?Chapter 427:
“Why not?” Connor asked, puzzled.
“You’re too noble, Mr. Daniels. But I’m just an ordinary person who likes to make money,” Marissa replied casually. “People like me find Derek’s ideas more appealing.”
While speaking, she sent a message to Joziah: “Windsoul Robots doesn’t need to discuss partnerships with otherpanies. Let’s go with the Research and Development Department One of the Daniels Group.”
Joziah quickly responded, “Okay, boss. I anticipated that you’d choose to coborate with the Research and Development Department One of the Daniels Group. Their research and development philosophy and direction align closely with those of our Windsoul Robots.
Plus, the Daniels Group excels in production and sales and has substantial financial resources. A partnership with them means achieving more with less effort and delivering superior, more valuable products to society.”
After her exchange with Joziah, Marissa looked up to find Connor gazing at her intently. “What’s wrong?” she asked.

“Do you really support Aelfric’s ideas?” Connor asked, his tone marked by displeasure.
“I think he’s a jerk too,” Marissa said with a smile. “It’s just that his profit-driven ideas seem practical. Partnering with him might be very profitable.”
“Are you worried about finances while you’re with me?” Connor asked, clearly upset. “Isn’t my wealth sufficient for you? Why do you still consider making money with Aelfric?”
“It was just a casualment. Why are you taking it so seriously?” Marissa retorted, not wanting to discuss the matter further. She quickly changed the subject. “I’m hungry. It’s time to clock out.”
Connor nced at his watch. It was indeed quitting time, so he hastily gathered his things and left the Daniels Group with her.
Once they were in the car, Marissa made her request. “Take me back to the Sanchez family’s vi.”
“No way!” Connor shot back without hesitation. “I’ve told you, you must stay with me. You have to live under my watch, or you’ll never know the secret of the Peridot Consortium.”
Marissa red at him. For the sake of the Peridot Consortium’s secret, she had to tolerate his demands for now.
Her phone rang then. It was Le calling.
As soon as she answered, Le’s frantic voice filled the line. “Tiffany,e back quickly. Mrs. Arabe Daniels has brought a bunch of bodyguards to our house to take the children!”
“What?” Marissa was baffled. Connor, sitting beside her, looked equally puzzled. He had promised to take the children back to the Daniels Manor. Why couldn’t Arabe wait patiently? Why had she resorted to using bodyguards? When had she be such an unreasonable woman?
Le continued, “Tiffany, Mrs. Arabe Daniels is in her nies. We can’t do anything to her. She’s insisting on taking the children to the Daniels Manor, and we don’t know what to do.”
“Where is Rita?” Marissa asked.
Rita’s job was to protect the children. Marissa hadn’t told Rita about Arabe, afraid she might identally harm her.
At the mention of Rita, Le burst intoughter. “Rita is amazing. She took down more than a dozen of Mrs. Arabe Daniels’ bodyguards all by herself. Mrs. Arabe Daniels was so furious, she started stamping her feet!”
Marissa gazed helplessly at the car roof. “I see. I’ll be right back.”
She ended the call and quickly sent a message to Rita: “I’ll be home soon to handle this. Until I arrive, don’t hurt Mrs. Arabe Daniels or upset her. Try to calm her down patiently.”
Rita responded promptly, “Got it, boss!”
Marissa let out a sigh of relief, then turned to Connor. “You must have heard. Grandma went to the Sanchez family vi to take the children. Let’s head there and see what’s happening.”
Connor nodded and instructed Domenic to drive to the Sanchez family’s home.
Upon arriving, Marissa swiftly exited the car and dashed towards the vi, with Connor following close behind.
As they entered the living room, the scene before them amused them
