Liza was full of remorse, but she wasn’t willing topromise her dignity. Instead, she acted like a


    victim who had been cheated,ining about Loraine’s dishonesty.


    Aldo was shocked. “Trust you? Lorrie suffered far too much over her three years of marriage. You knew


    that better than anyone, didn’t you?


    And do you think that I know nothing of what is going on online? You should clear the air and apologize


    to Lorrie!”


    Liza was embarrassed but still refused to swallow her pride. “Aldo, that’s too much to ask. There


    weren’t any losses on your end, were there? Why should I apologize for nothing?”


    Loraine sneered. “My ability to survive the cyber-attack is based purely on my identity as a member of


    the Torres family. But what if I was just a country girl? How could I continue to live after such an attack


    on my reputation? Did you ever stop to consider that?”


    Liza had no response.


    Aldo’s heart ached as Loraine spoke of her suffering. “Liza, you’d better consider your next move


    carefully,” he threatened.


    “If you refuse to apologize to Lorrie, I will terminate our cooperation with


    Bryant Group and cut off all relevant funding. Or are you willing to bear those Losses?”


    After a moment, Liza finally gave in. “Well, Aldo, I’ll ask them to draft a statement on behalf of Bryant


    Group right away. Don’t do anything rash!”


    Aldo snorted. He had no intention of helping Liza save face.


    The awkwardness of the situation didn’t abate, and Liza couldn’t stay any Longer. She made her


    excuses and left the dinner early.


    “Marco, my chest feels a bit tight. Perhaps it’s too noisy here. I think I need to leave.”


    Loraine looked at her coldly and said in a mocking tone, “You Look terrible. You should visit the part of


    my smart city model that specializes in activities for senior citizens. Perhaps you’ll find something to


    slow down the aging process in your body and mind.”


    Liza was once again reminded that she almost had Loraine removed from the smart city project.

    In the end, she lost not just the project but also a deep-pocketed granddaughter-inw.


    Now, Liza did indeed feel a tightness in her chest. Unable to walk steadily, she required assistance on


    her way out.

    Bryant family.


    However, he didn’t intend to leave. Instead, he stepped forward and spoke to Aldo sincerely.


    “Mr. Torres, may I have a word with Loraine in private?”


    “What else do you want to say?” Though he was highly impatient with


    Marco, Aldo still looked at Loraine.
