Chapter 427 What Was She Going To Do?
Marion bit her lip. “It’s nothing. I just got some junk text and got distracted for a second.”
Amber’s text was just junk, right? Even if Lucas did buy a jet ski, it was not for Amber. Why was she acting so arrogant?
Leave it to Cass to see through Amber’s game, and Marion was not falling for it either!
Shaking off her thoughts, Marion focused on the conversation with Miley.
Later that night, Marion, fresh from a shower, sat at her vanity when her phone lit up with a message
from Cassie. [Hey, have you heard from your bitch of a rival lately?]
With Lucas in the study sorting through urgent files, Marion was alone in the room.
She picked up her phone and sent back three question marks. [???]
Cassie typed back quickly. [I heard a rumor. I’m not sure if it’s true or not, so…]
Noticing Cassie’s unusual hesitation, Marion sent a picture of a meme that said, “Spill it.”
Cassie: [I heard Lucas bought a Yamaha AR195.]
Marion was speechless.
It seemed Cassie was quite the gossip, just like Amber!
Cassie: [So, is it true?]
Cassie: [First off, I’m just curious! Mr. Craig buying a jet ski… Does he really have a sweetheart?]
Perhaps to spare Marion’s feelings, Cassie quickly added: [But then again, who knows? Maybe it’s for you?]
Marion: [Do you believe that?]
It sounded ridiculous! There was no way Lucas would gift her a jet ski!
Cassie: [Well… it’s not impossible, is it?]
Marion smirked and sent Cassie a screenshot of the text Amber had sent today.
Cassie was shocked. [This bitch is stirring up trouble again! Honey, remember, no matter who the sweetheart is, you’re officially Mrs. Craig now!]
Marion felt a little frustrated: [But what if there is a sweetheart?]
Cassie remained silent, but deep down, she wanted to say, “In that case, you’re screwed!”
Before Cassie could reply with something more serious, Lucas pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing Lucas, Marion felt guilty and instinctively dropped her phone.
Lucas noticed her movement, his gaze flicking to her phone between her thighs and pausing briefly before returning to her face. He casually asked, “Are you done with your shower?”
Feeling guilty under his gaze, Marion nodded and shook her head in quick succession, realizing her mistake. “Yes, I’m done!”
“Alright, I’m going to shower.”
After looking at her for a moment, he headed to the closet and then straight to the bathroom.
As Marion watched the bathroom door close, she let out a sigh of relief, but a heavy feeling settled in
her chest.
It felt like someone had dropped a grain of sand inside her, making her uncomfortable. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
At that moment, her phone, hidden between her thighs, lit up.
She glanced down and saw a message from Cassie: [Just remember, you’re the one who’s legally
married to Lucas!]
Marion was not in the mood to reply, so she simply turned off her phone screen and flopped onto the bed nearby.
Be it sweetheart or whatsoever, what was she going to do?
