Lexie hurried over, looking anxious. "I thought you two were arguing, so I wanted to give Mr. Houston a chance to clear up any misunderstanding. I'm sorry. He didn't actually want to dance with me."
The other guests looked outside, eager to witness a classic showdown between the two women.
Debra, however, only gave a faint smile. "It's just a dance. What does it even mean?"
Her indifference took Lexie by surprise and hurt Marion's feelings.
"But," Debra continued, "it's indeed improper for him to dance with another woman while we're still married."
Marion tensed up. "What do you want me to do?"
Debra raised an eyebrow. "What, you want to make up for it?"
"Yes." His response was firm.
"Then jump into that fountain," she said. "And don't get out unless I say so."
It was winter in Orkgate, and the weather was brutally cold.
Anyone who jumped into that fountain at this hour would end up catching a cold and falling ill.
Lexie panicked. "That's too much, Mrs. Houston. You can't just humiliate people..."
Before she could finish, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Marion had already jumped into the fountain without hesitation.
In no time, his face was flushed from the cold. His lips paled, and droplets of water clung to his hair, forming a thin layer of frost.
