Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 696:

She then put on a sarcastic smile and said to Sheppard, “You’re mistaken. I’m not your mother. Why should I be responsible for correcting you? My reason for beating you isn’t what you think.”

Sheppard looked at her, puzzled and anxious, “Please tell me your reason.”

“I’ll give you the real reason,” Marissa said. “It was because you threatened the Sanchez family, and I have a friend whose mother is a Sanchez.”

The president’s friend’s mother was from the Sanchez family?

Sheppard stared at Marissa, shocked and speechless.

He was in disbelief. To him, the Sanchez family were all failures. How could they possibly have a connection with the new president of the Peridot Consortium?

Wesson, still on the floor, shook more intensely as he realized that their meeting with the president wasn’t due to a recommendation from Sansa and Ayla but was a setup for retribution.

Understanding the gravity of their situation, he shut his eyes in despair, resigned to his fate.

Seeing the astonished faces in front of her, Marissa asked, “Do you know who my friend is? She’s your worst enemy, the one you despise. Her name is Tiffany.”

Her words were so daunting that Sheppard passed out from fright.

Sansa and Ayla knelt on the floor, overwhelmed with shock and fear.

Previously, they had sacrificed their freedom and dignity, and even Ayla’s health, to ingratiate themselves with Clarissa—all to harness the influence of the Peridot Consortium for revenge against Tiffany, the Sanchez family, and the Nash family.

Yet, their plans for revenge had failed. The new president of the Peridot Consortium turned out to be a close friend of Tiffany’s. What they had relied upon had suddenly become a menacing threat looming over them.

The mother and daughter felt utterly hopeless. It seemed like every time they found a glimmer of hope, it plunged them back into despair.
