Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1117:

“You can marry Derek, Melinda.” Aelfric turned to his sister.

For a moment, Melinda thought she had misheard. Wasn’t he just so adamant about offering her to Lambert only moments ago? Why did he suddenly mention Derek?noveldrama

“Are you serious, Aelfric? You’re really not going to offer me to Lambert?”

“I am serious. You like Derek, don’t you? So, you’ll marry him,” Aelfric said, his expression stern. “You saw what happened. Our family is now under the control of a powerful organization. We have no other choice.”

Melinda didn’t care about what being under the control of a shady organization meant for the future of her family. All she knew was that she could now marry the man she loved. A smile spread across her face as she chirped, “When will the wedding be?”

“I’ll talk to his family tomorrow,” Aelfric replied.

Melinda’s smile faltered, and confusion clouded her features. “But aren’t his parents being confined by Connor? How will you talk to them?”

“You don’t need to worry about that. Just prepare for the wedding,” Aelfric said, his expression cold. “But your marriage won’t just be about romance. I need you to get information about Dr. Finley’s whereabouts from Derek. Do you understand?”

Though still confused, Melinda nodded.

“Any family secrets you uncover, I want you to report them all to me,” Aelfric added, his eyes narrowing with disdain. “I plan to use Derek to destroy the Daniels family and elevate ours to the pinnacle of Blebert’s elite society.”

This had always been his ultimate ambition—raising his family’s status. What had once felt like an impossible dream now seemed within reach, thanks to the backing of the shady organization. It was this newfound confidence that drove him to arrange his sister’s marriage to Derek.

One day, Connor would be crushed into oblivion, and Aelfric would seize control of all the elite families in Blebert.

But that wouldn’t be the end. Aelfric was determined to take over Doomsday Base and claim the power and influence of Paul and Lambert.

Having already sold his soul to the shady organization, he figured he might as well claim the greatest rewards it could offer.

Melinda couldn’t comprehend the extent of Aelfric’s ambitions, but as long as she could marry Derek, she was willing to agree to any conditions. “I’ll do whatever you need me to do, Aelfric.”

In the basement of Daniels Manor, Lorna dabbed at her tear-streaked cheeks. “I can’t take this anymore! Why are we locked up in this basement like prisoners? How long are we going to endure this hell? This is so humiliating! Oh my God!”

Neil paced the dimly lit basement, muttering to himself, “Connor, since you don’t respect me as your eldest brother, you can’t blame me for being ruthless.”

He had made up his mind to take down Connor and seize control of the entire family once he was out of this hell. He would contact that mysterious person to seek his help, no matter the cost. He would eliminate Connor and take control of the entire Daniels family. Once he had control of the Daniels family, taking over the other elite families in Blebert would be a breeze.

Gaining resolve, Neil stopped pacing. He glanced at his crying wife and scolded her, “For Christ’s sake, Lorna! Stop crying! Your tears are useless!”

Lorna shuddered and immediately fell silent, too fearful to make another sound.

Neil’s sharp gaze flicked to Derek, and he sighed. This son of his was equally useless.
