Chapter 126 It’s Not What You Think


    Miley was uncertain if Lucas would stand up for Marion, but when she heard him make a call, she immediately became excited.


    “Mr. Craig is standing up for you. Shouldn''t we stay?”


    Marion furrowed her brows. “I don’t want him to get involved in this matter.”


    When she left the makeup room, she had already nned how to handle the situation and take matters into her own hands. She


    had not expected to run into Lucas right outside the door..


    Marion had been in the industry for many years, and despite her low profile, her strength and connections proved useful when


    needed. The organizer of the charity performance, Zoe, had personally invited her.


    Zoe was a straightforward person, and genuinely wanted to help the hearing-impaired.


    When Zoe called Marion, she exined exactly why she wanted Marion at the event.


    The primary goal of the charity event was not just fundraising, Zoe aimed to draw attention to the hearing-impairedmunity.


    Although Marion was not that popr in Mystara, she was undoubtedly a celebrity abroad. Atst year’s Grammy Awards,


    Marion’s solo performancested a remarkable 6 minutes.


    Zoe had already arranged everything. She wanted to create a significant impact beyond Mystara with the charity event and


    attract more attention. Marion was undoubtedly the best choice to make a


    lasting impression.


    However, with Marion being kicked out by the staff fawning over Althea, Zoe could not overlook the


    matter, even if Marion chose not to pursue it.


    Besides, Marion had no intention of truly withdrawing from the performance’. When she left for the restroom just earlier, Marion


    had already called Zoe to inform her of her decision.


    She believed that Zoe would personally invite her back.


    Marion had everything nned, but she had not expected Miley’s intervention which left Marion no


    room to react.


    Miley was unaware of Marion’s ns. She had thought that Marion intended to endure the situation. “You usually keep a low


    profile. Even now, with Althea, a popr idol, walking all over you, are you still going to endure it?”Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Marion was about to rify that she had no intention of enduring it, but she noticed Lucas ending the call and approaching her.


    Marion blinked, and felt embarrassed about letting Lucas in on her ‘little scheme’. She decided to


    stop before he could find out.

    Lucas walked over and looked at Marion.


    “Do you still want to perform on stage?” he asked her bluntly.


    Marion nced at Miley, who caught the hint and swallowed her words.


    “Well, | don’t think my performance will be canceled so easily...”


    Just then Miley''s phone rang.


    It was Zoe. Miley instinctively looked at Marion. “It’s Zoe. Should | answer?”


    “Go ahead.”


    Miley nodded. “I''ll see what she has to say.”


    Before leaving, she could not resist saying to Lucas, “Mr. Craig, please talk to Marion. She doesn’t want to do anything about the


    bullying.”


    Marion, who had no intention of letting the bullying slide, felt awkward. Did she seem like a doormat?


    After Miley spoke, she took her phone and stepped aside.


    Marion touched her ear awkwardly and then addressed Lucas.


    “This isn’t what you think.”


    She needed a moment toe up with a convincing exnation.


    Lucas raised an eyebrow. “Then what is it?”
