He had grown up within the confines of such a suffocating family. He became ustomed to it, turned


    a blind eye to the hardships Loraine endured, and allowed her to be ridiculed and mistreated.


    If he had made an effort to understand Loraine more in the past three years, she wouldn’t have


    undergone such suffering.


    He could have been there for Loraine earlier, experiencing the warmth of a family.


    Marco cast his gaze downward, suppressing the surge of emotions within him, and said calmly,


    “Loraine, even though your parents have passed away, you still have numerous family members who

    Loraine furrowed her brows upon hearing his words.


    Once again, she noticed the disparity in Marco’s demeanor.


    Every time there was a mention of family, he became despondent.

    Behind him, a faint streetmp revealed a patchy, aged wall.


    Half a dozen rascals bore the marks of a brutal beating on their faces and bodies, cowering under the


    looming presence of bodyguards.


    As Carl ryed the situation to Marco, he moved closer to the subdued rascals, their whimpering cries


    amplifying.


    “Hold your positions and seal your Lips!”


    Carl’s expression hardened as he barked his orders. The bodyguards took turns kicking the once cocky


    rascals, who now huddled together, quivering in terror.


    Tears of fear marred their faces.


    Seizing one of the rascals by the throat, Carl forced him to look up.
