Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 598:

Burnet was staring at Silver Fox obsessively, seemingly oblivious to everything happening around him. When Silver Fox suddenly questioned him, he was momentarily stunned. It took him two full seconds to return to reality.

As he regained his composure, he raised an eyebrow leisurely, then smiled. “White Mallow, your spinning kick was spectacular.”

Caught off guard, Silver Fox wondered if Burnet was genuinely impressed by the moment she kicked Aelfric into the pit. Surely, she wouldn’t believe him. She didn’t think he was a good man!

With this in mind, Silver Fox retorted, “Who’d believe any words from someone like you? You don’t even look like a decent person. I’m warning you, stay away from me, or you’ll regret it.”

Connor chuckled, casting a gloating glance at Burnet. He had expected Burnet to be embarrassed, but to his surprise, Burnet seemed to relish the scolding.

Connor arched his eyebrows in surprise. While others might not understand Burnet’s expression, having known him for so many years, Connor could read it perfectly. It was clear as day that Burnet had a crush on White Mallow.

Connor’s curiosity was piqued. With Burnet’s sharp mind, he should have realized that White Mallow was the same person as Elin, who had taken eighty million from him.

In Elin’s presence, Burnet had worn a look of disdain, declaring that he disliked women of her type. How could he now be so enamored? What had sparked this sudden desire for love in Mr. Hoffman?

While Connor pondered this, he heard Silver Fox scolding again, “Hey! Burnet, stop eyeing me like that. If you keep it up, I’ll gouge your eyes out.”

Connor looked at Burnet with glee once more. Burnet nodded with a smile and averted his gaze from Silver Fox. Silver Fox felt a wave of relief as he finally stopped staring at her.

She shrugged her shoulders and complained softly to Marissa, “This guy looks more and more like a sly old fox. If I could take him down, I’d have done it already.”

Marissa’s mouth twitched slightly in amusement. She teased back, “Aren’t you also a cunning fox? You two could make a great pair. How about you marry him?”

“Ugh! A great pair? Stop insulting me,” Silver Fox said in disgust. “I wouldn’t even let him be my slave. If I had to marry him, I’d rather jump into that pit.”

Though they spoke in hushed tones, the quiet surroundings allowed those nearby to hear them. Connor couldn’t help but laugh. Marissa, Marc, and Terry all shook with silent amusement. noveldrama

Xander laughed too, then cast a gloating look at Burnet. It was the first time he had seen his brother so openly disliked by a woman. He was eager to see Burnet’s reaction.

After casting a glance at Silver Fox, Burnet looked up at the sky with a resigned expression. He had not expected her to despise him so much.

Was it because he had demanded thirty million in compensation when she hit his car? Would she forgive him if he offered her three hundred million now?

Observing Burnet’s reaction, Xander had an epiphany. Did his brother have a crush on White Mallow? The thought made Xander chuckle.

He had jokingly suggested that liking White Mallow would be better than being with Clarissa, and his brother had taken it to heart.

Turning his gaze from Burnet, Xander looked at White Mallow from head to toe. He mused that having White Mallow as a sister-in-law wouldn’t be so bad.

Although no one knew what White Mallow looked like, Xander was convinced she must be a beauty, worthy of his brother.

Unaware of what the Hoffman brothers were thinking, Silver Fox, after venting about Burnet, asked Marissa, “So, what’s our next move?”

Taking another glance at the bottom of the pit, Marissa sighed slightly and replied, “There’s nothing we can do. We’ll have to wait for the mysterious boss to show up.”

Silver Fox curled her lips in frustration. “I didn’t expect Clarissa to be such a freak.” She couldn’t resist taking another jab at Burnet. “Mr. Hoffman, your beloved Clarissa is down there. Aren’t you going to jump in and keep her company?”
