The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 17 I’m Not Going to Forgive Him

Richard spoke and took another gulp of water, “Jameson is not a suitable match. Even if he kneels to apologize to you, | won’t let you marry him! As for the dinner gathering, | will-”

“Dad!” Marion hurriedly interjected.

Unable to bear the pain and sorrow, Richard continued, “Mar my dear, Jameson is not worthy. If it weren’t for the incident at the intersection that day, you would have-”

Marion understood what Richard was getting at. She shook her head, “Dad, I’m not going to forgive him.”

Pausing for a moment, she spoke coldly. “Jameson wants to apologize to me, right? Well, let’s see how he plans to apologize to us! Besides, he indeed owes me and the Cartiers an apology!”

She wanted to see how Jameson tried to apologize! Richard initially wanted to refuse this dinner gathering. He did not want Marion to have any contact with the Royces anymore. However, hearing Marion’s words, he suddenly felt that attending this dinner gathering was necessary!

After all, Mar did not do anything wrong. Richard hated the way people had spoken about Marion over a month ago. While the Royces blamed them with their words when the whole internet was ridiculing Marion, did they come forward to say anything in her defense?

Richard looked at Marion, his only daughter. Since his wife’s early death, he had played the role of both father and mother, raising his daughter with care. Marion had rarely cried when she was a child, but that day, she fell into his arms, bawling her eyes out in pain.

Now, recalling that moment, Richard’s heart still ached. He felt Marion was right; the Royces owed them an apology! “Marion, you're right. We should indeed accept this dinner invitation! Don’t worry though. | will be with you through all of it!” Marion nodded, relying on him as she did when she was a child, “With you there, I’m not afraid.”

Despite Richard's anger, his friendship with the Royces had lasted for over forty years. While Richard was displeased with Jameson as a son-in-law, he did not say anything too decisive. After discussing

with Marion, Richard called Joseph and arranged a day for the dinner.

Back in her room, Marion thought about Richard’s words, especially the part where he told her he believed in her. Her eyes welled up with tears again.

Initially, when she wanted to marry Jameson, Richard was not very supportive. She had not informed

him in advance, letting Jameson and his parents come over for a marriage proposal directly. Despite Richard’s reservations about Jameson, he had agreed, considering the good relationship between the two families and his long-standing friendship with Joseph.

Now that she and Lucas have registered their marriage, Richard remains unaware, but he continues to believe in her and support her as always. Marion did not know how to describe her overwhelming feelings of gratitude.

Alone in her room, Marion could not hold back her tears, but they were not intentional. Seeing her phone light up, she wiped away the tears as she picked it up.

Lucas’s WhatsApp nickname was the letter ‘L’. Marion had not added a note to his contact yet, but with that distinctive username and profile picture, she immediately recognized him.

As she read the message, its content left Marion puzzled. Lucas was asking if Richard had arrived

Frowning in confusion, she replied: [He’s home.] Unable to resist, she added: [Mr. Craig, did my go to see you?]

[No, | happened to be at the same hotel as Mr. Cartier.]

[Oh, thanks for your concern. My dad has been home for an hour.]

Lucas seemed like an attentive person, showing concern about her father.
