Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 822:

Silver Fox blushed, taken aback by his flirting—a side of him she hadn’t expected. This time, she chose not to tease him in return but instead accepted the milk and continued enjoying her breakfast.

The drive to the Crystal Hotel was brief, and they arrived just as Marissa was pulling up.

After brief greetings, Marissa turned to Silver Fox. “You don’t have to come with me to Cher Snain. It’s only your second day of marriage. It’s not right to separate so soon.”

Silver Fox shook her head, resolute. “I’ve already told him you’re more important to me. If forced to choose, I’d choose you without hesitation.”

Marissa shot Burnet an awkward glance. He merely shrugged, resigned. Ignoring him, Silver Fox took Marissa’s hand and they walked into the hotel together.

Left behind, Burnet watched his private jet take off, feeling a mix of pride and loneliness. The jet soared into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.

He sighed, ruefully thinking about the unique challenges of having a wife capable of flying planes.

Unaware of Burnet’s contemplative mood, Silver Fox focused on the mission. The flight to Cher Snain lasted ten hours, but upon arrival, they quickly located Rose Cliff.

Following clues from Q, Marissa uncovered a chip hidden under a stone at the cliff’s peak. Eagerly, she connected the chip to a laptop, anxious to check its contents.

The chip only contained a video and nothing else. Marissa was anxious, her hands shaking with anticipation. She was desperate to see what the video was about, yet at the same time, she was terrified of what she might discover.

She was usually quick and resolute when it came to making decisions, but she found herself hesitating, even as her thumb hovered over the play button. Beside her, Silver Fox fixed her eyes on the screen and waited for the video to start.

Sensing Marissa’s anxiety, she reassured her in a calm, soothing voice, “I know that this is scary for you, considering this involves your father. But you need to be brave. Just go for it.”

Marissa pressed her lips together and nodded slightly. At last, she tapped on the video file.

As expected, it was a video of her father, Brian. His face appeared on the screen, and the background was Rose Cliff. In fact, it looked like he was exactly where she was currently standing.

Brian was slowly walking backward to the edge of the cliff, all while facing the camera with pain and despair etched on his face. He looked frail and worn out; his complexion was ashen, and his hair was disheveled by the strong winds.

Being the top-notch doctor that she was, Marissa could instantly recognize the signs of depression in her father’s expression and body language. The poor man was trapped in a never-ending cycle of suffering.

King had mentioned before that Brian had sent him a letter detailing the grim circumstances of his life. He told King that his health was crashing and his mental state was hanging by a thread.

The person filming stood behind the camera, so their appearance was not visible in the footage. However, judging from the voices in the background, they could tell that many people had come to intervene and coax Brian out of what he was trying to do.

“Don’t do anything you would regret, Brian! Think about it carefully. If you jump, you will never see your wife or daughters again!”noveldrama

“That’s right! Think about your wife and your children, and your aging father. If you go through with this, they will be left behind with painful, unanswered questions.”
