?Chapter 638:


    Marissa met her gaze with a calm demeanor.


    Sanso waited on the line, but the call went unanswered.


    She mumbled in confusion, “It’s odd. The president said I could call anytime if I was in trouble. Why isn’t she picking up now?”


    Meanwhile, A, struggling to get herposure, said, “Maybe she’s just tied up with something right now. I’ll give Warren a ring.”


    Marissa didn’t know who Warren was, but soon enough, A was on the phone with him. After a tense exchange, A’s face turned pale with worry.


    Once she hung up, A seemed to forget about Marissa and told Sanso, “Mom, Warren said something major is going down at the Peridot Consortium. He told me to get ready and head to their main office tomorrow morning for an important meeting.”


    Sanso didn’t hesitate. “Let’s head back and get ready,” she said.


    A gave Marissa a steely look and warned, “I’ll let you off the hook today. But tomorrow, at the meeting, we’re definitely going to tell the president about this. Expect someone toe and teach you a good lesson.”

    “Alright, I’ll be waiting,” Marissa replied with a sly smile.


    Without another word, Sanso and A hurried off, with Ernst trailing behind.


    That left Emilee all alone in the bushes.


    Meanwhile, Marissa received a text from Xander. “Chief Instructor, the acting president will be leading the meeting tomorrow morning and has invited you to attend. He wants everyone to meet the new president.”


    “Got it. I’ll be there on time,” Marissa responded.


    After a brief exchange with Xander, Marissa nced at Emilee, who was still moaning in the bushes, and asked Silver Fox, “So, what should we do with her?”


    Marissa had expected Silver Fox to seize the moment to teach Emilee a lesson, but Silver Fox merely nced at Emilee indifferently and said, “We do nothing.”


    It was clear she had no interest in dealing with Emilee today.


    “A cat doesn’t kill a mouse the moment it catches it; it toys with the mouse, enjoying the game,” Silver Fox remarked. “Aren’t you eager to get home to your mother? We’ve been dyed long enough. Let’s hurry and go.”


    With a smile, Marissa turned to the two kids. “Have you picked out your toys? I’ll buy them for you.”


    Earlier, she had restrained A fromunching a second attack, mainly for the children’s sake. She feared the fight would frighten them, so she subdued A in a seemingly gentle manner.


    To her surprise, the kids weren’t scared at all; instead, they looked thrilled.


    “Mom, you’re amazing at fighting!” Lindsay eximed, looking up at her. “You just grabbed her, and that bad woman couldn’t move anymore. Mom, can you do magic?”


    “Mom, you must know magic!” Lawrence chimed in.


    With a smile, Marissa ruffled the kids’ hair. “Yes, I know magic. I can defeat bad people with it.”
