Chapter 104 She Can’t Stand It!
Just when Marion thought the captivating man was not paying attention to her question, he calmly
spoke, “You’re right. I’ll have Daniel organize the information and give it to you later.”
Could he not have said that earlier? Was it necessary to be so serious? Of course, Marion dared not
say
that.
“Alright,” she nodded with a smile and looked at the watermelon and grapes in front of her.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to take them. “I’m going to the music room to practice the
piano. I ate a bit too much, I need to burn some calories.”
Lucas glanced at the plate of watermelon in her hands and nodded,
Marion was afraid that he might hug her again so she quickly walked to the stairs, holding onto the
railing as she ascended.
Mr. Craig was too enthusiastic and she was overwhelmed.

Seeing the caller ID, his black eyes instantly cooled down. Lucas picked up the phone, reluctantly
answering, a hint of impatience in his features.
He remained silent as a harsh, rough male voice came from the other end. “Are you going to marry
Marion?”
“You’re mistaken. I’m already married to her.”
“You’re kidding! The Craig family won’t allow such a woman to marry into the family!”
“She entered my house, not the Craig family’s.”
A string of angry words quickly followed on the other end of the phone. Lucas looked out of the window
and watched the sunlight. “If it’s nothing important I’m hanging up.”
With that, he ended the call.
Arthur heard the busy signal from his phone and angrily pounded his desk.
Veronica entered with a tray of tea and noticed his displeased expression.
“Have a cup of tea to calm down.”
“Now that he’s powerful, he disregards my words!”
Veronica, recalling the encounter with Marion that morning, also looked displeased.
“Marion is quite audacious!”
Arthur became even more infuriated at her words. “I’d like to meet this Marion!”

“No, you can’t!” Veronica hastily advised him.
“You know Lucas’s temper. I’ve probably already angered him by going to see her today. If you go meet
Marion now, be careful. He might confront you,”
While still angry, Arthur acknowledged the truth in Veronica’s words. “Should I just let this Marion marry
into the family?”
Veronica pursed her lips. “I do have an idea.”

Ten minutes later, Veronica left the study. Coincidentally, she ran into Phillip on his way in.
“Don’t go looking for your dad now. He’s upset!”
Phillip furrowed his brows. “Is it because of Lucas again?”
Veronica gave him a playful punch. “Calling him ‘Lucas‘? Is that your brother?”
Philip stiffened, “I don’t have a brother like that!”
Not wanting to argue with Veronica, he changed the topic. “Mom, did you meet that woman today?
What is she like?”
Veronica glared at him. “She has a name, you know. Stop with ‘this woman‘ and ‘that woman.‘ You
make it sound like your brother married some random woman on the street.”
Philip sneered. “He picked up a woman abandoned by Jameson. Isn’t that as random as it gets?”
Veronica feigned a gasp. “Phillip!”
“I’m not talking to you. I’m going to find Dad!”
Then Philip darted past Veronica.
