Shannon was taken aback by Alyssa’s response and hesitated for a moment before snapping, “What do you think you’re doing? How do you even have the nerve to throw a fit? Do you have any idea what you put Hailey through today? Get back here right now and apologize to her!”
Alyssa chuckled, “Apologize to her? What exactly did I do wrong that I need to apologize for?”
“You really have the nerve to ask what you did wrong. You set Hailey up today, exposing her to everyone, and now you’re asking why you should apologize? How did I end up with such a malicious daughter? Your jealousy is out of control,” Shannon said coldly.
Alyssa laughed and said, “What do I have to be jealous of? Her ugly face, or her lack of talent?”
“Watch your mouth!” Shannon snapped.
“I’m just telling it like it is. And as for what happened today, you should ask around and find out the real story. Was it me who hurt her, or was it her trying to hurt me? She’s just getting what she deserves. Anyway, I’m done here,” Alyssa said coldly, ready to hang up.
Shannon quickly called out, “Wait a minute.”
Alyssa didn’t hang up but remained silent, waiting to see what else Shannon had to say.
Shannon finally said, “Sean saw Hailey naked today. You should let Sean be together with Hailey.”

neered, “If she has the ability, let her get Sean to marry her herself.”
Sha. on sneered, “Do you really think Hailey can’t get him to marry her? If it wasn’t for the 20% stake in Rivorn Clothing you’re holding, Sean would have been with Hailey long ago. If you transfer those shares to Hailey, Sean will definitely marry
her.”
“Why should I give her what’s mine? What is she, a robber?” Alyssa scoffed. “Like I said, if she has the ability, let her get Sean to marry her herself.”
At that moment, Hailey’s faint voice came through the phone. “Shannon, don’t pressure Alyssa. She loves Sean so much. How could I possibly take someone she cares about? I… I won’t marry Sean.”
“Hailey, you’re so kind. But everyone has seen you naked. They all think you were trying to seduce Sean. If you don’t marry him, what will others judge you?” Shannon said, her voice full of concern.
“It’s fine. I…” Hailey continued, her voice dripping with fake innocence.
Alyssa had had enough of their conversation and hung up the phone.
After putting her phone away, Alyssa turned around to find Andrew standing behind her, looking sullen.
Alyssa instinctively asked, “Are you alright?”
Andrew’s face darkened even more. Without answering, he walked over to the water dispenser, poured himself a glass of water, and gulped it down.
Alyssa walked over and asked, “Which room am I staying in?”
Andrew pointed to the two rooms on the left and said, “This one is my bedroom, and that one is my study. Besides these two, you can pick any of the other rooms.”
Alyssa blinked and said, “Mr. Coleman, do you always talk this much? You could’ve just said I can pick any room except these

two. No need for all the extra details.”

Andrew shot her a cold look and said, “I was letting you know which one is my bedroom, so you don’t wander in there by mistake. And don’t even think about trying to take advantage of me.”
With that, he put down his glass and headed towards his bedroom.
Alyssa stood behind him, her lips twitching as she thought, ‘Take advantage of him? I should be glad he isn’t trying to take advantage of me. What did a big guy have to worry about in that regard? It’s ridiculous.
Alyssa grabbed her suitcase and headed towards one of the rooms on the right.
