Chapter 174 You’ve Walked Right into My Trap

“Do you think | should be wearing it?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Lucas looked at her and furrowed his brows.

Marion stared at him in bewilderment, “But... | don’t think this necklace suits me, either.” Anecklace worth millions? She dared not wear it so casually!

“Didn’t you wear it well tonight?” Lucas replied, seemingly unimpressed.

Marion hesitated, “Looking good in a casual setting is one thing, but tonight’s occasion is more formal. Besides—” She paused for a moment, “this necklace is too precious.”

Lucas, however, seemed unfazed, “The value of jewelry is assigned by people. It may be expensive, but when you wear it, it perfectly embodies its worth. If | give it to you, it can still showcase its value.”

“No, Mr. Craig, this necklace is really too precious, I-”

“If you don’t want it, just throw it away. Such a small amount of money is nothing to me.” Lucas cut her off mid-explanation. Marion was forced to acknowledge the disparities in their worldview.

55 million dollars did not mean much to Lucas.

Marion watched his retreating figure, then looked down at the necklace in her hands, feeling like she resembled someone pursuing a rich man’s affection for the sake of his wealth.

Lucas had returned to his room. The necklace felt too hot to handle, and after rummaging through her belongings, she found a jewelry box to store it in.

With The Transcendent safely stowed away, Marion finally located her phone and messaged Cassie: [ Cass, Lucas just said The Transcendent was a gift for me.]

Cassie: [Didn’t you say he just wanted you to wear it?] Marion still could not comprehend it: [But he came over with the necklace and said it was for me...] Cassie: [I have a reasonable suspicion that you're showing off your romance to me!!]

Marion: [No, listen to my explanation. | genuinely didn’t lie to you. | truly had no idea Lucas would give me the necklace! Holding a 55-million-dollar necklace puts me in a dilemma. | have no idea what to do!]

Cassie, reliable in critical moments, chimed in: [A 55-million-dollar necklace is indeed a hot potato, but if Mr. Craig insists on giving it to you, you can only accept it.]

Marion agreed, thinking, ‘It seems that’s the only option.’

Chapter 174 You’ve Walked Right into My Trap

After Lucas’s unexpected gesture, Marion lost interest in surfing the internet.

She chatted with Cassie for a while before deciding to go to sleep.

After all, she skipped her afternoon nap, endured a prolonged ‘ordeal’ in the afternoon, and had to rescue the fallen Alice at night.

Marion's energy expenditure that day exceeded her limit, and she fell asleep soon after lying down.

However, her sleep was not very peaceful.

She woke up shortly after, went to the bathroom, and was awakened again by thirst in the middle of the night.

In a daze, she stumbled downstairs to get a drink.

Fortunately, the stairs had motion-sensing night lights.

She leaned on the railing and managed to reach the ground floor, poured herself a glass of water, and drank most of it.

After finishing the water, Marion turned to go back to her room. Her eyes were barely open due to her drowsiness, and she noticed the light under a door.

Without much thought, she walked towards it.

Lucas had just come in from the balcony when he saw Marion, dressed in star-patterned pajamas, stumbling into the room with her eyes half-closed. He paused and watched her fumble towards his.

bed.

Marion felt like her room had expanded. It took her a while to find the soft bed. Sensing its comfort, she lay down, and there was a faint woody fragrance in the air.

She puzzled it over for a second, but her fatigue overwhelmed her, and she drifted off to sleep.

Lucas, observed the woman sleeping on the bed, and could not help but smile. He walked over and. climbed onto the bed on the other side. “You've walked right into my trap, foolish bunny.”
