NovelEnglishChapter 329: Marissa's abrupt move took everyone off guard, and they stared at her in disbelief. The members of the Sanchez family were equally taken aback.
Aelfric, with a meaningful lift of his eyebrows, noted that Tiffany clearly had snerve, as no one had previously dared to cause a stir in Remy's territory. Derek watched with a slight frown, thinking that Marissa, this village girl, was growing too bold.

This was Remy's territory! Even Aelfric, the deputy chief instructor of the Doomsday Base, wouldn't dare show disrespect here, yet here was Marissa, recklessly causing trouble on behalf of the Sanchez family! Dunbar observed Marissa with a smirk and said, "Miss Nash, how can you attack someone on Mr. Sugden's turf? Don't you have any respect for him?" Step into new worlds with galnovsThe moment Dunbar spoke, a shiver ran through the crowd, chilled by the threatening tone of his words. Unfazed, Marissa responded with a laugh, "I'm sorry, but I don't." "Oh my God! Has she lost her mind?" "How can she speak to Dunbar like that? Has she gone mad, or does she have a death wish?" "Does she still think she's Mrs. Daniels? Everyone knows her marriage to Connor is a fake, and there's no one with more power than Mr. Sugden to protect her!" "That fool is always stirring up trouble. It's no surprise she's pulled a stunt like this again. Let's just wait and see how Mr. Sugden's people deal with her." As the murmurs continued, Dunbar's expression grew more menacing by the second, his gaze sharp enough to almost slice through Marissa. Marissa merely offered a slight smile, showing she held no regard not only for Remy but also for Dunbar, Remy's loyal follower.

He had been subjected to a relentless series of beatings recently. Just as he began to recover from one set of injuries, new ones were inflicted on his still fragile body, leaving him filled with deep resentment.
Dunbar sneered again and said, "Since Miss Nash shows such disrespect to Mr. Sugden, I see no reason to wait for his masterpiece appreciation event to begin. I take the liberty of addressing this issue on his behalf right now." With that, Dunbar signaled, and his men quickly formed a circle around Marissa, their faces threatening. The crowd around them grew anxious and stepped back, not wanting to be too close.

As Dunbar's men moved towards her, Marissa looked at the painting box she held and yelled, "If anyone touches me, I'll destroy this painting right here!" The henchmen halted immediately. Dunbar's expression turned grim. They all knew the painting Marissa held was too valuable to be damaged. Remy had been eager to acquire the painting "Birds Pay Homage” because his elderly father was a devoted fan of the artist and had been looking forward to receiving this painting for his birthday.
If they provoked Marissa to damage the painting, they would have no way to justify their actions to Remy and would likely face severe consequences. With this in mind, Dunbar managed to suppress the hostility on his face and forced a strained smile, “Miss Nash, please, calm down.
Let's not lash out at such a valuable painting."
