NovelEnglishChapter 14 Chapter 14: Marissa stood outside the Palace Hotel, her eyes tracing the lines of the grand structure. It was Blebert's most prestigious hotel, a place far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Derek's family had planned a lavish banquet to celebrate his return, a display of their extraordinary status. She had spent years traveling the globe but returned to Blebert a year ago mainly to honor her commitment to marry Derek She had hoped to keep a low profile, but Derek had irritated her. If she still kept a low profile, it would mean suppressing her anger, and that was not how she operated. Today, she resolved to give Derek a lesson he wouldn't forget. If she didn't, there was no telling what extror bizarre actions he might take next With determination, she pulled out her phone and used her hacking abilities to locate Derek. She swiftly determined his exact location-the presidential suite on the hotel's top floor, known as the most luxurious in Blebert. Locating him was easy, but gaining entry posed a real challenge. The Palace Hotel was a regular venue for wealthy businesspeople, celebrities, and sometimes even international dignitaries and high-profile corporate figures. It was known for its strict security measures She couldn't gain entry as a simple country girl, yet she also didn't want to expose her other identity. She needed to employ a certain tactic. Within ten minutes, Marissa had sneaked into the hotel's staff lounge, disguised herself in a staff uniform, and merged with a team delivering dishes to the banquet, unnoticed by anyone. Holding a pot of soup, she accompanied the team to a dining room. Just then, she noticed Derek leaving the room, busy talking on his phone as he walked into the restroom This was her moment. She quietly followed and stood against the wall outside the men's restroom, waiting for Derek to cout. Now a recognized heir, Derek had abandoned his once humble demeanor. Dressed in a designer suit, he strutted around with a pompous air, speaking in a loud and tacky manner that screamed of new money. Marissa could hear him clearly from outside the restroom, boasting to a former colleague "Ha, yeah, bro, I'm loaded now. Money's not an issue!" "That fiancée from the countryside? No way would I marry her. Even if she groveled at my feet, I wouldn't spare her a glance. Can you believe her family once looked down on me? Just wait and see how I will deal with her!" Derek finished his call and exited the restroom, still muttering curses. Seeing Marissa standing at the door startled him, and he stumbled back, thinking he was seeing things Marissa stood in front of him with the pot of soup, her back against the wall, one leg casually raised, exuding a cool, slightly roguish vibe. She tilted her head and smirked at Derek, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Mr. Wealthy, looks like this country girl has managed to get close to you." Despite his tough talk over the phone, Derek was visibly afraid when he saw Marissa. Marissa had always been the fighter, the one who defended him during their childhood. Over the years, he had cto view her as formidable and fearless "Marissa? What-what are you doing here? I'm warning you, don't try anything stupid. My family controls this whole floor. There are numerous elite bodyguards right outside. If you try to hit me, you won't make it out alive!" Marissa just scoffed. Without saying a word, she dumped the entire pot of boiling soup on Derek's head. “Ah... mm!" Derek let out a scream of pain, his cries muffled as Marissa quickly shoved her cap into his mouth. Her actions were quick and precise, leaving Derek no opportunity to react. She knocked him to the floor, seized his hair, and dragged him into a stall, where she began to beat him mercilessly. Initially, Derek tried to fight back and escape, attempting to call for help. But Marissa didn't give him a chance. The more he struggled, the more fiercely she struck him Eventually, Derek stopped resisting and began to plead for mercy. Once convinced that he had understood his lesson, Marissa paused and grabbed his ear, demanding, "Will you correct the rumors online?" Frantically, Derek nodded. "Mm-hmm!" "Will you stop making my life difficult?" Derek vigorously nodded again. "Mm-mm!"
"Remember what happened today. Don't think that just because you're wealthy, I can't reach you. If you try anything else, I'll break your legs!! With that final threat, Marissa let go of Derek. She dusted off her hands, stood up, and walked out of the restroom, planning to exit without drawing attention. However, as she turned the corner, Derek stumbled out of the restroom, yelling, "Help! Someone help! Catch her, catch her!"
Instantly, dozens of black-clad bodyguards sprang into action, and swiftly, they had Marissa encircled in E the hallway outside the restroom
