Chapter 321: Marissa's gaze remained fixed on the red dot. As it ascended to the second floor, it proceeded directly into the bedroom. After lingering there for a while, a sudden loud noise emitted from her phone, followed by a weighty thud, like that of something descending from the second floor to the ground below.

Did she just leap from the window on the second floor? Why didn't she use the door? What made her choose to jump out the window instead? Confusion enveloped her as she pondered her uncharacteristic actions and the peculiar noises accompanying them. What compelled her to visit Connor's residence and engage in such odd behavior? And why did the whole building appear deserted? Despite her running around and creating a commotion, why did no one cto intervene or stop her? Bewilderment deepened as the red dot shifted once more, halting at Connor's habitual parking spot, followed by another resonant noise from her phone. Then, a sequence of tinkling sounds ensued, culminating in silence. The red dot retraced its path back to the building.
Finally, human voices reached Marissa's ears, breaking the silence. She heard Connor say, "I'm right here." After a rustling sound, she heard herself say in a flirtatious tone, “Let's go to sleep!"

Marissa's eyes widened in shock when she heard that. Had she really gone to Connor's house to sleep with him? Oh, God! What had she done while sleepwalking? She shouldn't have done that. It wasn't her style at all.
Then she heard herself say in a soft, flirtatious voice, “Let's go to sleep!" Marissa's face instantly turned red. Did she really speak so sweetly and flirtatiously? What the hell! Why did she act that way toward Connor? Connor then said, "Miss Nash, look at the mess you've made of my house just to coaxinto sleeping with you. Isn't this a bit excessive?" Her eyes widened even more. What did Connor mean? She went to sleep with him while sleepwalking, but he was angry with her and refused to sleep with her, so she destroyed his house in response? No, that couldn't be true! She couldn't be that mean. At that moment, Connor's voice cthrough the phone again. "I won't yield to your violence tonight." Suddenly, she felt a wave of humiliation. He had refused her so bluntly. She seemed to have infuriated him. In the past, he had always been eager to sleep with her. If she were awake and faced such rejection, she would leave immediately. But to her surprise, she becfurious while sleepwalking and demanded loudly, "Let's go to sleep!" Then he asked, "Are you going to hitagain?" Marissa's eyes widened once more. What did he mean by saying she would hit him again? Had she beaten him previously when he refused to sleep with her? Now she understood why no one had intervened despite the commotion. They were afraid of being beaten by her. Oh, God! What was wrong with her? Just as Marissa berated herself, she heard her own voice on the phone coaxing Connor, "As long as you sleep with me, I won't lay a hand on you." Her words confirmed she had indeed beaten him before.

"Oh shit." Marissa covered her face with her hands and lay down on the floor, mortified. She had no dignity left. Even if she had tried to rob conhor's property, she wouldn't feel this ashamed. She felt utterly embarrassed for begging Connor to sleep with her. How could she ever look herself in the mirror again?
Seeing her distress, Rita asked expressionlessly, "Boss, do you needto handle someone for you?" Marissa, suddenly impulsive, replied, "Yes! Go and kill Connor Daniels to keep his mouth shut!"
