NovelUSAChapter 443: "Auntie, it waswho asked Xander to take Tiffany to the Crystal Hotel," Connor said.
Allyson looked perplexed.
Connor continued, "Yesterday, I had a meeting with Buat the Crystal Hotel, and Tiffany needed to be there with me. However, I was tied up with something else at the time. Xander happened to go there as well, so I asked him to take her." "Why did they end up shopping then?" Allyson inquired.
Connor grinned. "Xander's driving is so bad, he ended up in a ditch. He was a complete mess, so they stopped at the mall to buy snew clothes." Allyson found this explanation reasonable.

Then, looking at Marissa, she said, "Tiffany, Connor said he likes you and doesn't want a divorce. Although I'm his aunt, it's not my place to meddle. But you must behave and abide by the rules, as his wife." Marissa raised her eyebrows, indicating her reluctance. The life of a wealthy lady was foreign to her; she cherished her freedom too much.
Allyson pressed on. "You used to have a bad reputation and have done a lot of outrageous things, but I'll overlook that. I'll find someone to teach you proper etiquette. You need to learn hard. You can't afford to embarrass Connor.
The most important thing is to avoid other men and gossip. As Connor's wife, your duty is to protect his reputation. Do you understand?" The corners of Marissa's mouth twitched. She was not accustomed to being lectured and taught in this manner, and she certainly wasn't eager to start learning the rules of high society. Yet, she couldn't openly disagree with Allyson.
Allyson, noticing Marissa's silence, grew irritated. “Did you hear me, Tiffany?" "Fine," Marissa responded curtly.
Allyson was clearly not pleased with such a tepid reaction but restrained her frustration. She sighed deeply. Finally, she stood up, resigned. "Arabella, I'm heading back now. Take care." Arabella, who had been visibly tense during Allyson's visit, brightened immediately. “Okay, take care, Allyson." "Auntie, I'll walk you out," offered Connor.
Marissa, out of politeness, also got up to accompany them.
Allyson shot Marissa a cold glance. "Connor, just you. I have more to discuss with you." Marissa, relieved, echoed Arabella's parting words with a smile. "Mrs. Brit, take care." The more Allyson looked at Marissa, the more dissatisfaction she felt.
Connor walked out of the door with her. Both Marissa and Arabella exhaled in relief.
Arabella grimaced, her voice tinged with frustration. "Allyson always makesfeel so down. If it wasn't for her looking after Connor when he was younger, I would've definitely had it out with her by now." Marissa smiled reassuringly at Arabella. "Now that she's gone, let's not talk about her behind her back." Arabella snorted. "She keeps bringing up Connor's mother. It's-"

You must be exhausted. Let's get you to bed." Arabella did look worn out. She yawned as she ascended the stairs with Marissa's support.
As they walked, she told Marissa, "Don't mind what Allyson said. You don't need to change.
Hove your free-spirited nature. Just stay as you are." "Thank you," Marissa replied, her smile warm and genuine.
Meanwhile, outside the building, Connor was seeing Allyson to her car.
Allyson paused, her expression serious. "Connor, there's something important I need to tell you about your parents. You need to listen carefully. It's very important!"
