The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 24 It’s Over, Jameson

Jameson angrily threw the wine glass to the ground. The glass hit the carpet with a dull thud, marking the symbolic end to the night's dinner. The private room now echoed only with Sally's sobbing. Jameson pulled her up, and she continued crying with her head down.

Marion glanced at the glass; it had not shattered, but the remaining tea seeped slowly into the carpet. She watched the tea gradually disappear into the fibers, then withdrew her gaze and turned to

Jameson.

Marion felt as if the wine glass was a thread that had been tugging at her heart, and now it had finally snapped. Contrary to her expectations, there was no overwhelming sadness; instead, she felt a sense

of relief.

“It's over, Jameson,” she said softly. Her words were light, yet every person in the room heard them. Marion picked up her bag and wheeled her chair out of the room.

Those words crushed Jameson’s heart like a rock. He instinctively reached out to grab Marion, but she had anticipated his move, skillfully avoiding his hand.

The wheels of the chair pressed against the carpet, producing a faint sound that was almost inaudible. However, it quickly grew louder as the wheels rolled on the floor, diminishing until they disappeared

entirely.

Marion had only moved a few meters out of the private room when she encountered Lucas, who was walking toward her. She was surprised. “Mr. Craig?”

Lucas glanced at her. “Out for dinner?” It seemed he was unaware of her dinner plans with the Royces. Marion nodded, “You too?” “I've got a dinner appointment.”

He had been drinking; Marion could catch a hint of the light aroma of white wine on him. Lucas circled behind her wheelchair. “Are you alone?”

Marion shook her head, “No, my dad is with me.”

As Marion spoke, Richard also emerged from the private room. Seeing Lucas, Richard appeared surprised. However, Lucas remained composed, “Mr. Cartier.”

Richard nodded, “Go on ahead, Marion.” After Marion left, Richard proceeded to make some cutting remarks to the Royces.

He could not stand the thought of Sally, and at this moment, he had no desire to hear Jameson trying to deceive his precious daughter any longer.

Lucas heard his words but did not inquire further. He pushed Marion's wheelchair towards the

elevator.

Chapter 24 It’s Over, Jameson

Richard’s words were a direct affront to the Royces, and Joseph felt like Jameson had thoroughly disgraced him. He approached and slapped Jameson hard, “Look at the mess you've created!”

Initially, Bernadette was somewhat displeased with Marion's harshness, but when Sally barged in, she felt a sense of relief, thinking Jameson would not have to disgrace himself and apologize. However, Richard’s remarks made Bernadette uneasy. She stepped forward and gave Jameson a shove, “What are you standing there for? Go after Marion. Are you going to wait for her to marry someone else?”

This statement jolted Jameson. He instinctively rushed out, reaching the elevator just in time to see Marion and Lucas. Lucas stood behind Marion, and as Jameson appeared at the elevator door, Lucas turned to look at him, his cold eyes revealing a fierce protectiveness, akin to a wolf guarding its

territory. As the elevator doors were about to close, Jameson called out to Marion, “Marion!”

Marion looked at him. The radiant eyes that used to light up when she looked at him now remained cold as if she were gazing at a stranger.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
