The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 224 I’m Sorry, | Won't Look Anymore

The car slowed down as the traffic light turned red. Marion, once again, glanced at Lucas just as he turned his head to look at her.

Their eyes met, and Marion’s mind went blank for a moment. Her ears turned red. “Is it nice?” Lucas asked with a slight movement in his dark eyes. “Uh... very nice,” Marion replied, wondering how else she could have looked at him.

Lucas pointed in the direction of the road and suggested, “Can you continue watching after we get home? It’s a bit distracting for me when you look at me while I’m driving. Safety first.”

Marion felt a momentary stupor. She pinched her own thigh, saying, “I’m sorry. | won’t look anymore.” ‘Oh gosh, so embarrassing!‘ she thought to herself.

However, as if Lucas knew what she was thinking, he suddenly chuckled, lifted his hand, and patted her head. “It’s okay. It’s not embarrassing. Everyone loves beauty.”

A faint woody fragrance accompanied the movement of his hand. Whether it was her imagination or not, Marion felt that Lucas’s gaze carried a hint of

satisfaction. ‘Satisfaction? ‘Marion, are you daydreaming?*

At that moment, her phone inside her bag vibrated a couple of times, successfully bringing Marion back to reality and alleviating some of the awkwardness. Simultaneously, the traffic light ahead turned green.

Lucas retracted his gaze, started the car, and continued driving forward. Marion took out her phone and found that it was a message from Alice.

Alice: [I'm sorry, really sorry. | had no idea someone would do such a thing to you! But don’t worry, | had security throw them out of my banquet hall.]

Did she throw people out of her party?

Was that not a bit too much?

Thinking back to Alice’s straightforward admission of liking her, Marion’s hand trembled, almost dropping her phone. Lucas, noticing her usual behavior, asked, “What's wrong?”

Marion glanced at him. “Miss Allee sent me an apology message,”

“Hmm?”

“She said she had security throw those two women out of her banquet hall,”

“Alice did the right thing.”

Marion rolled her eyes. “Isn’t that a bit too harsh?”

After all, in their social circle, and considering Marion was not a saint, the main concern was that the incident would likely trend on Twitter,

“When they were bullying you, did they consider whether it would hurt you?”

“Okay, okay, you're right.”

Yes, she was playing the saint again.

At that moment, her phone screen lit up again. Marion sighed in relief when she saw that it was not another message from Alice.

She opened the message from Cassie: [What happened tonight? | heard that Miss Alice threw two people out of the banquet for you!]

Then Cassie sent Marion a video.

Marion opened the video and watched for a few seconds before replying: [These two were making sarcastic remarks about me.] Cassie: [So, Miss Alice got angry on your behalf?]

Cassie: [Is Miss Alice really fond of you?]NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Marion: [Stop it, I'm scared!]

Cassie: [Something’s off. What are you scared of?] Marion: [Alice said she likes me!] Cassie: [What?]

Cassie: [You must be so charming to her!]

Marion: [...]

Even if that were true, she did not expect it to lead to Alice’s confession! Marion had not replied to Alice’s message yet. She did not know what to say. She was starting to regret jumping in to save Alice that day.

Won't Look Anymor

If she had known, she would have just let Alice be and then called for help!
