Chapter 152 My Legs Feel Weak

Lucas had already reached the middle of the stairs when he noticed Marion had not followed. He stopped and turned back. “What’s wrong?”

Marion slightly pursed her lips, shook her head, and replied, “Nothing, let’s go eat.’

Well, it was quite awkward so best not to dwell on it. Despite some unpleasant incidents during the charity event, the overall outcome was satisfactory for Marion. It was, after all, a meaningful endeavor. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The online buzz about the incident faded after a few days, and Marion received a call from Zoe.

Zoe invited Marion to become the ambassador for ‘Harmony’ an initiative that carried no monetary compensation. However, for public figures, such charitable involvements were complementary.

Charities often require the attention and engagement of public figures to attract public interest. For celebrities, such ambassadorships added a touch of ‘honor’ to their image.

Marion was not a typical public figure, relying more on her talent than on appearances. As her popularity increased, especially after the incident with Althea, Mystara gained significant recognition. Marion preferred to let her skills speak for itself.

This collaboration could be seen as Zoe seeking Marion’s assistance.

Marion was not naive. She understood that Zoe’s decision to choose her over Althea during the charity event might have been influenced by Lucas. However, it was clear that the choice was also driven by the idea of having Marion as an ambassador.

That day, Zoe had given Marion a chance by choosing her over Althea, and later, due to the online backlash, the Harmony Institute endured days of criticism from Althea’s fans.

Having acknowledged the favor Zoe extended to her earlier, Marion felt it was only fair to accept the offer.

But Marion also had her reasons. “Miss Zoe, I might need to discuss this with my husband. Being married, such ambassadorial responsibilities could potentially impact my husband in some way.”

Zoe did not press Marion but simply agreed. They happily reached a consensus, and then Zoe ended the call.

Holding her phone, Marion hesitated on whether to send Lucas a message about the matter. Her words to Zoe were not entirely a bluff.

Lucas had been on a business trip the day before, and the itinerary showed he was supposed to return that day.

Marion did not like discussing serious matters through a phone screen, so she decided to wait until Lucas got back.

Then she continued practicing the piano.

Lucas returned after 11 p.m. and found Marion engrossed in a game with Cassie.

During his absence, Marion had been spending her time in the living room, indulging in games. Recently, she developed a liking for playing the game ‘Honor of Kings’. With both Cassie and her playing as novices, they clashed until past midnight before reluctantly logging off.

When an unusual sound came from the villa entrance, they were in the middle of a game.

Marion, slow to react, was immediately wiped out by the opposing King Lansfield. Cassie’s character was twirled around by Norton, and Lisa, who followed them, ended up lying on the ground.

“This round is over again!”

Cassie sighed, but Marion was too distracted to respond. She stared at the entrance and contemplated whether to run upstairs to hide. However, she realized her legs were still weak.

No, with the high-end security in the villa, how could a thief be bold enough to break in at that time of night?
