NovelEnglishChapter 393: Marissa was unfamiliar with Burnet, the head of the Hoffman family, or Clarissa. As she glanced up, she caught a brief glimpse of a man and a woman vanishing into the hotel entrance.
The man stood tall and solid, clad in a sharply tailored black suit. From the way he carried himself, Marissa inferred that he was a man of elegance and charm.
The woman, slender with long hair cascading over her shoulders, wore a black dress dotted with red flowers and crystal high-heeled shoes, giving her an air of mystery and sophistication.
As a martial artist, Marissa immediately recognized that both individuals were skilled fighters.

Marissa responded nonchalantly, "It's fine. We're bound to meet today anyway. A few minutes earlier or later doesn't really change much." She then unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to Xander. "To avoid any suspicion that we're here specifically to see Clarissa, let's take a stroll first. Later, we can act surprised to find your brother here and greet him together." "Alright!" Xander replied with an obedient nod. "I'll leave it up to you, Chief Instructor." After his words, he stepped out of the car, circled to the front, and graciously opened the passenger door for Marissa.
As she exited, he carefully placed his hand above her head to shield her from the car roof.
His gesture, coupled with his words, suggested a deep intimacy. "Be careful, babe. It would break my heart if you got hurt." Nearby, hotel staff stretched their necks, curiously observing the woman who was held in such high regard by Xander.
Xander had always vowed never to marry. He was never seen with a woman by his side. Thus, it was quite the shock when he humbly attended to a woman today.
Marissa stepped out of the car into the sunlight, causing the staff to gasp in astonishment.
Lately, rumors of a sham marriage and secret children had been circulating about Tiffany, drawing widespread attention.
The staff had discussed it quietly and seen her pictures online. So, at that moment, all the staff were shocked to see Xander escort Marissa to the Crystal Hotel.
They had assumed Xander's visit to the Nash family was just a casual proposal to Tiffany, but now they were beginning to see things differently.
The staff began to murmur among themselves.
"Oh, my God! Has Mr. Xander Hoffman really changed his mind about remaining a bachelor forever? It seems he did go to the Nash family's hyesterday to propose to Miss Nash." "Judging by how he's treating her, it looks like she has accepted his advances." "Miss Nash is an accomplished artist, well-known in the art community. She's quite a match for Mr. Xander Hoffman. But she has two children. Would Mr. BuHoffman consent to his younger brother marrying Miss Nash?" "The car Mr. Xander Hoffman is driving looks like the new Bentley that Mr. BuHoffman just purchased. Has Xander taken it out without permission? Oh, my goodness! How did the car end up like this? Mr. BuHoffman is going to be furious when he finds out." Even as the staff whispered among themselves, Marissa overheard their conversation.

Without missing a beat, he raised his voice and called out to the staff, "Hey! What are you doing over there? Why didn't you greetthe moment you saw me?" At his beckoning, all the staff hurried over.
The hotel butler approached respectfully, asking, MD Hoffman, how may assist you?"
With a playful grin, Xander announced loudly, "Pay attention) everyone! I'm here to introduce you to my future wife."
