Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 988:

Aelfric had always dismissed others as unworthy rivals, including Connor, the head of the Daniels family. For years, his sole ambition had been to eclipse Connor and dominate Blebert’s elite social circles.

However, before he could outshine Connor, Everett emerged as another daunting adversary. Aelfric’s frustration deepened, especially when he saw Chloe, the woman he loved, standing beside Everett. The realization that he needed Everett’s approval to marry her only added to his discontent.

Once the guests realized that the man before them was indeed Everett, the new patriarch of the Brock family, whispers filled the room.

“My goodness, it’s so surprising that Everett is so strikingly handsome. He seems to rival even Connor, traditionally considered the most handsome man in Blebert.”

“Having Connor in Blebert was enough to make the city sparkle, causing widespread envy among online communities across the nation. Now with Everett’s return, Blebert will be celebrated as a miraculous place.”

“Is it true that men with such universal appeal are typically reserved? Connor is known for his aloofness and reluctance to socialize. Everett appears to share that disposition.”

“Though Everett seems more polished than Connor, their personalities reflect a similar sense of nobility and detachment.”

“That’s right. I’ve heard that since returning to Blebert, Everett has avoided social gatherings and has been aloof with other members of the upper class. He has even turned away those who attempted to visit him.”

“It’s surprising that someone so reserved and dignified would attend the Nash family’s banquet. He seems to hold the Nash family in high esteem. Despite Brian having been missing for twenty-two years, his influence remains strong as he returns.”

The lively discussions among the guests underscored that Everett and Brian were the focal points of the evening, captivating everyone’s attention within the banquet hall.

Everett, clearly aware of the surrounding whispers, kept his expression unchanged. He appeared unfazed, as if he heard nothing. Upon entering the hall, he immediately locked his eyes on Marissa.

This was Marissa’s first time seeing Everett, and for reasons she couldn’t pinpoint, she felt a surge of nerves.noveldrama

Now that she knew she and Everett were engaged and the Brock family had intervened to save her father, Marissa found it challenging to face Everett comfortably. These two significant connections stirred a sense of unease every time Everett’s gaze met hers.
