Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 951:noveldrama

Gerry had revealed that Marissa and Connor were already divorced earlier tonight. Though Marissa calmly confirmed it, Hannah didn’t believe it.

She hadn’t heard a peep about it before now, and it seemed out of character for Connor, who clearly had deep feelings for Marissa. Even if their relationship had hit a rough patch and they were headed for divorce, it wouldn’t have happened so swiftly and quietly—especially without a word from Arabella.

Hannah wasn’t the only one left scratching her head. Balthasar and Sergio, seated nearby, looked to Marissa, waiting for her to set the record straight.

Across the screen, Paul was just as curious. Before Marissa had bid him farewell, she’d mentioned her intention to divorce Connor once she returned to Blebert. But for things to have gone this smoothly? Paul couldn’t quite believe it. He was also worried sick about what would happen to his grandchildren now.

Before Marissa could speak, Landen, clearly exasperated, jumped in.

“Boss, those rumors can’t be true, right?” Landen simply couldn’t fathom that Connor would ever let Marissa go. Others might not know the depth of Connor’s feelings, but Landen had seen it firsthand. Connor, usually so distant and cold, would go above and beyond to win Marissa over when it came to her. The idea of Connor agreeing to a divorce seemed absurd. Even if Marissa had initiated it, Connor would have begged her to stay.

Landen had never given the rumors of Connor dumping Marissa any credence, brushing them off as idle gossip.

“We’re divorced,” Marissa confirmed, her voice steady, “but it wasn’t like what people are saying. I was the one who asked for it. We signed the papers a few days ago, and the divorce was finalized.”

“You’re serious?” Hannah’s eyes widened with disbelief. Balthasar and Sergio exchanged glances, their faces a mix of concern and uncertainty.

The marriage between Connor and Marissa had held strategic value for the Nash family. They hadn’t expected huge gains from their ties to the Daniels family, but these ties kept potential adversaries at bay.

With rumors swirling that Connor had divorced Marissa, the Nash family couldn’t escape the fallout. Some people were bound to mock them, while old rivals might even seize the moment to settle scores.

It was an unfavorable situation for the family.

But those concerns belonged to the past—before they uncovered the powerful connections Marissa and Paul brought to the table. Now, the Nash family had no reason to worry about anyone scheming against them. They had two heavy hitters on their side: the owner of the Sunrise and the chief instructor of Doomsday. With such clout, the Nash family could hold their own in Blebert without breaking a sweat.

Even so, curiosity about what had truly transpired between Marissa and Connor nagged at them.

If they hadn’t learned that the woman standing before them was Marissa and not Tiffany, they might have judged her for not taking her marriage seriously. After all, Tiffany had gone to great lengths to pursue Connor and secure a place in the Daniels family. It seemed unbelievable that she would just throw it all away on a whim.

But knowing that this was Marissa, not Tiffany, put an end to any accusations. All they wanted now was clarity.

“Marissa, there’s something I can’t quite wrap my head around,” Sergio finally spoke up.

“It was Tiffany who was supposed to marry Connor. How did you end up in her place? Did Tiffany really run off before the wedding?”

“It was a misunderstanding that led to me marrying Connor instead of Tiffany,” Marissa explained calmly.

“Connor mistook me for her. Yes, Tiffany did run away from the wedding, and she’s not in Blebert at the moment.”
