Chapter 27 You Can’t Beat Me

Last night was the most peaceful sleep Marion had had in a while. She woke up at 7:30 the next morning, and after freshening up, she realized someone had sent her a message late at night.

[Marion, you can’t beat me.]

Ah, the familiar self–love. Without thinking, she knew it was from Sally. Unfortunately, Sally was quite cowardly; every time she messaged, it was from a different number.

Marion glanced at it, feeling remarkably calm. She understood why Sally was being so arrogant.

Cassie bombarded her with dozens of WhatsApp messages in a row, and Marion scrolled through the screenshots to figure out what was happening. Cassie’s complaints already filled several screens.

[I’m truly speechless! How does Sally manage to debase herself every time she comes near you? Such a lousy actress!]

[Oh, with her looks, even if she’s a good actress, it’s still challenging to find a place in the entertainment industry!]

[And her crashing your family dinner, is she trying to show off in front of her future mother–in–law? Doesn’t she notice that Jameson’s mom does not approve?]

[Is she the one behind this trending topic again? It’s the same routine every time. Does Sally think you’re a fool?]

There were so many complaints. Marion quickly scanned through them and scrolled to the bottom: [ Don’t be upset, I-]

Before Marion could finish typing, her phone started ringing.

She glanced at the screen. Marion typically did not answer calls from unknown numbers, but as the call came in while she was typing, she accidentally accepted it. “Hello, this is Marion.”

“It’s me, Mrs. Craig.”

A low and gentle voice came through the phone, surprising Marion. “Mr. Craig, good morning.”
