Marco’s words, they started discussing him
“He’s nothing more than a rich bumpkin, no doubt about that. His vision is so narrow. Does he think
he’s bidding on a decrepit shopping center?
This shopping area was created by Bryant Group and Universe Group!”
“Mr. Castro, you could simply admit to not having the funds. Losing to the Fowlers is no dishonor. You
mustn’t act so rashly. Do you not see the amusement you bring?”
At these words, Hurley’s face contorted in rage.
“What are you implying? Are you all conspiring against me?”
Marco’s expression hardened as he warned, “Enough of this! This is not the venue for your theatrics.
Any more disturbances, and security will see you out.”
Hurley had previously taken Liberties with Loraine and Jennie, viewing them as naive young women,

Reluctantly, he seated himself.
Observing the situation, Cayson reclined in his chair, recognizing that
Marco had effectively defused the situation.

and Universe Group.
“Thank you…” Loraine’s voice was a mixture of emotions as she watched
Marco take control of the situation.
She was unsure of Marco’s feelings towards her.
He stepped in to shield her, fearing she might get hurt.
Yet, ironically, he was the one who had inflicted pain on her in the first ce, all for his family’s sake.
Even if Marco harbored feelings for her, his family would pose a significant obstacle to their
rtionship. That was the primary reason they hadn’t moved forward.
