Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 646:

To destroy the Sanchez family is to dismantle your base. Sansa and her daughter approached me because they want to uncover secrets about the Sanchez family, secrets I know, and use them to bring down your stronghold. So, even though I am without funds or influence at the moment,

I hold significant value to Sansa and her daughter. If I sell these secrets to them, they will surely commend me to the Peridot Consortium’s president, smoothing my entry into the organization. Once I earn the president’s favor, with such formidable support, my resurgence is inevitable.”

Sheppard’s declaration left the Sanchez family visibly shaken. They feared not the specter of bankruptcy, but the potential harm to Marissa. The might of the Peridot Consortium was indeed formidable.

The family members exchanged worried glances, contemplating the surrender of the shares to Sheppard.

However, Marissa was the linchpin of the family now. Without her approval, they hesitated to act. After sharing looks, they turned their eyes back to Marissa, hoping to confer with her.

Yet, Marissa’s expression remained derisive and amused. She retorted to Sheppard, “Really? Then why haven’t you taken up Sansa and her daughter’s offer yet? Why are you still here wasting time with us?”

Sheppard’s anger was palpable as he pointed his finger at Marissa, his body shaking.

“Tiffany, you truly don’t see what’s beneficial for you,” he burst out, his frustration evident.

“I had actually taken into consideration our kinship and initially refused Sansa and her daughter’s offer, hoping to provide you an escape route.

All you needed to do was return the shares, and we could have resolved this amicably. However, you’ve pushed me to my limits, so don’t hold it against me when I retaliate.”

“Then proceed, by all means,” Marissa retorted, her impatience clear in her voice. “I’m eager to witness how you intend to retaliate. Make your move tonight, for by tomorrow morning, circumstances may shift, and procrastination could spell disaster.”

“You—”

Seeing Marissa’s indifference to both his threats and pleas only fueled Sheppard’s fury.

Marissa, still wearing her dismissive smile, continued her merciless mockery.

“And let’s be clear, you didn’t decline Sansa’s invitation out of consideration for our blood ties, but rather because you were desperate to quickly amass wealth to stave off your immediate financial crisis.

Gaining the Peridot Consortium president’s favor wouldn’t instantly fill your coffers. Before you could secure the president’s favor and protection, your entire family could have been destitute, begging in the streets.

So you devised a flawless plan: approach us first, coax the shares from us, then with the funds in hand, accept Sansa and her daughter’s invitation, and use the Peridot Consortium’s power to usurp the Gallery.”

She locked eyes with Sheppard, her gaze icy as she asked him, “Isn’t that the case, Mr. Sanchez?”noveldrama

Caught with his machinations exposed, Sheppard guiltily diverted his gaze, shocked that Tiffany, whom he had underestimated, had seen through his ploy
