Chapter 298 Prepared a Gift for Marion
Marion remembered Ruby and Jameson’s engagement banquet.
Lucas had been on a business trip for two days, and tomorrow was the engagement banquet.
Damn! She forgot to tell Lucas! Marion was frustrated and could not focus on practicing the piano. She
picked up her phone that was nestled into the nearby sofa and sought help from Cassie
[Cas! Tomorrow is Ruby and Jameson’s engagement banquet. I forgot to tell Lucas, and he’s currently
on a business trip…]
Cassie: [Oh, no!]
Clearly, Cassie found the situation dire. [Why don’t you pretend to be sick and not go? What’s the point
of going? Jameson might think you’re there to take him back!]
Marion: [But I bragged so much about attending the engagement.]
Cassie: [You should be fine going alone. No matter what they say, as long as you and Mr. Craig don’t

After chatting for a while, they could not find a good solution to Marion’s predicament.
In the end, Marion decided to go alone. She did not want to go, but she had already said so much that
day.
If she did not go, it would be humiliating for her.
‘Well, going alone would also be embarrassing!‘ Marion reminded herself.
But what else could she do? She could not ask Lucas to rush back just for her. Marion could not do
such a thing. She would rather endure the gossip.
Early the next morning, Marion got up and applied a facial mask. She would not ‘lose‘ without a fight!
At the same time, Ruby was also preparing for the engagement banquet. She stayed at the beauty
salon until past eleven, only taking a few bites of lunch to keep herself going.
Around three in the afternoon, Ruby began her makeup preparation. Jade could not help but ask Ruby.
“Is Marion really coming alone tonight?”
Ruby raised her eyebrows triumphantly, “Without a doubt!”
Ruby had a feeling that even if Lucas rushed back to Lumina City, Marion would still have to attend the
function by herself!
Ruby had prepared a gift for Marion!
Seeing no one around, Jade leaned closer and asked, “Why?”
Ruby did not intend to keep it a secret, “I contacted Amber.”
“Who is Amber?”
“Some time ago, Amber was photographed with Lucas entering a hotel!”
Jade suddenly remembered, “But even Amber might not be able to hold onto Lucas, right?”
Ruby was confident. “Don’t bet on that! Amber’s mother and Lucas’s mother are best friends. When
Amber returned to the country last time, her mother entrusted Lucas to take care of her!”

Ruby paused for a moment, “Do you think, if something happened to Amber, Lucas would ignore it?”
Jade understood where Ruby’s train of thought was leading them. “That’s good!”
Ruby snorted, “Marion had humiliated me so it’s payback time!”
Marion sneezed several times in a row. She frowned. “Wonder who’s talking about me?”
Cassie on the video call snorted. “Apart from Ruby, who else? By the way, do you really not need me to
accompany you tonight?”
Marion shook her head, “I can go by myself. Otherwise, you’ll have to encounter your wicked ‘friend‘
again.”
Cassie disdainfully exclaimed, “I really don’t want to see her! Stay in touch tonight! Ruby is such a
venomous snake. She likes to bite people behind their backs!”
“Yeah, I have to hang up now. I need to get ready to go out!”
“Okay.”
