Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 16:

The reactions of the others remained unchanged. They all knew that Marissa and Connor had officially married, so her calling him intimately wasn’t unusual. However, her tone was exceptionally sweet, causing some to feel goosebumps. This wasn’t the Miss Nash they remembered

Everyone was aware that Miss Nash had deeply fallen in love with Connor and had devoted much effort to pleasing Arabella to marry him. Yet, she had only used her tactics on Arabella. Whenever Connor was around, she seemed timid and struggled to speak clearly. They had never seen her call Connor “honey” with such confidence before

Most onlookers simply shrugged and exchanged knowing smiles, but Derek’s reaction was one of utter astonishment, his mouth open. He stared at Marissa and Connor, completely baffled. Back when he was just a village boy, Connor was the figure Derek idolized. Now, as Connor’s nephew, he felt honored to be in his presence, almost wishing he could worship at Connor’s feet daily

It baffled Derek to see Marissa, whom he had looked down upon, clinging to Connor’s arm and addressing him so affectionately. What was happening here? How could it be so unreal? As Marissa clung to Connor’s arm, calling him “honey,” Connor felt a tingling in his arm and his ears almost melted. If one observed closely, they would notice Connor’s ears turning red, though he typically maintained a cool and commanding demeanornoveldrama

Domenic, Marc, and Terry were standing behind Connor. They were all elites working for Connor, yet at that moment, they looked like fools. The last time they saw her, Marissa was an arrogant village girl—a stark contrast to the sweet girl they saw today. Hadn’t she gone back to her hometown to get married? Why was she now working as a waitress at the hotel?

Domenic snapped out of his daze and discreetly dispatched some people to Adagend to find out what had happened. Just then, Arabella emerged from the room. “Why did I hear my granddaughter-in-law’s voice? Is she back?”

Hearing this, Marissa approached Arabella and sweetly called out, “Grandma!”

Arabella’s face lit up with joy as soon as she saw Marissa. “It is indeed my sweetie. Come here. Let me have a look at you!”

Marissa stood in front of Arabella with a smile, allowing Arabella to take her hand and examine her closely

“Sweetie, didn’t Connor say you had gone to study medical skills? Why are you working as a waitress in this hotel now?”

“Grandma, I came especially to see you. I wanted to surprise you.”

“Really? Oh, I’m so happy!”

Connor turned slightly and eyed Marissa, who had just lied to delight Arabella. He murmured, “You little liar.”

At that point, Derek appeared even more bewildered than Domenic, Marc, and Terry. When Marissa had affectionately called Connor “honey,” Derek was taken aback. Now, seeing her so close with Arabella, he felt like he had been struck by lightning. He started to question himself. Was this the same woman he had dumped?

Full of doubt, he leaned over to Lorna and asked, “Mom, who is she?”

Lorna whispered back, “That’s Connor’s wife, Tiffany Nash. She’s from the Nash family in Blebert. They’ve just gotten married. Don’t be afraid of her. She’s just a fool, not good at much except making your great-grandmother smile. Connor doesn’t really care for her. Once your great-grandmother is gone, he plans to divorce her quickly!”

Hearing Lorna’s explanation, Derek narrowed his eyes in thought. Marissa Nash? Tiffany Nash? Marissa was just a village girl from Adagend. How had she become a member of the Nash family in Blebert?

After a moment, Derek concluded that Marissa must be impersonating Tiffany! In the past, Derek had believed all of Marissa’s money came from sleeping with guys in clubs. Now, it seemed she was also profiting from pretending to be Tiffany. What a resourceful woman she was! She managed to marry Connor by pretending to be Tiffany while almost getting married to him as Marissa. He was determined to expose her

But before he could speak up, he heard Marissa say to Arabella, “Grandma, I accidentally hurt your new great-grandson. Will you hold it against me?”

“Hmph!” Arabella responded sternly, “I heard everything. That boy has been living away for years and has picked up some bad habits. He needs to be straightened out. You are his aunt-in-law and it’s your responsibility to teach him a lesson.” Then Arabella gestured to Derek and said, “Come here, you brat. Kneel down and apologize to your aunt-in-law!”

Derek was stunned. “Great-grandmother, you’re being deceived by her. She’s a fake!”
