Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 669:

In this situation, she genuinely couldn’t assist Silver Fox. After all, Silver Fox’s actions had been reckless. As a prominent figure, it was understandable for Burnet to seek retribution if he had been unjustly attacked.

Burnet posed a direct threat to Silver Fox’s life, and Marissa had no means to intervene; she could only observe the outcome.

Shaking her head in resignation, Marissa entered the villa.

Connor was already up, reading the newspaper on the sofa in the living room. Domenic, Marc, and Terry stood by, prepared for their duties, awaiting instructions from their boss.

Domenic, Marc, and Terry were stunned. After Marissa disappeared into the dining room, they looked back at Connor, trying to discern why she thought he was indecent.

Connor was just as baffled. He often teased Marissa, but that morning, he had been solely concerned about her. Why, then, would she publicly accuse him?
