Chapter 299 What a Scumbag!
Marion dressed elegantly for the occasion, and did not overdo her attire.
Regardless, it was the evening of Ruby and Jameson’s engagement banquet, and the one who should
steal the spotlight was Ruby.
As a guest, Marion did not want people to speculate that she deliberately dressed extravagantly to
attract attention because she still had feelings for Jameson.
She genuinely had no feelings for him! If it were not for her impulsive and boastful remarks that day,
she would not have shown up at the engagement ceremony.
Marion wore a light pink off–shoulder dress paired with silver sandals. She presented a sweet and
fresh appearance.
When the car stopped at the venue, she hesitated for a moment before sending a message to Lucas: [
Jameson and Ruby’s engagement ceremony today. I’m attending it.]
After sending the message, Marion felt like something was off. She quickly added another message: [I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdidn’t intentionally keep it from you. I genuinely forgot about it!]
Such trivial matters did not bother her at all.
Lucas did not reply. She put away her phone, took her small bag, and got out of the car.
The engagement banquet hosted by Jameson and Ruby had an impressive setup. Marion saw gigantic
standing signs for the couple right from the hotel entrance, and a red carpet adorned the way. Even the
staircase handrails were adorned with fresh flowers.
Walking straight and tall, Marion ascended the stairs and reached the entrance of the banquet hall.
Just as she handed over her invitation, Ruby came to greet her.
“You’re here,” Ruby said.
Jameson could not take his eyes off Marion. He had not realized how beautiful she was until they
separated. It was like putting on glasses for the first time, and the world suddenly became clearer.
Marion smiled and handed over her gift, “Congratulations to both of you.”
Following Ruby’s lead, Jade sneered at Marion. “Oh, Mrs. Craig! Is Mr. Craig busy today?”
Jameson, displeased with Jade’s words, furrowed his brow and said to Ruby, “How can your friend
speak like that?”
Ruby pinched Jade’s palm, signaling for her to stop. Jade reluctantly restrained herself. “Let me take
you inside, Mrs. Craig.‘
Marion had no intention of going with Jade. “No need for that. There are many guests today. Miss
Ruby, please go ahead and greet your guests. I’ll go in by myself. I’m familiar with this banquet hall.”

It was quite a coincidence. Three months ago, she and Jameson held their wedding in the very same
hotel and banquet hall. Three months later, Jameson and Ruby’s engagement banquet was also held
in the same place. What a scumbag!
“Let me take you inside, Marion!” Jameson let go of Ruby’s hand and walked up to Marion.
Marion instinctively stepped aside, “No need. I’m quite familiar with this place. Aren’t you familiar with
this place too?”

She looked at Jameson with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Jameson stiffened. By the time he regained his composure, Marion had already walked in.
Ruby suppressed her anger as she approached Jameson. “Marion has aiready gone in, Jameson.”
Jameson withdrew his gaze, glanced at Ruby, and said, “Did you deliberately choose this place for our
engagement?”
“What do you mean?” Ruby was puzzled.
Jameson did not want to argue with Ruby. “It’s nothing. Let’s go welcome the guests.”
He adjusted the bow tie around his neck and walked towards the entrance.
Ruby clenched her hands at her side as she watched Jameson. Then, she turned to Jade and said
something to her.
Jade instantly became excited as she listened to Ruby. “Don’t you worry! I’ll keep a close eye on it!”
Ruby nodded, “Go.”
Ruby wanted to see if Marion would still be known as Mrs. Craig after tonight.
