Chapter 325: The person tapping on the window was Wesson, whom Marissa hadn't seen for a while. Marissa peered at him through the car window, noticing that he looked much more miserable than when they last met. It seemed Aelitic had beaten him up badly during their encounter at the Doomsday Base branch.

Marissa couldn't suppress a laugh, thinking that Wesson was someone who would only realize the extent of his mistakes when facing his ruin. After a brief moment of amusement, she stepped out of the car and faced Wesson, asking, "What's the matter?" Wesson gave Marissa a contemptuous look before taunting, "Tiffany, I underestimated you. I can't believe you even dared to beat up Charles and his men and provoke Mr. Sugden." Marissa dismissed his taunt with a retort, "Life is about moving forward, not looking back. You used to exude confidence, but now you just look like the biggest loser. Death doesn't seem too far off for you." The place for great stories: gvlnovals"How dare you!" Wesson gritted his teeth, furious as he pointed at Marissa. "Tiffany, you still think you're untouchable? Do you realize how close you are to meeting death?" Marissa smirked and said, "Well, life's full of surprises. Let's just see what happens. No point wasting your breath here, right?" Just then, Daryl stepped out of the car. Looking at the painting box in his hand, Wesson didn't hesitate to say, "Ah, Daryl! You once used this painting against my family. But after Mr. Sugden takes this painting from you today, how will you stand up to us?" Daryl answered confidently, "Even if the Sanchez family falls, our integrity stays intact. And even if you cout on top, you're just Remy's puppet, after all." "Damn you!" Wesson's face contorted with anger. "Oh, alright then! You guys won't realize until you hit rock bottom, huh? Once Mr. Sugden deals with you, let's see how my family tears your family apart!" Marissa, tired of his bluster, made a direct threat. "Wesson, if you don't leave right now, I'll beat you up! You look so fragile. One more hit from me, and you might just find yourself in hell!" Wesson, visibly frightened, quickly wheeled away but continued to shout threats at Tiffany. “Just wait, Tiffany! When the Sanchez family falls, you're my first target. I'll turn your world upside down!" Marissa casually looked down, stretching her wrist as if preparing for a confrontation. Frightened, Wesson shouted at his bodyguard, "Let's get out of here! Move it, now!" The bodyguard quickly wheeled Wesson away, making a swift exit. Marissa dropped her arm and said to Daryl, "Let's head in." Daryl walked beside Marissa obediently. Rachel, Shaun, and Leila followed closely. They proceeded confidently, trusting Marissa completely with their family's future.
As they approached the entrance of the banquet hall, they noticed Aelfric engaged in a friendly conversation with Dunbar. Dunbar, serving as Remy's right-hand man, was positioned at the hall's entrance. He greeted each guest warmly, showing them great respect.

Given Aelfric's position as the deputy chief instructor at Doomsday Base, Dunbar treated him with particular regard, and their chat stood out from those with other guests. Marissa's keen ears picked up snippets of their conversation from afar.
Much to her surprise, she heard them talk about the chief instructor of Doomsday Base, known as Black Mallow
