Chapter 172 Marion Really is a Good Person


    The events that night felt like an incredible dream to Marion.


    However, she was not the only one who found the night''s happenings unbelievable.


    Veronica was utterly perplexed. Given that Alice was destined to marry Lucas, Veronica could not fathom why, during such a


    perfect opportunity, Alice not only refrained from taking action against Marion but even spoke up in her defense.


    Veronica pondered for over half an hour but could notprehend Alice’s thought process.


    After hearing that Alice had changed into a new dress, Veronica abandoned the conversation with the affluentdies and swiftly

    It was not just Veronica who failed to understand.


    Even Reba Web, who had a good rtionship with Alice, could notprehend the situation. ” Why did you speak up for


    Marion just now, Alice?” she asked.


    It was such a golden opportunity.


    If Alice had remained silent, Marion would have found it challenging to defend herself, regardless of whether she was involved or


    not. People tend to be biased, especially when it involves someone like


    Alice, who was set to marry Lucas.


    Everyone in Lumina City knew how the Craig family felt about Marion.


    They did not acknowledge Marion as their daughter-inw, and it was clear that Mrs. Craig would not retain her position for long.


    Alice did not need to bother with Marion. Even if Alice had orchestrated the incident to frame Marion, the Craig family could


    easily manipte the narrative.


    However, Alice chose to rify things for Marion, a twist that Reba found difficult to ept.


    The summer night was not cold, but after spending a few minutes in the pool, despite having taken a shower, Alice still felt


    ufortable. She rubbed her nose and spoke in a muffled voice, “I just spoke the truth, that’s all.”


    “But...”


    Reba was about to say something when she saw Veronica walking over with a puzzled frown. “Are you okay Mrs. Craig?”


    Reba asked Veronica tactfully.


    Veronica nced at Reba, nodded, and then shifted her gaze back to Alice.


    “Why did you speak up for Marion just now?”


    Alice sniffed, “Because | did identally fall into the pool.”


    Frowning, Veronica responded, “Even if you did fall in identally, you didn’t have to...’

    In the crowded and noisy ce, Veronica did not want to express herself too explicitly.


    However, her words were clear enough, and Alice smiled at her, “Mrs. Craig, Miss Marion isn’t as bad as you all imagine. |


    believe Lucas’s wife is deserving of the title.”


    Veronica, already puzzled, was at a loss for words upon hearing Alice’s response. What was


    happening?


    The alliance between the Gardner and Craig families had been decided three years ago, and Alice had known for just as long


    that she would be the future Mrs. Craig.


    Now, with Lucas suddenly marrying Marion, it was understandable if Alice felt upset. However, s not only refrained from


    expressing anger but also defended Marion.

    “Have you lost your mind, Alice? The alliance between our families was agreed upon three years ago. You’ve mentioned before


    that you quite like Lucas. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, you should have been engaged this year. Now that Marion has


    emerged and taken your ce, why do you still think highly of her?”


    Alice looked at Veronica and pursed her lips. “But, Marion really is a good person.”


    Veronica, who had intended to advise Alice, was left speechless. What on earth was going on?
