Chapter 138 I’m Not a Doormat The thought of retaliating briefly crossed Marlon’s mind. However, the
focus was not really on whether she was impressive or not. The key information was that Althea was
eliminated from the charity performance that day. Marion promptly dialed Miley’s number. Miley
answered almost immediately. Clearly, Miley had been also planning to address the matter with Marion.
Miley had been quite upset since that morning: After Lucas helped Marion vent her frustration and
magically defeated Althea by removing her from the charity event, Miley finally calmed down. Little did
she expect that her anger would resurface so soon. Miley was not taking the online situation lightly.
Although she was Marion’s assistant and manager, she and Marion were of similar age, and she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtalways followed Marion’s lead. Over the years, there had been numerous opportunities in the
entertainment industry, tempting her with better offers, but Miley, loyal to Marion, never wavered. When
Marion won a major award last year, most would have seized the chance to gain publicity and accept
lucrative endorsements, but Miley respected Marion’s preference against a high-profile lifestyle. Instead
of seeking publicity, Miley used her connections to ensure that Marion’s achievements were
downplayed in the media. That day, for the first time in many years, someone had dared to bully
Marion. Without waiting for Marion to express her thoughts, Miley firmly stated, “Marion, I won’t let this
matter pass like this. It’s okay if you don’t like being in the limelight, but after all these years, it’s the first
time someone has dared to mistreat you so openly. “You don’t have to say anything. I am determined to
counterattack online. Even if I can’t ruin Althea’s reputation, I will make her drink a full cup of
bitterness!” Marion was about to ask Miley to prepare for a public relations counterattack, but after two
seconds of silence, Miley still had not heard Marion’s voice. She furrowed her brows. “Marion, what’s
on your mind? Say something.” Although Miley was not going to listen to Marion’s advice, she was still
willing to hear them out. Marion hesitated for a moment and said, “You’ve already said what I was
going to say. For a moment, I don’t know what else to add.” Miley was mentally prepared for Marion to
once again talk about handling things with a ‘bigger picture’ approach, but she seemed surprised by
Marion’s response. “Are you suggesting that we don’t resolve this privately” Chapter 138 I’m Not a

If she’s bet playing dirty with me like this, why should I resolve it privately?” Marion was not so
‘benevolent’. In the past, she kept many issues from being publicized by Miley because they were
internal matters within their social circle. Marion was not part of the entertainment industry, and there
was no need for her to expose herself to public scrutiny like other celebrities. Concerning the Althea
incident, it was not that she had suddenly become more open-minded. The main reason she did not
want to handle it privately was that it involved Althea. Althea was part of the entertainment industry, and
if Marion suppressed the incident, would it not be an indirect admission of guilt? Confirming that Marion
shared her perspective this time, Miley’s frustration quickly turned into excitement. “I won’t say anything
more for now. I’ll take care of this matter. I’ll immediately get the public relations team involved. Just
wait. I’ll make sure Althea, that ignorant little brat, apologizes to you in full view of everyone!” Chander
