Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 382: One-Dollar Compensation

Xander’s careless words at the Nash family’s house had led to a serious misunderstanding. Zayn and his mother thought he intended to propose to Marissa as well.

After Divya left, she spread the news like wildfire. Soon, everyone in their social circle believed that Xander was smitten with Tiffany and planned to marry her.
