Chapter 183 How Are You Feeling?
At the same time, the “Lumina Four” WhatsApp group on Lucas’s phone exploded.
Martin: [What’s going on? Alice has been thanking your wife all over the internet! @Lucas]
Preston: [I heard that Alice’s crush is your wife… @Lucas]
Tobias: [The Transcendent seems to pale in comparison to Alice’s gratitude across the internet. @
Lucas]
Martin: [@Lucas Alice is making such a big fuss just to thank Marion. It’s really hard not to her true
intentions toward Marion!]
Martin: [@Lucas How are you feeling, Lucky Luke?]
‘What feelings?’ Lucas thought to himself.

Lucas threw his phone aside, left his room then walked to the door of the guest bedroom, and raised
his hand to knock.
Marion was still in a daze when she heard the knocking. She raised her head blankly for a few

Standing at the door, as expected, was Lucas. He looked straight at her, “Did you see Alice’s thank-
you statement?”
Marion blinked, her ears slightly reddening, “I saw it.”
For some reason, she felt embarrassed.
“Yeah.”
Lucas casually responded, “I think you’re right. That thirty million should indeed be returned.
“Oh? Okay!”
Marion had not made the connection when she first heard it. It was only when she heard the ‘thirty
million’ that she understood Lucas’s meaning.
“Can you
Can you help me return the check?”
Mainly because she was not familiar with Alice. Seeing Alice making such a big fuss, Marion also felt
that the check was like a bad omen in her hands.
“Yeah.”
Lucas did not refuse. Marion quickly turned around and took out the check.
Then, as if discarding a hot potato, she handed the check to Lucas, “Thank you for your trouble, Mr.
Craig!”
As her fingertip brushed across the back of the man’s hand, a clear woody fragrance rose to Marion’s
nose. She suddenly realized that her actions were a bit intimate.
She quickly took a step back, glanced at Lucas, and saw him with a calm expression. Marion secretly
breathed a sigh of relief.
Lucas lowered his head to look at the check.
Then, right in front of Marion, he leisurely tore the check into pieces.
Marion realized that tearing the check was enough. It was not cash that had to be returned.
Oh, she had indeed been temporarily bewitched by the thirty million that she forgot about that!
After tearing up the check, Lucas glanced at the side, found the trash can, walked over, and threw the
shredded paper into it.

Marion was not one to eagerly accept gifts. She did not like taking advantage of others in the first
place. Hearing his words, she nodded in agreement, “Mm-hmm.”
Lucas looked at her curiously. He restrained himself from reaching out to pat her head, “I will buy you
whatever you want.”
Marion shook her head, “Whatever I want, I can buy for myself.”
Lucas, rarely facing consecutive rejections, seemed slightly displeased. “Hmm.” He turned to leave.
However, Marion thought of the Transcendent. She wanted to return the necklace!
“Hold on, Mr. Craig!”
“Is there anything else?”
As he turned back, his black eyes gazed at her, waiting for her to speak.
Facing that gaze, Marion spoke solemnly, “So, I really can’t accept that necklace.”
Lucas was silent for a moment, “I understand.” After saying that, he left her room.
As she watched Lucas’s departing figure, Marion blinked in confusion. Was it her illusion? Why did she
feel like Lucas seemed angry again?
