Chapter 173
Chapter 173 Is It For Me?
The events of the evening quickly spread within Lumina City’s upper circles. Almost everyone in the social circle could not comprehend Alice’s actions.
Marion had taken all the limelight, whether it was her stunning appearance with Lucas, the Transcendent necklace worth millions around her neck, or the incident involving Alice.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
The Transcendent necklace, in particular, propelled Marion to fame. Someone posted a photo on their social media, and within three hours, the hashtag #MissMarionsMarried Life# had climbed to the
fifth spot on the trending list.
Just after she finished blow-drying her hair, Marion saw her phone screen flooded with messages from Cassie.
Cassie: [You're trending, Mar!]
Cassie: [You looked damn good tonight!]
Cassie: [Did you run into Jameson? Seeing you, he’s probably regretting it to the point of insomnia tonight, haha! Just thinking about it feels so good!]
Cassie: [Holy crap! Sweetie, your husband gave you the Transcendent as a gift?]
Cassie: [That necklace is worth over 50 million dollars!! Can we get an interview? What does it feel like to wear something so extravagant around your neck?]
Cassie: [I still think your husband is awesome! You made the right choice in marrying him!] Cassie: [What's up with your love rival? I’ve read fifteen years’ worth of melodramatic romance novels and still can’t figure it out!]
Cassie: [Following the usual plot, shouldn't Alice be trying to frame you for pushing her into the swimming pool? She admitted she fell in herself, and you saved her! At this point, I’m starting to suspect that Miss Alice isn’t into Mr. Craig but is into you instead!
After scanning Cassie’s messages, Marion realized that she had made it to the trending topics again.
She sighed and replied to Cassie: [The necklace wasn’t a gift. | was just asked to wear it tonight. As for Alice... honestly, | still can’t figure out what kind of game she’s playing.]
Cassie, still surfing the online wave, replied promptly: [Wasn't the necklace a gift for you? But now, the whole internet is saying that the Transcendent is a wedding gift for you...]
‘The necklace was not a gift,’ Marion thought to herself.
Marion, however, took it in stride when she replied to Cassie: [Even if Lucas were to give me such a gift, | would not accept it!] Cassie: [That's true! Speaking of Alice, her methods are unheard of. This woman is not so simple to understand!]

Marion was about to reply with ‘I also think so’ when suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted her.
With only Marion and Lucas in the villa, there was no need to guess who it was.
Marion sighed and quickly put down her phone to answer the door.
As the door opened, a refreshing aura wafted in with Lucas.
He had just finished showering, and his usually meticulous hair, now dripping with water, added a touch of unruliness to him. A droplet of water happened to fall from his hair and landed on Marion’s cheek.
It felt cool, but Marion’s face became warm, as she looked at the man in front of her with embarrassment. “Mr. Craig? Is there something you need?”
Lucas handed something to her. “The necklace.”
Marion lowered her head to see that it was The Transcendent. She blinked and asked, “Is there another event tomorrow?” “No.”
“In that case, | won’t need this necklace...”
Lucas looked at her, his eyebrows slightly raised. “You don't like it?”
“Is it for me?” Marion pointed at herself in disbelief.
