Chapter 53 A Newly Acquired Skill
The online controversy lasted for several days, and Jameson and Sally were severely criticized by
netizens. The Royces had become a running joke, and Marion could not help but throw in some
sarcastic remarks.
Coincidentally, Marion came across a sarcastic post in her friend’s circle that had not been properly
categorized. The overflow of sarcastic comments caught Marion’s eye.
[Some people are just lucky. They had a lousy hand, but someone picked them up, and now they’ve
got a good hand. Meanwhile, the other two who played the game together are now getting lambasted.
In matters of love there’s never an absolute right or wrong.]
Marion used to be quite mild–mannered, but for some reason, she found herself engaging in an online
exchange with Sally. She felt that her temper had grown considerably.
The other party had not properly categorized their post, whether intentional or not, Marion did not care.
When she saw the post, she commented without hesitation. “Got it. So you’ve just got bad luck.”

had beaten her to it. When she read Marion’s comment, Cassie almost burst out laughing.
Following Marion’s lead, Cassie added, “I got it too. You’ve definitely got bad luck.

Marion was about to put down her phone when she received a message from Cassie: [Hahaha! Mar,
how did you become so fierce? Look at Kimberly. She’s too scared to say anything now! She even
deleted the post! Hilarious!]
[It’s a newly acquired skill.] Marion replied.
She was not someone to mess with.
[It’s an amazing skill!]
Marion did not continue to chat with Cassie as she had promised to record an accompaniment for
someone and had just received the sheet music. She needed to familiarize herself with it as she had to
go for the recording session the next day.
In the evening, when Richard returned home, Marion took the initiative to bring up the events of the
previous night. Although Marion had been raised by Richard,

there were still certain matters that were not easy to discuss between father and daughter. Especially
considering the differences between genders.
Marion was aware of Richard’s concerns and avoided eye contact as she hesitantly broached the topic.
“He slept in the study last night.”
Richard breathed a small sigh of relief. While the two of them were legally married, Marion had just
broken up with Jameson and was still emotionally affected. It was not the right time for certain things to
happen.
Feeling awkward, Richard added, “Even though I don’t know the details between you and Lucas, I can
see that Lucas cares for you much more than Jameson did. Marriage requires mutual support and
understanding. If you have any conflicts, remember to talk about them with each other.”

Richard was emotional as he spoke. “Now that you’re grown up and married, I feel a sense of closure
regarding your mother.”
Marion was moved, and as she looked into her father’s eyes, her own eyes filled with tears.
“Dad, I will be happy!”
“Absolutely!”
After dinner, Marion practiced the accompaniment a few more times. It was not until 10 PM that she
returned to her room on her crutches.
After a shower, she chatted with Cassie on WhatsApp for a while before drifting off to sleep.
On the same night, someone else struggled to sleep through the night.
In a private room, the man sitting in the corner of the sofa had already moved on to his third bottle of
red wine. Patrick could not persuade Jameson any longer. As he watched Jameson slump to the floor,
Patrick furrowed his brow. He walked over to Jameson and snatched the wine glass from him. “Stop
drinking!”
Jameson pushed Patrick away. “Mind your own business!”
