Chapter 286 Just Wait and See
Cassie was immediately displeased, “Even Marion might not have time to go.”
Following Cassie’s words, Marion added, “I have a relatively heavy workload in the second half of the
year. If I can’t make it then, Miss Ruby, I will have the gift sent over.”
Ruby nodded, “That’s alright. It’s the thought that counts.”
Her lips curved and her expression did not truly reflect her indifference. It was evident she felt
triumphant, thinking Marion would not dare attend the wedding.
Jade sneered, “Afraid you won’t have the time? I bet you just don’t dare to go alone.”

Marion had endured Jade for quite some time now so when she heard what Jade said, Marion’s
expression turned slightly cold, “Miss Jade, care to explain why I wouldn’t dare go? Is it because of

“Should I be afraid he’ll flee and find me again?”
Marion’s words were like a slap to Ruby and Jade.
Ruby almost could not keep the smile on her face. “Please don’t mind us. Jade is just very blunt.”
“Being blunt and being malicious are different concepts.”
Then Marion took the two sets of clothes from the shop assistant as she said, “You and I don’t have.

might get the wrong idea.”
Ruby instinctively asked, “Wrong idea about what?”
“They might have misunderstood that Jameson is still chasing after me.”
This statement made Ruby’s face turn dark. She bit her lip and watched as Marian walked towards the
fitting room. Ruby stopped Jade before she could say anything. “Let’s go, Jade.”
Jade was puzzled but followed her.
Outside the Good Witch Wardrobe, Jade frowned at Ruby. “Why did you stop me? Marion doesn’t look
like a good person at all!”
Ruby pressed her lips, paused for a moment, and then spoke, “Let’s not be hasty. Next Saturday, I’ll
settle this score.”
Hearing Ruby’s words, Jade’s eyes lit up, “Do you have a plan?”
Ruby had no intention of telling Jade, “Just wait and see.”
Jade was not the type to press for answers, “Fine! I’ll wait!”
Jade’s anger subsided as she thought about Marion being humiliated. She was now solely focused on
buying a beautiful dress and looking forward to the spectacle next Saturday.
However, Jade did not anticipate that the protagonist of the show would change.
When Marion emerged from the fitting room, Cassie praised her incessantly, “Wow, which heavenly
fairy descended to earth? You look stunning! So beautiful!”
The shop assistant chimed in, “You have such a gentle temperament, Miss and this camellia series suit
is simple and elegant. It accentuates your grace and gentleness. It suits you very well!”
Marion blushed from all the compliments, and in the end, she waved her hand and made the purchase.
Exiting the mall, Marion had spent over a hundred thousand dollars. Looking at the bill, she felt slightly
guilty. “Okay, we’ve got to stop shopping. Let’s go to your place!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCassie, who had just bitten the bullet and bought a bag for over forty thousand dollars, was also feeling
the pain.
Both of them had lost the mood to continue. They hailed a cab and returned to Cassie’s apartment.
Previously, Marion used to go out for only half a day because she had to return home to practice the
piano. That day Marion had been out from six in the morning until nine at night, prompting Cassie to
finally speak up, “Marion…. it’s nine o’clock. Are you not planning to go back?”
Marion glanced at her, “Are you trying to kick me out?”
“Well… not exactly. I wanted to remind you that your relationship Mr. Craig is a business partnership.
Do you understand what that is?”
Marion thought about it.
‘Yes, I understand!
“Too damn well!‘
Marion felt even more despondent.
The relationship she and Lucas had was purely business and there were no emotions involved.
She had to endure it, and when the contract expired, they would part ways mutually.
