Chapter 1048:

Marissa, however, offered no commentary, responding instead with a serene smile. Yet her subtle glance toward

Everett said more than words ever could.

Everett, catching her look, pressed his lips into a tight line. His expression darkened, and his displeasure was as

plain as day.

Chloe's performance might have fooled most, but Marissa and Everett weren't so easily duped. They'd already

pieced together the truth—Korbin and Betty weren't here by chance. Everett was certain Chloe had pulled the

strings.

Normally, Marissa wouldn't have hesitated to call Chloe out for her theatrics. But today, for Everett's sake, she

chose to hold her tongue, tolerating Chloe’s antics with a patience that didn’t ceasily.

Meanwhile, Korbin and Betty, shaken by Chloe's verbal lashing, dared not reveal her involvement.

“Miss Nash, please have mercy!” Betty pleaded, clutching at the hem of Marissa’s dress like a drowning woman

reaching for a lifeline. “You remind us so much of our daughter, Marissa. It was an honest mistake. Please forgive

us!”

Korbin quickly chimed in, his voice cracking with earnestness, “Yes, it's all a misunderstanding. We were only

looking out for your family’s reputation. We meant no harm.”

Marissa’s gaze turned icy, her calm exterior laced with disdain. Her tone was razor-sharp as she replied, “If

of society. No matter if you were instructed by someone or genuinely mistookfor your daughter, you must

Betty's head shot up, her face pale and trembling with fear. “Miss Nash, w-what do you intend to do?” she

stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.

Marissa’s lips curved into a calm but chilling smile. “Naturally, I'll involve the authorities. Once the police

investigate why you chere to stir up trouble, they'll determine your accountability.”

Korbin and Betty visibly flinched, panic flashing across their faces. The thought of being handed over to the

police and the potential unraveling of their secrets sent them into a frenzy of fear. Jail was a possibility they

couldn't afford to face.

“No, please!” Betty cried, her voice breaking as she clung desperately to Marissa’s arm. “Miss Nash, | beg you,

don’t call the police! I've feared them since | was a child. | can’t — | won't survive that! Please, have mercy!”

Korbin, abandoning his earlier bravado, joined her in pleading. The arrogant confidence they had flaunted upon

their arrival had crumbled into a pathetic display of desperation, their voices quivering as they groveled.

Marissa initially intended to let the law settle matters, believing it to be the fairest way to resolve the trouble this

family had caused. However, as her sharp intuition pieced together Chloe's subtle involvement, she hesitated.
