Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1010:

Amid the conversation, Gerry suddenly turned to him and asked, “Brian, why are you wearing a mask? Why not let everyone see your real face?”

Paul was fully prepared for the barrage of questions from his family members, standing unruffled as their curious eyes focused on him.

Marissa lingered just behind, keeping her distance, while Everett stood quietly by her side, observing the exchange with an air of detachment.noveldrama

With a faint smile beneath his mask, Paul explained smoothly, “There are two reasons for this mask.

First, I was injured during that explosion at BIO Grein’s hospital years back.

My face was left with a few scars, and the mask helps me hide them.”

The family members murmured, nodding in vague understanding.

Gerry, however, wasn’t so easily satisfied and immediately asked, “Alright, and the second reason?”

Paul’s gaze lingered on Gerry for a beat before he answered, “Well, the second reason is that my current identity is… let’s say, somewhat unique.”

“Unique, you say?” Gerry looked Paul up and down, scrutinizing every detail.

“Brian, you’ve got everyone here wondering who exactly you are right now.

Judging from the outfit and the entourage, it seems like you’ve gotten pretty important, haven’t you?”

Paul merely shrugged, letting a hint of mystery color his response.

“It’s nothing really.

A bit of mystery goes a long way, so bear with the mask for now.”

The Nash family members exchanged uncertain glances, clearly intrigued but hesitant to push further.

The air of secrecy around Paul only added to their curiosity.

But Gerry wasn’t one to back down easily.

With a mocking grin, he pressed.

“Come on, are you really planning to hide your new identity from your family? Do we not deserve your trust?”

“Well, of course, I could tell you my new identity,” Paul smiled lightly and threw a glance at Elvis beside him, who picked up the cue.

Stepping forward with a courteous smile, Elvis asked, “Has anyone here visited the Sunrise? Perhaps you’ve seen me there?” The Nash family members’ attention shifted to Elvis.

They finally assessed the dignified gentleman in the formal tailcoat.

Though Paul still hadn’t disclosed his new identity, the commanding aura he exuded left no room for doubt—he held a position of considerable influence.

This mix of intrigue and power was exactly why the Nash family members felt a blend of excitement and unease in his presence.
