Carl brought Loraine up to speed on the matter.


    This surprised Loraine a lot.


    “Aren’t you Marco’s assistant? Why are you reporting this to me instead of to your boss?” she asked in


    confusion.


    “Well, Mr. Bryant got injured at the scene of the protest. He’s yet to make a full recovery, so he asked


    me to report the new findings to you instead,” Carl replied without hesitation.


    Marco was injured!


    Loraine’s mind traveled back to what happened a few days ago.


    The protest site had been so chaotic. For the whole time, Marco wrapped his arms around her to keep


    her away from harm. She couldn’t have known that he got hurt.


    Did he get injured because of her?


    “Ahem! How bad is his injury?” Loraine asked, her voice softened.


    This was the chance he was waiting for! Carl suddenly lowered his voice and said sadly, “Well… He’s


    seriously injured. The doctor said that his condition is very bad. We are just hoping that he pulls


    through.”


    Carl exaggerated Marco’s condition as if thetter was on the brink of death.


    Loraine rolled her eyes and sucked her teeth.


    Her instincts told her that Marco’s condition wasn’t as bad as his assistant was making it out to be.


    She wasn’t a blockhead, after all. How could a vigorous and healthy man turn into a dying patient all of


    a sudden?


    “Oh, sorry about that. I guess you have to start making arrangements for his funeral immediately. By


    the way, Carl, since you will be out of a job soon, you cane to me. I’ll help you secure a job at


    Universe


    Group.”


    “What ?”


    Carl was cut off by the disconnect tone the next second.


    He stared at the phone and was lost in thought. It seemed that Marco had a rough road ahead of him.

    Back in Loraine’s office, Cayson knocked and walked in just as she set down her phone.


    “Lorrie, the person who put Eliza up to it is very smart. They blocked her ount as soon as she was


    arrested. The cops are interrogating


    Eliza, but she refuses to confess. On the bright side, they have tracked down the IP address of the


    ount to a hospital.”


    “A hospital?” Someone suddenly came to Loraine’s mind.
