The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 163 Stealing the Spotlight

Suddenly, the entire venue turned their collective gaze toward Marion’s chest.

The sizable diamond, under the bright lights, shone so brilliantly that it was hard to look away.

Undoubtedly, at that moment, Marion became the focal point of the crowd.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

In the distance, Jameson with a glass of wine in hand, glimpsed Marion as she was escorted by Lucas through the crowd.

He had known Marion for many years and always acknowledged her beauty, but that evening, he realized her exceptional attractiveness far surpassed his previous perception.

He marveled at her waist which was accentuated by her fitted white dress.

Meanwhile, Lucas’s hand was slowly encircling that slender waist.

Jameson’s face turned pale, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

The man standing next to Marion should have been him!

Marion rarely attended such events, as Richard was not fond of them, and she felt indifferent about them.

In the past two years, she had accompanied Jameson on one or two occasions, but due to the Cartier family’s relatively low status, most people overlooked her.

However, that night was different.

Because of Lucas, she became the center of attention. Whether people envied or resented her, they could not help but cast their eyes toward her.

It was a rather enjoyable feeling. Yes, she was that shallow. While Marion reveled in the attention, the hand she was holding suddenly loosened. She paused for a moment and looked at Lucas.

In the next instant, she felt a slight tightening around her waist. The hand that Lucas had withdrawn a moment ago was now embracing her waist.

Her entire body tensed up. The intimate gesture in public made her feel awkward, and her fair earlobes turned red in an instant. Lucas pulled her towards him.

“What would you like to drink?” He asked calmly, but his gaze crossed Marion to the man beyond the

crowd.

His eyes landed on Jameson’s face. Lucas raised his eyebrows slightly, then casually withdrew his

gaze.

To Jameson, the look felt like a provocation.

However, he had no right to snatch Marion back. A wave of frustrated despair surged within Jameson, his face turning more pale. He did not want to stay there any longer.

Just as he turned, Ruby intercepted him, “Mr. Royce.”

Jameson frowned and nodded, “Miss Ruby.”

Ruby sipped her red wine, glanced in Marion’s direction, and remarked, “Miss Marion is truly stealing the spotlight tonight.” Jameson did not respond. He simply finished the red wine in his glass.

Ruby casually looked at Jameson and added, “A necklace worth over 50 million dollars... Miss Marion has some skills.” “What are you trying to say?”

Ruby chuckled, “Nothing, just expressing my admiration. Miss Marion and Mr. Craig have only been married for a little over two months, right? For Mr. Craig to give her such an expensive necklace, truly showcases Miss Marion’s ‘abilities’.”

Jameson glanced at Ruby and then lifted his gaze, and fixated on Marion, who was being embraced by Lucas not far away. Indeed it was quite an accomplishment! How did he not know that Marion was so adept at charming men before?

Marion, unaware of the conversations around her, accepted the glass of red wine Lucas handed her. As she was about to take a sip, she suddenly remembered something and hesitated, swiftly moving the glass away from her lips.

She almost forgot that her tolerance for alcohol made it a bad idea to drink.
