NovelEnglishChapter 277: Seeing that no one in the Sanchez family showed him any respect, Sheppard grew furious. When Marissa mentioned she wanted him to relay a message to Remy, he scoffed and said, "Who do you think you are, sending a message to Mr. Sugden?" Marissa simply smiled and replied, "If you don't want to, that's fine. I'll just talk to Remy myself at the masterpiece appreciation event. You may go now." But Sheppard wasn't ready to leave just yet. He hesitated, then turned to Ruth and said, "Letbe honest with you. Mr. Sugden's father is an avid fan of Only, the renowned painter. He's always wanted to own one of Only's works, but they're so rare that money alone isn't enough to secure one. Mr. Sugden heard that our family had acquired 'Birds Pay Homage.' With his father's sixtieth birthday approaching, he'd like to gift him the painting. As for the feud between the Sanchez and Clifford families, he prefers to remain neutral. Wouldn't it benefit us to appease Mr. Sugden and perhaps seek his help?" Ruth shot back immediately, "Without 'Birds Pay Homage,' how can we hold our own against the Clifford family? Does Remy not realize this? He's fully aware, yet he still wants us to hand over the painting. Clearly, he's hoping to watch the Sanchez family be taken over by the Clifford family!" "Are you not listening toat all?" Sheppard's expression grew stern. "Please, just leave," Ruth demanded bluntly, dismissing Sheppard Read all updates at gVlSheppard was seething with anger, his chest rising and falling rapidly. Yet, he couldn't bring himself to walk away just like that. He turned around to confront Marissa. "Didn't you wantto pass along a message to Mr. Sugden? Well, what is it?" he demanded Marissa looked down at the floor, her voice emotionless as she replied, "Please inform Remy that Connor will not meddle in my affairs. He should do his best to get what he wants. I'm eager to witness his capabilities!" With a furious gesture towards Marissa's face, Sheppard clenched his teeth and spat out, "You're out of your mind! Such arrogance!" No sooner had the words left his mouth than he stormed out, leaving the living room in silence. At last, the members of the Sanchez family found common ground.
Initially, they had been overwhelmed with fear about what to expect at the masterpiece appreciation event in three days. However, Sheppard's provocation had steeled their resolve. They were no longer intimidated. "Tiffany, whatever your plan for dealing with Remy is, I'm behind you all the way," Ruth declared with determination. Daryl added with conviction, "Tiffany, I've always been an upright man. Life has testedtand again, but this burden is too much. Even if it costsmy life, I must find the courage to face it." "Tiffany, we won't back down either!" Rachel chimed in. "The worst-case scenais that the Sanchez family ends up bankrupt and we return to tougher times. I can't believe Remy would go as far as to kill us all." Leila and Shaun gave Marissa encouraging looks, their eyes shining with a resolve to stand by her. Overwhelmed by their readiness to confront anything, Marissa tried to reassure them. "It's not as dire as you imagine. Things won't spiral into the worst. Just take it easy." She then turned and headed upstairs. "I'm off to bed. See you in the morning." Once upstairs, Marissa pushed the looming threat of Remy from her mind. Lawrence and Lindsay were already asleep. After a shower and changing into her night clothes, she climbed into bed next to the two children.
But she was not in a hurry to go to sleep. Pulling out her phone, she decided to investigate who had m leaked the news of her fake marriage with Connor. As the renowned hacker Bee, tracing an IP address was child's play for her. To her surprise, the culprit was Melinda.
Marissa scoffed, dismissing the thought of wasting her efforts on al nobody like Melinda. Her focus m shifted to the issue regarding Amiri. How Paul handled this situation would determine when she could finally make her identity, Black Snake, vanish for good. She sent a message to Silver Fox: "Any updates on Amiri?”
