Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 975

Chapter 975:

After a tense silence, Derek shot back, “Maybe I'm living like a lackey, but how much better are you, really?

Aren’t you leaning on your wife's family just like | am? Would you dare act so high and mighty in front of your

brother-in-law?”

Foley’s smug expression faltered, the words hitting home.

Before Everett's return to the Brock family, Foley had held a certain amount of sway with his father-in-law, Devin

Brock, because Della, Foley's wife, was Devin’s golden child. Devin adored Della, seeing her talent as a source of

great pride for the family.

Devin’s affection for Della far outshone his feelings for his other daughter, Chloe. And because of that love for

Della, he had treated Foley kindly, giving him respect and favors.

However, since Everett's return and takeover of the entire Brock family from Devin, Foley's status had noticeably

slipped.

As Devin grew older and embraced a more leisurely life, he handed over full control of the family to Everett,

retreating into gardening and other hobbies. With Devin stepping into the background, Foley lost his most

valuable support within the family.

Everett, though outwardly calm and mild-mannered, was a master of subtle ruthlessness. Beneath his polite

demeanor, he was cold and calculating, capable of carrying out his most brutal decisions without a hint of

emotion—sometimes even while smiling and engaging in casual conversation.

Those who fell under Everett's harsh hand rarely saw it coming, and afterward, they were left bewildered and

shaken. The only thing that lingered was the ominous, lasting shadow Everett cast over their lives.

Everett was equally cold toward his own family. Though he always spoke softly to his two sisters, Della and

Chloe, Everett had no real affection for them. They tread carefully around him, knowing better than to provoke

him.

If Everett's own sisters didn’t dare to cross him, Foley—being just his brother-in-law—certainly wouldn't.

In fact, despite their limited interactions, Foley had developed a bone-deep fear of Everett. Every the faced

him, he was reduced to a trembling mess, his composure completely shattered—more so than Derek’s when he

was dealing with Aelfric.

Foley’s mockery of Derek was, in part, a way to vent his own frustrations.

Now, stung by Derek's sharp retort, Foley was seething with humiliation and anger. Red-faced, he stormed out of

the hospital room in a huff.

Derek allowed himself a small, satisfied smirk and exited the room as well, expecting they'd part ways without

another word. But to his surprise, Foley was waiting for him just outside the room.
