Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 760:

Marc and Terry invariably found themselves overwhelmed by Rita’s formidable rhetoric. They faced her in numerous talks, and each time, her barrage of words left them not only defeated but also humiliated.

Rita’s mind seemed endlessly stocked with information; she could argue as though she were drafting a thesis. Her ability to speak voluminously and persuasively was such that no matter whether her points were logical or not, she always overwhelmed her opponents into submission.

Since her arrival at Daniels Manor, Rita had dominated every conversation. She left some speechless and others emotionally shattered. The household had quickly learned to avoid engaging with her, sidestepping conversations for fear of becoming her next verbal victim.

At this moment, even though Rita was defending Marc and Terry, they were too apprehensive to hear her speak. Both men simultaneously patted her on the shoulder to halt her words before she could begin.

“Rita,” Marc said with strained politeness, “thank you for your support today, but please, it’s better if you don’t speak.”

“That’s right. Just don’t talk,” Terry chimed in, mirroring Marc’s sentiment.

Your new favorite is gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․cօm

Rita, taken aback but undeterred, protested, “Why shouldn’t I speak? What I’m saying is correct. You haven’t done anything wrong. How could Mr. Daniels kick you? Even if he is the boss, he must respect human rights!”

Marc quickly explained, “It’s not like that. We actually did make a mistake. Mr. Daniels had a valid reason for his actions.”

Terry added, “And really, Mr. Daniels didn’t use much force. It wasn’t a big deal to us.”

Rita, her face impassive, shot back sharply, “Are you both considering yourselves as slaves?”

The question made Marc and Terry wince. Each thought silently that Rita’s lack of empathy made her almost inhuman.

In truth, Marc and Terry had always shared a close bond with Connor, who treated them well. The occasional punishment was merely their concept; Rita seemed unable to grasp the complexities of their camaraderie.

So, with a reassuring smile, Marc told her, “Rita, don’t worry about our relationship with Mr. Daniels. He’s never treated us poorly. We don’t harbor any ill feelings towards him. Just get in the car, okay?”

Rita hesitated, prompting Terry to add with a hint of patience, “It’s hard for someone outside to understand the dynamics of men’s bonds. Please, don’t worry about it.”

Rita, taken aback by their dismissal, retorted sharply, “You are so ungrateful.” With that, she climbed into the passenger seat in a huff.

Marc and Terry exchanged a look of relief and quickly got into the third row of the car.

As Domenic started the engine, Rita couldn’t resist one last jab, turning to look back at Connor. “Mr. Daniels, I didn’t get a chance to lecture you on the law just now. Allow me to enlighten you…”

Connor’s expression contorted into a pained smile as he turned to Marissa. “Mrs. Daniels, could you please tell her to stop?”

Marissa, aware of Rita’s tendency to nag, couldn’t suppress a chuckle. “Rita, enough,” she said firmly.

Rita, about to launch into a lengthy diatribe, halted at Marissa’s command. “Okay, boss!”

Connor, Marc, and Terry exhaled in unison, relieved at the interruption.

Marissa then added sternly, “Rita, from now on, please mind your own business.”

Rita responded, subdued yet respectful, “Yes, boss.”

The silence was palpable after Rita ceased speaking, leaving the family to return to Daniels Manor in a quietly content state.

Meanwhile, at a presidential suite of the Palace Hotel, Silver Fox wrestled with indecision. She was uncertain about visiting Burnet in the hospital, debating the timing of her visit and what she would say once she saw him.

After much internal debate, she decided to seek guidance and sent a late-night message to Marissa. “Black Snake, I need your advice. Should I go see Burnet at the hospital?”

Marissa’s response was noncommittal. “It’s entirely your decision.”

Unsatisfied, Silver Fox pressed further. “And how should I address the issue between us when I see him?”

Again, Marissa replied indifferently, “Do as you think best.”

Frustrated by the lack of concrete advice, Silver Fox felt both irritated and helpless. Resolving to address the issue head-on, she decided to visit Burnet immediately, even if it was in the middle of the night. She was convinced that despite their issues, he wouldn’t harm her.

With her mind made up, Silver Fox stepped out of the hotel.
