Chapter 7 How Long Can Marion Endure?
Marion walked over to Richard. When Richard noticed Jameson and Sally, his smile instantly faded.
Marion tugged at his sleeve, “Dad, I want to go home.”
Richard lowered his head to look at his daughter, his eyes slightly moist, “Alright, alright, let’s go home.
Dad will take you home!”
Jameson, who originally wanted to catch up to them, looked at Sally, who was still apologizing and
could only stop in his tracks.
“Jameson, I’m
sorry, I know I’m a burden!”
Hearing her words, Jameson felt some resentment towards Marion, “It’s not your fault. She’s the one
who went too far!”
Depression is not what Sally wished for! Moreover, if it were not for Marion back then, Sally would not
have become like this!

another breakdown, he decided not to mention Marion anymore, “You took an early morning flight. You
must be tired. Let me take you back to the hotel for some rest.”
Sally looked at Jameson cautiously and nodded obediently, “Okay.”
However, in the unseen corners of her face, a smug smile appeared. There was no hint of weakness or
obedience.
Marion’s release from the hospital should have been a joyous occasion, but encountering Sally and
Jameson at the entrance made even Cassie feel ominous.
In recent days, due to concerns for Marion, Richard has already postponed quite a few matters in the
company. After escorting Marion back home, he hurriedly returned to the company for a meeting.
Upon returning home, Marion asked Cassie for help in preparing a bath for her. During her month- long
stay at the hospital, she had not had the chance to take a proper shower. And now, especially after the
encounter with Sally, Marion felt the need to freshen up.
When Sally called, Marion had just fallen asleep. Even though she was out of the hospital, her body
had not fully recovered, and the attending physician advised her to rest when possible. The intense
vibrations of her phone made her think it was probably her assistant calling, and with a furrowed brow,
she sat up and answered the phone.
Seeing the unfamiliar number, she could not help but scoff. She had a hunch that after being slapped
by her, Sally would not just let it slide. Marion answered, “Sally, what do you want this time?”
On the other end, Sally feigned surprise, “Marion, how did you know it was me? I don’t have any
ulterior motives; I just wanted to remind you. Tomorrow is the third anniversary of you and Jameson
being together, right?”

“Aren’t you planning to register your marriage with him tomorrow?” Sally asked then burst into laughter,
that smugness audible even through the phone. It irritated Marion to no end. 1

It is impossible to say that Marion was not angry. During her stay in the hospital, especially at the
beginning, the pain from the fractured ribs and leg kept her awake at night. Afraid that Cassie and
Richard would worry, she could only bite her pillow and endure the pain night after night.
Those long and lonely nights were enough for her to see the reality. Sally’s words only brought anger to
the forefront and no other emotions. In the past, Marion would have been hysterical, but now, she was
incredibly calm. She even chuckled at Sally on the other end of the phone, “Honestly, Sally what kind of
woman do you think I am? Do you think I’m so pathetic that I’d take anything you throw at me? Like
Jameson is the only guy out there?”
“You can keep him. A man like that is not worth my time.‘
”
Marion hung up the phone. Sally was left breathless. She felt the left side of her face, slapped by
Marion in the morning, becoming even more painful.
With a scream, Sally picked up her phone again and called Jameson. She wanted to see how long
Marion could endure!
