Chapter 125 Was My Mrs. Craig Bullied?
Franchesca and the person who entered with her looked surprised. “Wasn’t Marion the special guest
performer for today?”
The staff member standing next to Althea became uneasy. “Miss Marion’s leg injury flared up, and we
can’t force her onto the stage, right, Miss Franchesca?”
Franchesca had arrived late and, though she was unaware of what had just happened, she glanced at
Althea and connected the dots.
She nodded without saying much. After all, it was a charity event, and she had no authority to
intervene.
As she watched Marion leave, Althea, raised an eyebrow triumphantly. “Not just anyone can participate
in such a grand charity event.”
She smirked, finally feeling a sense of satisfaction.
The news of Marion being unable to perform due to a foot injury quickly reached the event organizer,
Zoe Lockhart.
Zoe was not pleased with Marion’s ‘excuse’. Marion was a special guest at the event.
While outsiders did not understand, Zoe knew very well that Marion’s presence would generate positive

The more sensational the charity event, the better.
With Althea’s fame in Mystara and Marion’s internationally renowned reputation, the success of the
event would improve their organizations, allowing them to help more hearing-impaired individuals.
Two months ago, when news of Marion’s car accident came out, Zoe had been actively in touch with
her assistant, Miley, who had consistently assured her that there were no issues, and Marion could
participate.
Yet, on the day of the event, with only half an hour until the charity performance began, her staff
informed her that Marion had ‘withdrawn from the performance’.
Zoe was suspicious of Marion’s intentions.
But Marion had no malicious intentions. While she kept a low profile in Mystara, her international
reputation was significant. Why would she have agreed to participate in the event and then suddenly
change her mind?
The more Zoe thought about it, the more it seemed peculiar. She quickly instructed her assistant to
pause their current tasks and go backstage to find out what had actually happened.
At that moment, Marion and Miley had just left the venue when they ran into Lucas stepping out of his
car.

Marion, who had just been proud and confident moments ago, instantly wilted upon seeing Lucas.
A few days ago, she had joyfully informed people about her charity performance that day and even
asked if they would attend. Now that they had come, she had been forced out… It was an awkward
situation to be in.
It was Miley’s first time meeting Lucas, and the man’s imposing presence left her momentarily
speechless.
Lucas’s eyes flickered as he walked toward Marion.
He lifted his hand to brush away the stray strands of hair hanging down. “Weren’t you supposed to
perform today?”
Marion looked at Lucas in embarrassment. “I, uh, won’t be going on stage today.”
“Why?” Lucas looked at her, his voice cool, but his eyes deeply focused.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarion awkwardly gestured to the crowd behind her. “It’s… too crowded.”
She could not just say that she had been kicked out.
“That’s not it!” Miley blurted out.
After speaking, she cautiously looked at Lucas and tentatively continued, “Mr. Craig, they bullied
Marion in there.”
At her words, a trace of coldness flashed in Lucas’s dark eyes. However, when he looked at Marion, his
gaze had already softened. “Was my Mrs. Craig bullied?”
Marion’s ears turned red immediately. She felt her face heat up.
She did not really want Lucas involved in the matter, but before she could say anything, Miley, with her
quick tongue, passionately recounted the incident.
After listening, Lucas glanced at Marion. “I understand. How much time until the performance?”
Miley realized that Lucas intended to stand up for Marion and promptly responded, “There’s half an
hour left.”
“Wait a moment. I’ll make a call.”
Lucas directed his statement to Marion then walked off to the side, his phone still in his hand.
