Chapter 147 Is it Natural for the Rich?


    “During the agreement period, if the second party encounters any difficulties, they should seek assistance from the first party at


    the earliest opportunity.” Lucas had the use with a calm expression on his face.


    “Since we are in a marital rtionship, even if it’s a cooperative one, both legally and publicly, we are, in essence, a married


    couple.”


    “As your legal husband, if you face difficulties; shouldn''t | be the first person to help you solve them? And as my legal wife, if you


    encounter any challenges, shouldn’t you seek my assistance immediately?


    Lucas continued as he cast a nce at her.


    “Miss Marion, | hope you understand that regardless of the nature of our rtionship known only to us, in the eyes of others and


    ording to thew, you are my wife — Mrs. Craig. If anything happens to you, | am the first one to be condemned and held


    responsible.”


    He spoke unequivocally, his cool, dark eyes fixed on her. There was a hint of displeasure. Marion felt herself buckle under the


    weight of his gaze. “I’m sorry, | was wrong. | indeed... underestimated the


    situation.”


    She realized she had been naive, thinking that their rtionship was just a fagade.


    Lucas’s exnation made her understand that he was right. The subsequent uses, while mostly simr, no longer provoked


    doubt in Marion after Lucas pointed out the implications.


    As she put herself in the role of ‘Mrs. Craig’, Marion found the rest of the agreement to be reasonable and justified.


    She admired Lucas for leaving no room for mistakes in his actions. Looking at the contract from a long-term perspective, it


    seemed genuinely beneficial for both parties and could potentially prevent many troubles.


    However, there was one point that Marion could not fully ept. “Mr. Craig, I’m sorry, at the risk of misunderstanding your


    intentions, could you please exin this particr use?”


    Marion, for the first time, began to doubt herprehension skills, especially upon reviewing the


    agreement.


    Perhaps, she thought, it was because she had been out of school for so long.


    [use 11: During the agreement period, all expenses incurred by the second party shall be borne by the first party...]. When


    summarized, the provision essentially meant ‘I''ll cover your expenses’ right?


    “Oh, since we''re in a cooperative rtionship, it’s only natural that | take care of your expenses, too Isn’t it?” Marion asked.


    Was that type of entitlement natural for the rich?


    On that point, even Lucas was not insistent. “If you find it inappropriate, we can modify it to have me

    cover all expenses you incur because of me.”


    Not inclined to take advantage of him, Marion felt a modification was reasonable. “Let’s make that change then.”


    “Alright, any other issues?” Lucas inquired.


    The agreement consisted of 27 uses, with 13 from the first party to the second party, and 14, from the second party to the first


    party.


    Marion found them mostly simr and rational, except for the one additional use in the first party''s terms, addressing the


    expense matter she had just discussed. After the modification, Marion had no further concerns.


    She shook her head. “No other issues.”


    Lucas acknowledged her response and promptly made the changes on theputer.


    The printer nearby quickly produced two copies for them.


    After signing the agreement, he ced the documents in front of Marion. “Take another look. If everything is fine, thewyer is


    downstairs, and I''ll have hime up to notarize the documents.”


    Marion blinked, unable to help but marvel at Lucas’ efficiency. “There are no problems.”


    “Good.” Lucas took out his phone and swiftly summoned thewyer upstairs.
