Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 719:noveldrama

So, Connor kept quiet and followed Burnet into the restaurant.

Inside the private room, Marissa and Arabella were discussing the menu.

When Burnet entered and took a seat at the table, Marissa, looking guilty, asked, “Mr. Hoffman, are you joining us for lunch?”

Burnet nodded, “Yes, Connor invited me. He mentioned it was to apologize on someone’s behalf.”

Connor’s lips twitched. He hadn’t said that, but since Burnet was using him as an excuse, he chose not to argue.

Marissa’s lips also twitched as she resigned herself to Burnet’s presence.

She handed him the menu, “Mr. Hoffman, please take a look and order whatever you’d like.”

Burnet declined the menu and said casually, “Miss Nash, as a doctor, could you order some dishes that won’t aggravate my injuries? Also, I need your help with something.”

Marissa looked at him, puzzled. “Why don’t you ask her yourself?”

Burnet smirked. “I’m afraid she might just deny everything.”

Marissa was momentarily stunned.

At that moment, she finally understood why Burnet had located her so quickly. It was likely that, while she and Silver Fox were discussing their strategy, he had been semi-conscious and overheard their entire conversation.

It felt as though she had been caught red-handed, and Marissa was deeply embarrassed.

She managed an awkward smile and nodded, “Alright, I’ll pass on the message.”

Burnet smiled with satisfaction. “Thank you.”

After a brief pause, Marissa added, “This was a complete misunderstanding. I hope you’ll be understanding, Mr. Hoffman.”

Burnet replied, “I understand. The stray dog intended to bite someone else, and I was the unfortunate victim of mistaken identity. Don’t worry. If she acknowledges her mistake and has a good attitude, I’m quite forgiving.”

Marissa secretly recorded her conversation with Burnet and sent it to Silver Fox.

She added a text message, saying, “The matter has been completely exposed. Handle it as you see fit.”

As soon as Marissa sent the message, Arabella, sitting next to her, asked in confusion, “Sweetie, can you communicate with dogs?”

“What?” Marissa was taken aback. She chuckled and replied, “Just sometimes.”

Before Arabella could respond, Burnet chimed in,

“Arabella, your granddaughter-in-law is truly remarkable. She knows medicine, can paint, fight, and even communicate with stray dogs to plot mischief.”

Arabella didn’t grasp the context or the underlying implications, so she simply said, “I’ve always known my granddaughter-in-law is exceptional. Those who call her plain clearly don’t know her at all.”
