Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 931:

Landen leaned back, a smirk creeping onto his face as he shot a disdainful glance at Gerry and Crosby, eager to mock them further and teach them a hard lesson. However, Marissa raised her hand slightly to stop him.

Landen fell silent, puzzled by her unexpected restraint. Given her past behavior, he expected her to take the chance to strike hard, leaving no room for her opponents to recover.

At that moment, Marissa couldn’t explain herself to Landen; she did this for her father, Brian.

Earlier, while she and Brian discussed the troubles the Nash family was facing, Marissa had brought up Sansa and her daughter being expelled, along with Rex’s daily kneeling on dog poop. Brian had said nothing, but she felt the deep sadness in him.

He cherished family connections and wanted every member to thrive under his care. The thought of the family splitting apart or suffering was unbearable to him.noveldrama

That was why today Marissa didn’t want to push Gerry and Crosby too far. Mistakes should be addressed, but there was no need to be harsh; they were family, after all.

Turning her attention to Gerry and Crosby, she said, “Uncle Gerry, Crosby, every country has its laws, and every family has its own rules.”

You know the trouble you caused. Landen and I made a bet with you today to teach you a lesson, hoping you’ll take this as a warning for what lies ahead.

As a member of the Nash family, I truly want every one of you to do well. I don’t want to see you fall into despair, but you need to face the consequences of your actions. If you decide to leave the Nash family, I won’t stop you.

You can take all the wealth you’ve built up, and neither Landen nor I will question a single cent.

She paused for a moment, letting her words sink in.

“But if you choose to stay, you’ll need to join Rex and kneel on dog poop for two hours every day. When this penance will end depends on how things develop.

As long as you remain part of the Nash family, you’ll receive the same benefits as everyone else. Your annual dividends will not change, and you’ll also have a share of the MindEase Elixirs.”

While she spoke, Marissa gently patted the box in her hand, highlighting its significance.

Gerry and Crosby stared at the box, their eyes filled with a mix of hope and unease.

Who wouldn’t want a MindEase Elixir?

In the past, Gerry and Crosby could only stand by, green with envy, as Balthasar savored each bit.

They never imagined they’d get a taste of the magic themselves. Now that Marissa had decided to gift the elusive formula to Landen and let their family’s company produce it, they knew they could buy some in the future.

But they were also well aware that it wouldn’t come cheap.
