Chapter 99 Why Was That Scratch Visible Again?
Meanwhile, on the 25th floor of the Radiant Group office.
Daniel saw Lucas coming out of the meeting room and hurriedly approached him. “Mr. Craig-”
Lucas glanced at him, indicating for him to continue.
Daniel’s gaze fell on the red mark on the left side of Lucas’s neck, and he froze for a moment. He
seemed to have noticed something extraordinary. However, why had he not seen that mark in the
morning?
“Daniel?”
Daniel quickly snapped out of it. “I’m sorry, Mr. Craig, I was distracted.”
Lucas cast a stern look at him. “What’s the matter?”
“It seems that Mrs. Roy went to visit Mrs. Craig”
At Daniel’s words, Lucas’s dark eyes visibly darkened for a moment. He glanced at Daniel and said, “I
see.”
After that, he headed straight to the elevator.
Thinking he was going back to the office, Daniel instinctively pressed the button for the 28th floor.

floor.
Daniel was puzzled. “Aren’t you going back to the office, Mr. Craig? Mr. Prius from the project
department is waiting for you!”
“I’m not going back to my office.”
The man’s words left no room for negotiation.
Daniel understood and did not dare to say more. It could only be said that Mr. Prius’s luck was not
going to have a good day.
Lucas did not use the chauffeur that day. Instead, he went to the parking lot, drove his car, and headed
back to the villa. Along the way, he thought of Veronica and his features took on a somber look.
As it was Saturday the traffic conditions were not great. The roads were not terribly congested, but they
were not exactly smooth either.
After Veronica left, Marion spent some time in the music room. However, after playing for just a few
minutes, she did not feel like continuing. She took out her phone and messaged Cassie. [I just missed
out on a hundred million dollars!”

Cassie: [What? Tell me more!]
Marion: [Lucas’s stepmother just handed me two checks of 50 million each, asking me to divorce Lucas
within three months.]
Cassie: [Wow, Mr. Craig’s stepmother is quite generous!]
Marion: [Well, no one can say she isn’t!]
Cassie: [Look on the bright side. Your husband’s net worth is several hundred billion. What’s one
hundred million?]
Marion: [That’s his money, not mine!]
Cassie: [Mar, I’ve noticed that since you’ve distanced yourself from that scoundrel Jameson, you’ve
become so clear–headed!]
Marion: [One learns from experience!]
Marion did not feel ashamed about her past relationship with Jameson. She just considered it a pity.
So, when her friend mentioned it, she did not feel the
slightest hint of embarrassment.

Marion: [Cas, you must be living in dreamland!]
Cassie: [You won’t know if you don’t ask, right?]
Marion was about to reply to the message when there was a knock on the door. Startled, she dropped
her phone on the piano.
“Can I come in?”
“Of course!”
Marion quickly nodded, picked up her phone, and gently caressed the piano.
“I heard someone came to see you today.”
Marion turned to Lucas, briefly recounting the events of the past hour.
Lucas remained silent.
“Was what I did rude?” she asked.
Lucas raised an eyebrow and unbuttoned the top of his shirt. “No.”
Marion glanced at his throat, but after just a few seconds, she sensed something was off.
Why was that scratch visible again?
