The Bride s Revenge ( Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce ) Chapter 38



Chapter 38 Well Played, Mr. Craig 

At the same time, in the black Bentley, there was a sudden stop. The driver in the front quickly pulled over and parked. Daniel, in the passenger seat, was also puzzled and turned back cautiously to Lucas, “Mr. Craig?” 

“You can both get off here and go home. Take a cab. The company will reimburse you.” 

Daniel thought Lucas was about to get angry. During dinner, Wayne Wolowitz was asking for trouble by arranging such a ‘surprise‘. Lucas left the private room, his face a mask of emotions. After getting into the car, he remained silent until he answered a call half a minute ago. 

Hearing Lucas’s words, Daniel quickly signaled to the driver, and the two of them got out of the car promptly. Lucas went around to the driver’s seat, extended his long legs into the car, and smoothly sat inside. Soon, the Bentley sped away, leaving only Daniel and the driver on the roadside. 

Fifteen minutes later, the Bentley entered Sapphire Lake Villas. After another two minutes, it slowly drove into a small lane and then stopped in front of Villa No. 15

Lucas got out of the car and only then noticed someone was standing in front of the car–Jameson. Lucas glanced at Jameson, whose expression was indifferent as if he were looking at a random cat or dog on the roadside. 

Jameson felt the disdain in the other’s gaze. “Mr. Craig, you’re playing this act quite well.” 

Lucas pressed the doorbell and then turned his head to look at Jameson. “Oh, then please, Mr. Royce, enjoy watching me finish this play. However, the duration might be seven or eight decades. I wonder if you can endure it.” 

With contempt and arrogance still lingering in the air, the Cartiers‘ butler emerged. “Mr. Craig, please come in.” Howard’s deferential attitude made Jameson’s eyes turn red. Howard used to treat 

him the same way, but now he showed such respect to Lucas. 

As he watched Lucas enter the Cartiersresidence, Jameson moved his leg to follow. However, before 

he could step inside the villa, Howard intercepted him, “Mr. Royce, I have been informed that the Cartiers do not welcome you.” With that, Howard pushed the door forward, and with a loud ‘clang,‘ it shut, barring Jameson from entering. 

Jameson stood at the doorway and watched as Lucas followed Howard inside. His face turned dark 

and livid. 

“Mr. Cartier and Miss Marion are waiting for you upstairs, Mr. Craig.” 

Lucas nodded and followed Howard up to the second floor

Marion heard the doorbell and knew Lucas had arrived. Thinking about her recent exclamation of ‘ honey‘, she felt a warmth creeping up her ears. 

Just as she was gathering herself, Howard had already led Lucas upstairs. “Sir, Miss, Mr. Craig has arrived.”

Lucas first looked at Richard. “Mr. Cartier, good evening.” Then, his dark gaze subtly shifted and landed on Marion, seated on the sofa. 

With Jameson causing trouble downstairs, Richard found Lucas quite pleasing. His attitude was very demure. “Thank you for coming. Please have a seat!” 

He glanced at Marion and sat directly beside her. “No trouble at all. It’s something I should have done 

earlier.” 

Richard poured a cup of tea for Lucas. He feared any misunderstandings and decided to explain the situation. “The person downstairs was shouting for Marion earlier. We were afraid of disturbing the neighbors, so we had to go down to see him. Marion called you over to get him to leave.” 

Lucas took the teacup. “Mr. Cartier, rest assured. Since I’m married to Mar, I trust her.” 

When Marion heard Lucas call her ‘Mar‘, she felt her hands tremble slightly. 

Richard named her Marion and affectionately called her Mar. Marion meant beloved‘. Thus, Richard hoped that in the future, a good man would cherish her and treat her as his top priority. 

When her parents and close friends called her by her nickname, Marion did not mind. Even when Jameson, due to their long acquaintance, called her by her nickname, she did not feel much sentiment. Only with Lucas, after a few rare encounters and their recent marriage, he had switched from “Miss Marion” to “Mrs. Craig” within a day. 

Marion felt the warmth rise in her cheeks and blushed.
