Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 688:

Keeping her around would only sow chaos within the Peridot Consortium and could spell disaster if the news spread.

Marissa, of course, wasn’t about to explain any of this to Ayla or Sansa.

As she observed them kneeling and pleading for mercy, she took a slow, deliberate breath and prepared to address them.

“Sansa, Ayla, there’s no reason to be alarmed. I’m not one to hold petty grudges,” Marissa said.

Sansa and Ayla exchanged glances. Could the new president really overlook their previous offenses? They were stunned by her good nature.

Kevin, seated next to Marissa, also appeared surprised. His investigations had shown that Marissa deeply resented Sansa and her daughter.

He had orchestrated today’s meeting as an opportunity for Marissa to seek revenge. Why, then, was she not seizing it?

Marissa gave Kevin a brief look, signaling that now was not the time for explanations.noveldrama

Originally, Marissa had intended to embarrass Sansa and Ayla, but that was before she was aware of Ayla’s condition.

Now, with the discovery that Ayla was carrying a novel hybrid virus, Marissa’s priorities had shifted. She needed to monitor Ayla closely, to study the virus she harbored.

Releasing Ayla now could risk a viral outbreak if she lost control—a scenario Marissa wanted to avoid at all costs.

As a doctor, Marissa was committed to understanding this new hybrid virus in Ayla and developing a vaccine to neutralize the threat.

Marissa had also uncovered that Clarissa and Q’s virus research had been conducted very covertly.

Security measures in Blebert were tight, and fearing exposure, they had set up their main research facility abroad. The viruses injected into Ayla were secretly transported from there.

Marissa hadn’t yet pinpointed the location of their overseas research facility, making it essential to keep Ayla close.

Observing Marissa’s steady manner, Kevin refrained from commenting and looked away.

Marissa then addressed Sansa and Ayla again. “Sansa, Ayla, please stand.”

Ayla was still in disbelief, while Sansa was visibly delighted, quickly rising to her feet and eagerly flattering Marissa. “Ah, President, I had no idea you were so forgiving.”

Ayla also stood, saying, “Thank you, Ms. President.”

Marissa simply gave a slight smile and remained silent.

At that moment, Kevin intervened. “Sansa, Ayla, I was told you wanted to recommend two people to the president today?”

Sansa paused, then affirmed, “Yes, that’s right.”

Their original plan was to recommend Sheppard and Wesson to Clarissa. With the unexpected change in presidency, they didn’t know how to proceed with their recommendations
