The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call

Chapter 1179 Do Not Marry Him
Lucius Darnell's figure hadn't changed at all compared to his peers.
His suit's color had changed from his usual dark red to a somber gray, showing a sense of maturity and gravitas. There was an indescribable sense of aloofness when he looked at people.
Lucius had a laptop on his lap and seemed to be working. The light cast on his deeply defined features gave him a serious and composed look. It was a stark
contrast to the reckless man he once was.
Marie's gaze froze. The last time he saw Lucius was at her wedding.
The reckless, free-spirited man had called her amidst the wedding crowd. He sounded drunk, or perhaps it was just his usual nonchalant self. His voice was
frivolous.
"Hey, listen to me. Don't marry him. Can't you take a look at me? I'll have you instead
if you agree."
Lucius' Cascadian wasn't very fluent then. He carried an accent he couldn't shake off, having grown up abroad. His classmates used to say it gave him an Emstia gentleman's charm.
Marie found it strange, especially since she had never had any interaction with
Lucius.
How did he even get her phone number, and why was he making such a joke? Moreover, he was invited by Shane as a groomsman.
Marie didn't think much of it at that time and hung up the phone immediately.
Marie assumed that Lucius was probably drunk and had dialed the wrong number. Even if it wasn't a mistake, it had to be a joke. Sla*th the FindNovil.not website on Gøøgle to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
She felt uneasy about it back then and hence, had never mentioned it to anyone.
After hanging up, Marie glanced at Lucius a couple of times. She saw him shaking dice at the party, surrounded by crowds of people. Only then did Marie breathe a sigh

It was probably just a wrong number, especially since he hadn't mentioned her
name
in the phone call.
Nevertheless, the phone call left such a deep impression on Marie that seeing
Lucious now felt almost surreal. She had just vowed to avoid people from her past,
and here he was, right in front of her.
However, Hawford was only so big. Moreover, Marie's social circles were the same as before. It was unrealistic to truly avoid anyone.
With this in mind, Marie smiled gracefully. "Long time no see. What a coincidence."
"Indeed." Lucius had clearly changed a lot.
He used to be more flamboyant. But now he resembled a charismatic successful
man, fitting into the popular portrayal of a "distinguished middle-aged man" often
seen in TV dramas. He was both wealthy and charming.
"I told my driver to stop since I figured it was you. When did you return to Hawford?"
Lucius asked.
Marie shifted slightly to her right. "I've been back for a while now."

Marie hesitated for a moment before
she heard more vehicles lining

decline further and risk causing a

slightly and got into the car sideways.

The Rolls Royce had ample space. It didn't feel crowded even with two people in
the
back seat. There was a space in the middle for cups, and there was a built-in
refrigerator, too.
Marie had experienced illness, but she had never been poor, so she was
accustomed
to these luxuries.
The driver was sizing up Marie through the rearview mirror. Lucius had many admirers, including younger women in their early 20s who were infatuated with
him.

However, it was common knowledge that he was a staunch non-marriage
advocate and had never made an exception for anyone.
Nevertheless, Lucius did have one criterion for his female companions-they had
to be fiery and defiant.
