Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 76:

As Landen spoke up, Domenic, Marc, and Terry were taken aback. They had nearly forgotten Landen was there and almost revealed too much. Domenic reacted swiftly, flashing a forced smile, and said to Landen, “Mr. Nash, you must have misunderstood. We weren’t talking about Mrs. Daniels.” He nodded courteously and hurried to catch up with Connor. Terry’s expression showed his frustration, but Marc quickly pulled him away. Landen raised an eyebrow but didn’t dwell on it and left to find Marissa

Marissa entered the lounge alone and noticed Arabella deep in conversation with Ruth. Even though she was too far away to catch their words, their friendly and easy expressions made it clear they were well-acquainted. Daryl and Rachel were seated with them, smiling, while Shaun and Leila enjoyed some juice at the next table. Leila spotted Marissa first and said, “Tiffany, over here!” Her shout drew the attention of Arabella and the other Sanchez family members, prompting Arabella to wave, too. “Sweetie, come join us!”

Marissa approached with a smile and took Arabella’s extended hand. “Grandma and Grandma, you two know each other?”

Arabella leaned in and whispered, “Sweetie, I took the initiative to come over and chat with the Sanchez family because I heard you acknowledged them as your family. I wanted to ensure they know you’re respected in the Daniels family, so they won’t underestimate you, humph!” Though Arabella intended to whisper, her voice carried, and everyone around them heard her, leading to chuckles. Marissa whispered back in jest, “Thank you, Grandma. With your support, no one in Blebert would dare trouble me.” Arabella beamed, raised her chin proudly, glanced at the Sanchez family, and assumed a noble air, looking utterly adorable

Then, Marissa warmly greeted each of the others. Ruth, Daryl, and Rachel smiled in relief. They had been concerned about Tiffany’s well-being within the Daniels family, but Arabella’s protective stance reassured them. Leila joined Marissa, linking arms, and asked, “Tiffany, is it true that the Nash family expects Dr. Riss to announce today that she’s taking Ayla as her disciple?”

Marissa responded with a smile, “We’ll see soon enough. Let’s just wait and see.”

Their conversation was briefly interrupted when Arabella suddenly pulled Marissa closer and eyed Leila suspiciously, saying, “Little girl, my sweetie needs to stay with me later, so you can’t take her away.”

Leila playfully blinked and said, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Daniels. I won’t take her away from you.” The group laughed again

Marissa reassured Arabella while linking arms with her, “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’m here just for you today. No one can take me away.”

Pleased, Arabella shook her shoulders joyfully and, holding Marissa’s arm, suggested, “Let’s go check if Dr. Riss has arrived and see if there are any rare herbs you like.”

“Grandma, Uncle Daryl, Rachel, would you like to join us?” Marissa invited the others to come along

“Absolutely,” Ruth replied. “We’re also eager to meet Dr. Riss. We wanted to thank her personally and buy some rare herbs that might aid your mother’s recovery.”noveldrama

With that, both families made their way to the medical conference together. The venue was lavishly decorated, matching the medical theme, and bustling with attendees. Marissa and Arabella looked around for a while before reaching the area dedicated to the auction for rare herbs

Rumors circulated that Dr. Riss would appear there today, attracting a large crowd, including the Nash family. Sansa and Ayla, now dressed appropriately, were standing alongside Balthasar, surrounded by the rest of the Nash family, like two proud peacocks. As Marissa and her companions entered the exhibition space, a voice suddenly exclaimed, “Oh my gosh!”
