Chapter 925: "Chat, did you call her? Boss?" The shock rippled through the Nash family, disbelief etching their faces. They had toyed with the idea before but never truly allowed themselves to believe it. Now, faced with reality, they were utterly bewildered, unsure of how to proceed.
Gerry's and Crosby's shock was the most palpable. They had scoffed at Marissa when she had boldly claimed to be the brilliant Dr. Riss, dismissing her as nothing more than an impostor and a laughingstock. Yet, the tables had turned tically, and the irony was not lost on them.
They had confidently reported Marissa allegedly stealing MindEase Elixirs from Dr. Riss's team and for impersonating Riss herself. They had even gone to the extent of inviting Ferris over, anticipating Marissa's arrest. However, in an unexpected twist, Ferris had arrived not to apprehend Marissa but to deliver MindEase Elixirs to his boss.
The blow to their pride was as if they had been physically struck. The embarrassment they felt was overwhelming.

With the truth now out in the open, how could they still vie for leadership of the Nash family? In the realm of medicine, who could surpass her? Not to mention, the leader of the Nash family-if she were to becthe leader of the entire medical community-no objection would be made.
They had once dreamed about establishing a connection with Dr. Riss, hoping to benefit from the support of her team. However, they had accidentally ended up completely offending her.
The potential for her to harbor a grudge—and thereby obliterate their professional standing-sent shivers down Gerry's and Crosby's spines. The mere thought of such a possibility left them quaking with anxiety.
Crosby, his hands trembling, leaned in and whispered to Gerry, "Dad, what do we do now? Tiffany is really Dr. Riss." Gerry's anxiety was palpable. In his extrdistress, he blurted out, "Mr. Frazier, are you sure? Are you drunk? Are you thinking clearly? How could someone as useless as Tiffany be Dr. Riss?" Ferris looked at Gerry with a hint of mockery and shot back, "You really think I'd confuse my own boss?" Gerry faltered, struggling to find his words.
"No, that's not what I meant. It's just that Tiffany, as the failure of the Nash family, how could she possibly be Dr. Riss?" Ferris responded with unwavering calm, "She managed to excel despite everything. All I know is she's my boss, Dr. Riss." With that, Ferris handed the medicine box to Marissa again. She accepted it, flipping the lid open to reveal a stash of MindEase Elixirs.
It was a sight none of the Nash family had ever expected to witness-so many prized elixirs, just lying there as if they were giveaways. They stood there, gaping, as if they were in a dream.
Marissa seemed to be making good on her promise to distribute a MindEase Elixir to each member of the Nash family. They all watched with bated breath, eyes wide with anticipation.
Gerry and Crosby were different; their eyes were locked on the pills, unblinking. They also desired to possess one of these legendary pills-badly. However, with Marissa now offering the pills for free, every Nash family member could obtain one, except for them. Crosby sank into a deep depression.
Out of nowhere, Gerry erupted in anger. Jabbing his finger toward Marissa, he bellowed, "Tiffany, you deceitful snake! You're Dr. Riss? Why have you concealed this from us for so long? Why did you stand by and watch the Nash family decline without lifting a finger?" Marissa met his gaze with a serene expression, her voice steady.

"It's my right to be involved in your affairs!" Marissa's laugh was short and devoid of humor.
"Perhaps before today, you could claim that right based on your m seniority But now, that right is no longer yours." "Is it not?" Gerry demanded, his frustration mounting.
Marissa chose to remain silent this time. It was Landen who confronted him, his tone accusatory.
"You've forgotten already, Uncle Gerry? We placed a bet jus moments ago, and you've lost it entirely.”
Now, Gerry and Crosby faced two grim choices—either spend twom hours daily kneeling òn dog poop or face expulsion from the Nash family.
