Novel1Chapter 590 Chapter 590: Despite Clarissa's intense conversation with Marissa, she was acutely aware that retaining the chip without formidable assistance was an impossible task.
When Lone Wolf arrived, the balance was shattered, leaving Clarissa's advantage in ruins. While the contents of the chip remained a mystery to her, Clarissa understood its critical importance to the boss. She could not afford to lose it.
