Marissa’s relief was palpable when she saw that Burnet was protecting Xander. She had hoped that Xander would avoid any severe punishment for this task. If he suffered badly, she would be deeply regretful. It now appeared that Xander would not face harsh consequences.

Marissa was unfazed by Burnet’s threats. Despite the power of the Hoffman family and Burnet’s formidable presence, the Doomsday Base stood unafraid. The chip was crucial to them, and Marissa was determined not to yield it, regardless of who supported Clarissa.
