The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 450 The Long–Awaited Moment

It was Preston’s first time watching a jet ski race, and he found it surprisingly entertaining.

As the announcer read out JJ’s score, Preston instinctively glanced over at Lucas. Impressive, huh, old buddy? First place.”

He paused for a moment before adding, “But hey, just a friendly reminder that JJ might be amazing, but she’s your past. You’ve got a wife now.”

Lucas shot him a disdainful look. “Shut your mouth and contribute something to society instead of spewing nonsense all the time.”

“Tsk.”

Preston chuckled, took out his phone, switched to video mode, and filmed Lucas for a few seconds. Then, he aimed the camera at the big screen and panned to the audience seats for a while before saving the video and sending it directly to the F4 group,

He waved his phone in front of Lucas. “I’ve recorded it. You better treat me well, or I’ll

send this video to Marion!

“And if you two end up divorcing, I’ll personally bring out this video to hammer you!”

Lucas gave a light scoff and did not bother responding to him.

Marion sat in the backstage resting area after coming down from the race track.

Just then, Ariana and Betty approached her as if nothing had happened. “JJ, congratulations! It looks like you’ve clinched first place again this time!”

Marion glanced at Ariana’s outstretched hand, set down her sports drink, picked up her phone, and sent a message to Nina.

Seeing her silent, Ariana’s expression turned sour. “Come on. JJ, it wasn’t intentional

earlier.”

Marion picked up her phone and walked straight out of the resting area.

Cassie had sent her several pictures just now, and Marion thought they were close–ups of her on the big screen. However, when she opened her WhatsApp, she realized they were photos of Lucas!

Lucas was also here?

Marion’s hands trembled, and her heart inexplicably raced, feeling an indescribable

sense of nervousness.

The second round of the competition had been going on for over ten minutes now. In about an hour or so, it should be over.

This hour was excruciating for Marion. When she heard the announcement of the end of

the competition, her heart started racing again.

After the competition, all the contestants gathered on stage for the awards ceremony and the final group photo.

It was already past eleven o’clock, and the sun was blazing. The other contestants looked tired, but Marion, wearing a mask, stood out among them, drawing a lot of attention.

Curiosity stirred among the audience as the host announced the first place.

This time, it was not Marion but a newcomer from the second group, Mary Jane, who

clocked in six seconds faster than Marion, securing the first spot. Marion ended up in

second place.

Ariana smirked at Marion. “Looks like you’re not cutting it anymore, JJ.”

Ignoring Ariana completely, Marion headed straight for the stage.

She had been on the winner’s podium many times before, but never had she felt this

nervous.

She wondered who exactly Amber had arranged to be there. If they were not present, when would it be appropriate for her to remove her mask?

As Marion pondered this question, the host called out her name. “What’s on JJ’s mind?

She‘

not even taking the trophy.”

Marion snapped back to reality, accepting the trophy from the usher. The host teased her, “JJ, not taking first place this time. Any thoughts?”

The microphone was handed to her, and all eyes were on her. Marion responded coolly, I’m glad. I finally have some competition.”

It might have sounded a bit arrogant, but coming from JJ, it seemed perfectly normal. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

With the award ceremony for the top three concluded, Marion frowned.

Where was the person Amber arranged?

Suddenly, someone bumped into her. Before Marion could react, she felt the elastic band of her mask snap

The anticipated moment had finally arrived. The mask fell from Marion’s face, and countless cameras pointed at her.
