Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 829:

About half an hour later, Marissa and Silver Fox arrived at Paul’s villa. Paul, visibly thrilled, came out to greet Marissa. It appeared Paul had returned discreetly with only a few bodyguards and Elvis.

Upon seeing Marissa, Paul eagerly sized her up. “Kid, how have you been these days?”

“I’m fine, Mr. Alvarado,” Marissa responded.

Despite her smile, she felt a deep pain inside. Recent times had been tough for her. Discovering that Lawrence and Lindsay were Connor’s children had left her feeling deeply troubled and conflicted.

Knowing her father, Brian, had fallen off a cliff and his fate was unknown weighed heavily on her heart. But she could not share this with Paul or let him find out. To her astonishment, despite her efforts to conceal her emotions, Paul noticed.

“No, you’re not fine. I can tell.”

Marissa smiled bitterly and asked, “Mr. Alvarado, how did you find out?”

Paul smiled softly and said, “Don’t forget, I’ve always wanted to be your father. A father deeply cares for his daughter. No matter how well you hide your feelings, I can see the sorrow you’re hiding.”

Paul’s smile faded, replaced by a stern look. “Tell me, who’s been causing you trouble? No matter who it is, you must tell me so I can help you.”

Marissa initially felt very sad, but Paul’s evident concern and protectiveness warmed her heart, prompting a smile. “No one has been causing me trouble, Mr. Alvarado.”

“Kid, don’t lie to me,” Paul said.

“You must trust that I can handle anyone on your behalf. Even if it’s Connor, I can make him pay! I know you’re strong. Ordinary people can’t easily upset you.

The only one who could hurt you is Connor. Did you two fight? Or did Connor cheat, which hurt your relationship? Or did he do something else to wrong you? Whatever the case, you need to tell me. I’ll make sure he learns his lesson.”

Hearing this, Marissa chuckled. “He didn’t wrong me, Mr. Alvarado. You’re overthinking it.”noveldrama

“Then why do you look so sad?” Paul inquired.

With a sigh, Marissa said, “Something indeed upset me, but I can’t discuss it yet. I need to verify something before deciding whether to share it with you.”

“Oh?” Paul arched an eyebrow curiously. “So, the matter troubling you involves me somehow. I look forward to the day you feel ready to discuss it.”

Marissa shrugged and suggested, “Let’s set aside my issues for now, Mr. Alvarado. I’m here to help you examine the X-ray to see if you’re the same Paul from fifteen years ago.”

Paul nodded in agreement. “Okay.”

He was about to lead Marissa into the villa when he suddenly noticed Silver Fox, who had been quietly standing next to Marissa.

Initially, Paul had focused solely on Marissa, paying little mind to Silver Fox and assuming she was just an aide. However, he now found Silver Fox was likely not that simple. He gave Silver Fox a few more glances.

Silver Fox stood her ground, allowing Paul to look her over without flinching, and politely said, “Hello, Mr. Alvarado.”

Paul paused, examining Silver Fox from top to bottom, then turned to Marissa and asked, “This young lady is quite charming. Who is she?”
