NovelEnglishChapter 41: The mood shifted abruptly from joyous to tense as Marissa's words sank in. The family's faces darkened with displeasure as they looked at her warily, clearly uncomfortable with her presence. They didn't ask about the reason for her statement; their disdain was evident from their silence. Tiffany had endured countless similar treatments in the past, which had led her to becincreasingly isolated within the family. Yet today, it was Marissa standing before them instead of Tiffany. She ignored their disdain and declared confidently, "I'll be moving back today." "Why are you moving back? Don't you live with Connor?" Sansa asked, her eyebrows knitting together in visible disapproval "I've married Connor at the City Hall, but we haven't had the wedding ceremony yet. It seems more appropriate forto temporarily live here," Marissa responded. Upon hearing this, Balthasar agreed. "Indeed, it's not suitable for you to live with Connor before the wedding ceremony. People might gossip. You should return and stay with us." "Thank you, Grandpa," Marissa said. But she didn't go upstairs immediately, unsure of which room was Tiffany's In that moment, Sansa assumed her role as the hostess of the family and turned to her. "Tiffany, since you are older than Ayla, the large princess bedroom rightfully belongs to you. However, after you left ha few days ago, we assumed you wouldn't return, so I reassigned that room to Ayla. Your belongings have been moved to the guest room down the west corridor. You may stay there temporarily. After all, you'll be getting married and moving out soon." Without a word, Marissa began climbing the stairs. As Ayla watched her go, her face contorted with scorn. Sansa had always pretended to respect Tiffany out of fear of gossip, allowing her to live in the large princess bedroom. This had long irritated Ayla, who had proudly taken over the room a few days earlier. Now, with all her family members thinking she had Dr. Riss's support and indulging her, the thought of giving up the room seemed utterly impossible As Ayla was still lost in thought, a series of loud bangs erupted from upstairs. A maid quickly descended the stairs in a state of panic and blurted out, "Tiffany is throwing all of Ayla's belongings out of her room!" "What?" Ayla exclaimed. Immediately, she leapt up and dashed upstairs, with everyone else following close behind. When they reached the second floor, they found Marissa in the midst of throwing Ayla's possessions into the hallway, leaving a chaotic mess behind "Ahh!" Ayla was on the verge of breaking down. Marissa had not only discarded her everyday items and expensive jewelry but also her certificates and trophies—each of her proud achievements was now treated like worthless trash Sansa, shaking and furious, pointed at Marissa and shouted, "Tiffany, you ill-mannered brat, how could you treat your cousin so cruelly?" In the past, such a confrontation would have made Tiffany tremble with fear. But now, Marissa just laughed, her laugh bold and arrogant. "Sansa, before you talk toabout manners, shouldn't you first understand that taking things without their owner's consent is stealing? My room and belongings were moved without my consent. Can you still call yourselves well-mannered?" "But you've occupied this room for years. It's my turn now!" Ayla snapped back, her eyes filled with anger "You're just a pathetic loser. You don't deserve such a nice room,” Marissa responded with a smirk. “My father bought this villa, and you are living in my house. Unless I say so, you're not entitled to this room."
"You've crossed a line!" Ayla seethed, her face red with anger, yet she was speechless. Unfazed, Marissa continued, "Really? How about we settle this in court?yers see if the court wil side withand evict you all." Her threat silenced any further protests. Marissa then quickly moved Tiffany's belongings back to her room and slammed the door with a loud bang. Once alone, she swiftly cracked the code to the safe, ignoring the complaints outside. Inside the safe, she discovered a significant secret
