Chapter 165 Has Marion Gone Crazy?
When Marion spoke, Veronica’s expression noticeably changed. She initially thought that, in front of so
many people and with her amiable attitude, Marion would reluctantly agree, even if she was
displeased.
Marion did not play into those expectations at all. Even in the presence of so many people, she did not
show any social courtesy. The onlookers who had anticipated a spectacle, sighed collectively when
they heard Marion.
“Seriously? Is Marion that bold? After all, Veronica’s the stepmother of her husband. Shouldn’t Marion
show some respect, even if she dislikes her husband’s family?”
“What do you know? The relationship between Mr. Craig and his stepmother has always been strained.
Marion naturally wants to align herself with Mr. Craig.”
“But on such an occasion, even if there’s genuine discontent, refusing like this seems impolite and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdisrespectful, doesn’t it?”
“She’s confident. Look at that necklace around her neck. Do you think Lucas would let her feel
wronged?”
Though the murmurs were hushed, Veronica still heard them. However, having been a part of the Craig
family for over a decade, that kind of situation was not new to her.
She quickly regained her composure. “If you mind, then forget it. In that case, you can wander around
by yourself. Miss Alice has some important matters to discuss with Lucas.”
Alice who stood next to Veronica was also elegantly dressed.
As soon as Veronica finished speaking, Alice spoke. “Mr. Craig, you probably don’t mind relocating to a
more private area, do you?”
Lucas calmly glanced at her. “Sorry, I mind too.”
What an incredible team they made.
Alice raised an eyebrow but did not show her irritation. Instead, she shifted her gaze to Marion.
“Miss Marion, can I have a few words with you?”
Marion looked at Alice and earnestly countered, “If I say no, will you give up trying to talk to me?”
Alice kept her smile. “No, so Miss Marion, it’s better not to refuse me.”
Marion looked at Alice reluctantly. “Fine, I’ll endure what you have to say to me.”
Suddenly, laughter erupted from the onlookers.
Marion’s face felt warm. That was not her usual demeanor.
Was it because of Alice’s distinguished status?
Despite feeling embarrassed internally, Marion maintained a composed facade and turned to Lucas.” I’ll
excuse myself for a bit.”
Lucas furrowed his brows. He seemed reluctant. “Go ahead.”
Though he said so, he did not release her hand.
With so many people watching, Marion had no choice but to insist, “Honey, you can let go now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnly then did Lucas release his grip.
Marion shifted her gaze and looked at Alice. “Where do you want to talk?”
Alice pointed to the left. “There’s a garden over there. Let’s go.
“Okay.”
“I can’t believe it, is Marion crazy?”
“To be honest, Marion can’t compete with Alice. How can she be so confident?”
“I don’t know why, but I feel Marion is pretty cool.”
“Looks like Miss Alice is making her move. We might have another show to watch later.”
“Two women fighting over one man is a cliché, but I’m a sucker for drama!”
“Let’s go, enjoy the show!”
As Marion and Alice’s figures faded into the distance, the gossip among the crowd became more
unrestrained.
