Chapter 131 The One She Offended Was Lucas


    It was not surprising that initially, Zoe tried to downy the situation.


    The charity event that day was indeed grand in scale, with stage settings rivaling those of top-levelpetitions that Marion had


    participated in.


    Suddenly transitioning from the finale to the opening act, Marion felt quite nervous backstage as she prepared to go on.


    Marion''s performance that day was an adaptation of a piano piece titled ‘Our World’.


    It was apanied by a dance troupeposed of deaf individuals as they portrayed the world of the hearing-impaired. The


    poignant piano melody, though not intense, was profoundly moving, delivering an absolute auditory feast.


    After the curtain call, Marion instinctively nced towards the audience.


    When she took the stage earlier, her first nce was at Lucas. He sat in the middle of a row of seats, his striking features and


    unique demeanor making him stand out.


    After the curtain fell, it was no different. Unexpectedly, when she looked over, her gaze met the vortex of those dark eyes.


    Marion was momentarily stunned, as she felt her heartbeat quicken. She quickly averted her eyes and followed the dance troupe


    offstage.


    It was quiet backstage, as Althea and her team likely had already left.


    Marion was removing her makeup when the staff member who had been arrogant towards her an hour ago stood beside her to


    offer an apology. “Mrs. Craig, | failed to recognize your value earlier, causing you trouble. Please forgive me.”


    Marion remained silent. She was not a saint.


    Lucas had stood up for her and she was not about to y the role of the forgiving saint and figuratively p Lucas in the face.


    Miley walked over and bluntly pushed the staff member aside, “Please step aside. Marion doesn’t like strangers standing beside


    her.


    The staff member’s face turned pale from the collision but she did not dare say anything. Her ‘work mistake’ that day likely


    marked the end of her career in the field, unless Marion could ‘graciously forgive’ her.


    Zoe personally exined to the staff member that it was not that they were not giving her a chance, it was that she had offended


    Lucas, the Hades of Lumina City.


    When the staff member heard Lucas’s name, she knew she was done for. Even if Marion pped her twice right there, she


    would not dare protest.

    But Marion remained silent, not expressing forgiveness or condemnation. She just continued removing her makeup.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Miley let out a sigh, as she felt a lot better, but she too, did not speak up.


    She was not a fool. She was on Marion’s side! No one paid any attention to the staff member.


    After Marion finished removing her makeup, she went straight to the audience seats with Miley.


    The charity event that day had a significant lineup, with VIPS in the front row, each with a notable identity. Marion’s seat was in


    the second row, a bit of a distance from Lucas.


    Onstage, Franchesca was performing the cello, and the exquisite stage designplemented the ssical water-sleeved


    dance, which was a visually pleasing scene.


    Marion felt that the day had not been too bad. She had done a good deed and got to enjoy such a beautiful performance.


    The captivating dance on stage made Marion think that it would be a waste not to record it and share it on social media. She was


    so focused on the performance that when the person next to her stood up, she did not notice him until she smelled the familiar


    scent of wood.


    In the dim light, the familiar features made Marion recognize the person with just one nce.


    She blinked and turned her head. She lowered her voice to ask, “Mr. Craig? Why did youe over?”


    Lucas looked at her under the dim light. “Well, you’re here, so | came over.”
