Chapter 124 Are You Talking to Me?
Miley gave up but still had concerns about Marion’s shin.
“Is your leg alright?”
“It should be fine.”
While they were talking, a girl in a black cocktail dress walked in, attracting everyone’s attention.
It was Althea Kusher, the red-hot rising star in Mystara’s music scene.
Even though Marion was not into online surfing, she had heard of Althea’s fame.
Althea was Kirk’s junior, the winner of the Mystara New Artist Award five years ago. From the moment
she rose to fame, her popularity never waned.
No wonder there was such grandeur at the event. With Althea present, the charity event was sure to be
doubly successful.
“Miss Althea, you’ve worked hard. It’s so hot, and yet you came over. Have some water first.”
The staff member who had been rude to Marion earlier was talking to Althea, eager to please her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarion found it amusing. It was reminiscent of those silver-tongued eunuchs in historical dramas.
She chuckled.
Her quiet laughter caught Althea’s eye, as she took her seat at the makeup table.
As she looked at Marion, Althea’s expression changed. She smirked at Marion. “The organizers really
have no taste, inviting anyone and everyone. Are you Marion Cartier?”
Althea stared straight at Marion. “Don’t think that winning a few insignificant awards abroad makes you
impressive. Let me advise you, it’s better to be low-key!”
Marion, who had been a bystander just a moment ago, was suddenly openly criticized. The smile on
her face instantly disappeared, and she coldly retorted at Althea without reservation, “Since you look
down on the awards I’ve won, why don’t you go and get a few of those ‘insignificant’ awards yourself? I
don’t have any other requirements. Just win the same ‘insignificant’ awards I’ve won.”
Marion sneered and said, “If you can’t do it, then please shut up! Ignorance is not in itself a problem,
but being ignorant and stupid is!”
Althea had never been openly rebuked like that before, and her face immediately darkened.
“Who are you calling ignorant?”
Marion took a bottle of mineral water from Miley, took a sip, and leisurely replied, “Are you talking to
me?”
Marion exchanged a glance with Miley, who pursed her lips and smiled.

2/2
Their actions almost explicitly stated that they were mocking Althea.
Althea’s expression became increasingly unpleasant.
Seeing that, the staff member from earlier quickly signaled to someone nearby.
“This is Althea’s exclusive changing room. How did all these people get in?”
As soon as the staff spoke, two other staff members immediately approached Marion and Miley.
“Sorry, this is Althea’s exclusive changing room. Could you please step out?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMiley frowned. “Aren’t we here for the charity event today? Don’t you only have this one dressing
room?”
As Miley spoke, two more people entered, and one of them was the Cello teacher Marion knew,
Franchesca Hannigan.
However, before the two could exchange greetings, the previous staff members immediately ushered
Marion and Miley out.
“Please leave. Miss Althea doesn’t want to see you here.”
Franchesca and the other person who entered were also there for the charity event, and their presence
indicated that the dressing room was only partially reserved for Althea.
But to please Althea, the staff members were lying and insisting that Marion leave.
Miley was furious, her face turning dark. Just as she was about to retaliate, Marion raised her hand to
stop her.
“Alright, please inform your organizers that my leg injury has flared up, and I won’t be participating in
today’s performance.”
Then Marion glanced at Miley and walked out without looking back.
