Chapter 19 Chapter 19: In the cozy, small meeting room, there was a coffee table and two sofas where Connor and Marissa sat facing each other. As the discussion began, Connor got straight to the point. "Miss Nash, would you be interested in acting as a dutiful granddaughter-in-law for a while now?" he asked "Mr. Daniels, haven't you found your runaway fiancée yet? Look at you, wealthy and handsome. Surely there's a line of women after you. Why did your fiancée run away? Was she frightened off by your family's outrageous actions? You forcedinto marrying you, and your nephew broke his promise as soon as he becwealthy. It seems your family is full of evildoers!" Marissa didn't respond immediately but chuckled instead. The online harassment was still ongoing. Marissa did need to approach Derek to resolve this issue, but acting as a dutiful granddaughter-in-law was not necessary for her plan. She had other means to reach Derek. Connor was in no position to make her comply Despite Marissa's sarcastic remarks, Connor stayed calm, a mischievous glint in his eyes. Marissa had boldly demanded to share his earnings and had even dared to sneak into the Palace Hotel to confront Derek. Now, here she was, scolding him. Was she truly just a naive village girl with no education? After a brief pause, Connor took out a photo and placed it on the coffee table. "I think you might find this interesting." Marissa looked down at the photo and was taken aback. The person in the photo wasn't her, but the resemblance was uncanny. "Is this Tiffany Nash?" More updates uploaded to galnovals"Yes." Marissa was astounded. No wonder people confused her with Tiffany. It was hard to tell them apart just by their appearances. Marissa picked up the photo and examined it closely. Eventually, she confirmed that Tiffany's appearance was genuine and natural, with no signs of cosmetic surgery. In other words, they had been identical from birth. How could two unrelated individuals look so alike? Noting her astonished look, Connor said, "I assyou're interested in my initial proposal now." Marissa didn't reply, but Connor was correct. She was indeed keen to delve into the connection between herself and Tiffany. "Alright, I'll agree under the condition you previously mentioned." Connor had previously mentioned that during the tMarissa acted as his wife, any earnings would be shared as their community property. But today, Connor did not confirm this agreement. “Miss Nash, you certainly have a great sense of humor." He smiled playfully, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "That day, I needed your help and had to offer sincentives. But now, our relationship is more of a partnership. Our circumstances have changed, and so have the terms. You'll help soothe my grandmother, and I'll let you approach the Nash family as my wife. We'll use each other to fulfill our needs. I owe you nothing. The earnings you make are yours alone, and my finances remain separate from yours. Moreover, I won't be covering your living expenses. You'll need to manage your own costs." Hearing this, Marissa gave a knowing smile. Connor was truly a businessman through and through, merciless in his dealings! She clenched her teeth and said, "Fine!" "Miss Nash, your directness is refreshing. I appreciate it," Connor said with another smile, then continued, "Now, Miss Nash, please settle today's expenses for food and accommodation. To facilitate our agreement, I'll give you a discount, and it will only be ten thousand a day." He then pulled out his phone, indicating for her to send the payment. Marissa stared at him coldly and made the transfer, labeling his contact in her phone as “Schemer." Finally getting her phone number through the transfer, Connor added her on WhatsApp. Her profile picture was a sycamore tree with thick branches and leaves, and her screen nwas "M." After seeing this, he labeled her contact as "Little Liar." Just then, Marissa received a message from her assistant, Ferris. "Riss, I declined Connor's offer that day, saying you were too busy. But his assistant just contactedagain to say that if you agree to treat his brother, you can set any terms you like." Casting a glare at Connor, Marissa responded to Ferris, "Tell him..." Moments later, Domenic burst into the meeting room. "Mr. Daniels, Doctor Riss has responded." Connor was surprised by the quick reply. "What did Doctor Riss say?"
