NovelEnglishChapter 73: Before Marissa could say a word, the Nash family members erupted in excitement "Ayla really is in touch with Dr. Riss! She replied to Dr. Frazier immediately, promising to check Ayla's email. It shows how important Ayla is to her," one member exclaimed "Didn't Ayla tell us that Dr. Riss promised to take her as a disciple? That's why she values Ayla so highly," another said. "Sof you even suspected Ayla was lying to us again. There's no need for doubt now. Let's wait for Ayla to lead our family to prosperity!" a third declared The Nash family members continued to sing Ayla's praises. Seeing this, Sansa felt even more satisfied with herself. She turned to Marissa and said, "Tiffany, you were just asking about Ayla's contributions. Now you have your answer." Marissa smoothed her hair and replied with a smile, “Dr. Riss hasn't officially announced she'll take Ayla as her disciple yet. If she doesn't choose Ayla, won't that be embarrassing for you?" Sansa responded with a sneer, "Tiffany, are you jealous of Ayla? It's practically a done deal. Why are you still expressing doubts?" New chapters now on The other Nash family members showed their displeasure and rebuked Marissa. "Tiffany, since you haven't contributed to our family, how can you question Ayla, who has? Your attitude is seriously wrong!" "It's bad enough that you don't bring honor to our family, but now you seem to be acting against us. You're well aware we're at odds with the Sanchez family, yet you've been close to them. Are you attempting to betray us?" Facing Gerry Nash's accusations of betrayal, Marissa retorted sharply, "Uncle Gerry, if you're suggesting I shouldn't care for my biological mother, should you also teach your children to neglect you when you're ill?" Gerry was taken aback and momentarily lost for words. Then he managed to say, "But you didn't care for her when you were younger, did you?" Marissa replied firmly, "As a child, I was misled and made poor choices. Now that I'm older, I've learned from those mistakes. What's wrong with being kind to my mother now?" Gerry didn't know what to say. Balthasar cut in, "Tiffany, I asked you to visit your mother for the last tso you could sever ties with the Sanchez family for good, not to forge new bonds. You must remember how your father disappeared!" Marissa, visibly upset, countered, "What does my father's disappearance have to do with my mother and the Sanchez family?" "If your mother hadn't insisted on working at Blo Grein, your father wouldn't have followed her there, and none of this would have happened," Balthasar said "Grandpa, despite your age, you still struggle to show decency. It's truly disgraceful," Marissa said, her voice tinged with disappointment. Balthasar was too infuriated to find words. Once a shy and reticent girl, his granddaughter had transformed into someone bold and articulate. This shift puzzled and angered him Gerry, previously silenced by Marissa's sharp retorts, found his moment to lash out. He scolded her with a tone dripping with condescension, "How dare you speak to your grandfather in such a manner, Tiffany? Have you no respect?" Marissa replied with a dismissive sneer, "Respect is earned by those who are reasonable. Perhaps you should use your energy to teach your children better." Stunned, Gerry was left speechless once again. Witnessing Marissa's defiance, the other family members joined in the reproach "Let's make one thing clear, Tiffany," one of them said sternly. "If Dr. Riss chooses Ayla as her disciple, Ayla will assleadership of the family. You will be expected to follow her lead."
"If you cannot accept the family's decisions and governance, then1you no longer belong with us."
Marissa smiled subtly and said, "Very well. From this moment, considerno longer a part of the Nash family. Whoever is in charge of the family records, please remove my name. Thank you."
With that declaration, she turned and walked towards the medical o m conference "Wait a minute, Tiffany!" a voice called out from behind her
