Chapter 188 Bumping into the Enemy
Cassie had a look of triumph on her face.
As she looked at Marion with an air of authority, she said, “Moreover, Lucas is your legitimate husband.
What’s wrong with touching him? Even if you kiss him, he can only ‘endure’ it! Right?”
Marion’s face turned red. Cassie was right, but saying such things in public made her feel
uncomfortable.
Quickly changing the topic, she said, “You’re right! Anyway, why do you think Alice publicly expressed
her gratitude to me?”
As soon as Alice’s name was mentioned, Cassie’s attention shifted, “Speaking of which, Miss Alice is
so unpredictable.”
Marion breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At that point, the food had arrived. The two friends chatted about Alice’s incredible actions and
complained about some envious people in their social circle. They enjoyed their meal together.
Marion accidentally overindulged and felt uncomfortable with her stuffed stomach, “I think I’ve
eaten too much.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCassie, who had also overeaten, patted her slightly bulging belly, “I’ve eaten too much too!”
They exchanged a glance, understanding each other without words. They got up, paid the bill, and
decided to stroll around the mall.
Perhaps everyone else also shared the need to walk around the mall to ease their uncomfortable
tummies. After thoroughly exploring the sixth floor of the mall and enjoying another pleasant meal,
Marion and Cassie decided to head home around nine in the evening.
However, when they reached the entrance of the mall, they realized something was wrong. The
weather was fine when they entered, but now it was suddenly pouring rain. The clear path they had
walked in on was no longer accessible.
Marion glanced at Cassie, “How are you going to get back?”
Marion was not too concerned for herself. Worst case scenario, she could call her dad, and the driver
would pick her up.
“No problem. I’ll wait for the rain to stop before leaving,” Cassie replied, unconcerned. “What about
you? Is Lucas coming to pick you up?”
Marion shook her head, “He has a dinner appointment tonight.”
At that hour, Lucas’s dinner appointment probably had not ended yet.
Right after Marion finished speaking, a female voice interjected abruptly, “If he’s not coming, he’s not
coming. What’s with all this talk about a dinner appointment?”

The sarcastic tone in the woman’s voice was familiar.
Marion and Cassie both instinctively turned their heads to look to the side.
It was Ruby and her friend, Jade Johnson.
Marion was speechless. It was truly a case of an unfortunate encounter, running into the new lover of
an ex.
Jade glanced at Marion and deliberately asked Ruby, “Isn’t Jameson just back from a business trip
today? Can he come to pick you up?”
Ruby smiled faintly, “He’s already on his way.”
Cassie, observing the drama unfold, was ready to step in and give someone a piece of her mind.
Although Marion was angry too, many people were waiting there for the rain to stop and she did not

Ruby and Jade’s words may not have bothered others, but if Marion and Cassie went over and made a
scene, they would only become the subject of mockery.
“Let it
go,
Cas.”
“I have to go over there and shut her mouth!”
As soon as Cassie finished speaking, a black Mercedes pulled in. People waiting at the mall entrance
instinctively looked toward the car. Many looked envious.
“Wow! Wonder who’s so lucky for a Mercedes to come pick them up!”
“Damn, whose boyfriend is that? He’s so handsome!”
“Oh my God, isn’t this a scene from a drama?”
In the rain, Jameson walked over, holding a black umbrella. Cassie sneered, “Scumbag
Marion glanced at Jameson briefly and then averted her gaze. She had no interest in seeing Jameson
again. Every word spoken to him felt like a waste of her time.
Jameson quickly approached Ruby and Jade.
Most of the people who were curiously observing Jameson earlier now shifted their attention to Ruby.
