r 19 Marion’s Intentions Jameson realized he had said too much, “Alright, it’s late. You should rest, and I'll do the same.* Sally, oblivious to what he just revealed, obediently wished him good night and hung up.
After ending the call, Jameson took out a cigarette and lit it. He could not believe that after so many years of friendship, Marion could truly be so heartless to let go just like that!
Compared to certain individuals who could not sleep at night, Marion had a peaceful night’s rest. During breakfast, she noticed Cassie’s sarcastic remarks online. [Pah, so what if the ring wasn’t for Sally? Should he have taken Sally along to help choose the ring for you?]
[Sally suffered a setback this time, buying a bunch of online supporters to portray herself as an innocent white flower. It’s a shame she doesn’t peel off that thick skin of hers!]
Cassie used to be cautious about making such comments in front of Marion. Still, after Marion casually joined in the banter yesterday, Cassie understood — her friend had indeed transformed!
Marion chuckled at Cassie’s comments. Richard, sitting across from her, also smiled faintly, “What's so amusing, Marion?” “Just chatting with Cassie, and she’s venting her frustration-
When Marion was halfway through, she realized, “What is Cassie complaining about?” Marion handed her phone over, cautious of Richard's feelings. She observed his expression while saying, Dad, don’t mind the online stuff. Yesterday, the person who got scolded the most wasn’t me.”
Though Richard, being of an older generation, was not adept at internet surfing, he could not remain oblivious to the significant online buzz about his beloved daughter’s affairs. “I know. But | have to say, Marion, your counterattack yesterday was splendid!”

Marion took her phone back. She was pleased with his reaction. “Don’t worry, dad. | won't let people bully me again. | used to be so naive. It’s precisely because of my naivety that Sally thought | was an easy target. | may be naive, but I’m not foolish!”
The dinner was scheduled for the evening. After breakfast, Richard went to work, leaving Marion with another important task: dealing with the marital home she shared with Jameson.
The house, a 580-square—meter, three-story villa in River Garden, was purchased by the Royces ata market value of 180 million. Marion had no intention of taking advantage of the Royces. She did not
contribute a penny, and she was not going to claim any part of it. In the morning, Marion contacted a lawyer to handle the paperwork, returning the house as a gift to Jameson.
With the formalities completed, in the afternoon, Marion headed to the villa with the keys. This villa, intended to be Marion and Jameson’s marital home, was in an excellent location. Chapter 19 Marion’s Intentions

Originally, they were supposed to move in after the wedding. Now, everything had changed. Marion opened the villa’s door and ordered all the furniture to be moved out. Although Jameson purchased the villa, she oversaw the decoration and furniture, paying for everything. She would not take advantage of Jameson; he should not expect to take advantage of her.
Of course, there were also the wedding photos hanging on the wall. Marion took a kitchen knife and cut them into pieces. At the same time, Jameson, who had just finished a meeting, received Marion’s gift deed. It was their marital home. What did Marion want to achieve?
Meanwhile, Jameson’s secretary, Joe Sedwig hesitated to speak, “Mr. Royce-”
“What is it?”
“This is the key to the house sent by Miss Cartier. She also asked someone to pass on a message to you.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
At this point, the secretary was reluctant to continue.
Jameson’s face turned grim, “Go on!”
“Miss Cartier said the villa is returned to you. She had the furniture inside moved out as well.”
Upon hearing this, Jameson tore the gift deed to pieces.
