Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 14

Chapter 14:

Marissa stood outside the Palace Hotel, her eyes tracing the lines of the grand structure. It was Blebert’s most prestigious hotel, a place far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Derek’s family had planned a lavish banquet to celebrate his return, a display of their extraordinary status. She had spent years traveling the globe but returned to Blebert a year ago mainly to honor her commitment to marry Derek

She had hoped to keep a low profile, but Derek had irritated her. If she still kept a low profile, it would mean suppressing her anger, and that was not how she operated. Today, she resolved to give Derek a lesson he wouldn’t forget. If she didn’t, there was no telling what extreme or bizarre actions he might take next

With determination, she pulled out her phone and used her hacking abilities to locate Derek. She swiftly determined his exact location—the presidential suite on the hotel’s top floor, known as the most luxurious in Blebert. Locating him was easy, but gaining entry posed a real challenge. The Palace Hotel was a regular venue for wealthy businesspeople, celebrities, and sometimes even international dignitaries and high-profile corporate figures. It was known for its strict security measures

She couldn’t gain entry as a simple country girl, yet she also didn’t want to expose her other identity. She needed to employ a certain tactic. Within ten minutes, Marissa had sneaked into the hotel’s staff lounge, disguised herself in a staff uniform, and merged with a team delivering dishes to the banquet, unnoticed by anyone. Holding a pot of soup, she accompanied the team to a dining room. Just then, she noticed Derek leaving the room, busy talking on his phone as he walked into the restroom

This was her moment. She quietly followed and stood against the wall outside the men’s restroom, waiting for Derek to come out. Now a recognized heir, Derek had abandoned his once humble demeanor. Dressed in a designer suit, he strutted around with a pompous air, speaking in a loud and tacky manner that screamed of new money. Marissa could hear him clearly from outside the restroom, boasting to a former colleague
