Connor exhaled deeply, as if trying to release the weight pressing on his chest. Slowly, he began unraveling the threads of his own troubles.
Connor texted, “It appears that my family is a target of that shady organization as well. At the stthat you and your parents were being assaulted, my family endured similar persecutions. None of the misfortunes that befell my family were accidental; they were orchestrated." Marissa's expression turned somber. "So, Lawrence and Lindsay's creation wasn't a coincidence but was deliberately planned. They wanted to meld your genes with mine to create the specific subjects they were after." Connor replied, "That's precisely my conclusion." As Connor reflected on Marissa's mention of the shady organization's plans for Silver Fox to kill Lawrence and Lindsay, his anger flared. As their father, he was determined to protect them from any threat.
Marissa said, "They assaulted my family to get to my father, a genius in medicine. Why did they target yours?" Connor responded, "The details are unclear to me. However, going forward, you need to be transparent with me. I want to be part of everything. It's important that we tackle this unitedly, do you agree?"

Marissa replied, "I assure you, their safety is my priority. By keeping them beside me, Silver Fox is useful to the shady organization, and it allowsto intercept more of their messages and find more clues." Connor said, "I can't accept that. Under no circumstances will I allow the children to be used as bait. I refuse to expose them to even the slightest risk. Silver Fox is close to you, and your potential hesitation to hurt her in a critical moment could endanger the children.” Marissa replied, "There won't be any risk. Rita is of great help." Connor asked, "Rita?" Marissa answered, "Actually, I am Dr. Finley, the chip technology expert. Rita is a robot that I created. She matches the capabilities of top assassins worldwide and will continuously guard Lawrence and Lindsay, immediately alertingto any threat from Silver Fox."
With this explanation, Connor suddenly understood why Rita seemed so unique-she was a robot. He had only heard about Dr. Finley's significant advancements in robotics, but now, he was witnessing it firsthand. Rita's human-like appearance was so convincing that even he hadn't recognized her as a robot.
Yet, Connor was still concerned. "I can't just sit back and watch gum children be placed in such danger. As F their father, how could I ever let them be used as bait?"
Marissa responded, "What do you mean? Aren't I also a parent to them, just like you?"
