Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1047:

Korbin’s eyes flicked around nervously as he murmured, “Could it be that the Marissa we adopted is actually the twin sister of Tiffany?”

“What?” Betty’s eyes widened in shock, but she dismissed the thought moments later. “That’s impossible. How could Marissa, a wretched woman, come from such a distinguished background? Her resemblance to Tiffany must be merely coincidental.”

Despite their hushed tones, Marissa overheard their conversation. Hearing Betty refer to her as a “wretched woman” again ignited her fury.

Betty had hurled such insults at her since childhood, causing her deep emotional pain that had left lasting scars.

Now that she was grown and capable of defending herself, Marissa would no longer tolerate such disrespect. Moreover, she owed Korbin and Betty nothing. In fact, they had been living off her financial support and care for many years.

Today was the day Marissa would settle the score.

With a fierce look, she confronted the couple. “You accepted bribes to spread lies and slander about me, damaging both my reputation and that of my family. Now, you must face the consequences!”

Korbin and Betty could no longer convince themselves that the woman before them was Marissa. Overcome with guilt, they knelt and pleaded for mercy. “Miss Nash, we’re really sorry! Please forgive us. We were misled and mistaken. We beg for your mercy. It was not our intention to harm you.”

“Wasn’t your intention?” Marissa sneered. “You even convinced Mr. Derek Daniels to join in your scheme. And now, you’re telling me it wasn’t your intention? I’m not stupid. It’s obvious you did those things on purpose!”

At this, Korbin and Betty were left speechless.

Marissa glanced at Aelfric, Chloe, and their group, then said to Korbin and Betty, “Given your ignorance, if you tell me who’s behind this, I might give you less punishment!”

As Marissa finished speaking, Chloe’s anxiety spiked.

Although both she and Aelfric were involved, she had been the one in contact with Korbin and Betty all along. Any confession from them would implicate her, and she desperately didn’t want to be dragged into the mire.

Before Korbin and Betty could respond, Chloe dashed forward and kicked them, casting aside her usual poise and grace.

The two were taken aback by what Chloe had done. Just as they were about to protest, Chloe lashed out at them. “You scoundrels! How dare you come here and slander my best friend?! Do you have a death wish? Tell the truth and nothing but the whole truth. If you lie, I’ll make sure you deeply regret it!”

Chloe, known for her composed and goddess-like demeanor, stunned everyone with an uncharacteristic outburst.

The sheer force of her anger left the room in hushed shock, as this side of Chloe was something they’d never imagined.noveldrama

She scolded Korbin and Betty, unleashing words that cut like a whip. But soon, she caught herself, realizing her behavior had been far from her usual grace. With an awkward smile, she turned to Marissa and said, “Tiffany, I’m so sorry. I just couldn’t stomach their slander against you.”

The others nodded in approval, thinking it only natural for Chloe, known for her kindness, to lose her cool in defense of a dear friend. After all, even the calmest seas can erupt into waves when provoked.
