Chapter 66 She Was Not a Shield
Lucas had gotten up to pull the wheelchair from the corner of the room when he saw the brand
manager and Daniel. He raised his eyebrows. “Aren’t you leaving yet?”
Daniel and the brand manager both stiffened for a moment, then quickly stood up. “We’re leaving now,
Mr. and Mrs. Craig.”
Marion was still not quite accustomed to being addressed as ‘Mrs. Craig‘ but she could not show it on
her face. She pretended to smile calmly. “Alright, goodbye.”
“Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Craig!”
Once outside the private room, both the manager and Daniel breathed a sigh of relief.
The manager turned back to glance into the room and then asked Daniel, “Is this Mrs. Craig the real
deal?”
Daniel knew exactly what the manager meant by ‘real in the context of his question. Many people
thought Lucas was just using Marion as a shield when they heard about the marriage after Marion’s
hospital discharge.

using someone as a shield.
“One month before Mrs. Craig was discharged, Mr. Craig had me prepare their wedding house,” Daniel
said vaguely in response to the manager’s question.
“Good heavens!”
The manager was so surprised that he almost cursed. He quickly wiped away the sweat that had
appeared on his forehead. Fortunately, he had been respectful to Mrs. Craig otherwise, he might have
found himself fired for having stepped on the wrong foot.
Meanwhile in Kirk’s car.
As soon as Kirk got into the car, Bruce berated him.
“Have you gone crazy just now? Lucas deliberately brought Marion here today. Isn’t that obvious
enough? And you dared to ask me for digestive pills! I might need them now because of the stress you
gave me!”
When Kirked had asked for the digestive pills, the look Lucas gave Kirk could have cut through steel.
Kirk chuckled lightly. “Didn’t you notice?”

Bruce asked as anxiously he patted his chest. “Notice what?”
“It’s very awkward between them.”
Lucas had made several intimate gestures, yet Marion’s restraint was so evident. It was clear that they
were not on the same wavelength.
Bruce nearly choked on the water he was drinking. “I don’t know about Mr. and Mrs. Craig’s
relationship, but I do know that it’s easier for Lucas to crush you than to squash an ant!”
Bruce’s words were harsh. After all, Kirk’s achievements could not be easily suppressed. He was not
dependent on popularity and his music was his
livelihood. As long as he continued to create music, the entertainment industry could not easily silence

But Kirk’s status was not easily attained. In ancient times, people would not confront the authorities,
and in recent times, celebrities did not challenge their capital investors.
Lucas’s capital was no joke. If Kirk provoked Lucas, the former would be in serious trouble.
Kirk pulled out a tissue from a paper bag and handed it to Bruce. “Look at how scared you are. I didn’t
have any ill intentions, you know.”
Bruce took the tissue, but it was not enough. He snatched another tissue from Kirk’s hand. “If you dare
to try anything, I’ll strangle you first, and then we can both die together!”
“No need to go that far.”
Bruce snorted. “Don’t mess with Marion.”
Kirk clicked his tongue. “Why would I mess with her?”
“Stop being so naive and be more serious!”
Kirk chuckled, as he looked out of the car window. Neither said anything more. Not mess with her?
That would not do.
