The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 189 | Want to Go Home

“Ooh, a perfect match with both talent and beauty! Their backgrounds are equally impressive too!”

“Just when it’s raining, he comes to pick her up at a moment's notice. I’m so jealous!”

Amidst the envious gazes and comments around her, Ruby walked under Jameson’s umbrella.

When she linked arms with Jameson, she exchanged a glance with Jade.

Jade glanced in Marion’s direction and asked, “Mr. Royce, Miss Marion is also here. Would you mind giving her a ride as well?” Jameson's expression subtly changed. He turned around and quickly spotted Marion in the crowd.

“Marion.”

He restrained himself and called out to her.

Marion, prompted by his call, almost responded.

She regretted stopping Cassie from confronting Jade.

Before Jameson could speak, Ruby, feigning generosity, asked, “Miss Marion, would you like a ride too?”

“No thanks. Someone is coming to pick me up,” Marion replied coldly.

Just as Marion was about to retort, her phone rang.

Glancing at the caller ID, she felt a sudden competitive urge. She answered the call, “Hello, honey?”

The affectionate term she used unexpectedly warmed Lucas. Leisurely undoing a button, he inquired, “Where are you?”

Marion, caught off guard, had planned to involve Lucas in her act. However, he went straight to the point, leaving her momentarily flustered. Stammering, she replied, “Infinity Mall.”

“All right, | got it.”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

After saying that, Lucas hung up the phone. He did not explicitly say he was coming to pick her up, he had just acknowledged her location. But that was enough for Marion's act.

Marion put down her phone, smiled at Jameson and Ruby, and said, “My husband will be here shortly. You don’t need to trouble yourselves.”

Upon hearing the term ‘husband’, Jameson’s face turned slightly pale. He looked at Marion and felt that he had a lot of things to say to her.

Since laying eyes on her, Jameson had not taken his gaze off her.

Ruby struggled to maintain her composure. “That’s good. We'll be leaving then.” Chapter 189 | Want to Go Home

“Sure,” Marion replied coldly.

However, Jameson did not leave. “It’s alright. We’re not in a hurry. We can wait until Mr. Craig arrives. What if he doesn’t come...”

Cassie could not hold back any longer. “Who do you think you are? Always changing your stance! Mr. Craig said he would come and pick Marion up, and he will. No need for your misplaced kindness. You better head back. You wouldn’t want to be struck by lightning for all the stupid things you’ve done!”

Cassie’s words embarrassed Jameson and Ruby. Although their actions did not make a big scene, their voices did carry.

When Jameson had come over initially, it had already attracted attention. Now, as they lingered, onlookers gradually caught on to the dramatic situation. Some people, though they could leave, deliberately stayed to enjoy the spectacle.

Marion, without even sparing a glance at Jameson and the others, stood there nonchalantly, though deep down, she was feeling anxious. Nevertheless, she knew she had to keep up the act, no matter

what

Just as she contemplated how to wrap things up if Lucas did not show up, someone shouted, “Another luxury car, a Maybach!”

Marion instinctively looked up and saw, amid the pouring rain, a man walking toward her with a

black umbrella.

At that moment, Marion felt like her world had quieted down, and all she could see and feel was Lucas. He was unbelievably handsome!

Before Lucas had even reached her, with a distance of two or three meters remaining, Marion had already rushed out of the crowd.

She practically flew into Lucas’s arms. With one hand holding the umbrella and the other embracing her, Lucas said, “You're in the rain.”

Marion, smelling his familiar woody scent, looked into those dark eyes, feeling a mix of embarrassment and boldness. “It’s okay. | want to go home now.

His dark eyes deepened, and the hand around her waist tightened.

Even though he knew she was acting in front of Jameson, Lucas could not help but get lost in the performance. He held her as they walked back into the rain, towards the Maybach.

Marion and Lucas did not say anything to each other, yet it felt like they had conveyed everything they needed to.

It was a clear victory.
