NovelEnglishChapter 924: Excitement filled everyone at the news of Ferris's arrival. In the medical field, Dr. Riss was a legend. Naturally, her right-hand man, Ferris, was also a big deal.
As Gerry hurried out to welcFerris, the rest of the Nash family instinctively wanted to follow. Yet, out of respect for Balthasar, they held back, knowing it wasn't their place to act before Balthasar took the lead. Everyone's eyes naturally turned to Balthasar. Catching their gazes, Balthasar glanced at Marissa, who showed no sign of panic or anxiety.
With that, all eyes turned to Marissa, who appeared calm and composed. If she were lying, she should have been nervous and anxious, yet she wasn't. But then, why had a flicker of unease crossed her face earlier, when Gerry was adamant about contacting Ferris and reporting her deceit? Crosby, also noticing Marissa's reaction, quickly dismissed the confusion from his mind. He had no tto overanalyze her behavior, not when the truth was almost within reach. With urgent steps, he followed his father outside to greet Ferris.
Landen shot a smirk in their direction and said to Marissa, "I'll go and greet Mr. Frazier." Every journey starts at galηov☐☐sEven though he was Riss's disciple and cousin, he still had to pay respect to Ferris, who was his senior. Marissa nodded, letting Landen go.

Crosby appeared behind him, chiming in with a smile mirroring his father's, "Welcome, Mr. Frazier!" Ferris only replied with a slight nod their way, his expression unreadable.
Landen also cout, approaching Ferris with a smile, "Great to see you, Mr. Frazier. Please cin," he said, politely gesturing toward the villa.
Ferris also just nodded at him and walked in, with Gerry chattering beside him and trying to engage him in a conversation.
Behind the two, Landen and Crosby exchanged eye-rolls. As they walked back into the villa, Crosby couldn't help but throw a jab at Landen.
"Why do you look happy to see Mr. Frazier? Once he confirms Tiffany is a fraud and reports her to the police, you'll kiss your precious status as heir to the family leader goodbye. Bet you won't be grinning then, huh?" Landen shot back sharply in a low voice, “Idiot." He hurried ahead, not wasting another second on Crosby's foolishness. Offended, Crosby caught up to him, asking, "Did you just callthat?" Landen shot him a glance, as if he were the biggest fool alive, and smirked.
"Just a heads-up-better have stissues on hand for when you break down later. I doubt your sleeves will handle all those tears." With that, he turned on his heel and continued ahead, leaving Crosby seething behind him.
Crosby clenched his fists, his face twisting in rage as his gaze drilled a hole into Landen's retreating back. Inside, Ferris scanned everyone in the room before locking eyes with Balthasar.
"Good evening, Mr. Nash," he greeted politely.
Balthasar raised his hand slightly, gesturing for a seat.
"Mr. Frazier, please have a seat." But Ferris remained standing, his gaze fixed in a direct line toward Balthasar. His demeanor was calm yet impassive.

"Thank you for taking the tto chere. As I've reported, Tiffany here has stolen boxes of MindEase Elixirs from your team. Not only that, she claimed to be Dr. Riss herself. She has committed two grave offenses: burglary and identity theft. You are free to call the police on her. Our family won't interfere to protect her."
A tense silence fell in the room following Gerry's words. Everyone nervously shifted their gazes between Ferris and Marissa, 6m apprehensive about how the situation would pan out.
reyou Crosby, now more furious than ever, clamored, "What are you waiting for, Mr. Frazier? Con! Call the police. Those boxes of MindEase Elixirs are already solid proof of her crimes!" Ignoring their insistence, Ferris calmly walked over to Marissa and handed her a box.
"Here's the MindEase Elixirs you requested, boss."
