The primary reason Leopold refrained from naming Loraine directly had to do with his own standing. He


    didn’t want his words to irreparably damage someone’s future. Despite viewing Loraine as morally


    deficient, he hoped to grant her another chance.


    Simultaneously, he wanted Loraine toprehend the seriousness of the situation before it spiraled


    out of control. He yearned for her to voluntarily admit her mistakes, step down from the project, and


    distance herself from Marco.


    Since he refrained from naming the giarist, inte users started making their own connections and


    recognizing the giarism. Designers began voicing their disdain for giarism across social media


    tforms.


    When Keely saw the news online, she was torn between feelings of tion and fear.


    She knew all too well who the real giarist was.


    Keely understood that waiting idly for Loraine to stumble upon evidence proving her innocence was not


    an option. She needed to stoke the mes further to confirm Loraine’s guilt.


    Now that she saw a golden opportunity to bring Loraine down once and for all, she must ensure that


    Loraine couldn’t flip the situation to her advantage!


    That night, Keely hailed a taxi and headed towards a particr building.


    She found herself at the doorstep of the Bryants’ house.


    Keely was invited inside, although she could sense the tension hanging in the air.

    Upon seeing Marina, she couldn’t help but say, “Marina, it’s been ages!


    Have you missed me?”


    Marina responded with a disinterested smile.


    Liza had ordered Marina and Laura to stay at home and not go out since they had made the secret


    about Marco’s birth public. Grounding them was a kind of punishment.


    Marina hadn’t shopped for designer clothes or visited the salon to keep her hair Looking fresh in what


    felt Like forever. She was slowly losing her sanity in this enforced istion, feeling like a rose that had


    lost its beauty.


    Yet, seeing Keely, a wave of self-satisfaction washed over her.


    Marina had once admired Keely, seeing in her a grace and nobility that she believed Marco cherished.


    She had envisioned Keely marrying Marco and ousting Loraine in due course. However, Keely’s


    constant blunders and subsequent incarceration had defied her expectations. Even Marco had


    forsaken her.


    Marina struggled to conceal her dislike for Keely, but social etiquette demanded she maintain a polite


    demeanor. With a slight stumble in her words, she mustered, “Keely, when did youe back? And


    why wasn’t I informed of your release from jail?”


    At that moment, Laura descended the staircase. Unlike Marina, she showed no semnce of


    politeness towards Keely. She addressed Marina dismissively, “Not everyone deserves a wee in


    our house, Marina.


    Kindly ask her to leave. I fear her presence might bring us bad fortune.”


    Unfazed by their contempt, Keely responded with a soft smile, “Mrs.


    Bryant, Marina, it’s delightful to see you both once more. I came back as a student of Professor Zizka.


    My mentor has been given the important task of leading the redesign of the White Cloud Airport in


    Vagow, and he has brought me along. I visited because I wished to express my gratitude for your past


    kindness. However, it seems that you’re too busy to entertain me. Do not worry, I will take my leave


    immediately.”


    Laura and Marina exchanged surprised Looks.
