?Chapter 674:


    Sansa’s audacity in addressing Marissa in such a manner stemmed from Marissa’s rtively modest attire, which seemed less costly.


    The Peridot Consortium was a strictly hierarchical organization, where subordinates were expected to exhibit absolute deference to their superiors.


    Individuals in the higher echelons were typically adorned in opulent clothing, making them easily identifiable even without knowing their names.


    Moreover, the Peridot Consortium had a unique culture, with numerous members involved in activities beyond theprehension of lower ranks.


    Consequently, it was not unusual to encounter enigmatic figures wearing masks within the organization.


    Marissa’s masked presence, therefore, did not appear unusual. However, her in ck professional outfit led Sansa and others to misjudge her as merely an ordinary member.


    As it was Marissa’s inaugural visit to the Peridot Consortium, her familiarity with its internal dynamics was limited. Nheless, she was well-acquainted with Sansa’s and her daughter’s domineering behavior.

    Unperturbed by Sansa’s reprimand, Marissa responded with aposed demeanor, “The path is quite wide. Why must you insist on walking directly where I’m standing?”


    “How dare you!” Sansa retorted. “A subordinate should step aside when encountering a superior. Are you ignorant of this fundamental protocol?”


    “Oh?” Marissa looked at Sansa with a hint of amusement. “May I inquire what your status is?”


    Sansa was momentarily taken aback. She struggled to define her exact status within the organization.


    While rumors circted that the Peridot Consortium’s president regarded Sansa and her daughter highly, the details remained obscure to outsiders.


    Sansacked significant ability or physical prowess. To rissa, Sansa was of no value and had no official role. Sansa’s temporary affluence was entirely dependent on A.


    A herself held no formal position; she was merely a test subject for drug experiments.


    In truth, rissa had ndestinely recruited them and instructed them to maintain secrecy. Sansa, in a drunken state, had inadvertently revealed their confidential status.


    rissa was incensed and chastised Sansa severely. However, due to A’s invaluable contributions to drug testing, rissa eventually chose to overlook the breach.


    Following rissa’s covert removal from the position of president, all her trusted subordinates were recalled overnight. Consequently, only those directly involved were aware of the regime change within the Peridot Consortium.


    Kevin, the new acting president, specifically summoned Sansa and A to the meeting at the Peridot Consortium headquarters.


    This led Sansa and A to mistakenly believe that their positions would be publicly acknowledged, which only intensified their arrogance
