Chapter 169 Was It Really Over?

The surprised and incredulous individuals were not just limited to Veronica alone.

Even Marion, the person directly involved, began to question whether Alice’s brain had suffered from

her near-drowning experience.

Had she not orchestrated the whole scenario to frame Marion for pushing her into the water?

Was that not how it was written in s? Was that not how it was portrayed in TV dramas?

However, Alice was currently denying that Marion pushed her and, quite honestly, stating that Marion

had saved her life.

Marion stood behind Lucas, experiencing, for the first time in her life, a sense that her intelligence

might not be sufficient to grasp the situation.

Alice had draped a towel over her shoulders and glanced back at Marion who stood behind Lucas.

“I’m sorry for startling you, Mrs. Craig.”

A gust of wind blew, and she sneezed. Alice paused for a moment, then continued, “Please go change

your clothes. I’ll definitely come to thank you another day for tonight’s events!”

With that, she turned around and, supported by friends, left.

Marion, who had prepared herself for false accusations and insults, was left in confusion.

Was that it?

Was it over just like that?

Were there no further consequences?

At that moment, the eldest son and second son of the Hilton had rushed over upon hearing the news.

They watched as Alice left and then looked at Marion, whose hair was dripping wet.

The two brothers found it difficult to grasp. They had rushed over, one losing his shoe along the way,

fearing a conflict might erupt, only to find out that the incident had already concluded.

Was it really over?

The eldest son of the Hilton family reacted quickly. He instructed his younger brother to guide the

guests who came to watch the excitement back to the banquet hall and had someone take Marion to

change out of her water-drenched formal dress.

“This way, please, Mr. and Mrs. Craig.” The onlookers had scattered. Lucas turned around and

wrapped a towel around Marion. He then bent down and lifted her directly into his arms.

Marion, still bewildered by Alice’s unexpected twist, was caught off guard when Lucas suddenly

scooped her up. She remained dazed as she hooked her arms around the man’s neck.

As he carried her a few steps, she finally reacted, “I’m all wet…’

Lucas glanced down at her, “You can take a shower and change later.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

Well, her dress was soaked, and walking in it was not comfortable. Despite drawing attention by being

carried that way, it was still better than walking away awkwardly.

Marion and Lucas were quickly led to a presidential suite. The person who led them opened the door,”

Mr. and Mrs. Craig, a new evening gown will be delivered shortly.”

Lucas carried Marion directly into the bathroom. The person at the door tactfully closed it, and then

arranged for the gown to be sent up. Lucas placed her on the vanity. Marion was conscious of the fact

that Lucas’s coat, draped over her, was now mostly wet.

She took it off and handed it to him, feeling embarrassed, “You can’t wear this anymore.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

He turned on the shower and adjusted the water temperature. Seated on the bathroom counter, Marion

watched the man who was helping her with the water. Her gaze fell to Lucas’s waist, and she could not

help but swallow nervously.

He was so slender.

But he looked so powerful.

‘It must be great to hold onto such a waist, right?’ She asked herself.

Realizing what she was thinking, Marion’s face turned red. Lucas finished adjusting the water,

set.”

He turned around, only to see Marion in her soaking, snug

dress.

It clung tightly to her, silently extending an invitation to him.
