Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1177: (END)

The bodyguards wasted no time, grabbing Ernst and dragging him out. Fear rendered him speechless, his bravado vanishing in an instant.

Emilee had rushed over, itching for a confrontation, but when she witnessed Ernst’s swift downfall, her courage evaporated. Her legs turned to jelly, and she thought about slipping away unnoticed, but Silver Fox’s sharp gaze landed on her. With a cold smirk, she said, “Emilee, listen up. In just a couple of days, Minty Fragrances and Perfumes will completely take over Hinks Perfumes. Your family might want to start preparing—bankruptcy is coming for you.”

Emilee trembled, her face draining of color. She looked at Silver Fox with pleading eyes. “But… we’re family.”noveldrama

Silver Fox let out a cold, mirthless laugh.

Burnet merely flicked his fingers, and the bodyguards swiftly escorted Emilee out, leaving no room for protest.

With the nuisances handled, Burnet turned to Silver Fox with an amused glint in his eye. “So, babe, how’d I do?”

Silver Fox’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. “Darling, you were perfect.” From the sidelines, Xander, who had been enjoying the show, groaned, “You two are unbearable. Watching you be all lovey-dovey is torture for us single folks!”

Burnet shot him a look. “Then find yourself a wife.”

Xander shrugged with a smirk. “Nah, I’m good. You’re the one who needs to keep the Hoffman legacy going, not me.”

With that, he strolled off, already dialing Marissa to vent his grievances. Marissa, who had been keeping tabs on Silver Fox’s situation, listened to Xander’s update with a smile.

It felt good knowing Silver Fox had finally achieved what she set out to do—taking back her mother’s legacy and bringing down Hinks Perfumes. Now, she could finally turn the page.

Just as she ended the call, Marissa heard Connor chuckle beside her. She turned, puzzled.

“What’s so funny?”

Connor held up his phone, eyes gleaming. “Kristine finally replied to my text.”

Marissa had already heard from Connor about Kristine’s objection to Connor marrying the heir to the King of Doomsday Base. Connor had sent an apology, and Marissa had sought insight from her teacher, Zyair, to figure out what had truly upset Kristine.

Zyair told her an incredibly dramatic love tale.

Years ago, he and Kristine trained under the same martial arts master, and somewhere between the sparring sessions and stolen glances, they fell head over heels for each other. But misunderstandings drove a wedge between them, and their stubborn pride kept them apart—neither willing to take the first step toward reconciliation. Despite their hearts still belonging to one another, they chose solitude over surrender, refusing to date anyone else.

Over time, Kristine’s love soured into resentment, and she nursed a grudge against Zyair for years.

Meanwhile, as the seasons passed, Zyair found himself weighed down by regret. He longed to make amends, to turn back time and reclaim what they had lost. But Kristine had vanished without a trace, leaving him to chase shadows. His globetrotting adventures—supposedly for wine and fashion—were nothing more than a desperate search for her.

Marissa relayed this tale to Connor, who, despite having no clue where Kristine was, decided to take a shot in the dark. He sent her an email, letting her know that Zyair was searching for her.

Days passed without a word, and just when Connor thought his message had been ignored, Kristine finally responded. Bracing himself for an earful, he was instead met with a surprise—a handful of photos and a warm congratulatory note.

The pictures showed Kristine and Zyair on a sun-drenched beach, looking every bit like a couple who had never been apart.

It turned out that Kristine had harbored regrets of her own but had been too proud to reach out. Connor’s email, however, became the nudge she needed to set her pride aside. She found Zyair, and just like that, their love story got a second chance.

Marissa and Connor couldn’t help but find the whole situation both hilarious and heartwarming.

In her email, Kristine left them with a heartfelt message: “Connor, Marissa, I wish you both all the happiness in the world. Love each other deeply and build a beautiful life together. Don’t make the same mistakes we did—don’t waste precious time.”

Reading those words, Connor pulled Marissa into a tight embrace.

Whatever lingering doubts he had melted away. All that truly mattered was loving Marissa and their children wholeheartedly, cherishing every moment they had together.

And with that, the road ahead looked brighter than ever.
