The Bride s Revenge ( Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce ) Chapter 261
Chapter 261 Born to Shine
Marion strutted in today wearing a French–inspired cornflower dress. Before going on stage, she had to do her makeup, so she came over bare–faced, with her hair casually twisted into a messy braid hanging over her left shoulder.
When Bruce escorted her in earlier, she carried herself with grace and was pretty soft–spoken.
Beautiful and naturally elegant, Marion belonged to a type not uncommon entertainment industry.
Kirk, with a decade in the spotlight, had admirers both within and outside the industry, including wealthy heirs and debutantes.
Prior to Pedro’s arrival, rumors circulated that Kirk had personally offered 2 million dollars, which was increased to 3 million, out of his own pocket to invite Marion to perform two songs at his concert.
Setting aside whether it was worth it, Pedro, as Kirk’s senior, was the one who slowly guided Kirk into the limelight when he debuted. Their relationship was no longer just that of mentor and disciple but more like brothers.
Pedro, who had watched Kirk go from obscurity to brilliance, naturally understood Kirk as a person.
His interest in Marion was definitely more than mere admiration.
That much was clear from his short exchange with Bruce below the stage.
As Pedro observed Marion at the white piano on stage, he could not help but exclaim, “What does Kirk see in her?”
Beauty was one thing, but Kirk was not the type to judge solely based on
appearance.
Bruce, who used to be puzzled, had an answer after witnessing Marion’s performance. “You’ll know in a moment.”
It did not take long for the awaited moment to arrive. As soon as Bruce said that, the sound of the piano echoed on stage.
The soft–spoken and graceful Marion from moments ago seemed to have transformed into a different person.
Pedro could not quite describe the feeling. Marion still seemed gentle and quiet, but at the piano, she exuded an incomparable charm.
When the first song ended, Pedro seemed to understand why Kirk liked Marion.
Chapter 261 Bar to Stupe
Some people were born to shine brighter than even the stars.
“Althea is indeed quite lacking,” Pedro sincerely remarked.
At the mention of Althea, Bruce winced. “Don’t bring up Marion in front of her, or she’ll give you a hard time!”
Pedro chuckled. “If Althea had half of Miss Cartier’s qualities, she wouldn’t have been unsuccessful in her long pursuit for Kirk.”
Speak of the devil…
“Pedro!”
From afar, Althea called out.
Pedro glanced at Bruce, who felt a headache coming.
How did that girl manage to sneak in?
After the incident last time, Althea’s popularity had plummeted. Combine that with her reckless online behavior, the company decided to keep her on the down- low for about six months as a subtle punishment.
Bruce knew about the matter between Althea and Marion. Hence, for Kirk’s concert, he specifically informed the company and got Althea assigned elsewhere. Unexpectedly, Althea had sneaked back on her own by relying on her status as Kirk’s junior to waltz in.
Althea naturally noticed Marion on stage, and her expression immediately soured. “Pedro, why did Kirk insist on inviting Cartier?”
Pedro did not want to get involved in the youngsters‘ squabbles. “You should ask your Kirk about that.”
