Chapter 172 Marion Really is a Good Person
The events that night felt like an incredible dream to Marion.
However, she was not the only one who found the night’s happenings unbelievable.
Veronica was utterly perplexed. Given that Alice was destined to marry Lucas, Veronica could not
fathom why, during such a perfect opportunity, Alice not only refrained from taking action against
Marion but even spoke up in her defense.
Veronica pondered for over half an hour but could not comprehend Alice’s thought process.
After hearing that Alice had changed into a new dress, Veronica abandoned the conversation with the
affluent ladies and swiftly went to find Alice.
It was not just Veronica who failed to understand.

If Alice had remained silent, Marion would have found it challenging to defend herself, regardless of

Veronica glanced at Rebecca, nodded, and then shifted her gaze back to Alice.
“Why did you speak up for Marion just now?”

Veronica, already puzzled, was at a loss for words upon hearing Alice’s response. What was
happening?
The alliance between the Gardner and Craig families had been decided three years ago, and Alice had
known for just as long that she would be the future Mrs. Craig.
Now, with Lucas suddenly marrying Marion, it was understandable if Alice felt upset. However, s not
only refrained from expressing anger but also defended Marion.

“Have you lost your mind, Alice? The alliance between our families was agreed upon three years ago.
You’ve mentioned before that you quite like Lucas. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, you should
have been engaged this year. Now that Marion has emerged and taken your place, why do you still
think highly of her?”
Alice looked at Veronica and pursed her lips. “But, Marion really is a good person.”
