She sighed in relief and exined, “I’m now a student of Professor


    Zizka. Is it wrong to worry about him? Yes, I made mistakes in the past, but I’ve paid for them.


    Professor Zizka offered me a fresh start.


    He’s not just my teacher, but a lifesaver. Loraine’s actions upset him deeply. How can I stay


    indifferent?”


    Marco remained quiet for a moment, and then spoke impassively.


    “It was


    Professor Zizka who first cast aspersions on Loraine, wasn’t it? And, didn’t you assure me you’d


    intervene? Why didn’t he reach out to


    Loraine directly, instead of casting doubts publicly?”


    Keely’s heart fluttered, but she also felt a tinge of luck.


    It seemed that Marco was just concerned about the inte post. He wasn’t aware of her other deeds.


    With this reassurance, Keely gathered herposure and continued in a sorrowful voice, “Marco, I


    understand your concern for Loraine, but


    Professor Zizka’s health is fragile. I dare not confront him. And, I never anticipated his public outburst.


    His anger is genuine. He nearly fainted due to his high blood pressure just a moment ago…”


    A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y


    Keely’s voice wavered.


    “I’ve already lost Jorge. I can’t afford to lose another person dear to me. Can you understand that,


    Marco? I was so infuriated that I posted thosements online. If they bother you, I can delete them.”


    Marco paused at her words, but replied calmly, “If Professor Zizka’s health ispromised, he should


    seek medical treatment instead of stirring up controversy. I’11 bear the medical expenses. And anyone


    who uses Loraine of giarism will have to face me.”


    Keely gasped and clenched her jaw. Jealousy twisted her face.


    Why did Marco care so much for Loraine?


    In the past, any mention of Jorge’s death would halt Marco’s harsh words. But this time, he was


    different.


    Drawing in a deep breath, Keely mustered the courage to question Marco,


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Professor Zizka’s credibility in the industry is undeniable. If he uses Loraine of giarism, he must


    have a valid reason. Why do you trust Loraine over my teacher, Marco?”


    Without missing a beat, Marco answered, “Because I’m certain that


    Loraine would never giarize. I can vouch for her!”


    Keely was left speechless, her heart seething with anger and jealousy.


    Why did Loraine enjoy such unfaltering trust from Marco?
