Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 715:

Burnet had shed his usual aloof and domineering CEO demeanor. He appeared as a wounded man, having swapped his customary black suit for simple casual clothes, with a thick bandage wrapped around his head.

Marissa vividly remembered that last night, Silver Fox had struck Burnet’s head, causing a gash that, based on her medical expertise, required at least ten stitches. The thick bandage was likely covering that wound.

Aside from the bandage, Burnet’s face was bruised and swollen, with a woman’s faint fingerprints still visible.

Marissa sighed silently.

Encountering Silver Fox had been truly unfortunate for him.

On the first day they met, Silver Fox swindled Burnet out of eighty million dollars. The next day, she took a secondary card from him.

By the third day, he had been brutally beaten by her. Could Silver Fox be the misfortune that plagued Burnet’s life?

As Marissa looked at Burnet with his head wrapped in a bandage, she was at a loss for words.

Burnet, however, displayed no hint of sadness or anger. Instead, he seemed relaxed and even greeted Connor and Marissa with a cheerful smile.

Connor, surprised, was about to ask what Burnet had endured to end up in such a condition. But upon noticing the faint traces of a woman’s fingerprints on Burnet’s face, he wisely decided to stay silent.

Burnet had been beaten by a woman.

For someone like Burnet, it was hard to believe that a woman could get so close to him. Even if he was drunk, he would be able to defend himself, and it was unlikely that he could be so severely beaten by a woman.

But Burnet had indeed been beaten by a woman, which suggested only one thing: he had allowed it to happen willingly.noveldrama

Connor was intrigued. For someone as reserved and distant as Burnet, what woman could make him so compliant?

While Connor was deep in thought, he quickly stepped forward and scrutinized Burnet.

Connor and Burnet had been close friends for years, and a single glance was enough for Connor to understand the situation and wisely refrain from asking questions.

Arabella, however, did not know Burnet as well. At ninety years old, she couldn’t grasp the complex reasons behind his condition. After examining Burnet’s sorry state, she asked in surprise, “Burnet, what happened to you?”

Burnet greeted her politely, “Arabella, it’s been a long time.”

Then, touching the wounds on his face, he explained with a smile, “Nothing serious. I was bitten by a stray dog last night.”

Connor and Marissa both suppressed their reactions.

Arabella, however, seemed to believe Burnet and scrutinized him further before she asked, “Where did you encounter such a fierce stray dog? I’ve heard from Connor that you’re quite skilled in fighting. How could a stray dog bite you like this?”
