Chapter 356: After hearing Landen's words, Marissa let out a cold laugh and asked, "Are you trying to fabricate something about Tiffany to coerceinto returning to the Nash family today?" Landen shrugged, smiling. "How could I dare to coerce you, boss? It's true I want you back with the Nash family, and it's true I have something about Tiffany to tell you as well." Worried Marissa wouldn't believe him, he added earnestly, "I really do have something about Tiffany to tell you. I've unearthed sold documents from back then." "What documents?" Marissa inquired.

Marissa paused to think, then agreed. "Alright, I'll return to the Nash family's house today." Keep reading at galAs she spoke, she began to walk toward the bustling crowd embroiled in an argument.
Balthasar, tapping his crutch, declared, "Tiffany grew up with our Nash family, and we nurtured her abilities. It's only natural she should return with us!" Leila, hands on hips, countered loudly, "How can you claim Tiffany grew up with the Nash family? Your family tore her away from my aunt and treated her like an asset. She endured bullying from Sansa and Ayla under your care, and your family labeled her a failure.
You never cultivated her talents. She didn't even finish high school. Everything she learned, she taught herself. It has nothing to do with the Nash family!" Her statement left the Nash family members embarrassed, all of them avoiding eye contact. Tiffany's achievements, indeed, were not a credit to the Nash family. They were unaware of when she becRitchie's disciple or found tto master painting.
Seeing the Nash family chastened, Leila lifted her chin triumphantly and announced, "Since returning to the Sanchez family, Tiffany has been much happier. She prefers to stay with us. You Nash family members should stop your ingratiating attempts to reclaim her!" Marissa, feeling somewhat awkward, cleared her throat and addressed Leila. “Leila, I'm heading back to the Nash family's house today." "What?" Leila's face fell in disappointment.

Feeling wronged, Leila asked, "Tiffany, I just won the argument, and now you're dousing my fire?" With a chuckle, Marissa patted Leila's head. "What's there to argue about? My dad is from the Nash family, and my mom is from the Sanchez family. I'm part of both. I'll visit both homes." Daryl and Rachel quickly composed themselves upon hearing this. They were not fond of quarreling and considered the dispute over whether Tiffany belonged more to the Nash or Sanchez family to be trivial and pointless. They believed that an adult's loyalty should be a personal choice, unaffected by family squabbles. Their participation in the argument had been sparked by their desire to protect Marissa, but Marissa's words brought them back to their senses.
Rachel spoke first with understanding. "Tiffany, you're free to go wherever you feel you belong. The Sanchez family will always welcyou. Your room in the house will always be ready for you." Daryl added his support, "Absolutely, you will always have a place with the Sanchez family."
Left with no choice, Leila reluctantly accepted the situation, then asked with a hint of sadness, "So, Tiffany, are you taking Lawrence and Lindsay with you?"
Marissa frowned at the mention of Lawrence and Lindsay. These two m sleep aids cwith a serious side effect. Without them, she risked insomnia; with them, she risked sleepwalking.
As she pondered her dilemma, a commotion stirred at the building's entrance Connor emerged from the elevator. Seeing him, Marissa froze in surprise. Why did Connor have to show up right now?!
