    Loraine took the opportunity and said calmly, “Don’t worry. I have already figured out how to fight back.


    The first step is to buy the nearbynd and extend themercial district of Universe Group. The


    design department then develops an expansion n. Finally, we can create a brand-newmercial


    center ahead of Bryant Group thanks to the research and development department’s digital information


    technology.”

    Just as they arrived at the entrance to the street, they bumped into


    Lily and Marina.


    Seeing those two talking andughing, Loraine couldn’t keep from frowning.

    They went over to provoke her


    “Hey, Loraine, you’re shopping too? Aren’t you a member of the Torres family and the CEO of Universe


    Group? Why are you still so free? It seems you’re just a nominal CEO,” Lily said in a mocking tone.


    Loraine was very angry, but she managed to control her temper. She evenughed it off and retorted,


    “What I do is none of your business. If a giarist Like you cane out of your house, why can’t 1?”


    Lily turned red in embarrassed and shouted shrilly, “What nonsense are you talking about? That had


    nothing to do with me. The agency forced me to do those things!”


    But Loraine scoffed in doubt and said sarcastically, “Lily, I didn’t expect you to be such a shameless liar.


    With a family as influential as yours, what agency would force you? Who are you trying to fool with


    such a stupid excuse?”


    “Loraine Torres!”


    Lily had absolutely nothing to say in her own defense.


    Seeing that Lily was no match for Loraine, Marina swiftly took her ce and tried to act tough. “Good

    locked in her room and starved for two days.
