The Bride s Revenge ( Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce ) Chapter 184

Chapter 184 Why Was it Always So Thrilling?

Alice’s recent actions not only puzzled those within the circle but inadvertently embarrassed Veronica

and Arthur.

The union between the Gardners and Craigs had been rumored since five years ago. Last year, Alice. had returned to the country, and members from both families had even shared a meal.

The rumors of the alliance between the two families gradually faded until Lucas suddenly married Marion. The matter lost its significance then.

Yet, last night, Veronica had accompanied Alice to attend a grand event worth billions, making the implications crystal clear.

Although Marion and Lucas had obtained their marriage certificate, they had not held a wedding ceremony. Whenever Veronica engaged in social activities, she always hinted at Arthur’s dissatisfaction with Marion as his daughter-in-law.

Connecting all these pieces of information, everyone assumed that Lucas and Marion would eventually divorce and that Alice would become the ultimate daughter-in-law of the Craig family.

Up until then, everything had seemed normal.

Arthur planned to force Lucas and Marion’s divorce and engage Alice with Lucas.

However, Alice seemed to transform overnight. Not only did she release a so-called public statement online, praising Marion, but she also had her father call Arthur, canceling the alliance between the two families.

When Arthur received the call from Harold Gardner, he was unaware of what had happened. He thought it was about discussing the engagement. However, Harold directly stated, “Since Lucas has someone he likes and marriage is a matter of free will, as parents, we shouldn’t force it too much. Let’s consider our alliance null and void, Arthur!”

No matter how Arthur tried to persuade him, Harold insisted on canceling the alliance. Arthur had no choice but to agree. After hanging up the phone, Arthur’s face turned asheh.

Veronica cautiously inquired, “What happened? What did the Gardner family say?”

“What else could they say? They canceled the alliance!” Arthur exclaimed.

Veronica was shocked, “What’s going on? Did Alice do something…”

Veronica hesitated for a moment, then handed her phone to Arthur, saying, “I don’t know what’s going on with Alice. She insisted last night that Marion saved her! What’s more, today she publicly expressed her gratitude!” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Now, everyone knows that Marion is her lifesaver! She can’t ruin the marriage of her savior. How would that look?” Veronica said with a furrowed brow. Suddenly, she thought of something and added, “Do you think the Gardner family had no intention of marrying into ours from the beginning?”

Arthur glanced at Veronica, “If they didn’t want the alliance, they could have just said so directly. There’s no need to go through all this trouble.”

Veronica became even more puzzled, “Then why did Alice praise Marion so much?”

Arthur could not understand it either. He looked at Alice’s public statement on his phone, and his face

darkened.

“Marion has got some skills, hasn’t she? First, she quietly got Lucas to marry her, and now she’s using Alice as a stepping stone.”

With a stern expression, Arthur declared, “I need to meet this Marion in person!”

Marion never expected that Arthur’s secretary would call her. The person on the other end was extremely arrogant, and before she could say anything, Arthur’s secretary hung up.

Feeling speechless, Marion thought, ‘Does Arthur expect me to meet him?’

She would not go!

Of course, she needed to inform Lucas about that. Marion stood up, left the room, and went to the master bedroom, knocking on the door.

The door opened quickly.

As soon as the door opened, Marion’s eyes landed on Theodore’s well-defined eight-pack abs!

Why was it always so thrilling?
