Chapter 429: Marissa was aware that Arabella had a fondness for her, which made her open to the idea of helping raise the two children at the Daniels Manor, despite their lack of blood ties to the Daniels family.

Turning to Lawrence, Connor inquired, "And you, Lawrence? Why do you think I'm your father?" Lawrence's reply was pragmatic. "Because you're rich!"

They must have inherited those superficial and materialistic values from him! Connor, on the other hand, found the children's outlooks amusing. One was charmed by his looks, and the other by his wealth. Both children joyfully accepted him as their father. He affectionately patted their heads and suggested, "How about going hwith Dad?" "Okay!" Lawrence and Lindsay chimed together.
"Connor," Marissa began, trying to intervene instinctively. However, Connor moved swiftly, not allowing her to finish her sentence.

Marissa watched, feeling a mix of helplessness and disappointment, as the kids, who had been living with the Sanchez family for several days, departed without looking back.
Turning to Connor, she sought clarification, “What do you mean by this?" Connor shrugged. "I can't make Grandma unhappy."
