Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 74:

Marissa stopped and turned around as Landen hurried over

Unaware of the recent events, Landen approached Marissa enthusiastically and said, “Let’s go inside together, Tiffany!”

Marissa nodded. Just as they were about to leave together, Balthasar said, “Landen, come here. Tiffany is no longer part of the Nash family. She belongs to the Sanchez family now, our adversaries. From now on, her name is Tiffany Sanchez.”

Landen, with a puzzled expression, looked from Marissa to Balthasar and inquired, “What happened, Grandpa?”

Balthasar’s expression turned serious, marked by disappointment. Just then, Gerry scoffed and said, “Landen, keep your distance from Tiffany in the future. She might bring bad luck to others, just like her mother.”noveldrama

Marissa could no longer tolerate such insults. She usually overlooked remarks about herself but felt compelled to defend her mother’s honor. But before she could react, Landen retorted loudly, “Who says Tiffany brings bad luck? She’s brought me good luck.” He then excitedly pulled out a printed screenshot of an email. “Look! Half a month ago, Tiffany encouraged me to courageously send my resume to Dr. Riss and apply for her mentoring. Today, Dr. Riss responded!”

Everyone was taken aback, then burst into laughter, clearly skeptical. Ayla laughed the loudest. “Don’t brag, Landen. You’re just a beginner in medical science. How could Dr. Riss even consider replying to you? I doubt Dr. Riss would waste her time on you!”

Landen, a little upset, glared at Ayla and said, “Why is it believable that you’d get a reply from Dr. Riss and not me? Maybe she sees potential in me!”

“What potential do you possibly have?” Gerry asked. “Landen, you’ve been defending Tiffany so much you’ve become as naive as her. You’re truly stupid!”

Before Landen could respond, Marissa stepped up and sharply slapped Gerry’s son across the face. The crisp smack left everyone wide-eyed in shock. Gerry’s son stood dazed by the slap, holding his swollen cheek, unsure of how to react

After a brief silence, Gerry yelled, “Why did you hit my son?”

Marissa pointed at Gerry’s son and retorted, “As his father, you should guide your son better. He’s too focused on nightclub women. Teach him to speak respectfully.”

With that, she turned and headed towards the entrance of the medical conference. Landen promptly followed her

“You, you, you…” Gerry was so furious he nearly lost his breath. His son finally came to his senses. He was so angry that his eyes turned red. He was about to charge at Marissa, but Balthasar intervened. “Now, consider the occasion. Don’t distract from what’s important. The fact that Ayla is becoming Dr. Riss’ apprentice is what matters most.”

Gerry and his son were forced to suppress their anger. Sansa chimed in, “Don’t worry, Gerry. Once Ayla is Riss’ apprentice, she’ll make sure to teach Tiffany a lesson for you and your son.”

As they entered the hall for the medical conference, Marissa turned to Landen and asked with a smile, “I’ve been cast out of the Nash family. Aren’t you worried about the repercussions for following me around?”

“How could I be worried about that?” Landen glanced disdainfully at the Nash family members, then turned to Marissa. “I need to behave well today. If I become Dr. Riss’ apprentice, I’ll make them pay for what they did just now.”

“You’ll make it,” Marissa said with a smile

“Ha!” Landen chuckled and replied, “Thanks for saying that. You must have a lucky charm in your words.”

As they were chatting and laughing, a sudden chill enveloped them, making their hair stand on end. They turned to find Connor standing behind them, his presence as chilling as the Grim Reaper
