Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 998:

Marissa took a deep breath before answering.

“You know my dad is Paul, the owner of the Sunrise. I’ve shared parts of his story, but what you don’t know is that Everett’s grandfather was the one who saved my dad’s life. When my father was rescued, he made a deal: one of his…”

Marissa took a breath, keeping her voice steady.

“I didn’t know about the engagement when I decided to divorce you. Our divorce has nothing to do with him.”

Connor’s frustration bubbled over.

“You can’t go through with this marriage.”

Marissa quickly typed a new message.

“You shouldn’t come to the party. My dad really doesn’t want you here. If you show up, it’ll only create problems.”

She added, “But you can send someone to bring the kids to see him. He misses them.”

After sending the message, Marissa tucked her phone away and walked ahead.

In fact, not inviting the Daniels family wasn’t her choice. She wasn’t worried about feeling awkward at all. It was her father’s decision—he just didn’t want to deal with Connor, whom he found irritating.

Back at Daniels Manor, Connor let out an exasperated sigh, trying to process Marissa’s words.

Connor had figured out it was Paul who chose not to invite the Daniels family, because Marissa wasn’t someone who would be afraid of feeling awkward.

For Connor, things felt impossibly complicated. He wanted a second chance with Marissa—to start fresh and fix what went wrong. But with Paul openly against him, that hope was fading fast.

Most challenges, he could tackle head-on. But winning over Marissa’s father? That was a battle he couldn’t fight with sheer determination.

Paul’s dislike was evident—he had already found a fiancé for Marissa. Connor felt the clock ticking. If he didn’t act soon, she might be lost to him for good.

A restless energy coursed through him. He couldn’t just sit back any longer.

He paused for a moment, then glanced over at Domenic, who was waiting nearby.

“Get everything ready. I need to…”
