Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 732:

“When I raided Skytop Mansion to steal the chip, I found out about the virus you and Clarissa developed. The person behind Clarissa was furious upon knowing this. He replaced her and took her under control,” Marissa revealed.

“I see. I knew Clarissa was a useless fool!” Q replied, their disappointment palpable on the screen.

A sneer escaped Marissa’s lips. Q and Clarissa were birds of the same evil feather. She was wise enough to avoid getting involved in their feud, so she didn’t say anything.

“What else do you know? Do you know who the person behind Clarissa is? And who is Peridot Consortium’s new president?” Q flooded her with questions.

An Evil Deal

“I don’t know,” Marissa shot back quickly.

She marveled at Paul’s power and capabilities. She hadn’t expected Paul to mask his identity so effectively. Despite Q and Clarissa’s prolonged, covert collaboration, Q hadn’t uncovered that the elusive boss of the Peridot Consortium was the owner of the Sunrise.

“Clarissa is fiercely loyal to her boss. I’ve worked with her for ages, tried every trick, but she never let slip who her boss was,” Q admitted.

“Now that she’s been replaced and is under control, my lead is gone. The new president of the Peridot Consortium is even more of a mystery. If I want to partner with the new president, I need to rebuild my connections. Damn it!”

Marissa read Q’s complaints quietly. She figured Q must be angry that they confided in her, a stranger. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have revealed so much.

Since Q had said so much, she pressed on. “Didn’t you team up with Clarissa to steal the chip? Now that you have it, why do you need the new president?”

“I need a wealthy backer to fund my research. Why else do you think I’ve been dealing with that fool, Clarissa, for so long?

She mentioned having a strong rival and needing a powerful team to compete. She said without the team, she’d be finished. I had the virus; she had the funds. We joined forces.”

After reading this, Marissa connected the dots.

Clarissa’s strong rival was Kevin. To compete with him, she bought the new virus from Q at a steep price and created operatives like Ayla. It was more an evil deal than a scientific research cooperation.

At that moment, Q realized they had said too much and sent a regretful emoji.

“I shouldn’t have shared all this with you. Damn it! But Clarissa has lost her power, so it doesn’t matter if you know.”

Marissa knew Q was unlikely to share more, but she continued, “Is the virus you put in Tiffany the same as the one in Ayla? Just let me know.”

Unexpectedly, Q responded, “They belonged to the same batch. But this new virus mutates daily, and its final form is still uncertain. Moreover, the mutation’s speed and direction vary from person to person.

So, treating them the same way isn’t possible. Since we can’t predict the mutation’s speed and direction, the side effects remain unknown. Different subjects react differently to the virus. noveldrama
