NovelFinishChapter 678: Since they both knew who the other was, Marissa saw no reason for pretense and greeted him directly, "A pleasure to meet you." Kevin offered a subtle smile and replied, "Pleased to meet you." He then proceeded toward the elevator, accompanied by his entourage.
After Kevin and his entourage ascended in the elevator, Marissa's smile returned. Kevin's perceptiveness was evident; noting her mask and plain attire, which signaled her desire to keep her identity concealed, he chose to feign ignorance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the wake of Kevin's authoritative presence, Sansa and Ayla were rendered docile, losing all inclination to provoke Marissa.
At that moment, the doors of the other elevator opened, and Xander emerged with urgency. He scanned the area briefly, quickly spotting Marissa and making his way toward her.
Sansa and Ayla, recognizing Xander as the vice president of the Peridot Consortium, greeted him with respect, "Good morning, Mr. Hallman.” Sheppard and Wesson, also aware of Xander's position, promptly nodded and bowed.

If she knows him, could she have ties to the Peridot Consortium's upper echelons? Did we possibly offend someone of significance?" Wesson also looked uneasy. With the Clifford family already at odds with Remy and trying to align themselves with the Peridot Consortium, offending a key figure within the organization could be disastrous.
"What are you so worried about?" Sansa snorted arrogantly.

Sansa still proudly boasted about her daughter being highly regarded by the president. Meanwhile, Ayla's brows furrowed thoughtfully.
She couldn't understand why the Peridot Consortium suddenly had an acting president and the lack of any heads-up about it was gnawing at her.
Clarissa had always been a control freak, keeping power tightly inhen grip. Now, with Someone else stepping in, what was Clarissa up to?
