Chapter 106 In a Matter of Seconds


    Fortunately, Lucas did not say much, he just picked up the wine ss and sipped the remaining red wine inside.


    When other people drank red wine, it was a careless, thoughtless act. But it was different with Lucas.


    If Marion were to express it vividly, it would be a difference between night and day. To put it simply, he was elegance and nobility


    embodied.


    “Is there something on your mind?” He had poured about half a ss of wine, swirling it lightly and looking up at her.


    Marion quickly ced her phone in front of him, “I just received one hundred million dors in my ount.”


    She had almost forgotten the matter!


    Lucas’s expression was unreadable. “Is there a problem?”


    “Did you transfer it?”


    “Didn’t you want reimbursement?”Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Marion felt the need to exin. “Mr. Craig, you know, among friends, especially close ones, there’s always some teasing that


    sometimes goes a little too far.”


    “Sorry?” Lucas looked at her and snorted. “So, you mean your friend made an inappropriate joke about you?”


    Marion thought about it. “Well... you might understand it that way.


    Sorry, Cas, I''ll endure it for now!


    Lucas looked thoughtfully at the ount information on the phone. After a few seconds, he spoke again, “But your friend is right.


    As your husband, | should indeed reimburse you. Otherwise-”


    He paused for a moment, “Would your friend suspect the authenticity of our marriage?”


    Was their marital rtionship not quite obvious? A fake marriage with a realistic facade!


    “| think it’s better not to let too many people know the true nature of our marital arrangement. | don’t doubt your friend’s loyalty to


    you, but |ck confidence in your friend’s acting skills,” Lucas remarked.


    Upon hearing Lucas’s words, Marion felt that something was off, but she could not pinpoint what it was. She pursed her lips and


    decided to return the money to Lucas.


    Even if they were just acting, one hundred million dors was not something she could ept!


    “I''ve shown the message to my friend. I''ll secretly transfer the money back to you. She doesn’t need to know,” Marion said.

    Lucas gave her a sidelong nce, “Is epting my money causing you difort?”


    Marion looked embarrassed, “Well, it does feel a bit ufortable.”


    It was not her hard-earned money, so she did not dare to use it!


    Lucas remained silent, and a brief quietness settled in the room. Marion nced at her phone on the table. She wanted to take it


    back but felt awkward about it. After a few seconds, she was unable to resist the urge any longer. She reached out an arm and


    retrieved her phone.


    Lucas’s dark eyes flickered and focused squarely on her face. Marion felt her ears burning. She pursed her lips and stubbornly


    spoke up, “I better transfer the money back to you. There are too many scams nowadays. What if | identally fall victim to


    one? What’s your bank ount number?”


    She held her phone and gazed at him with her big, round eyes. She seemed particrly skilled at the tactic, as she blinked her


    longshes at him.


    Lucas considered himself a strong-willed person, but being looked at that way, in a matter of seconds he relented. “I''ll get my


    bank card.”


    “Okay!,” Marion sighed in relief.


    Honestly, if she had received that one hundred million dors, she would not have the courage to keep it. She was genuinely


    afraid of falling victim to a telephone scam!
