The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 72 Why Are You Still So Naive?

The news of Jameson and Sally booking a hotel room spread online the entire day. The Royces tried various means to remove the trending topic, but the opposition insisted it could not be taken down. Joseph’s blood pressure skyrocketed, and Bernadette was brought to tears out of frustration.

Ever since Jameson’s runaway groom incident, the Royces‘ reputation deteriorated day by day. They became the subject of mockery in Lumina City’s upper circles. When Marion returned home, she found Richard reading in the living room.

The buzz about Jameson’s escapade was rampant today, and Richard, the ‘ former father–in–law,‘ felt like he had grown calluses on his ears from the gossip.

He hesitated as he looked at Marion. There were many things he wanted to say, but in the end, it condensed into a sigh. “It’s fortunate that you didn’t marry Jameson.”

It seemed that Jameson’s abandonment at the altar was not necessarily a bad thing.

Marion no longer had the heart to indulge in the gossip surrounding Jameson and Sally’s affair.

She agreed wholeheartedly with Richard’s comment. “Indeed, that’s exactly how I feel!”

Richard, who had been worried about his daughter’s distress, was relieved to hear her words. He decided not to bring up the unpleasant topic of Jameson again.” Who did Lucas introduce you to today?” he asked.

In the afternoon, Marion had informed him about Lucas inviting her to a dinner engagement, which surprised Richard.

Marion thought about the gathering and hesitated before answering. “It’s Kirk, the male celebrity who trended with me on Twitter. He’s Radiant Group’s spokesperson for next year, and I signed a contract with him.”
