?Chapter 82:


    ncing at Marissa and Landen standing together, and then at A, who was in a sorry state from being beaten, Sansa suddenly lunged at Marissa. For years, Sansa had invested considerable effort in ensuring A’s sess and Tiffany’s downfall. Yet now, Tiffany had be the wife of the wealthiest man, while her daughter had fallen into disrepute. Sansa found this reversal unbearable. Determined that Tiffany should not thrive if A couldn’t, Sansa was intent on ruining Tiffany’s life at any cost


    With such malicious intent, Sansa charged at Marissa like a hungry wolf. Those around Marissa stepped back, fearing they might get caught in the fight. Marissa stood her ground, watching Sansa approach with a slight smile. If she were to kick and break Sansa’s ribs, it would be considered legal self-defense, right?


    As Marissa pondered this and subtly positioned her feet for a kick, Sansa was suddenly sent flying. Marissa turned to see Connor had appeared beside her and had kicked Sansa away


    “Ah!” Sansa’s scream echoed as she was propelled ten feet and crashed to the floor. The crowd was stunned, not by Sansa being kicked, but by Connor’s sudden intervention

    Standing tall at 6.2 feet, Connor exuded amanding presence. His mere presence seemed to silence the hall with its implicit authority. The exhibition hall went quiet


    Arabe, tugging at Connor’s sleeve, gave him a thumbs-up and whispered, “Well done, Connor. You have to keep protecting your wife like this!”


    Hard of hearing, she thought she was speaking softly, but her words were heard by all


    Connor replied with a smile, “Okay, Grandma.”


    The previously tense atmosphere lightened slightly. Many women nced at Marissa with envy; she had a wealthy husband and a family that openly supported her


    Meanwhile, Marissa, feeling a bit self-conscious, brushed her hair from her forehead. She hadn’t watched enough of Sansa and A’s humiliation yet. Why had she suddenly be the focal point?


    Landen leaned in and asked quietly, “Didn’t everyone say Connor disliked you? Why did hee to your defense like this today?”


    “After all, I am his wife. If I were attacked in public, it would reflect poorly on him,” Marissa replied nonchntly


    “You’re right.” Landen nodded


    At that moment, Balthasar snapped back to reality. He lifted his cane and tapped Sansa firmly on the head. “Go home now!” After that, he hurled the fake D Pill of MindEase Elixir at A. “You should leave this ce immediately. You’re an embarrassment!”


    Despite the pain from the impact, A was too eager to escape the scene to care. She quickly got up, her hair a mess, and started to make her exit


    “Wait!” Ferris called out abruptly


    A stopped, turning to face Ferris with a look of dread. She was uncertain of the further consequences she might face


    Ferris smiled and said, “Miss A Nash, this isn’t over yet. You can’t just leave.”


    “What else do you want from me?” A asked, her voice shaking


    “I don’t want anything, but you broke thew,” Ferris said loudly. “You’ve been spreading rumors iming Dr. Riss agreed to take you on as her apprentice. Additionally, you imed Dr. Riss sold the counterfeit pill to you at a discount. These actions have severely damaged Dr. Riss’s reputation. We suspect that you, Miss A Nash, have been involved in the creation and distribution of counterfeit drugs under Riss’s name, tarnishing her image. We’ve notified the police, and they’ll be arriving shortly. Please remain here for the investigation.”


    Just as Ferris finished speaking, a piercing scream erupted from the crowd. “Ah!”
