NovelEnglishChapter 385: You Are So Useless Xander had always felt stifled by his family, with no one to complain to. So when he saw Marissa, he couldn't help but vent his frustrations. The more he talked, the angrier he got. Engulfed in his fury, he lost focus on driving. Abruptly, he slammed the steering wheel, causing the car to veer off the road and plunge into a ditch.
Marissa, reacting quickly, managed to bail out through the car window just as the car swerved toward the ditch. She landed on the road and staggered to regain her balance.

However, the car suffered extensive damage. The Bentley's emblem was missing, the front headlights shattered, and the engine hood was crumpled. The body of the car bore numerous scratches, and its windows were cracked.
The Bentley, worth millions of dollars, was now reduced to scrap in an instant.
New adventures await at gVinovl Xander was so frightened that he couldn't snap out of it. After the car plunged into the ditch, he went pale and dazed.
When the magnitude of what had happened finally hit him, he nearly broke down. The thought of his brother discovering the wreck of the newly purchased Bentley terrified him. He feared he'd face a severe beating.
Meanwhile, Marissa was squatting by the roadside, brushing off her hands. She peered through the open car window at Xander, her voice dripping with disappointment as she chastised him, "You are so useless. How can I expect anything good from you?" She turned around to survey the path they had just traveled, silently wishing she could banish Xander from the face of the Earth. "You couldn't even drive a few hundred yards without tumbling into the ditch. On a battlefield, you would have been a goner instantly." Xander's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. He rubbed his nose awkwardly and muttered, "I'm really sorry, chief instructor. I wasn't paying attention. The car's pretty much wrecked. I guess I can't make you feel special today. Just givea second, and I'll call for another ride." Marissa plucked a wildflower and playfully smacked it against his face. “When the new car arrives, I bet Clarissa and your brother will already be in a hotel room after lunch. So, should we just pop into your brother's room to meet her?" Xander chuckled, shaking his head. "No way. My brother can't stand Clarissa. They're going to split right after they eat. No hotel for them." Marissa stared at him incredulously. "And how does that help us meet Clarissa if they split?" Xander scratched his head, puzzled. "Uh...So, what do we do now, chief instructor?" "Just get out," Marissa snapped.

Marissa had no tto spare on him. She jumped into the ditch, yanked open the driver's side door, pulled Xander out, and slid into the driver's seat herself.
Xander appeared puzzled for a moment but quickly caught on. "Chief instructor, are you planning to drive it back onto the road?" He inspected the roadbed, which was almost ten feet higher than the ditch. With a frown, he expressed his doubt. "I don't think you can make it."
Ignoring him, Marissa revved the engine and drove the battered car out of the ditch with surprising ease. She expertly maneuvered the car back onto the road, her driving skills impressively on display.
Xander watched in amazement as Marissa steered the car the car onto then highway "Wow, chief instructor! You're incredible!" "Of course," Marissa replied coolly, not taking her eyes off the road. "Now sit tight and let's get moving."
They proceeded to drive the battered, unbranded car toward the city center. Eventually they parked in front of a building. Xander glanced at the building, perplexed. "Chief instructor, why did we chere?"
