NovelsFreeChapter 265: "Marissa, stop right there!" a familiar voice called from behind, causing Marissa to halt instantly. Before she could turn, Korbin, Betty, and Denise had already positioned themselves in front of her, blocking her way. Their angry expressions made Marissa furrow her brow in confusion. “What? I gave you twenty thousand last time. Have you already spent it all?" Betty pointed at Marissa accusingly, her voice sharp. “Marissa, you're so ungrateful! Now that you've beca wealthy lady, you've apparently forgotten about your own family—your parents and your sister. You parade around, living in opulence every day, yet all you offer us is a modest rental apartment and a mere forty thousand monthly for sustenance. Do you consider us hobos?" Korbin interjected, his voice laced with resentment, “You indulge in luxuries while neglecting the welfare of your own kin. If I had known you'd turn out so heartless, I would have cast you into the river without a second thought when you were little!" Denise's gaze bore into Marissa, brimming with animosity. "Marissa, compared to prostituting in a nightclub, posing as a wealthy lady is a walk in the park, isn't it? Given your apparent ease in amassing wealth, why subject us to such a frugal life?" gvlnovlsco, a world of tales Though surprised, Marissa stayed composed. "I don't understand what you're talking about." "Enough with the facade! Don't feign innocence," Betty scoffed. "In fact, we've been monitoring you closely. Today, we possess ample evidence to confront you. There's no denying it." Knowing it was futile to deny, Marissa dropped the facade and asked, "Who told you this?" "Derek, of course!" Denise proclaimed with a hint of pride. "Did you think Derek wouldn't reach out to us in private? Even though he's a member of a wealthy family now, he's gotten close to us! Are you envious?" It didn't take Marissa long to piece together the situation. Denise's boasting didn't faze her. Derek likely wanted to exploit Marissa's ties to the Nash family in Adagend to force her out of the affluent circles of Blebert, thus preserving his status as an heir of a wealthy family and potentially compelling her to bechis mistress However, Derek likely refrained from revealing her relationship with Connor to the Nash family in Adagend. Despite his family's collusion with Aelfric to kill Connor, Derek was wary of Connor and likely didn't dare to mention him After pondering the situation, Marissa smiled and asked, "What do you want?" "Money, obviously!" Betty demanded. "You're living the high life now. You can't just abandon us. We want a taste of that wealth too!" Korbin chimed in, “Absolutely. If you don't pony up a satisfactory sum today, we'll spill the beans to the Nash family in Blebert about your true background. You won't be able to keep up the charade of being Tiffany anymore!" Marissa took a deep breath. "Will you stay silent if I give you enough money?" "Of course!" Denise spoke on behalf of her parents. “Revealing your secret wouldn't benefit us. We want you to continue raking in cash as Tiffany so we can continue benefiting from you."
"Understood," Marissa nodded. "How much do you want? The content is of novelenglish.net!
Betty, aiming high, promptly held up om five fingers. "Five hundred thousand!"
While five hundred thousand wouldn't break the bank for Marissa, she didn't want to reveal her full financial capacity to them. Feigning a troubled expression, she replied, "Five hundred thousand is quite a sum. You must be aware of my situation within the Nash family in Blebert. I have been marginalized and only receive around ten thousand monthly. How can I possibly give you five hundred thousand?"
