Chapter 138 I’m Not a Doormat The thought of retaliating briefly crossed Marlon’s mind. However, the focus was not really on


    whether she was impressive or not. The key information was that Althea was eliminated from the charity performance that day.


    Marion promptly dialed Miley’s number. Miley answered almost immediately. Clearly, Miley had been also nning to address


    the matter with Marion. Miley had been quite upset since that morning: After Lucas helped Marion vent her frustration and


    magically defeated Althea by removing her from the charity event, Miley finally calmed down. Little did she expect that her anger


    would resurface so soon. Miley was not taking the online situation lightly. Although she was Marion’s assistant and manager, she


    and Marion were of simr age, and she always followed Marion’s lead. Over the years, there had been numerous opportunities


    in the entertainment industry, tempting her with better offers, but Miley, loyal to Marion, never wavered. When Marion won a


    major awardst year, most would have seized the chance to gain publicity and ept lucrative endorsements, but Miley


    respected Marion''s preference against a high-profile lifestyle. Instead of seeking publicity, Miley used her connections to ensure


    that Marion’s achievements were downyed in the media. That day, for the first time in many years, someone had dared to


    bully Marion. Without waiting for Marion to express her thoughts, Miley firmly stated, “Marion, | won''t let this matter pass like this.


    It''s okay if you don’t like being in the limelight, but after all these years, it’s the first time someone has dared to mistreat you so


    openly. “You don’t have to say anything. | am determined to counterattack online. Even if | can’t ruin Althea’s reputation, | will


    make her drink a full cup of bitterness!” Marion was about to ask Miley to prepare for a public rtions counterattack, but after


    two seconds of silence, Miley still had not heard Marion’s voice. She furrowed her brows. “Marion, what’s on your mind? Say


    something.” Although Miley was not going to listen to Marion''s advice, she was still willing to hear them out. Marion hesitated for


    a moment and said, “You''ve already said what | was going to say. For a moment, | don’t know what else to add.” Miley was


    mentally prepared for Marion to once again talk about handling things with a ‘bigger picture’ approach, but she seemed surprised


    by Marion’s response. “Are you suggesting that we don’t resolve this privately” Chapter 138 I’m Not a Doormat 2/2 Marion, with a


    touch of sarcasm, replied, “I’m not a doormat, to be trampled on by people. If she’s bet ying dirty with me like this, why should


    | resolve it privately?” Marion was not so ‘benevolent’. In the past, she kept many issues from being publicized by Miley because


    they were internal matters within their social circle. Marion was not part of the entertainment industry, and there was no need for


    her to expose herself to public scrutiny like other celebrities. Concerning the Althea incident, it was not that she had suddenly


    be more open-minded. The main reason she did not want to handle it privately was that it involved Althea. Althea was part


    of the entertainment industry, and if Marion suppressed the incident, would it not be an indirect admission of guilt? Confirming


    that Marion shared her perspective this time, Miley’s frustration quickly turned into excitement. “I won’t say anything more for


    now. I''ll take care of this matter. I''ll immediately get the public rtions team involved. Just wait. I''ll make sure Althea, that


    ignorant little brat, apologizes to you in full view of everyone!” Chander 1101 Was Weng, M. Cralu
