Robin, however, remained calm. With a faint smile, he reassured her, “No need. Marrisa can handle this herself.”

Eugene felt his face grow hot with embarrassment. He never imagined that Marrisa, a woman he had dismissed as unimportant, would turn out to be a foreigner–one with ties to the elite Rogarios, no less. If they detained her, it would spell big trouble.

A glance at Marrisa’s details confirmed everything.

Trying to smooth things over, he added, “I enjoy cracking jokes. Locking up an esteemed international guest like you? That would be absurd. Please, have a seat.”

Marrisa snatched back her identification, eyes flashing with anger. “I wasn’t joking!”

She turned to Joanna, gently squeezing her hand. “Renee, I feel sorry for you. We’re not letting them get away with it today–not without proof!”

Joanna sighed. “Marrisa, this is a lot of trouble for you.”

Marrisa waved her off with a light laugh. “Trouble? Don’t be silly–we’re family. Robin put me in this mess, but if someone is trying to frame you, we can’t just sit back and do nothing!

“Whoever is behind these accusations is up to no good, and I won’t stop until I expose them! No one is going to tarnish your name with their dirty schemes!”
