Chapter 115 It’s All Because of Marion
Acting, it was all just acting!
Marion took a deep breath to comfort herself. Lucas, on the other side of her, watched as a glint of
amusement flickered in his dark eyes. However, when his gaze met Arthur’s, the amusement
disappeared. A coldness took its place.
“I was genuinely concerned that she might get lost,” Lucas said as he faced Arthur.
“You-“Arthur gritted his teeth but ultimately restrained himself from saying anything.
Every corner of the luxurious mansion exuded opulence, even the dining table indicated it was no
ordinary setting.
Although the Cartier family did not possess such wealth, Marion, having followed her mentor, had
encountered some affluence.
She understood that in wealthy households, there were many rules. While dining etiquette may not be
extreme, personal manners during meals were still easily noticeable.
Marion, afraid of embarrassing Lucas, remained mostly silent after taking her seat. Arthur
completely disregarded Marion’s presence and shamelessly introduced Alice to Lucas. He even hinted

“Our families have been acquainted for a long time. Both your father and I hope that our family
relationship can progress further.”
Conscious of Alice’s presence, Arthur tried to give Lucas a chance by toning down his words.
As Lucas peeled his shrimp, he casually responded, “Your idea is excellent, but you should discuss it
with Phillip. Talking to me won’t change anything.”
“Lucas!”
Arthur raised his voice, evidently trying to control his anger.
Lucas placed the peeled shrimp into Marion’s bowl and continued, “Did I say something wrong? I’m
married, and the matter of an alliance is something you should discuss with Phillip, not me.”
Pausing for a moment, he finally gave Alice a meaningful glance. “Miss Alice, I assume you wouldn’t
want to break up someone else’s marriage, right?”
Alice had been harboring her resentment from being ignored by Lucas throughout the evening. Yes,
despite her frustration, she maintained her composure.
Lucas seemed to have shifted the blame to her, and Alice immediately turned to Marion. “A good
marriage can’t be broken, but a bad one doesn’t need breaking. It falls apart on its own, right, Miss
Marion?”
Though she had been eating quietly, Marion was not taken by surprise.

Despite keeping her head down, her purpose for that day was deeply ingrained in her mind.
Seeing the conflict turn toward her, Marion was subtly excited, “So, Miss Alice, are you aiming to be a
third party?”
Her words, though impolite, left no room for denial.
When Marion spoke, everyone’s expressions, except for Lucas, noticeably darkened. Arthur, in
particular, retorted, “Miss Marion, do you truly believe that by marrying Lucas, you’ve become part of
our family?”
Marion wiped her hands, looked up, and faced Arthur. “No, I don’t think that way. I married Lucas, not
the Craig family. I haven’t thought about the Craigs that much.”
“Heh, you talk better than you sing. Aren’t you marrying Lucas for his money?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Lucas is my husband. Is it illegal to want his money?”
Arthur was so angry that he ordered her to leave.
Lucas stood up and took Marion away.
The meal had turned into an uncomfortable affair.
Seeing the scene unfold, Alice also decided to make a move.
Concerned about Arthur’s health, Veronica had Ronald escort the guests out.
When Alice went out, Lucas and Marion had already gotten into the car.
As she stood at the Craig mansion’s entrance, she gritted her teeth, picked up her phone, and made a
call. “Check on Marion for me!”
“What’s wrong, Alice?”
The person on the other end asked with concern.
“I’m going to teach that woman a lesson!”
For the first time in her life, she had been humiliated, and it was all because of Marion!
