NovelEnglishChapter 807: Before long, Marissa stood at the door of Connor's study.
Connor had skipped work today, shaken by what had happened with Lawrence and Lindsay. After breakfast, he retreated to his study, wanting to keep close so the kids could easily find him if they needed anything.
Marissa, meanwhile, had been utterly floored when she discovered that Connor was the father of the two children. The revelation left her emotions spinning in every direction, her mind a whirlwind of conflicting feelings. But by the tshe reached Connor's study door, she'd regained her composure.
After all, she was Black Mallow-a force to be reckoned with.
As the chief instructor of Doomsday Base and King's successor, she couldn't afford the luxury of falling apart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo matter what life threw at her, she couldn't afford to fall apart. Even when faced with earth-shattering news, she could regain her composure and devise a solution in record time.
So, as she stood outside Connor's study, her demeanor was as calm as ever, betraying no trace of her earlier turmoil.

Though Marissa appeared composed, Marc and Terry-who admired her fiercely-could sense a heaviness in her aura. They exchanged quick, worried glances.
"Is something wrong, Chief Instructor?" Marc ventured cautiously.
Marissa drew in a deep breath and released it slowly before speaking. "I'll be divorcing Connor soon. After that, I'll be moving out. From now on, you two will serve him well." With that, she walked up to the door and knocked. When she heard Connor's voice granting entry, she stepped inside, closing the door quietly behind her.
Marc and Terry exchanged puzzled glances, unable to wrap their heads around Marissa's sudden decision to divorce Connor and leave the Daniels Manor.
They knew Marissa and Connor had married by mistake and had only been living together as a pretense. They had agreed on a divorce date from the start. But lately, their relationship had clearly taken a turn for the better. To Marc and Terry, it seemed like they were genuinely in love. They envisioned a future where they'd be a real couple, living happily ever after and maybe even starting a family.
So why the sudden change of heart? They didn't want to see Marissa and Connor's fairy tale end so abruptly.
Deciding to find out more, Marc and Terry pressed their ears to the door, hoping to listen to what was happening inside. They needed to understand Marissa's sudden desire for a divorce.
After closing the door behind her, Marissa didn't rush forward. Instead, she paused and gazed silently at Connor. Connor was at his desk, engrossed in signing documents, with Domenic standing by, waiting.
Looking up, Connor said to her with a soft tone, "Have you seen Lawrence and Lindsay?" "Yes," Marissa replied. "They're both doing well. Lindsay's fine, and Lawrence just needs smore rest.” "That's good to hear," Connor said with a nod. "Is there something you need? Givea moment, and I'll be right with you." With that, Connor turned back to his paperwork, finishing the last signatures before handing the documents to Domenic.
Domenic took the documents and gave Marissa a polite smile, ready to leave. But just as he turned to go, Marissa stopped him. "Please, Domenic, just a moment." He was taken aback, unsure why Marissa wanted him to stay.

Marissa, with a calm demeanor, explained, “I need your presence while I talk with Mr. Daniels."
She clearly remembered that Connor had claimed he had never had any intimate relationships or children with any Woman, which meant he was clueless about the two kids' origins.
As Connor's assistant, Domenic might hold the missing piece of the puzzle, so Marissa needed him to stick around. Marissa approached Connor's desk and sat directly across from him, her expression serious and unyielding.
Both Connor and Domenic stared at her, eyes wide with anticipation.
Marissa took a deep breath, fixed her gaze on Connor, and said clearlyn and said.
"Connor, I've figured out who the father of the two kids is..."
