Chapter 174 You’ve Walked Right into My Trap
“Do you think | should be wearing it?”
Lucas looked at her and furrowed his brows.
Marion stared at him in bewilderment, “But... | don’t think this ne suits me, either.”
Ane worth millions? She dared not wear it so casually!
“Didn’t you wear it well tonight?” Lucas replied, seemingly unimpressed.
Marion hesitated, “Looking good in a casual setting is one thing, but tonight’s asion is more formal. Besides—” She paused
for a moment, “this ne is too precious.”
Lucas, however, seemed unfazed, “The value of jewelry is assigned by people. It may be expensive, but when you wear it, it
perfectly embodies its worth. If | give it to you, it can still showcase its value.”
“No, Mr. Craig, this ne is really too precious, I-”
“If you don’t want it, just throw it away. Such a small amount of money is nothing to me.” Lucas cut her off mid-exnation.
Marion was forced to acknowledge the disparities in their worldview.
55 million dors did not mean much to Lucas.
Marion watched his retreating figure, then looked down at the ne in her hands, feeling like she resembled someone
pursuing a rich man’s affection for the sake of his wealth.
Lucas had returned to his room.
The ne felt too hot to handle, and after rummaging through her belongings, she found a jewelry
box to store it in.
With The Transcendent safely stowed away, Marion finally located her phone and messaged Cassie: [ Cass, Lucas just said The
Transcendent was a gift for me.]
Cassie: [Didn’t you say he just wanted you to wear it?]
Marion still could notprehend it: [But he came over with the ne and said it was for me...]
Cassie: [I have a reasonable suspicion that you''re showing off your romance to me!!]
Marion: [No, listen to my exnation. | genuinely didn’t lie to you. | truly had no idea Lucas would give me the ne! Holding
a 55-million-dor ne puts me in a dilemma. | have no idea what to do!]
Cassie, reliable in critical moments, chimed in: [A 55-million-dor ne is indeed a hot potato, but if Mr. Craig insists on
giving it to you, you can only ept it.]
Marion agreed, thinking, ‘It seems that’s the only option.’

After Lucas’s unexpected gesture, Marion lost interest in surfing the inte.
She chatted with Cassie for a while before deciding to go to sleep.
After all, she skipped her afternoon nap, endured a prolonged ‘ordeal’ in the afternoon, and had to
rescue the fallen Alice at night.
Marion''s energy expenditure that day exceeded her limit, and she fell asleep soon after lying down.
However, her sleep was not very peaceful.
She woke up shortly after, went to the bathroom, and was awakened again by thirst in the middle of the night.
In a daze, she stumbled downstairs to get a drink.
Fortunately, the stairs had motion-sensing night lights.
She leaned on the railing and managed to reach the ground floor, poured herself a ss of water, and drank most of it.
After finishing the water, Marion turned to go back to her room. Her eyes were barely open due to her drowsiness, and she
noticed the light under a door.
Without much thought, she walked towards it.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Marion felt like her room had expanded. It took her a while to find the soft bed. Sensing itsfort, shey down, and there was
a faint woody fragrance in the air.
She puzzled it over for a second, but her fatigue overwhelmed her, and she drifted off to sleep.
