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.

Connor, unable to keep his composure, rushed to the Nash family’s house, making an excuse to take Marissa home. Otherwise, he would have enjoyed playing games with her for a few more days.

He doubted Marissa would fall for Xander, the foolish yet wealthy man. Nevertheless, the thought of Marissa being pestered by so many suitors, especially someone like Xander, made Connor’s blood boil.

He despised any man who tried to steal Marissa from him, regardless of their chances of success.

Marissa didn’t deny it since she and Xander had agreed to pretend they were dating. She merely grinned in response.
