Sheppard finally turned his attention to Marissa. With a dismissive snort, he said, “You’ve offended Remy, but because he sees you as just a naive girl, he’s prepared to offer you a way out.”

“Oh?” Marissa raised an eyebrow. “What kind of way out?”

Under Marissa’s intense stare, which seemed to pierce right through him, Sheppard looked away uncomfortably before continuing, “Even though it’s well-known that your marriage to Connor is a sham, you’re still his legal wife. Remy wants to maintain Connor’s dignity and will spare you the consequences. If we, the Sanchez family, hand over the ‘Birds Pay Homage’ painting and sever all ties with Tiffany, Remy will let this whole thing slide.”

As Sheppard finished his statement, Marissa scoffed. Remy was certainly cunning. First, he sent Dunbar to intimidate the Sanchez family, and now he was using Sheppard to persuade them to abandon Tiffany, using the excuse of her marriage to Connor. This way, Remy hoped to acquire the painting without spending a dime. Without ‘Birds Pay Homage,’ the Sanchez family’s business would crumble and likely fall into the hands of the Clifford family.
