The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 18 But It’s All Because of Me

Marion tapped the screen of her phone, hesitated for a moment, and eventually typed out a message: [ Regarding our marriage, my dad shouldn’t make things difficult for you. If he does, let me know. I'll talk to him.]

She understood her father’s feelings, and she believed he genuinely trusted her. However, she knew that her impulsive decision to marry Lucas might raise concerns, and her protective father would likely seek answers from Lucas.

Feeling that she had already caused enough trouble for Lucas on the first day of their marriage, Marion did not want to burden him further. [Mrs. Craig, you’re overthinking] came Lucas’s reply.

Seeing his response, Marion could not help but feel awkward. Maybe she was overthinking things. Lucas turned out to be quite different from what she had imagined. Regardless, they were bound to divorce sooner or later.

Shaking off her thoughts, Marion decided not to dwell on these less important matters. Tomorrow, she had a tough battle ahead with the Royces. Tonight, she needed a good night's sleep.

Satisfied with the successful retaliation earlier in the day, Marion quickly drifted into a peaceful slumber after her meal. However, not everyone found it easy to sleep that night.

Sally initially intended to create a trending topic to provoke Marion. She planned to wait for Marion to break down emotionally, go to Jameson, create a scene, and then deliberately make multiple calls apologizing in tears all the while portraying Marion as an unreasonable shrew.

Moreover, since it was Marion and Jameson’s anniversary today, Sally thought this trending topic would be enough to disgust Marion. However, things did not go as planned. Not only did it not work out, but the situation took an unexpected turn.

Marion and Lucas got married, and the trending topic Sally paid for backfired, becoming a

metaphorical slap in her face. Faced with severe mockery from netizens, she contemplated whether to disclose her struggles with depression to shift public opinion.

Before she could act, Jameson took the initiative. The official account of Infinity Corporation released a clarification statement, denying the rumor about Jameson buying a ring for Sally, and sternly declared their intent to investigate and hold responsible those spreading false information.

With Jameson’s statement out, Sally dared not escalate the situation further, fearing potential consequences. She resorted to hiring some online trolls to defend her image. However, by the end of the day, she gained nothing but a substantial amount of criticism.

Frustrated, she could not endure it and decided to make a late-night call to Jameson.

Seeing his phone light up, Jameson thought it was a call from Marion, but to his surprise, it was Sally calling. He felt a bit disappointed but still answered the phone. “Sally?”

“Did | wake you up, Jay?” Sally’s voice was soft and seemed to carry a hint of a sob. Jameson's Chapter 18 But It’s All Because of Me

“Is it that Mar still won’t forgive you?” Sally asked.

Thinking about Marion, Jameson felt a headache coming on. Rubbing his temples. “Hmm.”

“It's all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you and Marion wouldn't be in this situation! Jay, let me apologize to Mar again! I'll get on my knees, I'll beg her, I'll promise her that | won’t contact you anymore!” Men cannot stand to hear women cry, especially when it's someone as delicate as Sally,

distressed over the situation between him and Marion.

Jameson could not bear it. “Sally, don’t say such things. | will handle things with Marion. Just focus on taking care of yourself!” “But it’s all because of me, you two-” Sally began, her voice choked with tears.

Worried that she might take it too hard, Jameson had to comfort her. In the process, he accidentally mentioned his plans for the next day.
