Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 969:noveldrama

Aelfric’s face lit up with interest.

“Using her own family to bring her down—now that’s clever. They’re the best ones to reveal the truth. No one would doubt them. Do you know Marissa’s parents and sister?”

“I do,” Chloe replied confidently.

“Good,” Aelfric said, pondering for a moment. Then, he spoke with a calculated smile.

“Here’s what we’ll do…”

Aelfric had been plotting with his allies for what felt like ages, and before he knew it, dawn had crept up on them.

Just as he was about to dismiss the group so they could finally catch some rest, his phone buzzed. It was Gerry on the line, and from the sound of his shaky voice, something big was going on.

“Aelfric, some… something major has happened!” Gerry blurted out, his voice a mix of excitement and anxiety.

Aelfric’s face darkened instantly.

“What happened? Calm down and speak clearly,” he demanded, irritation creeping into his voice.

The others, who had been about to leave, froze in place, their ears pricking up as they listened in on the call.

Gerry’s breathing was uneven as he swallowed hard.

“I can’t… I can’t calm down, Aelfric. This… this is big news. Too big! I… I feel like I’m buzzing with both excitement and nerves.”

Aelfric pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. He wanted to shake Gerry out of his frenzy but knew he couldn’t. He took a deep breath and said firmly, “Just get to the point, Gerry.”

“Okay, okay,” Gerry said, his nerves barely under control.

“Sergio just dropped a bombshell on the family. He announced that Brian is returning to the Nash family. Today.”

“Who?” Aelfric’s eyes narrowed in disbelief, his frown deepening. The others, overhearing Brian’s name, looked just as shocked, wide-eyed as if they had misheard.

Brian Nash—his name had once echoed throughout Blebert. People still talked about him sometimes.

But in everyone’s mind, Brian had been dead and gone for 22 years. Now, out of nowhere, word was spreading that he was set to return. The shock of it hit hard, and there wasn’t much time to wrap their heads around it.

Gerry’s voice was still shaky.

“Aelfric, trust me. You didn’t mishear. It’s Brian, the same Brian who vanished twenty-two years ago. He’s coming back today.”

Aelfric, who had been lying on the bed, suddenly shot up, sitting bolt upright.

“Gerry, are you out of your mind? Are you seriously telling me Brian is coming back today?”
