Chapter 135 What Just Happened?


    Marion was genuinely angry, more so than when Sally made sarcasticments about her in the past.


    She had started learning the piano at the age of four, and her achievements that day were a result of her talent and hard work.


    During her senior year of high school, to bnce her studies, she would sleep at midnight and wake up at five in the morning to


    practice the piano.


    Evenn


    now, with her fame and sess, she devoted no less than 30 hours a week to no practice. Whether performing orpeting,


    she never ckened her efforts.


    She had diligently climbed thedder in her beloved field, and now people were saying that all her honors were bought with


    money. They used her of craving fame, daring to provoke Althea.


    If they criticized her character or actions, she might not have been so enraged. But their dismissive remarks had negated twenty


    years of her hard work as they insulted her cherished talent.


    As Marion spoke, her body trembled. It was the greatest injustice she had ever experienced.


    After expressing her feelings, her eyes reddened.


    Suddenly she felt Lucas take her hand and she instinctively looked at him. As she blinked, a tear rolled down from the corner of


    her eye.


    “Lucas, I’m so angry!” she confessed. Truly angry.


    Lucas was taken aback. He gazed at the tear in her eyes and his dark eyes clouded over. He raised his hand and embraced her.


    “Darling, go ahead and vent your frustrations.”


    Marion was genuinely furious, and as Lucas held her in his arms, she was still shaking.


    In truth, she did not care much about the online judgments. Back when Sally had dragged her into online controversies, and


    many people criticized her, she simply treated it as a spectacle.


    But this time was different. They had casually tarnished her beloved career.


    Lucas’s shoulder was warm and sturdy and filled her with his familiar scent of sandalwood. That gradually calmed Marion and


    brought her back to reality.


    Being angry by herself was futile.


    Althea had gone too far, and if Marion did not retaliate, others would think she was easy to bully.


    Marion lowered her eyes and contemted on how to vent her frustration. Venting itself was not difficult. Althea had been in the


    industry for five years so there had to be some dirt on her.


    If she liked to sling mud at others, then Marion would let her experience it.


    After all, Marion was not part of the entertainment circle, and this one-time bacsh would not affect her future.

    Althea, on the other hand, would not fare as well If her fans turned against her.


    Marion''s temper red quickly but also subsided rapidly.


    She had only been momentarily angered by thements.


    Now, with a clearer head, she realized the situation was not as severe as it initially seemed.


    With a n in mind, Marion regained some of herposure. She picked up her phone, intending to call Miley to handle the


    situation.


    However, as she raised her hand, her fingertips brushed her lips, and she paused.


    At that moment, she realized she was in Lucas’s arms. What had just happened? Why was she in Lucas’s embrace?


    As she became aware of it, Marion quickly moved away from him to create some distance. She looked at Lucas with


    embarrassment. “Mr. Craig, I’m sorry. | lost control just now.”


    The soft fragrance that lingered in his embrace was gone as she distanced herself.


    Lucas pursed his lips slightly.


    As he gazed at Marion, he suppressed the impulse to pull her back into his arms.


    His voice, usually indifferent, now carried a subtle and imperceptible tenderness. “Mrs. Craig, have you figured out how you want


    to counterattack?”
