Chapter 138 I’m Not a Doormat
The thought of retaliating briefly crossed Marlon’s mind. However, the focus was not really on whether
she was impressive or not. The key information was that Althea was eliminated from the charity
performance that day.
Marion promptly dialed Miley’s number. Miley answered almost immediately. Clearly, Miley had been
also planning to address the matter with Marion.
Miley had been quite upset since that morning:
After Lucas helped Marion vent her frustration and magically defeated Althea by removing her from the
charity event, Miley finally calmed down. Little did she expect that her anger would resurface so
soon.
Miley was not taking the online situation lightly.
Although she was Marion’s assistant and manager, she and Marion were of similar age, and she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtalways followed Marion’s lead.
Over the years, there had been numerous opportunities in the entertainment industry, tempting her with
better offers, but Miley, loyal to Marion, never wavered.
When Marion won a major award last year, most would have seized the chance to gain publicity and
accept lucrative endorsements, but Miley respected Marion’s preference against a high-profile lifestyle.
Instead of seeking publicity, Miley used her connections to ensure that Marion’s achievements were
downplayed in the media.
That day, for the first time in many years, someone had dared to bully Marion. Without waiting for
Marion to express her thoughts, Miley firmly stated, “Marion, I won’t let this matter pass like this. It’s
okay if you don’t like being in the limelight, but after all these years, it’s the first time someone has
dared to mistreat you so openly.
“You don’t have to say anything. I am determined to counterattack online. Even if I can’t ruin Althea’s
reputation, I will make her drink a full cup of bitterness!”
Marion was about to ask Miley to prepare for a public relations counterattack, but after two seconds of
silence, Miley still had not heard Marion’s voice. She furrowed her brows. “Marion, what’s on your
mind? Say something.”
Although Miley was not going to listen to Marion’s advice, she was still willing to hear them out. Marion
hesitated for a moment and said, “You’ve already said what I was going to say. For a moment, I don’t
know what else to add.”
Miley was mentally prepared for Marion to once again talk about handling things with a ‘bigger picture’
approach, but she seemed surprised by Marion’s response. “Are you suggesting that we don’t resolve
this privately”

Marion, with a touch of sarcasm, replied, “I’m not a doormat, to be trampled on by people. If she’s
bet playing dirty with me like this, why should I resolve it privately?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarion was not so ‘benevolent’. In the past, she kept many issues from being publicized by Miley
because they were internal matters within their social circle. Marion was not part of the entertainment
industry, and there was no need for her to expose herself to public scrutiny like other celebrities.
Concerning the Althea incident, it was not that she had suddenly become more open-minded. The main
reason she did not want to handle it privately was that it involved Althea.
Althea was part of the entertainment industry, and if Marion suppressed the incident, would it not be an
indirect admission of guilt?
Confirming that Marion shared her perspective this time, Miley’s frustration quickly turned into
excitement.
“I won’t say anything more for now. I’ll take care of this matter. I’ll immediately get the public relations
team involved. Just wait. I’ll make sure Althea, that ignorant little brat, apologizes to you in full view of
everyone!”
