Chapter 105 I’m Looking for You
Marion practiced the piano for two hours, and her hands were sore. She reached for her phone and thought of surfing the
inte and catching up on thetest online trends.
As she picked up her phone, Marion noticed she received a text message about her bank card.
[Your card ending in 9987 received an iing transfer from Industrial and Commercial Bank of Mystara on July 10th, totaling
USD 100,100,000.00. The counterparty’s ount name is...]
Was she dreaming?
Marion''s hands trembled as she held the phone. She attempted to take screenshots several times before sessfully capturing
the message. Sending the screenshot to Cassie took multiple attempts
as well.
Marion: [Cas, quickly help me check. Is this one hundred million dors?]
Cassie: [Did Lucas really transfer one hundred million dors to you?]
Cassie: [Too many zeros. Let me count it again!
Cassie: [Counted eight times. It’s one hundred million! Did you manage to get your husband to reimburse you? | swear, | was
just kidding... Damn, that’s a lot of money! Why did Mr. Craig transfer one hundred million to you so casually, as if he’s giving
you 1000 bucks?]
Cassie: [I’m sorry. Did | just insult 1000 bucks?]
Marion: [He might have misunderstood me. I''ll go talk to him!]
Cassie: [Jokes aside, with such arge sum of money, it’s indeed necessary to rify!]
Marion: [On my way.]
Marion was genuinely surprised by therge sum and felt like screaming with joy. One hundred million! Honestly, she had never
seen so much money in her life.Original from N?velDrama.Org.
However, despite the excitement, she could not ept the money. While she had a fascination with. wealth, she was not greedy.
Marion knew very well the nature of her rtionship with Lucas.
Checking the time, Marion realized it was already past three in the afternoon.
Lucas would probably be taking a nap. But holding so much money that did not belong to her, made Marion feel uneasy. She
decided to go and check on him anyway.
As she exited the music room, Marion made her way to the ground floor. Lucas was no longer on the first floor, and Mrs. Bailey
had likely gone for her midday rest, leaving the entire vi quiet.
Guessing that Lucas was taking a nap, Marion reluctantly went upstairs with her phone. Perhaps she could take a short nap in
her room as well.
Before reaching her room, the master bedroom door suddenly opened. Lucas stood behind it.

“Finished practicing the piano?”

He had changed into a new outfit, wearing a ck satin shirt that draped gracefully over his body. The smooth satin entuated
his features. He was undoubtedly a handsome and noble gentleman.
Marion was momentarily captivated by the sight. As she regained herposure, she lightly pinched the rabbit ears on her
phone case, feeling too shy to meet Lucas’s gaze directly.
“Yes, I’m done.”
“nning to take a nap?”
She nodded and, afraid of any misunderstandings, added, “I was looking for you.”
“Oh?”
He raised an eyebrow, and the coldness on his face dissipated and was reced by a touch of curiosity.
Lucas released the doorknob, “Shall we discuss it inside?”
That did not seem quite right. As if guided by some invisible force, Marion had already taken a step forward with her left leg. She
had no choice but to keep moving.
Lucas had turned back, and the master bedroom was quite spacious, if somewhat empty. There was a small adjoining room with
a set of ck leather sofas.
As soon as Marion entered, she noticed an opened bottle of red wine on the table, with a single ss of unfinished wine. She
instinctively nced at Lucas, and her gazended on his thin, enticing lips, now stained with the color of grapes.
“Care for a drink?” Lucas sat down and then pointed to the red wine on the table.
Marion, prompted by his question, immediately remembered the scene fromst night when she had clung to Lucas, asking for a
hug. Standing there, she blushed furiously. “No, thank you.”
Another round of drinking, and she would not survive the evening.
