Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 173:

After Sansa was forced to divorce Rex, she returned to her family of origin. Having been absent from public events due to her damaged reputation in high society, her appearance at Melinda and Derek’s engagement party was somewhat expected. Marissa wasn’t shocked to see her there; it was inevitable that Sansa would reenter society at some point. What did surprise her, however, was Ayla’s presence.

The investigation revealed that Ayla wasn’t involved in manufacturing the counterfeit medicine. She was actually duped into buying it on the black market. So, they fined her and let her go.” Understanding the explanation, Marissa put her phone away

Sansa, sensing Marissa’s judgment through her steady gaze, shifted uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact. Her circumstances were dire. After the Nash family disowned her, she and Ayla had no choice but to return to her birth family, where they faced constant mistreatment from her brother and sister-in-law. Desperate for a better life, they clung to Melinda’s kindness, hoping to gain the Warren family’s favor. Ayla, on the other hand, wore her bitterness like armor. She was determined to make
