Chapter 347: Sheppard, who had fallen unconscious from anger and been carted away to rest, had now woken up. He stirred awake, and the first news that greeted him was astonishing: the legendary artist known as Only was revealed to be Tiffany.

As he gathered himself, he rose from his bed, still half-dazed, and staggered toward the banquet hall. There, he stumbled upon a startling scene: Remy was kneeling before Marissa. The sight was so shocking that it nearly made him choke on his own breath. The surprise was enough to make him faint once more.
However, at that moment, all attention was focused on Marissa. No one spared a glance for this elder who had forsaken his family and severed ties with his blood relatives for personal gain.
Marissa, oblivious to Sheppard, watched Remy with a faint smile and murmured, "Oh, Mr. Sugden." MORE UPDATES IN GAL"No, please, not that," Remy protested quickly. "Don't callthat. Considering your relationship with my father, it's I who should be showing you deference. Just callRemy, or even Rem, if you prefer." "How could I possibly do that?" Marissa uttered, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "You're the most powerful man in the underworld. How could anyone, regardless of their wealth, fail to address you with the respect you deserve and call you Mr. Sugden? You have the power to determine the fate of both the Nash and the Sanchez families on a whim. I fear that being called 'Mr. Sugden' might not be flattering enough for you." Before Remy could respond, Kalel raised his crutch and struck him forcefully. "You scoundrel! What have you been up to all this toutside? How did you manage to upset Miss Nash? Explain yourself!" Remy grimaced under the severe beating, staying motionless as he braced for each of Kalel's blows, making no attempt to dodge them. Despite his authoritative demeanor outside, he was deeply respectful towards his father. When the beating finally ceased, Remy adjusted his kneeling posture and pleaded with Marissa, “Please, Miss Nash, don't be upset with me. I was foolishly unaware. I didn't realize you were the famed Only, and I confess I have caused great offense to both the Nash and the Sanchez families." After pausing briefly, he quickly reassured her, "I promise, I won't repeat that mistake. You can trust me." Finding humor in his earnestness, Marissa attempted a smile. "So, you're saying you won't pressure the Nash family to take Sansa and Ayla back anymore?" Remy vigorously shook his head. "No, absolutely not. That's for the Nash family to decide. I won't interfere again." "And you're not going to assist the Clifford family in undermining the Sanchez family?" Marissa probed, her voice tinged with amusement at his responses.

Marissa glanced at Wesson, who was so shocked that he looked utterly foolish. She couldn't help but tease, "And what about the Clifford family? They've been a thorn in our side for a while.” Remy turned a fierce look toward Wesson and declared, "As long as I'm around, anyone who tries to harm the Sanchez family is making an enemy of me. I'll ensure they find no foothold in Blebert." Wesson's face drained of color. Remy, once a staunch ally of the Clifford family, had instantly pledged his support to their arch-enemy. What would becof the Clifford family now? Marissa withdrew her gaze and addressed Remy with a tone of detachment. "The Nash family hasn't exactly found it easy to accumulate wealth." Instantly, Remy penned a check for one billion dollars and presented it solemnly to Balthasar. This gesture was his way of repaying, with interest, the sums Sansa had over the years offered him as bribes on behalf of the Nash family.
The sight nearly overwhelmed Sansa and Ayla. Stunned, they watched Marissa deliver her barbs with biting sarcasm to Remy, who responded with meek apologies. It was beyond belief for them that he was actually returning the billion to the Nash family.
As Balthasar accepted the check with both eagerness and reverence, Sansa lost her composure. She graspech Remy's hand in a panic, pleading with him, "Please, Mr. Sugden, take a moment to think. There has to be a mistake. Tiffany's nothing but a sham. She can't possibly be Only.
Don't be deceived by her!"
Ayla joined in, tugging at Remy's sleeve, and insisted alongside Sansa, "Absolutely, there's mistake, Mr. Sugden! You need to figure out the truth, or you'll disgrace yourself by bowing down to her!" Despite their earnest appeals, Remy's anger erupted like a volcano
