If Marco had dared to say this to Loraine directly, would he have even asked his assistant to do so?


    Loraine demanded coldly, “It’s not the same. Let Marco speak to me.”


    On the other end, Carl frowned ufortably, ncing at Marco, who sat behind his desk.


    “Mr. Bryant, I…”


    Marco appeared unwell and visibly exhausted.


    Taking the phone, he said lightly, “You can go now. I’ll handle this myself.”


    Concerned, Carl departed, closing the door behind him.


    Marco sighed. “Loraine, it’s me.”


    Loraine’s anger intensified.


    “Marco, do you honestly expect me to let


    Laura and Marina off the hook?”


    Her voice was rigid, and Marco replied with a bitter tone, “Yes.”


    Loraine was infuriated. If he hadn’t made a promise to handle it from the start, she wouldn’t have been


    this angry.


    But now, by breaking his promise, he had enraged Loraine.

    “Marco Bryant, don’t you remember what you promised me? Is this how you handle things?”


    Marco gazed downwards, his mouth slightly open, but no words came out.


    Loraine sneered as she took Marco’s silence as the most fitting response.

    “I see. Family is more important. I understand.” With a sneer, Loraine expressed her anger toward him.


    “Your loyalty to your friends and family ismendable, but please refrain from making promises you


    cannot keep in the future.”


    Her anger wasn’t due to her inability to punish Laura and Marina, but because Marco had let her down.


    He had promised her, and then broken that promise.


    Regardless of the difficulties he faced, it was hard for Loraine to ept this reality.


    Marco didn’t argue, silently epting all the me.


    When Loraine finished, Marco replied in a hoarse voice, “I’m very sorry for that.”
