Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 619:

After settling into the hotel, Silver Fox relaxed with a warm bath, dried her hair, slipped into her pajamas, and got ready for a restful sleep. Just as she lay down on the bed, a message from Burnet appeared on her phone.

Confused and then irate after reading his words, Silver Fox shot back a quick reply. “You’re the one who’s blind. Your whole family is blind.” Still feeling unresolved, she sent another message. “Considering you are infatuated with a manipulative woman like Clarissa, I’m not as blind as you.”

After expressing her frustration, she added, “Why did you call me blind?”

Meanwhile, Burnet remained outside the hotel. Reading her replies, he couldn’t help but smile, recalling the times when they had undertaken the same mission years ago.

After so many years, Silver Fox had become more mature and alluring, but her personality remained unchanged—fiery and unyielding. If provoked, she would retaliate fiercely, questioning the motive only after striking back.

He had always been drawn to her strong character, even when her face was hidden behind a mask. The revelation last night that she was the woman he had admired from afar left him astoundingly surprised.

To him, she was the perfect blend of beauty and strength—a woman he felt destined to cherish.

Reflecting further, he recalled Ernst referring to Silver Fox as Eloisa Swain in their chats. Given her position as the chief perfumer at Minty Fragrances and Perfumes and the fact that the president of its branch also bore the surname Swain, Burnet suspected she might actually be the president herself.

This possibility only deepened his awe of her. Silver Fox—or Eloisa—seemed to embody multiple impressive identities, each more fascinating than the last.noveldrama

Apart from having dated someone like Ernst, everything else about her was exemplary. Believing Silver Fox still misinterpreted his relationship with Clarissa, Burnet once again clarified with patience, “My relationship with Clarissa is purely out of my gratitude for her saving my life. It’s not romantic. Please don’t misunderstand.”

Silver Fox quickly responded, “Who cares about your relationship with that manipulative woman? Why did you call me blind?”

Burnet replied, “It’s because you’re not seeing me in a positive light. Isn’t that a form of blindness?”

Silver Fox retorted, “Burnet, you’re really out of your mind.”

Burnet then sent a smiling emoji along with a gentle message. “Sleep well. I won’t bother you anymore.”

Upon reading this, Silver Fox pouted, muttered “crazy” under her breath, and then settled down to sleep peacefully.

Content with their exchange, Burnet started his car and departed from the Palace Hotel.

The previous night, when Marissa traveled back from the Skytop Mansion on Connor’s private jet, she sent an email to Mr. G, the head of the Rasetsu Group.

Despite their long acquaintance, they communicated solely via email. However, she had not received a reply from Mr. G even when she returned to the Daniels Manor.

Marissa felt exhausted and decided not to wait up. She retired to bed, comforted by Connor’s presence after a relaxing hot bath.

The next noon, Connor, who had risen early, sat quietly beside the bed reading documents, allowing her to sleep undisturbed. When she finally woke, he put aside his papers and gently inquired, “Awake?”

Marissa replied, “Connor, thank you for helping me at the Skytop Mansion last night.”

Connor responded with a warm smile, “There’s no need for formalities with your own husband.”

This made Marissa blush involuntarily. Despite their marriage being a mere deal, his endearing words touched her deeply, causing a warm flush of emotion. In an attempt to compose herself, she picked up her phone to check her messages and discovered that Mr. G had finally responded to her email
