Chapter 75: As soon as Marissa caught sight of Connor, she tensed up guiltily, unable to meet his piercing gaze. His expression was as grim as it had been in the hotel, his demeanor cold, sending chills down her spine. He seemed deeply upset about the previous night. What a narrow-minded guy! All she did was sleep beside him for one night, yet he looked as if she had committed a grave sin. Why was he so furious? As she inwardly complained about Connor, he suddenly mentioned, "Grandma wantedto tell you she's waiting for you in the lounge area." "Okay... Understood," Marissa quickly replied and left in a hurry to distance herself from him "Mr. Daniels, may I accompany Ms. Nash there?” For the first time, Terry showed a keen interest in assisting Marissa. With Connor's nod of approval, Terry immediately followed her Your adventure awaits at galnovsOnce they turned a corner and reached a less crowded area, Terry's demeanor changed, and he looked at Marissa with disdain, saying, “You should stop trying to impress Mr. Daniels, you village girl!" Marissa looked at him, puzzled. Terry mistook her surprise for disappointment and smirked with satisfaction "To be honest, Mr. Daniels spent last evening with Dr. Riss. They had a great time. With someone as remarkable as Riss around, how could Mr. Daniels ever like you? Give up on your fantasies!" He looked her up and down with disdain and added, "You may be pretty, but you're not the right match for Mr. Daniels. A remarkable woman like Riss is the only one who deserves him. Got that?" After saying those words, Terry felt a surge of relief, pleased to have expressed his disdain for the village girl. He eagerly awaited Marissa's dejected reaction, but it never came. Marissa remained silent. After listening to his tirade, she merely gave him a slight smile, her eyes radiating more contempt than before. She even muttered under her breath, "Idiot!" Then she turned and walked away, not giving Terry a chance to respond. Terry was left speechless and flustered. As he watched Marissa's retreating figure, his anger surged. Earlier in the day at the hotel, Riss had called him an "idiot." Now, Marissa had echoed the sentiment. Was he really that stupid? He had been upset when Riss insulted him, dismissing her as mistaken. But now that Marissa had said the sthing, he began to question himself. Was he truly an idiot? The more he dwelled on it, the more dejected he felt. He hung his head and returned to where Connor was Marc noticed Terry's dejected mood and asked with concern, “What's the matter?" Terry, feeling wronged and his face flushing red, inquired, “Marc, do I really look like an idiot?" Marc was shocked Before Marc could respond, Connor said irritably, "You are indeed not smart!" Connor then shot Terry a disdainful glance and walked away. He had been in a sour mood already, and Terry's self-doubt in his presence was the last straw. If he didn't scold Terry, who else could he scold to alleviate his frustration? Connor's harsh words were intended to vent his own frustrations. However, for Terry, they felt like a massive blow, shattering his self-esteem Marc tried to console Terry, saying, "Mr. Daniels isn't himself today. Try not to take it personally."
But Terry was beyond consolation.
He broke down, saying, “Riss called'idiot' this morning, the village girl NO did the sjust now, and now Mr.
Daniels says I'm not smart. I must really be stupid. Waah..."
