Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 989:

She had not yet resolved her past relationship with Connor. Now faced with the prospect of a future with Everett, she felt overwhelmed, which culminated in a severe headache.

The other guests, unaware of the intricate dynamics between Marissa and Everett, missed the subtle glances exchanged between them. They were eager to introduce themselves to Everett and strike up a conversation.

Aelfric was also determined to connect with Everett. He needed to leave a positive impression for the sake of his family’s interests and due to his feelings for Chloe.

He maneuvered his electric wheelchair through the crowd, advancing ahead to greet Everett.

“Everett, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I am…”

However, Everett continued walking, seemingly oblivious to Aelfric’s attempt to engage him, and headed straight for Marissa.

Stranded, Aelfric experienced an unprecedented snub in the social circles of Blebert, leaving him visibly annoyed.

He fixed a sharp glare on Everett’s back, his eyes not straying for a considerable time.

Chloe, noticing the slight and sensing Aelfric’s discomfort, paused before offering words of consolation.

“Aelfric, my brother has just returned and hasn’t had the opportunity to know you yet. Please don’t take it personally.”

As Aelfric prepared to reassure Chloe, his attention shifted when he overheard Everett beginning to speak to Marissa…”Has your father arrived home yet?” Everett inquired of Marissa. His tone was soft but clear enough to be overheard by those nearby. His voice held a hint of familiarity and ease, as if he had known Marissa for a long time.

The others around them were confused. They wondered how Tiffany had come to know someone like Everett.noveldrama

In Blebert, despite the fame of many, few had the privilege of meeting Everett. It puzzled them how Tiffany, often underestimated by many, had managed to connect with him. Perhaps she knew him, but earning his respect was another matter.

The nature of Tiffany and Everett’s connection remained a mystery to most. They looked at each other with befuddlement and whispered among themselves.

Aelfric pondered deeply, his eyebrows furrowed. Everett was known for his unwavering arrogance, never showing deference to anyone. Yet, he was unexpectedly gentle and respectful with Marissa, a simple country girl.
