?Chapter 689:


    Truthfully, Sansa and A did not think highly of Sheppard and Wesson. Their desire to ally with them stemmed from a mutual dislike for Tiffany, not from genuine respect.


    They believed that anyone opposed to Tiffany would gain rissa’s favor, even though they didn’t understand the root of rissa’s disdain for Tiffany.


    Their initial reason for introducing Sheppard and Wesson to rissa was their shared dislike for Tiffany. However, with rissa now absent, they wondered if there was still any benefit in rmending Sheppard and Wesson.


    There wasn’t much time to ponder this question. Kevin abruptly demanded, “Exin why you think those two should be rmended.”


    Sansa and A were momentarily stunned. Their main argument had been that both Sheppard and Wesson were adversaries of Tiffany. But could they really admit that now?


    Sheppard was nearly bankrupt after cutting ties with Moonbeam Gallery, and the Clifford family faced simr financial ruin following a failed contest with Moonbeam Gallery.


    While Sheppard and Wesson might have once been useful to rissa, they now seemed insignificant to the Peridot Consortium.

    Before they could answer, Marissa said sharply, “The individuals you’re rmending are the same ones assisting you in insulting me downstairs, aren’t they?”


    Caught off guard, Sansa and A timidly nodded in agreement.


    Marissa had already deduced their motives. She regarded them with contempt and instructed firmly, “Bring them in. I need to speak with them.”


    Marissa spoke in a calm, emotionless voice, which left Sansa and A unsure of her intentions. The mother and daughter shared a quick look.


    Sansa whispered, “A, what do you think the new president is nning?”


    A thought for a moment, then replied softly, “It seems like she’s open to having Sheppard and Wesson join the Peridot Consortium. Otherwise, why would someone of her stature bother with such unimportant figures?”


    Sansa’s eyes sparkled. “Do you think this new president also dislikes Tiffany?”


    “Maybe,” A said. “A new leader wouldn’t keep the old leader’s trusted people or those they favored. She’s not only kept us but is willing to meet with the people we are rmending. It looks like she’s siding with Miss Byrd.”


    Sansa was thrilled. “That’s great. Even with the change in president, our situation hasn’t changed. We can still use the Peridot Consortium’s influence to deal with Tiffany.”


    Marissa, who had sharp hearing, overheard Sansa and her daughter’s whispers. As Sansa’s excitement peaked, Marissa’s eyes narrowed dangerously.


    At that moment, Sansa turned to Marissa and said ingratiatingly, “Ms. President, please give me a moment. I’ll bring Sheppard and Wesson in right away.”


    Marissa looked away with indifference.


    Sansa quickly left the conference room
