Liza continued, “Your sister and mother are still a part of our family, and we must consider their


    reputation. It wouldn’t reflect well on our family if they were held ountable by Loraine. You must help


    them solve this problem.”

    Liza, who imed to have a sudden illness, stared at Marco and threatened him.


    In silence, Marco listened, growing increasingly disheartened.

    He had believed Liza was genuinely ill and hurried back.


    In reality, it was merely her tactic to force him to help Laura and


    Marina.


    With a stone-cold expression, Marco asked, “What if I refuse to help them?”


    Liza had indeed invested much effort in him, but it was all for the benefits of the Bryant family.

    Did she view him merely as a valuable pawn rather than a family member?


    Liza clearly hadn’t anticipated Marco’s refusal, leaving her momentarily stunned.


    “Marco, I understand your anger. But remember, you’re a member of the


    Bryant family. You cannot allow harm to our family interests and do nothing, right?”


    Marco scoffed.


    “Family interests? Why didn’t they consider the Bryant family when they acted as they did?”


    It all came down to interests. What else was there to this family besides that?


    Laura remained unconvinced, but Liza’s warning put her and Marina in check, so she refrained from


    challenging Marco as brazenly as before.


    “Marco, I may not be your birth mother, but I raised you. Marina is your half-sister. How can you be so


    heartless to us?”


    With a slight lift of his gaze, Marco’s expression remained cold.


    He sneered, “If I were truly heartless, I wouldn’t have assisted in cleaning up your messes from the


    beginning.”


    Since assuming control of Bryant Group, Marco had aided Laura and


    Marina on numerous asions.


    Yet now, they deemed him heartless. The irony!
