The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 54 Who Let Her In?

Marion woke up early the next day. Richard was aware that she was recording an accompaniment for a friend so he promptly assigned Evan to assist her.

The piano performance would be Marion’s first interaction with the outside world since her wedding day. In the past days, she had only interacted with Richard, Cassie, and Lucas.

That day marked her re-entry into a social setting. Marion deliberately applied what she considered perfect morning makeup. Then she chose a branded vintage- style dress and paired it with a light cardigan.

The recording was indoors, and Marion had experienced the chill of the air conditioning in a previous session.

Richard was pleased to see Marion looking lovely. It made him feel a restrained sense of accomplishment, even if he had to attend a social gathering he disliked. Richard was all smiles that morning as he watched his daughter.

Father and daughter had breakfast together before going their separate ways. Marion had met Kirk Hollander at a performance abroad, where they happened to sit next to each other.

After realizing they were both from Mystara, they chatted a bit.

Later, thanks to Cassie, Marion learned that Kirk was a highly renowned singer in the country, and Cassie happened to be his fan.

Marion knew Kirk, but she did not pay much attention to the entertainment industry. At that time, Kirk had worn a mask, and they exchanged only a few words.

They added each other on WhatsApp, but Marion did not think much of it. It was only when Cassie noticed Kirk’s WhatsApp profile picture that she pointed out to Marion who he really was.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Both of them were involved in music, and later, due to some collaborations, they got to know each other better. About two and a half months ago, Kirk had suddenly messaged her privately to ask if she could play on his new album.

Marion was surprised because she was not keen on publicity, so she did not have much popularity or fame in Mystara. Those who sought her collaboration were usually industry insiders. The superstar Kirk had unexpectedly approached her for a collaboration and offered her a generous reward. Whether it was for the

money or their friendship, Marion found it hard to refuse.

Hence, that day’s collaboration came to fruition.

The traffic conditions were not great, with frequent stops and starts. 2/2

Marion arrived at Kirk’s place at 9:20 AM, just ten minutes before the recording was scheduled to begin. She quickly had Evan take out and unfold her wheelchair.

Without letting him accompany her, Marion sat in it and pushed herself into the building. As soon as she inquired at the company, Marion was stopped.

“Hello, miss. May | ask whom you're looking for?”

Marion nodded. “Hello, I’m Marion Cartier. I’m here to play piano for Kirk Hollander.”

Kirk was a superstar at Thyme Entertainment, and upon hearing her name, the reception immediately allowed her to pass. She even walked out from the front desk area to assist her. “Miss Marion, let me take you up.”

“No need, | can manage on my own.” Marion felt slightly embarrassed, thinking that the receptionist may have thought that she had a physical disability.

Despite Marion’s insistence, the receptionist did not say anything else and simply pressed the button for the 15th floor before leaving.

As Marion stepped out on the fifteenth floor, she heard a man speak. “Where’s Kirk?” The voice was soon followed by a lazy male voice saying, “Here.”

Marion smiled and raised her voice slightly. “Kirk!”

Her call attracted the attention of many staff members in her direction. When they saw the beautiful woman sitting at the elevator entrance, quite a few people were puzzled and surprised.

Kirk's manager was visibly taken aback. Perhaps he thought that she was an overzealous fan. He looked at her with a scowl. “Who let her in?”
