“Mr. Craig!”
Seeing Lucas’s cold face, Zoe quickly spoke up, “Even if we are willing to change the performer, there’s
not enough time. Althea is scheduled as the opening act. If we replace her, it’s impossible to find a
substitute…”
Before Zoe could finish her sentence, her assistant hurriedly led the makeup room staff over and
whispered something in Zoe’s ear,
“Taylor Hiddleston’s agent contacted us, asking if today’s charity event is still happening. Taylor
happens to be in Lumina City…’
Being the highly intelligent person that she was, Zoe only needed the first half of her assistant’s words
to figure out who was behind it.
For such a significant event, even if it was a charity performance, last-minute changes were not simple
to address. Moreover, the most prominent performers that day were Althea and Marion, with the former

Lucas wanted her to remove Althea from the lineup, and Zoe found it challenging.
On one hand, Althea’s fans were not easy to deal with, and Althea had volunteered for the charity
event.
If Zoe replaced her, getting a substitute in such a short time would be impossible.
Taylor’s agent contacting them at that very moment was a clear signal to Zoe.
Taylor had debuted five years earlier and had a higher status and more achievements than Althea.
Initially, Zoe had asked for Taylor, but she had politely declined.
If Taylor replaced Althea, it might work for the better.
However, the decision would inevitably offend Althea.
Yet, if they did not remove Althea, they would offend Lucas.
It was almost as if Althea and Lucas were both aware that she should choose the latter.
Faced with the situation, Zoe, who already knew her responsibilities, made a quick decision.
“Mr. Craig, you’re right. As a charity organization, our invited performers should naturally have a
charitable heart. If Miss Althea unreasonably mistreated Mrs. Craig, she indeed is not suitable for such
an important role in our charity performance.”
“How about this? Mrs. Craig will open the charity event, and I’ll have someone contact Taylor to come
and perform as the closing act,” Lucas proposed and then looked at Marion who had been quiet
beside him.

“Is that okay?”
Without hesitation, Marion, still somewhat stunned by the sudden turn of events, responded, “Yes, it’s
okay for me.
It was beyond okay! She could not believe that Lucas had managed to have Althea removed.
When Lucas escorted her backstage, it felt like a dream to Marion.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Lucas was now an audience member, he did not follow her all the way backstage.
Instead, he escorted Marion to the backstage entrance and then joined the host below the stage.
Zoe had already arranged a new dressing room for Marion and assigned her assistant to take care of
Marion’s needs.
Marion had applied a base makeup before coming, and although there were only about twenty minutes
left before the performance, the makeup artist worked diligently.
Marion’s stage makeup was completed just five minutes before the show started.
Suddenly they heard Althea’s explosive voice from outside, “Are you crazy? I volunteered to sing the
opening for you, and now you’re telling me I’m not needed for today’s performance?”
Marion understood what had happened. She glanced at Miley, who had been holding back all this time.
While everyone was busy, Miley could not help but whisper in Marion’s ear, “Mr. Craig is so
awesome.’

Marion wholeheartedly agreed, “Indeed, he’s awesome. He didn’t even hesitate!”
