    “Mr. Craig!”


    Seeing Lucas’s cold face, Zoe quickly spoke up, “Even if we are willing to change the performer, there’s not enough time. Althea


    is scheduled as the opening act. If we rece her, it’s impossible to find a substitute...”


    Before Zoe could finish her sentence, her assistant hurriedly led the makeup room staff over and whispered something in Zoe’s


    ear,


    “Taylor Hiddleston’s agent contacted us, asking if today’s charity event is still happening. Taylor happens to be in Lumina City...’


    Being the highly intelligent person that she was, Zoe only needed the first half of her assistant’s words to figure out who was


    behind it.


    For such a significant event, even if it was a charity performance,st-minute changes were not simple to address. Moreover, the


    most prominent performers that day were Althea and Marion, with the former opening the show and thetter closing it.


    Lucas wanted her to remove Althea from the lineup, and Zoe found it challenging.


    On one hand, Althea’s fans were not easy to deal with, and Althea had volunteered for the charity


    event.


    If Zoe reced her, getting a substitute in such a short time would be impossible.


    Taylor’s agent contacting them at that very moment was a clear signal to Zoe.


    Taylor had debuted five years earlier and had a higher status and more achievements than Althea.


    Initially, Zoe had asked for Taylor, but she had politely declined.


    If Taylor reced Althea, it might work for the better.


    However, the decision would inevitably offend Althea.


    Yet, if they did not remove Althea, they would offend Lucas.


    It was almost as if Althea and Lucas were both aware that she should choose thetter.


    Faced with the situation, Zoe, who already knew her responsibilities, made a quick decision.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Mr. Craig, you''re right. As a charity organization, our invited performers should naturally have a charitable heart. If Miss Althea


    unreasonably mistreated Mrs. Craig, she indeed is not suitable for such an important role in our charity performance.”


    “How about this? Mrs. Craig will open the charity event, and I''ll have someone contact Taylor toe and perform as the closing


    act,” Lucas proposed and then looked at Marion who had been quiet


    beside him.

    “Is that okay?”


    Without hesitation, Marion, still somewhat stunned by the sudden turn of events, responded, “Yes, it''s okay for me.


    It was beyond okay! She could not believe that Lucas had managed to have Althea removed.


    When Lucas escorted her backstage, it felt like a dream to Marion.


    As Lucas was now an audience member, he did not follow her all the way backstage.


    Instead, he escorted Marion to the backstage entrance and then joined the host below the stage.


    Zoe had already arranged a new dressing room for Marion and assigned her assistant to take care of Marion’s needs.


    Marion had applied a base makeup beforeing, and although there were only about twenty minutes left before the


    performance, the makeup artist worked diligently.


    Marion’s stage makeup waspleted just five minutes before the show started.


    Suddenly they heard Althea’s explosive voice from outside, “Are you crazy? | volunteered to sing the opening for you, and now


    you''re telling me I’m not needed for today’s performance?”


    Marion understood what had happened. She nced at Miley, who had been holding back all this time. While everyone was


    busy, Miley could not help but whisper in Marion''s ear, “Mr. Craig is so


    awesome.’

    Marion wholeheartedly agreed, “Indeed, he’s awesome. He didn’t even hesitate!”
