Feeling her gaze, he waved his hand in a friendly gesture, as if to assure her.


    “Don’t worry. I’m okay.”


    Feigning sternness, Loraine cleared her throat. “It wasn’t concern.


    You’ve been tied up with work all day. Now that you delivered the files, shouldn’t you head back now?


    Need me to arrange a driver for you?”


    Hiding a chuckle, Marco didn’t call her out. His affectionate gaze lingered on her before he gently


    replied, “Alright, I’ll be off then


    Remember, Loraine, you can call me anytime you need something.”


    Embarrassed, Loraine shut the door, taking a few moments to regain herposure.

    At the same time, in the Bryant family’s vi.


    Lounging in the living room, Marina unted her phone. “Mom, I’ve set reporters onto Loraine at the


    Universe Group entrance. These reporters can spin anything. Once the scandalous stories about


    Loraine hit the inte, let’s see her next move!”


    Elegantly sipping her tea, Laura advised with a smile, “Marina, hold your horses with the celebrations.


    Once Loraine falls from grace, we can enjoy our victory.”


    Rolling her eyes, Marina nodded.


    Yet, she was the kind of person who could hardly keep a secret. The desire to boast about her


    aplishments was more tormenting than any restrictions imposed on her


    It wasn’t long before Marina brushed off the caution and rang Keely to brag.


    Reacting to the news, Keely feigned concern. “Marina, is this really a good idea? What if Marco finds


    out? Won’t he be furious?”


    Marina retorted, “Keely, do you know why you can’t stand against


    Loraine? You’re too soft! Why worry? Leopold used Loraine of giarism. How could he be wrong?


    All I’m doing is exposing the true face of this wicked woman!”


    Keely replied in a hushed tone, “I understand your intentions, but considering Marco’s affection for


    Loraine, I fear he might be upset.”


    A thought suddenly struck Marina.


    Keely had found favor with Leopold and was still in love with Marco.


    More importantly, Keely was oblivious to the fact that Marco wasn’t her biological brother.


    If she could leverage this opportunity to earn the goodwill of Keely and establish a connection with the


    globally renowned Leopold, perhaps her reputation could be redeemed.

    With this thought, Marina’s lips curled into a smile. “I understand how much my brother means to you.


    Don’t worry. I’ll speak highly of you to him!”


    “Really? Thank you, Marina.”
