Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 515:

Silver Fox pondered for a while before speaking up. “Black Snake, I came across a betrothal contract at King’s. Your name was on it, suggesting it was your betrothal.”

Marissa’s brow furrowed in confusion. “What do you mean by King having my betrothal contract?”

Seeing Marissa’s puzzled expression, Silver Fox added, “Baffled, right? So was I when I stumbled upon that paper. I only got a glance while at King’s for a meeting; I didn’t scrutinize it or anything. I have no idea where that contract came from or who penned it.

But your name was definitely on it. I didn’t catch the name of the guy you were supposedly engaged to, though.”

Marissa rolled her eyes, dismissing the matter entirely. She had spent her whole childhood in Adagend, living as an insignificant village girl until she turned fifteen. Then she followed King to the Doomsday Base and made a name for herself. Yet, no one connected her to that village girl from her past.

Before returning to Blebert, she hadn’t even known about her family’s elders. Who could have arranged an engagement for her? Even if King wanted to orchestrate her marriage, he would need her approval. King had no right to decide her future partner.

Deciding to brush off the matter, Marissa preferred not to dwell on it or have Silver Fox overthink it. “So, whatever you saw, it’s nonsense. You know how Old Peacock loves to stir the pot. He probably concocted that contract out of sheer boredom. Don’t waste your energy on it.”
