Eaton and Paige seethed with envy as they strolled toward them.


    They went to great lengths, including expending a significant sum of money, to impress Davy and gain


    his favor for cooperation. Their efforts were in vain, culminating in the triumphant victory of Loraine and


    Marco in the exposition.


    Eaton was consumed with fury, clenching his jaw tightly. However, twow enforcement officers


    apprehended him.


    Trevor said seriously, “Eaton Johnathan, Paige Johnathan, your call to the police has caused an


    unwarranted drain on valuable police resources. Moreover, you are now under suspicion for


    endangering public safety by your illegal exhibition. You muste with us.”


    Paige’s face turned ashen and the blood drained from her cheeks. She shrieked in fear, “Dad, I don’t


    want to be put in jail. You’d better get me out of this!”


    In an agitated state, Eaton said, “Mr. Gray, this is all a misunderstanding. Marco, Loraine, please help


    us rify the situation!”


    Unconcerned with the pair’s pleas, Loraine and Marco remained aloof.


    Silently, they observed the father and daughter being escorted to the police vehicle.


    The police car took Joseph and Paige away.

    Trevor swiveled around to look at Loraine and Marco, a wide smile on his face.


    “You are appreciated for the good thing you did for our city, and you even went ahead to refuse the


    reward. Still, I feel we should reward you.”


    Trevor let them know what his real intentions were.


    “Just merely saying thank you is not enough. We’ve decided to hold a press conference tomend


    you publicly.”


    Loraine waved her hand the moment she heard this.


    “Thank you, but I don’t think it’s necessary.”

    A small frown formed on Trevor’s face. He thought they were just too shy to attend the conference. “It


    won’t be a lot. All you need to do ise up to the stage and be awarded. Our society needs more


    young, promising, and righteous people Like you. Commending you publicly could contribute to


    encouraging others to be Like you!”


    Trevor, whose focus was on society, went on to talk about the impact of positive images on tourism and


    economy.


    Loraine stood there, unsure whether to ept or decline.


    As she struggled with how to respond, Marco spoke.


    “Loraine escaped a hijacked ne and attended an exposition right after. She’s had a lot on her te


    all day, and now what she needs the most is rest. We can discuss the conference and reward Later.”


    Loraine’s eyes were filled with surprise and gratitude as she turned to


    Marco.


    Back then, he didn’t know how to care for her. However, now he was so considerate and could tell


    when she needed rest.
