Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 898:

Out of curiosity, Marissa quickly sent a message to Zyair.

“Old Peacock, tell me the truth. Have you been keeping secrets from me all these years?”

Soon, Zyair replied, “You know all and even appointed you as my successor. What could I be hiding from you?”

Marissa responded, “Think carefully. Don’t miss anything. If you intentionally omit something, I’ll cut next month’s allowance in half.”

Zyair quickly replied, “Don’t! Marissa, it seems like you always use money to manipulate me. However, there is indeed something significant I haven’t shared with you yet. I wonder if this is what you’re hinting at.”

Marissa answered, “Spill it.”

Zyair replied, “I have your marriage contract.”

Seeing this, Marissa smiled slightly. Just as Silver Fox had mentioned, Zyair possessed Marissa’s marriage contract. She asked, “Who’s my fiancé?”

Zyair answered, “Everett Brock, from the Brock family in Blebert. He recently returned to Blebert and assumed leadership of the family.”

Marissa asked, “How did you come by the marriage contract?”

Zyair replied, “Shortly after you arrived at the Doomsday Base, Everett brought the contract to me, claiming he was engaged to you and asked me to look after you. He also mentioned that I could contact him if any issues arose.”

Marissa was surprised to learn that, at just fifteen years old, Everett had already been looking out for her. It appeared that following the agreement between Everett’s grandfather and her father, Everett’s grandfather not only secured the best doctor for her father but also tracked her down. After locating her, he did not disturb her but kept a discreet watch over her.

Marissa responded, “Master, why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?”

Zyair said, “Well, it was Everett who requested I keep it from you. You were quite young then, and he feared you’d feel overwhelmed by it. He’s observed you progressing from a novice to the chief instructor at the Doomsday Base. Oh, and just so you know, that man really admires you. Over the years, he’s donated a significant amount to the Doomsday Base, more than a billion dollars in total.”

Marissa paused for a moment, unsure how to continue discussing Everett with Zyair. She was unfamiliar with Everett, yet the Brock family had greatly helped the Nash family, and Everett had secretly protected her for years. After some thought, she composed another message, “Master, I’ve decoded the chip’s contents, and I’ve also found the person who originally gave you the chip.”

Zyair responded eagerly, “Really? Tell me, what’s on the chip, and who gave it to me?”

Marissa said, “It was my father who gave you the chip, and it contains years of his work.”

Zyair replied, “Your father? You found your father?”

Marissa replied, “Yes. He’s Paul Alvarado, the owner of the Sunrise.”

Zyair then sent a shocked emoji.

“Wow, your dad is the famous owner of the Sunrise?”

Quickly after, Zyair sent another message, full of disbelief.

“Hold on, didn’t you say before that it was Paul who orchestrated the theft of the chip from the Doomsday Base? What was he thinking? Why did he send me the chip to keep it safe, only to try to steal it back later? Did he think I wouldn’t return it if he asked? Not only did he steal it, but his subordinate also ended up hurting his own daughter. Does he know his subordinate nearly ended your life?”

Marissa patiently explained the tribulations Paul had endured to Zyair.

Following her explanation, Zyair said, “I had no idea your father had endured so much. He’s truly a genius; even after such a downfall, he ascended again to become the famous Paul Alvarado. I can’t compare myself to your father. He’s incredible.”

Marissa said, “So, you’ve forgiven him?”

Zyair answered, “Do you think your teacher holds grudges? Your father was amnesic then, so it’s all understandable.”noveldrama

Though she couldn’t see him, Marissa could picture the playful expression on Zyair’s face.

She couldn’t help but smile and said, “What do you think my next step should be?”

Zyair responded, “About what exactly?”
