’s scorching out here. Let me get straight to the point. I’m protective of my wife,

and though she has a good temper, mine isn’t quite as good. I’ll provide only one solution to resolve

this matter. The singer who forced my wife out should leave, and your staff should publicly apologize to

my wife.”

Zoe was taken aback. “Mr. Craig, our charity event is quite significant, and Althea has a large fan base.

Suddenly replacing her might not be good for Mrs. Craig either.”

Lucas did not offer a second choice. “Then you’ll just have to find someone else to take her place.”
