Novel1Chapter 623: When she read Elvis's message, Marissa's heart fluttered for a moment. Even though she had just confirmed that the Kevin raised by Paul wasn't her adoptive brother, the nstill evoked strong emotions in her.
Marissa typed, "Kevin leads the Rasetsu Group. Would such a prominent figure really humble himself to be the interim president of the Peridot Consortium for me?" Elvis responded, "Marissa, don't worry about that. Despite Kevin's strong personality and dominance, he holds Mr. Alvarado in high regard. He wouldn't turn down a request from Mr. Alvarado unless it is to help Clarissa.” Marissa asked, "Why does Kevin have such a strong dislike for Clarissa?" Elvis explained, "Clarissa was the first child Mr. Alvarado adopted, and Kevin joined the family later. Clarissa was jealous, worried that Kevin might compete for Mr. Alvarado's affection, so she often bullied Kevin during their childhood. When Kevin first arrived, he was frail and ill. Clarissa's actions nearly cost him his life on several occasions." Marissa asked, "Didn't Mr. Alvarado do anything about it?" Elvis typed, "Clarissa was cunning, always tormenting Kevin out of Mr. Alvarado's sight. At first, Mr. Alvarado was unaware, but once he discovered the truth, he disciplined Clarissa severely.

Indeed, Kevin holds a grudge against Clarissa. If not for Mr. Alvarado's wishes, Kevin might have already taken over her Peridot Consortium and ensured her downfall." With this new understanding, Marissa saw an opportunity. She also desired to meet the man known as Mr. G, alias Kevin. Having him serve as the interim president would facilitate their meeting.
She responded to Elvis, "Sure, I look forward to meeting Kevin." Elvis said, "Alright, I'll let Mr. Alvarado know immediately. Mr. Alvarado has kept your identities confidential. To Kevin, you're simply Tiffany Nash from Blebert. Whether you reveal your true identity to him later is entirely up to you." Marissa felt a warmth spread through her as she read this, appreciating Paul's considerate actions. Paul not only held her in high regard but also took great care in respecting her feelings. It felt like the care a father would give his daughter.
This was her first experience of fatherly affection, yet Paul was not her father. If he were, she would be by his side every day. No daughter dislikes being cherished and adored by her father, especially someone like Marissa, who grew up without parental love and endured a difficult childhood. She craved that fatherly affection even more.
As she was moved by Paul's thoughtfulness, her face lit up with a joyful smile.
Connor had been watching her expressions. She had seemed a bit down when she woke up, but now she radiated happiness. He was curious about what had caused her earlier distress and what had brought about her current joy. He felt quite perplexed.

This steered the conversation back to Paul. Connor asked, "I didn't realize the mysterious boss behind Clarissa was Paul. What did he say to you last night?" Marissa responded indifferently, "Not much. He returned the chip toand once again asked if I would consider becoming his daughter." "Humph!" Connor huffed, clearly displeased. "Then he said, 'Reject him."" Marissa gave him a puzzled look. "Do you have an issue with Mr. Alvarado?"
Connor didn't mince words. "You are my wife. If he becomes your father, that makes him my father-in-law, right? No way."
He paused, then continued, "I'm not one to easily accept someone as my father-in Naw. He can forget about it." Marissa's lips twitched in amusement. She didn't expect Connor to be so petty.
Just then, Mare and Tenry entered the dining room. Mare couldn't m contain himself and blurted out, "Chief instructor, something big has happened."
