Chapter 128 What Does Lucas Have in Mind?
“It might not have been my work at all but perhaps our combined effort helped.”
Miley did not immediately catch on and thought Lucas was being modest.
“Marion is undoubtedly amazing, but she’s just so low-key! Sometimes, being too circumspect isn’t a
good thing. Even very capable people can end up being bullied by others.”
Miley could not stand seeing Marion being mistreated, and once she started talking, she could not stop.
However, she had some self-awareness. “Sorry Mr. Craig, am I talking too much? I don’t mean
anything by it. I just feel sorry for Marion.”
“I also feel sorry for my wife. Miss Miley, in the future, if you encounter such situations, feel free to
contact my secretary, Daniel.”
“Is that okay? Wouldn’t it disturb you?”
“Not at all.”
Lucas handed Miley one of Daniel’s business cards. “This is Daniel’s number.”
Miley was pleasantly surprised, then she looked at Marion. “This time, I won’t listen to you, Marion, or
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou’ll keep getting bullied!”
Marion remained silent throughout their interaction.
Seeing Miley’s grateful look towards Lucas, Marion did not feel the need to explain. She could not help
but glance at the man beside her, thinking about what he said in the car earlier. Her heartbeat
inexplicably quickened.
Fight fire with fire.
So,
what did Lucas have in mind? Was he going to drive Althea away? Was that the only option?
“In the future, know that you don’t have to endure things like this silently.”
Marion rolled her eyes. “I wasn’t enduring silently.”
Lucas glanced at her with a half-smile, “I believe the event planner you mentioned is here.”
Following his gaze, Marion saw Zoe coming out with her team. Feeling proud, she was about to speak
when a voice from the side interrupted, “You don’t have to make it difficult for yourself.”
Zoe quickly approached, “Miss Marion, I’m truly sorry. I just found out about the incident in the dressing
room. It’s my inadequate arrangement that caused you-”
Originally, Zoe’s focus was entirely on Marion. However, she stopped when she noticed the man
standing next to Marion. Unable to resist, Zoe glanced at him.
A look of recognition came over her face, and Zoe only then realized that the man was none other than
Lucas. “Mr. Craig?”

Zoe looked at Lucas in surprise.
Suddenly an urgent male voice came from behind, “Mr. Craig, why didn’t you inform me when you
arrived? I could have arranged a seat for you. I was not expecting you!”
The person who came was none other than Mr. Argos, the organizer of the charity event.
For Mr. Argos to personally make an appearance, Zoe knew that the situation would not be easy to

Sure enough, just as Zoe had the thought, Lucas spoke, “Not to worry, Mr. Argos. I just came to see my
wife’s performance. However, she mentioned that her performance was canceled at the last minute, so
we are planning to leave.”
Hearing this, both Zoe and Mr. Argos became anxious.
“Mr. Craig, this is a misunderstanding!”
Mr. Argos did not know about what had happened, and he quickly looked at Zoe.
Zoe quickly explained, “Mr. Craig, it’s a misunderstanding regarding Mrs. Craig. It was my oversight
that caused trouble for her. Mrs. Craig is the highlight guest of our charity event this time. We cannot
cancel her performance.”
“Is that so?” Lucas casually responded. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Marion. “It seems there
is indeed a misunderstanding.”
He paused for a moment, then continued, “But I cannot tolerate the slightest grievance against my wife.
She came to participate in the charity event despite her foot injury, and as soon as I arrived, your staff
expelled us. Frankly, I can’t see how my wife is a priority guest for you. If your side lacks sincerity,
there’s no need for us to waste each other’s time.”
After that, Lucas took Marion’s hand and turned towards the car.
