Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 917:

Gerry’s query left the Nash family members scratching their heads. Tiffany could effortlessly produce over a hundred MindEase Elixirs, which seemed sufficient to affirm her identity as the legendary Riss. Why demand more proof?

If even these MindEase Elixirs couldn’t prove Tiffany was Riss, it seemed overly harsh.

Before Marissa could answer, a family member addressed Gerry, saying, “What more proof do we need? Who else but Riss could produce over a hundred MindEase Elixirs in one go?”

“Exactly,” someone else interjected.

“Tiffany not only healed the family head but also produced over a hundred MindEase Elixirs. Who else but Riss could achieve that?”

“I’m convinced Tiffany is Riss!”

“I’m sure of it too, without any doubt!”

“Anyone who still questions her identity as Riss in light of these facts is clearly just causing trouble.”

As the conversation unfolded, Gerry and his group grew visibly uneasy, wishing they could disappear. In a panic, Crosby pulled on Gerry’s sleeve and said,

“Uncle, what do we do now? Are we really going to accept Tiffany as Riss and let her enjoy all the glory?”

After a moment, Gerry set his face and said, “I still don’t believe she’s Riss. It’s too dramatic a change, as if she’s become someone else entirely. How could she transform from a failure to Riss overnight?”

“But we can’t ignore the facts,” Crosby said.

“She cured Sergio, which shows her medical prowess is outstanding. She took out over a hundred MindEase Elixirs, which supports her claim.”

“What’s to say she didn’t resort to some underhanded tricks?” Gerry replied.

“To verify her identity as Riss, we need to invite someone…”noveldrama

“Who?” Crosby inquired.

“Riss’s top assistant, Mr. Ferris Frazier,” Gerry answered.

“At the last medical conference, Ferris met Tiffany but didn’t acknowledge her as Riss, so her claim must be false.”

Reflecting on that moment at the conference, Crosby found Gerry’s reasoning sound, recalling that Ferris had not recognized Tiffany then.

Though renowned, Ferris was merely Riss’s assistant. In essence, Riss was Ferris’s superior.

When a subordinate encounters their boss, they are expected to show respect and politeness, rather than act as if they do not recognize them.

This behavior led to the belief that Tiffany was masquerading as Riss, orchestrating a complex fraud. The MindEase Elixirs she possessed might have been stolen from Riss’s stock.

Should it be confirmed that these elixirs were pilfered from Riss’s supplies, informing Ferris would almost certainly involve the police, resulting in Tiffany’s arrest and criminal charges.

The MindEase Elixirs were valued at billions, elevating the theft to a monumental crime. The ensuing criminal charges would be harsh, threatening not just Tiffany’s opportunity to vie with Crosby for Nash family leadership, but potentially stripping her of her freedom forever.

Reflecting on this, Gerry and Crosby shared a sinister exchange of looks.

Crosby said, “Tiffany, I respect your skill in healing Uncle Sergio, and I concede defeat in our contest. Your generosity in offering over a hundred MindEase Elixirs also shames me. But—” He abruptly shifted his tone, his voice sharp with accusation.

“These good deeds don’t excuse lying and misleading our entire family!”

“Exactly,” Gerry added.

“Your medical skills and the numerous MindEase Elixirs don’t conclusively establish that you’re Riss. We need a witness.”

Marissa had anticipated Gerry and Crosby’s plan, which was to summon Ferris. She looked forward to seeing them humiliated.

Playing into their narrative, she adopted a look of guilt.

“Uncle Gerry, Crosby, it’s quite late. We really shouldn’t bother Mr. Frazier now…”

Her feigned remorse only deepened Gerry and Crosby’s suspicions.

“Now confirming whether you’re Riss is crucial for the Nash family!” Crosby insisted.

Without hesitation, Gerry pulled out his phone and said, “I’m calling Mr. Frazier right now to discuss this matter…”
