Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 916



Chapter 916:

Crosby was an average man whose frequent outings to nightclubs had taken a toll on his health. Challenging Landen, a former member of the Black Snake’s group, was a clear invitation for trouble.

Landen could eliminate Crosby as effortlessly as stepping on an insect.

Marissa knew this well, but the moment Crosby acted, she immediately stepped in to intervene for Landen.

Without hesitation, Marissa took a silver needle from the medicine kit, flicked her wrist, and sent the needle straight into Crosby’s leg.

“Aaah!” Crosby yelped and collapsed onto the floor, clutching his leg in agony.

Landen, who had prepared to strike back at Crosby, was stunned. He glanced at Marissa, puzzled. Landen thought he could easily handle someone as weak as Crosby without needing to rely on his former help.

Understanding Landen’s expression, Marissa calmly remarked, “He’s not worth your time, especially since you are the future leader of the family.”

Landen instantly grasped Marissa’s protective gesture.

Given that he was currently being doubted by the whole clan due to his poor competition results, Marissa worried he might injure Crosby and provoke Gerry, further complicating the situation.

Landen hadn’t anticipated Marissa still wanting him to be the future family head. After realizing Marissa was Riss, the renowned doctor, he had considered stepping aside for her to take the position.

Was this her way of telling him she had no interest in leading the Nash family?

Landen felt a pang of disappointment. He genuinely hoped Marissa would assume control of the family, allowing him to remain by her side as a loyal supporter.

That way, he could admire her every day.

Still, Landen understood why Marissa refused. She had a higher calling, and the small Nash family wasn’t worthy of draining her energy.

Realizing her intentions, Landen nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Crosby, writhing in pain, felt utterly humiliated. Losing to Marissa in a medicine competition was bad enough, but being forced to kneel before the entire family was a deeper disgrace.

Gritting his teeth, Crosby shouted at Marissa in anger, “Tiffany! Do you think that just because you’re a skilled doctor and close to Riss, you can go around attacking your own relatives?”

Gerry, furious, yelled, “Tiffany, I’m your uncle! How could you harm my son in front of me? Where’s your respect?”

“You’re contradicting yourself,” Marissa replied with a cold laugh.

“Your son just tried to assault the future family leader in front of the current leader and the elders. Yet instead of reprimanding him, you criticize me for stopping it?”

“Exactly!” Landen chimed in.

“Uncle Gerry, you’re the one who’s out of line. Your son is the one who lacks manners.”

“You—” Gerry’s face turned red with embarrassment as he struggled to find words.

At that moment, Crosby, still in pain, pulled the silver needle from his leg and angrily shouted, “How can you still consider Landen the future family leader when he lacks the skills to deserve it?”

“He’s qualified because I say so,” Marissa replied coolly.

“And what gives you the right to say that?”

Crosby retorted.

“This.” Marissa gestured toward the box filled with MindEase Elixirs.

“Uncle Gerry, you’ve been wondering about my connection to Riss, right? Well, here’s the answer: I am Riss.”noveldrama

Before Gerry could respond, the entire Nash family erupted into murmurs.

“I had a feeling Tiffany was Dr. Riss. Everything makes sense now. My suspicions were spot on.”

“No way! Tiffany is actually Riss, the legendary doctor known throughout the medical world! With her at the helm, our family is going to rise again!”

“I still remember when Brian led the Nash family to greatness in the medical field. If I could see us return to that glory before I die, I’d be content.”

“Same here. I fully support Tiffany as our leader!”

“Me too. If Tiffany is indeed Riss, she is undoubtedly the most qualified among the Nash family’s younger generation to lead the family. There’s no question about it.”

“We had to thank Brian for his remarkable leadership once. Even though he’s gone, he left us a remarkable daughter. His contributions to the family are unmatched.”

As the voices of approval swelled, Gerry and Crosby stood in silence, their faces flushed with humiliation. After a long pause, Gerry finally asked, “Tiffany, what proof do you have to support your claim that you’re Riss?”
