Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 290:

The sudden noise caused all four men upstairs to shudder simultaneously. With a deep frown, Connor quickly walked through the floor-to-ceiling window onto the balcony and looked down. Domenic, Marc, and Terry followed suit, rushing to the balcony to see what was happening below. They saw Marissa moving a rockery stone and searching through the green plants in the yard, apparently looking for something. Domenic, Marc, and Terry were too stunned to speak. Connor felt puzzled too.

The bedroom door on the second floor had been closed, yet Marissa had appeared in the yard on the ground floor. It seemed she must have jumped. Connor wondered where she could have jumped from. What had caused that initial loud noise? All four men simultaneously considered this, scanning their surroundings for clues about the source of the noise.

Suddenly, Terry pointed downstairs. “Mr. Daniels, look there.” Following Terry’s pointing, Connor spotted a shattered sofa on the ground below. It had previously been in the bedroom. What did it mean? It indicated that Marissa had thrown it out. The initial loud crash occurred when the sofa hit the ground with force.

Terry exhaled deeply and said, “It’s clear why Black Snake is called the mercenary queen. Wow. She’s incredibly strong. A normal woman, even with nine others to help, couldn’t even lift it, much less throw it.” Terry voiced what everyone was thinking. However, Marissa’s physical prowess was not what they should focus on now; rather, it was her sudden, mysterious behavior. She appeared to be under some sort of spell.
