Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 24 Chapter 24: Noticing Domenic's hesitation, Connor said coldly, "What is it?" Domenic trembled with fear. "Mr. Daniels, Dr. Riss has sent another message, saying..." Connor's expression darkened as he had a bad feeling. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did Dr. Riss say?" Domenic took a deep breath and finally stopped hesitating. "Dr. Riss said it's more urgent to treat your brain than your brother's legs!" "Bang!" Connor forcefully kicked the coffee table in front of him. Domenic, Marc, and Terry all flinched in shock. They pondered the audacity of Dr. Riss, who seemed to repeatedly provoke Connor. Did they have a death wish? The night eventually ended. The following morning, Marissa got up early to prepare for the day. Today, she was heading to the Nash family's residence to celebrate Balthasar Nash's birthday. Descending the stairs, she found Connor already seated at the dining table After the previous evening's events, there was an awkward tension between them. Connor appeared more embarrassed, while Marissa felt more anger than embarrassment. Connor's embarrassment stemmed not only from their kiss but also from having restrained his anger after being insulted by her, which made him feel timid I@te$t ¢#@pter$ In g@!$Once Marissa entered the dining room, the atmosphere turned tenser. Domenic, Marc, and Terry stood behind Connor, all sharing the discomfort. Only Cade seemed at ease, taking good care of Marissa by pulling out a chair for her and explaining what was for breakfast. After thanking Cade politely, Marissa began to eat. She had no plans to engage with Connor, maintaining the shaughtiness she had shown on her first visit The two ate in silence, making the dining room feel almost suffocating at times. Eventually, Connor broke the silence, asking, "Are you visiting the Nash family today?" "Yes." "I'll have Terry accompany you for protection." "That's not necessary. Just provide a car." "You are now my wife, not just a small flower shop owner. You should have a bodyguard when you go out. It's not safe otherwise." Marissa eyed Terry skeptically and declined again. "No. He would only slowdown if there was trouble." Terry was left speechless by her insult. Couldn't this village girl say something nice for once? Didn't she understand what being the captain of the richest man's bodyguards entailed? Would he earn a million-dollar salary annually if he didn't have the ability? As he pondered whether to demonstrate his true strength so Marissa wouldn't underestimate him, Marissa had already stood up and left. Terry felt as if he were choking, struggling to breathe. Marc patted Terry's hand, signaling him not to be angry with the naive village girl Connor glanced at them and said, "Marc, pick out a car for her. Also, have speople follow her discreetly for protection." "Yes, sir." Marc took the order But Terry was not happy. "Mr. Daniels, this village girl is so ungrateful. Why are you still so considerate towards her?" Connor shot him a cold look and said, "Do I need you to tellhow to handle things?" Terry shivered with fear and replied, "No, sir. I wouldn't dare." Following Connor's orders, Marc arranged for Marissa to have a ten-million-dollar Rolls-Royce. However, Marissa thought the car was too conspicuous. She ran to the garage and took an old motorcycle instead. Her exceptional driving skills allowed her to evade the bodyguards following her. By the tthe bodyguards reached the gate of the Nash family's house, Marissa had already gone inside Seeing the black motorcycle in the yard, the bodyguards were speechless. Marc, their leader, was especially surprised. How could a village girl like Marissa have such impressive driving skills? Marissa had no idea the bodyguards were grumbling about her. As soon as she entered the house, she was met with hostile glares. The Nash family mistook her for Tiffany, who had run away from her wedding. "Why did she cback? Didn't she flee the wedding?" "The latest news says she didn't flee but went to learn medical skills. She returned a few days ago." "What an idiot! She left to study without even informing Mrs. Arabella Daniels, causing her to fall ill from worry. Mr. Connor Daniels took his anger out on the Nash family."

"According to Miss Ayla Nash, Mr. Connor Daniels despises Tiffany. He's only keeping her as his wife for his grandmother's sake. Once his grandmother is gone, he'll divorce her and might take revenge on the Nash family." "She's such a jinx! She never brought honor to the Nash family and only brought misfortune!"

"Ayla has been exceptional since childhood. She graduated from fromm Biebert University's Medical School O and is now a candidate to be Dr.

Riss's apprentice. Ayla is a thousand times better than that jinx!"

Listening to the servants' gossip, Marissa realized that Tiffany had no standing in the family, and even the servants felt free to mistreat her. suddenly, someone shattered a huge glass in front of her. Just as she looked up, she was pushed from behind and fell to the floor amidst the broken glass
