?Chapter 330:


    As Remy arrived, the Nash family, led by Balthasar, hurried into the banquet hall as well. To everyone’s surprise, Sansa and A were among them. Though these two had been ousted from the Nash family, they always shadowed any family drama, and today, they were here with the specific intent of witnessing Marissa’s downfall.


    Upon entering the banquet hall, Sansa jeered, “When I was the hostess of the family, I maintained an excellent rapport with Mr. Sugden. When you cast me aside in favor of this wretched woman, did you ever anticipate that she would offend Mr. Sugden?”


    A, equally resentful, chimed in, “I made but a minor mistake, and you cruelly expelled me from the family. Now Tiffany has created a colossal problem. Let’s see how you handle this!”


    The Nash family had been thriving recently, thanks to Landen bing Riss’ student and Marissa bing an outer disciple of Riss’ team. Business was booming, and the entire family was optimistic about a prosperous future.


    However, news that Marissa had recklessly offended Remy had thrown them into a state of panic, prompting their swift intervention. Though Marissa’s affront had been on behalf of the Sanchez family, there was no assurance that Remy’s ire wouldn’t spill over onto the Nash family. They had only just begun to glimpse the fruits of their burgeoning prosperity and could ill afford any upheaval.


    Despite disregarding Sansa’s and A’s taunts, the Nash family members arrived with the intention of dissuading Marissa. Only Landen attended purely for the spectacle, eager to see how his boss, ck Snake, would handle the local gangster, Remy.


    Balthasar hastily grasped Marissa’s sleeve before Remy could approach, urging her, “Tiffany, the ‘Birds Pay Homage’ is an issue for the Sanchez family. It has nothing to do with us. You cannot confront Mr. Sugden on their behalf. Come home with me!”


    Seeing Marissa unmoved, Balthasar scolded Daryl in a voice thick with anger, “Daryl, my granddaughter was nurtured under the care of the Nash family. What has the Sanchez family ever contributed? And now, you have the audacity to push her to stand up for your family. Don’t you feel a pang of shame?”


    The Sanchez and Nash families had always been at odds, rarely exchanging pleasantries when they met. Today, being chastised by Balthasar, Daryl felt a deep sense of shame. Since Tiffany had distanced herself from the Sanchez family since childhood, it was undeniable that the Sanchez family had done little for her.


    Now, she was in a perilous situation, risking everything for the sake of the Sanchez family, and Daryl’s heart was heavy with remorse.


    After Balthasar’s rebuke, Daryl sighed deeply and said to Marissa, “Tiffany, return with your grandfather. Leave the ‘Birds Pay Homage’ issue to me.”


    Rachel added earnestly, “Tiffany, heed your uncle’s advice. Go back with your grandpa.”


    At this tense moment, Remy stood watching from a distance. Sensing the imminent danger, Shaun and Le also began to urge Marissa. Le said, “Tiffany, go home. Remember, you have two little ones at home waiting for you. You can’t take such risks for the Sanchez family.”


    Shaun added, “Tiffany, negotiating with Remy is a task for the men of the Sanchez family, not for you, a young woman. Go home.”


    All eyes were fixed on Marissa, particrly the Nash family, as they awaited her decision with bated breath. However, Marissa did not answer right away. Instead, she raised her chin and cast a defiant gaze towards Remy in the distance.


    Growing increasingly desperate, Balthasar turned his attention directly to Remy, pleading, “Mr. Sugden, the fault is mine for failing to properly guide my granddaughter, resulting in her inadvertent offense. I shall take her home and ensure she learns her lesson. Please, don’t hold a grudge against a young girl.”


    As his words flowed, Balthasar gently sped Marissa’s hand, poised to depart. In that pivotal moment, Remy’s voice resonated through the hall
