Chapter 600:
Marissa had braced herself for a showdown over the chip when rissa’s boss showed up. To her surprise, the atmosphere remained unexpectedly calm.
Still, she couldn’t shake the suspicion that rissa’s boss might be a sly operator, luring her onto the ne and pulling a fast one.
But no matter what, Marissa knew she had to meet this boss today to figure out who he really was. She agreed to the invitation and walked forward with purpose.
Connor, ever the dutiful husband, stepped up beside her. “I’ming with you.”
Before Marissa could respond, the butler-like figure intervened, his tone smooth and respectful. “Mr. Lone Wolf, please be assured that my boss means no harm to Ms. ck Mallow. He only wishes for a private chat. If you’d be so kind, please wait here.”
Connor’s skepticism was evident. “And why should I take your word for it?”
The butler-like figure seemed at a loss, clearly troubled by Connor’s distrust. Marissa, with a reassuring smile, turned to Connor. “It’s fine. I can handle this on my own.”

With that, she followed the butler-like figure onto the ne. As Marissa stepped aboard, she was greeted by a familiar face at the cabin door. It was Eli, the captain of the Sunrise. Seeing Eli immediately confirmed Marissa’s suspicion—rissa’s enigmatic boss was none other than Paul.
Eli greeted her warmly. “Marissa, what a surprise! It’s been a while. How have you been?”
Marissa was taken aback by Eli’s knowledge of her true identity. With a smile, she removed the ck veil that had concealed her face.
“Captain Williamson, it’s been a while,” she said with a smile. “You never let on that I’m ck Mallow. How did you recognize me?”
“It wasn’t me who recognized you, but Mr. Alvarado,” Eli said with a charming smile. “He spotted you right away.”
After a moment of reflection, she asked, “Captain Williamson, was rissa raised by Mr. Alvarado?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Does she want to be his daughter?” Marissa pressed.
“She does,” Eli confirmed. “But Mr. Alvarado has never really seen her as his own. He found her as an orphan, felt sorry for her, and decided to take her in, but that’s as far as it goes.”
Marissa sighed. “rissa seems to resent me because she thinks I’m trying to steal her father away. I suspect it’s because Mr. Alvarado once jokingly mentioned epting me as his daughter, which probably made her jealous. But she doesn’t know I’m Marissa—she thinks I’m Tiffany. It’s quite confusing.”
Eli gave a knowing nod. “To be honest, Marissa, Mr. Alvarado isn’t too fond of rissa’s character, so he keeps a lot from her. rissa only caught fragments of the situationst time and doesn’t know the full story, which is why she’s acting this way.”
Marissa nodded in understanding. She then nced toward the cabin and said to Eli, “I’d like to see Mr. Alvarado now.”
“Certainly,” Eli replied with a respectful nod. He then led Marissa into the inner part of the cabin.
The cabin’s interior was tastefully adorned with luxury. Plush sofas and elegant tables filled the space, while a table was beautifully arranged with a selection of gourmet dishes, exquisite wines, and an abundance of fresh fruit.
Paul, dressed in ssic vintage clothing, sat on a sofa by the table, his eyes fixed eagerly on the entrance, a hopeful look on his face. When Eli ushered Marissa in, Paul’s face instantly brightened with a smile. He enthusiastically waved her over.
“Marissa, after such a long battle, you must be exhausted and famished. Come, help yourself to some food!”
Paul’s kind demeanor and heartfelt hospitality warmed Marissa’s heart, making it impossible for her to feel anything but affection for him.
However, Marissa intentionally adopted a stern expression, refusing to offer Paul any warmth. With a chilly tone, she demanded, “Mr. Alvarado, could you exin why you sent people to steal from the Doomsday Base? This is a serious matter. I need you to answer me directly.”
