Chapter 146 This Is Going Too Far
Althea had not expected her agent to abandon her.
She looked at Hailey’s departing figure. “Believe it or not, Hailey, I’ll hire someone immediately!”
As Hailey reached the door, she found Althea’s words amusing. “I’ve reached my limit, Miss Althea.
Your family connections should make it easier for Mr. Tommy Dicaprio to find you a capable manager.
Since you don’t need me anymore, just tell Mr. Tommy Dicaprio to replace me.”
Hailey had truly had enough! She opened the door and left without looking back.
“You….”
In reality, Althea had just been acting on impulse. When she saw Haileyi leaving, she felt a moment of
panic. But it was just for a moment.
Althea did not think too highly of Hailey.
Let her go!
She was not indispensable!
With no help from Alexander, her Twitter was flooded with nearly two hundred thousand negative
comments.
Althea could not bear the frustration. She posted her own entry on Twitter: [Miss Marion is indeed quite

offend. I was wrong.]
Althea’s Twitter post was dripping with sarcasm.
She
initially thought that playing the victim would resonate with the public, but it backfired. Even some of her
die-hard fans could not help but comment on how the interactions were going too far.
Althea’s popularity had taken a substantial hit.
Marion considered the situation settled, so she did not bother checking Twitter anymore and decided to
go to the music room to practice the piano.
However, as she was about to stand up, a knock on the door interrupted her. “It’s me.”
It was Lucas. Marion was momentarily stunned. She quickly stood up and went to open the door. “Mr.
Craig?”
“The agreement has been drafted. Would you like to take a look?”
The man stood tall and elegant, not holding anything in his hands.
“Oh, okay.” Marion followed him to the study. When they reached the stairs, she was surprised to see

“Mr. Price.”
“Madam.”
Daniel nodded and quickly found an excuse to leave.
Two hours ago, he received a sudden call from Lucas. He thought something was wrong with the
company but did not expect Lucas to ask him to draft an agreement. He was good at drafting
agreements. However, when he understood Lucas’s requirements, Daniel wondered whether he had
misheard Lucas.
Lucas did not give him time to process his request and stated exactly the contents of the agreement
for him to draft.
As Daniel studied Marion, he had his doubts. He did not show it and exchanged polite greetings with
her before he tactfully left.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarion quickly grasped the situation.
Daniel’s visit must have been to deliver the drafted agreement. She averted her gaze and followed
Lucas into the study.
Lucas handed the agreement to her. “Take a look.”
Marion took the agreement, and the first thing she noticed was the name, “Marriage Agreement.” It felt
strange, but she could not pinpoint exactly what made it odd.
She pursed her lips, and the first three articles of the agreement seemed reasonable. However, starting
from the fourth, she felt the nagging feeling that something was off again.
[4. Neither party shall have overly intimate contact with any member of the opposite sex.]
Marion looked at Lucas. “Mr. Craig, I don’t quite understand this clause.”
Lucas glanced at it calmly. “Overly intimate contact can easily become leverage for others. During our
collaboration, this clause is to avoid suspicion. Any issues with that?”
No issues at all.
Marion shook her head and pointed to the fifth clause. “What about this one?”
