Chapter 827: Over the years, our boss hasn't stopped searching for your father. He's also been trying to locate the chip your father hid.
The chip was eventually found, but there's still no sign of your father. It's possible he's still out there, though it's more likely he didn't survive the crocodiles' attack. Our boss leans toward the latter belief." Despite Q's assessment that the chance of her father's survival was slim, Marissa felt a surge of hope-any possibility was better than none.

If you agree to cooperate with me, it could be mutually beneficial. We could both gain from this. Honestly, I'm tired of being under my boss's control.
His other subordinates don't like me-they even wantdead. I've been plotting to take over the organization, eliminate my boss, and those who oppose me.
I wasn't involved in what happened to your father, so there's no bad blood between us. We can work together. You get your revenge, and I achieve my dream in scientific research. What do you think?” £АT€$t ÇнАþtëяş 1п Ġalиovε!Ş.¢Øm Marissa narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint appearing. "How would we cooperate? I'm just a peripheral member of Riss's team.

My boss is growing impatient with the lack of progress. Since the year before last, he's been cutting back on funding, leavingfinancially strapped." With this explanation, Marissa pieced together why Q had aligned with Clarissa—to secure a substantial financial boost for their research endeavors.
"Your current position may not be powerful enough to track down Dr. Finley or Riss," Q added. "But leveraging Connor's resources could be our key. As soon as we secure Connor's backing, we'll have sufficient funds for our research. This will also make it much simpler to locate Dr. Finley and Riss."
