The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 168 Marion is My Savior

The startled scream quickly drew people from the banquet hall. Marion had just pulled Alice out of the swimming pool when a crowd rushed out behind her.

“| saw it! | saw her push Miss Alice into the pool!”

Did Alice arrange for people to lie just to slander her?

Marion suddenly regretted jumping in to save her. If she had not, Alice’s ‘backup plan’ might have worked! Marion frowned, walked to her discarded shoes, and picked up the necklace.

She could not afford to lose it!

Just as she lifted her shoes, and looked around to find support from Lucas, Veronica rushed over with a crowd of her own. “What's going on? What happened, Alice?”

Alice seemed disoriented and at that moment, she was coughing and spitting water. Before she could speak, the woman who claimed to have seen Marion push Alice spoke up. “It's her! | saw her push Miss Alice into the swimming pool! If | hadn’t seen it, Miss Alice might be in serious trouble right now!”

“Is Marion insane? Did she want to kill Miss Alice? Murder is a crime! Does she think that by getting rid of Miss Alice, she can secure her position as Mrs. Craig?”

“Oh my! Marion is truly malicious! No wonder the Craig family doesn’t recognize her as their daughter-in-law!” “Let's call the police! This is attempted murder!” The surrounding crowd was in a heated discussion.

Marion, who usually avoided arguments, had initially intended to wait until Lucas arrived before speaking. However, upon hearing the crowd, she lifted her head, sneered, and said, “Fine, let’s call the police then!”

Just as Marion said her words, Alice, who had been coughing, suddenly stood up, frowned, and weakly asked, “Call the police for what?”

Veronica stepped forward to support Alice.

“You can’t be soft-hearted, Alice! Marion is malicious! We must report this to the police. It needs to be handled through legal means!”

Alice pushed Veronica’s hand away. “I fell on my own so why call the police?” She paused and looked at Marion, smiling at her. “If it weren’t for Miss Marion, | might not be here. Miss Marion is my savior.” With that, she turned around and nodded at Marion.

Lucas, who had just arrived, witnessed the scene. He walked over to Marion, took off his suit jacket, and draped it over her shoulders.

Caught in the familiar scent of cedarwood, Marion turned her head instinctively to look at Lucas.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

It was as if she had finally found her voice. “She, |, she-”

Her prepared complaints were abruptly halted by Alice’s glance. Marion opened her mouth but found herself at a loss for words. Lucas held Marion’s hand, as his gaze swept over Alice.

“Miss Alice, my wife merely exchanged a few words with you, and this happened. Shouldn’t you explain yourself?” he asked sternly.

“It's my fault, I’m sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Craig. | slipped and fell into the swimming pool, and Mrs. Craig jumped in to save me.” Veronica had seen all kinds of situations, but the scene in front of her was beyond her experience. She glanced at Marion, then at Alice.

“Were you threatened or something, Alice? How did Marion become your savior?”
