Chapter 210 I Wasn’t Pretending
Last night, Marion once again fled in embarrassment.
When Marion talked about the incident with Cassic, her face blushed uncontrollably: [Cassie, I feel like
if this continues, I’ll be doomed sooner or later!]
Cassie: [Don’t be shy, Mar! You two are legally married now, just boldly go for it!]
Marion touched her flushed checks: (No, we have a contract!]
Cassie: [Tsk tsk tsk, in matters of love, contracts can be nullified! If you really like him, just go for it!
What are you afraid of? At worst, you can enjoy it a few times for free! For a man like Lucas, it’s not a
loss, right?]
Marion was speechless.
She knew it! Cassie’s mind was filled with nonsense!
Cassie sent several more messages afterward, all containing similar content. Marion felt too

It was outrageous!
She took her phone and went straight to the music room to practice the piano. After playing Kirk’s
concert songs a couple of times, Mrs. Bailey informed her that there was a visitor downstairs.
Marion furrowed her brows. It was Monday, and everyone she knew would be at work. Who could be
coming to see her, Lucas or his father?
This time Marion had guessed right. Since she rejected Arthur’s invitation, he had been upset for
several days. Knowing that Lucas was definitely at the company that afternoon, Arthur went directly to
her.
When Marion went downstairs, Mrs. Bailey had already prepared tea for Arthur. However, he did not
show any interest in it and had not touched it.
Lucas’s father was more formidable than Veronica. Despite having retired due to illness, Arthur’s aura
and authority remained undiminished. Although Marion felt intimidated, she reminded herself
that she was not Lucas’s real wife, which boosted her confidence.
She sat down on the sofa and addressed him. “Hello, Mr. Craig.”
She had initially wanted to call him ‘Dad‘, but fearing that it might infuriate Arthur to the point of
returning to the hospital, she opted for a more neutral address.
Arthur stared at her coldly, “Miss Marion, quite a skill you have. You just broke off the engagement with
the Royce family boy, and now Lucas has married you!”
“You’ve got it wrong, Mr. Craig. The one who broke off the engagement was me, and the one who got
dumped was Jameson.”

She emphasized her point, and Arthur’s anger flared up, “You don’t have to act innocent and naive in
front of me. Lucas may fall for that, but I won’t!”
Marion felt stung by his accusation. “I’m not pretending. I just spoke the truth.”

In all his years, Arthur felt like he had never encountered someone like Marion before. “Name your
price. How much money would it take for you to divorce Lucas?”
“You and Miss Veronica really are a match, Mr. Craig. Both of you speak in quite the same manner.”
Could they not use a different approach?
Arthur was shocked. At his age, people only spoke to him with respect. Yet, Marion had dared to speak
to him so bluntly.
He got so angry that he slammed his cane fiercely on the ground, “Very well! Let’s see if you’ll yield, or
if the Cartier family’s company will!”
Marion’s smile faded, “So, are you suggesting that if I don’t agree to your terms, you’ll target my
family’s company?”
“So, you’re not entirely foolish!”
“If you do that, won’t Lucas be upset when he finds out?”
Marion asked the question seriously, but Arthur’s expression instantly darkened at her words.
