Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1043:

As the crowd’s theories spiraled, they painted Marissa not just as an imposter but as a sinister villain orchestrating her schemes for profit and power. Calls for police intervention began to echo, urging Hannah to take immediate action against Marissa.

Amidst the chaos, Chloe, now teary-eyed, rushed to Paul. “Mr. Nash, this deceitful country girl has harmed Tiffany. You must deliver justice for her,” she implored.

All eyes then shifted to Paul, the formidable owner of the Sunrise, as the air thickened with tension. Korbin, Betty, and Denise eagerly fanned the flames, concocting various nefarious deeds to attribute to Marissa.

Through it all, Paul remained a pillar of calm, his presence as imposing as ever. His incisive gaze locked onto Derek, his voice cutting through the noise. “Derek, I need the truth now. Is this woman in front of you truly your ex-fiancée, Marissa?”

The weight of Paul’s question seemed to crush Derek further, his fear palpable as he shivered under the dual shadows of the stern Connor and the formidable Paul. “Speak up!” Paul’s command thundered across the gathering.

Startled into action, Derek trembled, looked up at Marissa, and finally spoke.

“Marissa, don’t blame me. I told you from the start to stop, to walk away. But you didn’t listen—you were too greedy. Now that everyone knows who you really are, you’ve got what you deserve.” Derek’s words landed heavily, confirming Marissa’s impersonation of Tiffany.

The crowd buzzed again, whispers spreading like wildfire.

“So, she really is an imposter. That country girl is so bold. It’s one thing to impersonate Tiffany, especially since the Nash family was weak before Brian returned, but she actually dared to marry Connor using Tiffany’s name? That’s something else.”

“Now it all makes sense. That’s why Connor divorced her so suddenly. A man like him—head of the most powerful family around—would never stay with a woman whose reputation is in tatters. He must have been disgusted when he found out the truth.”

“He didn’t make a scene, though. He just divorced her to keep his dignity intact. But her? She acted like she was still Tiffany, putting on a show in front of Paul. She has no shame.”

“I heard Paul doesn’t care about appearances, unlike Connor. He acts on his own impulses. So now, that country girl? She could be in serious trouble.”

“Alright, enough talking. Let’s just wait and see what happens.”

Marissa heard every word, but she didn’t react like the others expected. Instead of panicking, she stayed calm, staring at Derek in a way that made him uneasy.noveldrama

“Derek,” Marissa said slowly, “you always tried to make advances on me when I was still your aunt-in-law. When that didn’t work, you joined these people to slander me. Is that right?”

When Derek had just returned to the Daniels family, word had spread that he had tried to harass Tiffany while drunk at the Palace Hotel. Now, with Marissa bringing it up, the memory of that incident resurfaced for everyone. What shocked everyone was that Marissa didn’t fall to her knees, begging Paul for forgiveness when Derek exposed her. Instead, she stood tall and asked Derek a question. Her calm confidence made them wonder whether she really was an imposter.

Derek hadn’t expected her to be so tough. Even after everything that had happened, she didn’t back down. She wasn’t afraid to challenge him, and it made him furious.
