Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1001:

“The Brock family has been under surveillance all these years?”

Everett nodded.

“Yes.

My grandfather figured out it was the same enemies from back then.

He told us to act like we didn’t notice, hoping that would keep us safe.”

As Paul listened to the whole story, his guilt only deepened.

Marissa, seeing his reaction, couldn’t help but feel it too.

Paul sighed, his voice heavy with regret as he said to Everett, “I never realized the risk I brought to the Brock family all these years.

It’s a weight on my conscience—I wish I knew how to make it right.”

Everett’s smile was warm, offering a reassuring glow.

“Mr. Nash, please don’t be too hard on yourself.

Sure, being under the watchful eye of those enemies isn’t ideal, but neither my grandfather nor I have ever regretted helping you.

Once Marissa and I tie the knot, we’ll be family, plain and simple.

And family faces its storms together.”

His gaze drifted meaningfully toward Marissa.

“Once Marissa becomes my wife, your burdens become mine.

That’s a promise.

My grandfather and I spent most of our years abroad, leaving the Brock family matters to my father and choosing to ignore those enemies.

But things have changed—I’m back, and I’ve taken the reins of the family.

With you back, I’ll fully support you in fighting these foes head-on.”

“But Everett…” Paul hesitated.

“Now that I’ve come back to Blebert and revealed who I am, that’ll no doubt bring some enemies sniffing around, and we might be in for one heck of a showdown.

If the Brock family decides to get involved, you could be facing some serious trouble.noveldrama

I’ve already put enough weight on your family’s shoulders, and the last thing I want is to bring you more trouble.

Maybe…”

Seeing Paul’s reluctance, Marissa chimed in, saying, “Mr. Brock, like my father, I feel the burden too.

I’d hate to see your family pulled into a battle you don’t deserve.

To keep your family safe, maybe we should call off the engagement.

There are other ways I can repay your family’s kindness.”

With Marissa’s words, a heavy silence settled over everyone.

Everett pressed his lips together, letting the quiet linger as he thought deeply.
