Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 971:

At last, he looked at Neil and said, “I haven’t met Brian yet, so I can’t make a solid judgment. However, I can feel a big change coming to Blebert. We can’t overlook the Nash family anymore. We need to stay sharp.”

Neil pursed his lips in displeasure.

For decades, the top four families had ruled Blebert. Neil had always dreamed of toppling them all and bringing the numerous smaller families under his control. If the Nash family were to rise, wouldn’t that push his dreams even further out of reach?

Of course, he kept this ambition hidden. If Aelfric caught wind of it, Neil knew he could be in serious trouble.

Chloe struggled against the reality of the situation. She had never regarded the Nash family with any seriousness, always positioning Tiffany as a mere accessory to amplify her own brilliance among the elite. To her, Tiffany was simply a pawn in a larger game.

The idea of Tiffany’s family gaining power and influence filled Chloe with dread. She couldn’t tolerate it. Her resentment had already grown since she discovered that Tiffany might be the celebrated doctor, Riss.

So, Chloe voiced her doubts, saying, “Aelfric, are you sure you’re not overthinking this? If Brian truly became someone important, how could he have stayed away from Blebert for so long? How could he have ignored his wife and daughter all these years?”

Aelfric responded, “I don’t know the reasons for that, and I won’t speculate.” He met her gaze earnestly.

“But I trust my instincts. We’ll have to see Brian for ourselves to understand.”

Then, Aelfric said to Gerry on the other end of the phone, “Gerry, I have to remind you: if Brian shows up at the Nash family’s doorstep with a formidable identity, your life could take a turn for the worse.”

Gerry gulped, a wave of unease washing over him. He shook with fear, struggling to find his words.noveldrama

Aelfric’s warning lingered in his thoughts. Over the years, he had picked on Tiffany. Now that Brian was returning, he couldn’t help but wonder how far Brian might go to make him pay.

Brian had always been a force to be reckoned with. Despite his calm demeanor and friendly smile, he had no mercy for those who crossed him.

After a heavy pause, Gerry managed to stammer, “Aelfric, my… my son and I are ready to follow you for as long as you’ll have us. Please, let us stay safe under your protection.”

Aelfric beamed with satisfaction, a sly smile curling his lips. He had intended to rattle Gerry with his words, ensuring his loyalty remained with him. And he succeeded.
