?Chapter 590:


    Despite rissa’s intense conversation with Marissa, she was acutely aware that retaining the chip without formidable assistance was an impossible task.


    When Lone Wolf arrived, the bnce was shattered, leaving rissa’s advantage in ruins. While the contents of the chip remained a mystery to her, rissa understood its critical importance to the boss. She could not afford to lose it.


    In the past, she had diligently worked to earn the boss’s favor, securing significant funding to employ scientists for its decryption. The potential loss of the chip now threatened not just to invoke the boss’s fury but to dissolve his trust in her.


    It was a trust she desperately needed to maintain. She was favored by the boss; her entire life’s luxury, her status, and her power were intricately tied to his support. Without him, she would return to the nothingness of her orphaned state.


    Thus, at this crucial moment, her dignity was of no concern. The priority was to secure the chip.


    Engaged in a tense standoff with Marissa, rissa covertly sent a distress signal to the boss, revealing that the Doomsday Base had discovered the chip had been stolen by the Peridot Consortium and that ck Mallow hadunched an assault on Skytop Mansion.


    Having sent the distress signal, rissa was not quick to act. Instead, she aimed to dy, hoping the boss would arrive soon. Of course, it was highly unlikely that help would arrive in time. The boss was currently on the Pacific Ocean. Even if he boarded his most advanced private jet, it would still take at least three hours for him to reach there.

    An unavoidable confrontation with ck Mallow was imminent. This thought made rissa’s heart race with increasing dread. ck Mallow’s cruelty was famous, and rissa was well aware of her reputation.


    The fear of dying brutally at ck Mallow’s hands before the boss could rescue her was palpable. Considering their past confrontation, rissa knew ck Mallow would show no mercy.


    Marissa, noticing the panic flickering across rissa’s face and her slight movements, clearly understood what was on her mind. She knew that rissa must have called for backup from the boss.


    With this knowledge, Marissa’s desire for the boss to arrive swiftly grew. She was eager to meet him and confront him about why he had stolen the chip, which rightfully belonged to the Doomsday Base.


    But whether or not the boss arrived, Marissa was determined to make rissa pay for her past actions: the gunshot and the recent harm to her mother through A.


    Once Marissa confirmed that rissa had sent a message for help, she swiftly took action. rissa was attempting to buy time, but Marissa was not about to grant her that opportunity.


    Unprepared mentally to face ck Mallow, rissa was caught off guard by Marissa’s sudden aggression and instinctively ran away. Her retreat, without a counterstrike, wasughable and left her bodyguards in shock. They had always believed their leader to be an exceptional figure, nearly superhuman, yet they witnessed her fleeing.


    Connor, who had been quietly watching the scene unfold, now let out a scornful sneer. Standing beside Connor, Bu simply raised his eyebrows, speechless at the spectacle. Next to Bu, Xander couldn’t help but express his disappointment. “What a shame!”


    At the same time, Silver Fox, Marissa, and Terry shared augh over the unfolding drama. Marissa, amused by the scene, chose not to chase after rissa. Instead, she stood watching as rissa ran away, effectively wrapping up the confrontation.


    After sprinting a short distance, rissa paused, realizing that ck Mallow wasn’t pursuing her. She turned to see Marissa watching her casually.


    The realization that her reaction had been overly dramatic dawned on rissa as she observed Marissa’s rxed stance.


    She scanned the faces in the crowd, all of whom looked at her with mocking expressions, and felt a deep sense of shame wash over her. She had intended to flee, but it was more likely her inherent fear of ck Mallow that had spurred her to run.


    Now, regaining herposure, rissa resolved not to let such an embarrassing moment happen again. As she felt the sting of the disdainful nces, especially from Bu, her shame quickly turned to anger.


    Driven by a mix of fury and humiliation, rissa gritted her teeth, clenched her fist, and charged at Marissa with renewed resolve
