?Chapter 75:


    As soon as Marissa caught sight of Connor, she tensed up guiltily, unable to meet his piercing gaze. His expression was as grim as it had been in the hotel, his demeanor cold, sending chills down her spine. He seemed deeply upset about the previous night. What a narrow-minded guy! All she did was sleep beside him for one night, yet he looked as if she hadmitted a grave sin. Why was he so furious?


    As she inwardlyined about Connor, he suddenly mentioned, “Grandma wanted me to tell you she’s waiting for you in the lounge area.”


    “Okay… Understood,” Marissa quickly replied and left in a hurry to distance herself from him


    “Mr. Daniels, may I apany Ms. Nash there?” For the first time, Terry showed a keen interest in assisting Marissa. With Connor’s nod of approval, Terry immediately followed her


    Your adventure awaits at gα?ησν????s?c〇m


    Once they turned a corner and reached a less crowded area, Terry’s demeanor changed, and he looked at Marissa with disdain, saying, “You should stop trying to impress Mr. Daniels, you vige girl!”


    Marissa looked at him, puzzled. Terry mistook her surprise for disappointment and smirked with satisfaction


    “To be honest, Mr. Daniels spentst evening with Dr. Riss. They had a great time. With someone as remarkable as Riss around, how could Mr. Daniels ever like you? Give up on your fantasies!” He looked her up and down with disdain and added, “You may be pretty, but you’re not the right match for Mr. Daniels. A remarkable woman like Riss is the only one who deserves him. Got that?”


    After saying those words, Terry felt a surge of relief, pleased to have expressed his disdain for the vige girl. He eagerly awaited Marissa’s dejected reaction, but it never came. Marissa remained silent. After listening to his tirade, she merely gave him a slight smile, her eyes radiating more contempt than before. She even muttered under her breath, “Idiot!”


    Then she turned and walked away, not giving Terry a chance to respond. Terry was left speechless and flustered. As he watched Marissa’s retreating figure, his anger surged. Earlier in the day at the hotel, Riss had called him an “idiot.” Now, Marissa had echoed the sentiment. Was he really that stupid? He had been upset when Riss insulted him, dismissing her as mistaken. But now that Marissa had said the same thing, he began to question himself. Was he truly an idiot? The more he dwelled on it, the more dejected he felt. He hung his head and returned to where Connor was


    Marc noticed Terry’s dejected mood and asked with concern, “What’s the matter?”


    Terry, feeling wronged and his face flushing red, inquired, “Marc, do I really look like an idiot?”


    Marc was shocked


    Before Marc could respond, Connor said irritably, “You are indeed not smart!” Connor then shot Terry a disdainful nce and walked away. He had been in a sour mood already, and Terry’s self-doubt in his presence was thest straw. If he didn’t scold Terry, who else could he scold to alleviate his frustration?


    Connor’s harsh words were intended to vent his own frustrations. However, for Terry, they felt like a massive blow, shattering his self-esteem


    Marc tried to console Terry, saying, “Mr. Daniels isn’t himself today. Try not to take it personally.”


    But Terry was beyond constion. He broke down, saying, “Riss called me ‘idiot’ this morning; the vige girl did the same just now, and now Mr. Daniels says I’m not smart. I must really be stupid. Waah…”


    Who had ever seen a bodyguard cry? How could a bodyguard be seen crying? Marc and Domenic exchanged nces, at a loss for words on how tofort Terry


    Meanwhile, Landen, who had been overlooked by everyone, had a realization. He asked, “Why do you call Tiffany ‘vige girl’?”
