Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 968:

He had lived in Connor’s shadow since they were kids. After recently being injured by White Mallow and kicked out of Doomsday Base, he had been brooding for days. But in this moment, seeing Connor’s troubles, he felt a twisted satisfaction.

Any misfortune that befell Connor brought Aelfric satisfaction. Chloe, noticing Aelfric’s mood finally shift, exhaled in relief.

“Aelfric, do you plan to expose Marissa’s masquerade as Tiffany?” she asked carefully.

“Of course,” Aelfric replied, a wicked glint in his eye.

“Gerry just informed me that Marissa has moved back to the Nash family’s house. She’s still keeping up the charade as Tiffany. The nerve of her—and Connor does nothing. He’s too busy protecting his image, pretending everything’s fine.” Aelfric’s voice grew sharper.

“Connor can’t stand the thought of people finding out he was duped into marrying a phony village girl and is raising kids that aren’t even his. He’d rather swallow his pride than face the humiliation. But I’m going to make sure everyone knows. I want to see him disgraced.”

He let out a low chuckle.

“Hah.”

Chloe felt a pang of guilt.

She had always admired Connor, secretly plotting to win his favor and become his wife, dreaming of marrying into the prestigious Daniels family. It was a secret she had kept hidden from everyone, even Aelfric.

Now, she was using Aelfric’s affection for her to deal with Marissa, whom she despised. But the thought of succeeding in her scheme and marrying Connor filled her with dread—what if Aelfric found out her real intention? Would he turn against her, consumed by rage?

Aelfric was a dangerous man. If he felt betrayed, she feared he might even kill her in his fury. The thought sent her heart racing.

But Chloe steeled herself, forcing her nerves to settle as she gathered the courage to stay the course.

If she managed to marry Connor, she wouldn’t worry about any fallout with Aelfric. After all, Aelfric had always been second to Connor, and she trusted that Connor would protect her without hesitation.noveldrama

With that reassurance, Chloe felt herself relax and smiled.

“Aelfric, if you want to expose Marissa’s lies, I can help you do it in a way that won’t cause you any trouble.”

“Oh?” Aelfric raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

“What’s your plan?”

Chloe replied, her voice laced with mischief, “Marissa’s parents and sister are furious with her. She’s been living in luxury, pretending to be Tiffany, while completely abandoning them. They’ve been talking about going to the Nash family’s house to expose her lies themselves.”
