NovelUSAChapter 439: Since Franco was impervious to Marissa's persuasions, she had no choice but to caution Rita against leading him on. The thought of Franco getting hurt because of Rita weighed heavily on her conscience.
Marissa had always ensured Rita looked impeccable, primarily for her own pleasure since Rita served as her personal maid. However, Marissa hadn't anticipated that Rita's striking beauty and flawless physique would capture Franco's attention.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarissa instructed firmly, “Rita, if Franco tells you he likes you, don't just thank him. Make it clear you don't feel the same. And if he asks how you feel about him, tell him he means nothing special to you. Got it?" Rita responded promptly, "Understood, boss!" With that settled, Marissa stored her phone in her purse and proceeded to the main building by herself. She was there to meet Allyson Brit, Connor's aunt. Despite the facade of her marriage to Connor, she needed to maintain decorum to uphold Tiffany's esteemed reputation.
ŁATést Çh Aptëяş ín GalпovεlŞInside the living room, Arabella occupied the central spot on a sofa, with Lawrence and Lindsay nestled close to her, showing their best behavior. On another sofa, Connor was deep in conversation with Allyson. Allyson gazed at Connor with eyes full of affection.
Everyone knew she had a soft spot for him, treating him as if he were her own child.
As she conversed with Connor, Allyson occasionally glanced at the two children playing nearby. With each look, her brow furrowed deeper, and she let out a worried sigh. Marissa, observing from the doorway, noted Allyson's troubled expression but kept her own face impassive. She entered the living room silently and greeted Allyson with formality.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Brit." Allyson's gaze snapped up to Marissa. After a brief look, her expression soured even further. It was clear she harbored no fondness for Tiffany.
Allyson seemed to wrestle with her thoughts, starting to speak several times but holding back, mindful of the children's presence. Sensing her discomfort, Connor quickly intervened. "Cade, why don't you take Lawrence and Lindsay upstairs to rest?" Without hesitation, Cade escorted the children upstairs.

Marissa moved towards a single chair, but Connor gently grasped her hand, guiding her to sit next to him instead. This only deepened Allyson's frown. She clearly disapproved of their closeness.
"Connor," she began, her tone laced with disapproval. "I've seen what they're saying online. You've been pretending to be married to make Arabella happy, but now that everyone knows the truth, there's no need to keep up the charade." Allyson gestured towards the single chair, urging, "Tiffany, take the seat over there." As Marissa began to rise, Connor grasped her hand, gently urging her to remain seated. Allyson, suspecting Connor's hesitation stemmed from a fear of upsetting Arabella, addressed her directly. "Arabella, you're like family to me. I'll be frank. Connor needs to divorce Tiffany as soon as possible."
Arabella, who had just been enjoying a lively conversation with the two children, frowned upon hearing M Allyson's blunt suggestion "Allyson, why on earth would you want them to divorce? They're so in love," she protested, visibly confused and upset.
With a heavy sigh, Allyson responded with gravity, "Arauave you not seen the stories online? Their marriage is a charade, a show put on to keep you happy.
Connor is your grandson, true, but you shouldn't pressure him to stay married out of duty. Think about his e happiness. If it were a suitable match with a woman from a distinguished family, perhaps, but Tiffany? She's beca joke around town. How can we stand by and watch Connor live in disgrace? And what of my sister? How can she rest in peace knowing the troubles Connor faces because of this farce?"
