Marco dismissed the situation, aware of his sister’s penchant for preying on the vulnerable while


    cowering before the powerful. Besides, she was pampered and intellectuallycking, so even if she did


    commit a transgression, it would have Little consequence.


    Loraine’s attention, however, pleased him.


    Approaching Loraine with a grin, Marco inquired softly, “Are you worried about me?”

    This exined why Loraine recalled every detail about Marco and fretted over Marina’s atypical


    comments.


    Loraine was taken aback, disrupting her train of thought. She shot him a fierce re and retorted,


    “Have you Lost your wits too?”


    Would it be too much to ask this man to discuss the matter seriously?


    “Alright, alright. Please don’t be upset,” Marco stated, a knowing smile ying on his lips.


    Loraine was rendered speechless and quietly descended the stairs.


    Marinay low in the shadows near the stairwell until she spotted


    Loraine and Marcoing down the stairs, which put her at ease.


    Muttering imprecations at Loraine, she scoured for the information

    Her anxiety mounted as she noticed the door ajar. She tidied herself up and cautiously pushed the door


    open but found no one inside.


    Marina furrowed her brow in confusion and entered the room before dialing Laura’s number.


    “Mom, are you sure you’re not pulling my leg? There is no one in the room.”


    Laura reassured her and said, “Marina, calm down. Please have a little patience. I swear it’s the truth


    this time!”


    Marina furrowed her brow and settled onto the sofa. Three wine sses were on the table, one empty


    and two half-full.


    She suspected several people had been there previously but departed.


    After a brief pause, Laura continued, “I received information that Davy


    Jones, the president of Cheap and Fine Group, made an appearance in


    Vagow today. Someone saw him entering this bar, so I’m confident that he must have booked a room


    here. Marina, when you spot him, take advantage of the situation. You know what to do, right?”


    Marina was already annoyed with Loraine and Marco for meeting them and being reprimanded by


    them, and she was even more at this point.
