Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 277:

Seeing that no one in the Sanchez family showed him any respect, Sheppard grew furious. When Marissa mentioned she wanted him to relay a message to Remy, he scoffed and said, “Who do you think you are, sending a message to Mr. Sugden?”

Marissa simply smiled and replied, “If you don’t want to, that’s fine. I’ll just talk to Remy myself at the masterpiece appreciation event. You may go now.”
