Chapter 289:

As Marissa ascended to the second floor, Domenic, Marc, and Terry grew increasingly nervous. In their roles as Connor’s special assistant and bodyguards, they had let a woman slip by.

Marissa, however, disregarded their attempts, pushed them away, and continued on her way. She stopped at her old bedroom, opened the door, and stepped inside. Domenic, Marc, and Terry stared in astonishment. As the door shut behind her, they blinked, bewildered yet relieved. They guessed that Connor might be hiding in his study, while Marissa had locked herself in the bedroom. It seemed the two would not meet each other for now.
