Chapter 20 Chapter 20: Suddenly, the small meeting room fell into utter silence. Connor's stare seemed to freeze everything around him, and the blue veins on his forehead stood out, signaling his intense anger. Domenic was too frightened to even breathe Yet, Marissa burst into laughter. "Hahaha..." She placed her fingertips over her red lips, laughing loudly and clearly reveling in the moment. Domenic watched her, speechless, his mouth twitching slightly. Had he known she would be this rude, he would have sent her away before making his report. He thought this village girl was incredibly bold Catching Connor's cold glare, Marissa gradually stopped her laughter. She yawned, stood up, and left the meeting room, thoroughly amused by the situation. After a long silence, Connor abruptly ordered in a stern voice, "Find Doctor Riss!" Connor was determined to uncover the true identity of this audacious doctor, Riss, who had dared to snub him so blatantly. "Yes, sir," Domenic responded, rushing to follow the order though he was inwardly complaining. The highly skilled doctor, Riss, was very mysterious. People knew of Riss' exceptional medical skills, yet nothing about their background, appearance, or even gender. Finding Riss was like searching for a needle in a haystack! In the days that followed, as Connor's newly married wife, Marissa resided in Daniels Manor. Daniels Manor was expansive, consisting of a main building and several auxiliary buildings. As the eldest family member, Arabella naturally occupied the main building. Connor, as the head of the family, also lived there alongside Arabella. The other family members were allotted various auxiliary buildings based on their seniority or roles within the family Your source for updates gVlnovlsConsidering his busy schedule and Arabella's fragile health, to ensure her peace, Connor had another building for work and to conduct smaller meetings. Marissa lived in Connor's exclusive building these days. Apart from joining Arabella for chats and meals in the main building, she spent the rest of her tthere, familiarizing herself with the family's intricate social structure. Connor had provided her with detailed family profiles, and Cade was tasked with introducing her to the family and answering any questions she might have For Marissa, it was important not only to grasp the Daniels family dynamics but also to understand the intricacies of the Nash family. Assuming the identity of Tiffany, she needed to familiarize herself with Tiffany's personality and her place within the Nash family to ensure her own disguise wasn't compromised Meanwhile, the online discussions about Denise and Derek persisted. Since Derek had been forced to take etiquette classes, he had no chance to tell the world that his fiancée was not Denise. Online rumors spread that Denise's family had left Adagend and their current location was a mystery. The entire inteseemed engaged in tracking Denise's movements, with many streamers visiting her university to do livestreams. Thankfully, it was the summer break, and Denise was hidden away in Marissa's rental apartment, safely out of the public eye Marissa hadn't been hfor days, and neither her parents nor Denise had reached out to her. They seemed indifferent to her as long as their financial needs were met. Whenever they called Marissa, it was only to request money, something they seemed to expect as a matter of course. Marissa didn't have strong feelings for such a cold and greedy family. It didn't matter to her whether they reached out or not. She would provide financial support if they asked, ignoring their criticisms and harsh treatment The reason she endured this treatment and stayed in touch with her family was that the Nash family in Adagend was her root. Keeping this link was crucial so that the person she had been waiting for could locate her through it. Marissa was curious to learn more about Tiffany, so she refrained from confronting Derek for now. Additionally, he was unlikely to cause any problems for at least a week. She had learned that the etiquette course he was undergoing was very strict, and he was not permitted to have his phone, making it almost like an imprisonment Tiffany's behavior confused Marissa. Tiffany had suddenly run away, abandoning her marriage to Connor. This happened so unexpectedly that it was incomprehensible. Tiffany had put in significant effort to secure the engagement. Why would she run away on the exact day she and Connor were meant to get married? Neither the Daniels nor the Nash family could explain why Tiffany had disappeared; she seemed to have evaporated. This caused Marissa to suspect that something terrible might have happened to Tiffany. After Marissa expressed her concerns, Cade quickly presented a surveillance video. The footage distinctly showed Tiffany escaping alone on that day. She wasn't forced, and this dispelled Marissa's suspicion Cade explained, "According to our investigation, Tiffany probably escaped overseas. Her trail ends at the border. Her current whereabouts are unknown."
Marissa nodded and said, "Could you provide Tiffany's personal details? I'd like to see all'information from her childhood."
Cade immediately retrieved a document and said, "Yes, I've prepared it for you." Marissa setm aside the other papers, picked up Tiffany's profile, and started examining it thoroughly. Upon completing her review, she was astonished. Tiffany was actually a legend!
