Upon Marco’s return, Liza assumed he had reconsidered his actions and regainedposure. With a


    smile, she promptly summoned Laura from the kitchen and spoke up.


    “It’s been ages since west gathered. Marco, your mother and Marina have been keeping a low profile


    and not stirring up any trouble. Your mother has even taken up cooking and has whipped up something


    special.


    Why don’t you stay for dinner?”


    Liza remained oblivious to the serious expression on Marco’s face since his arrival, while Laura


    instantly grew flustered as soon as sheid eyes on him.


    Disregarding Liza’s attempts to please him, Marco cast a cold nce at


    Laura and Marina, his voice deep and menacing. “Did you two employ the individuals spreading rumors


    about Loraine online?”

    Taken aback, Liza peered at Laura and Marina for a while. Then she turned her eyes back to Marco,


    her voice a quiver of bewilderment.


    “Marco, what in the world are you saying?”

    She had only moments before vouched that the two women hadn’t stirred any ruckus. Had they truly


    wreaked havoc under her watch?


    Yet her question was met with only silence.


    Laura’s cheeks flushed with panic, wanting to deny the usation, but


    Marina let the truth slip. “Marco, how’d you figure it out?”


    Laura’s eyes dimmed, she felt Lightheaded.


    Marco’s lips curled into a scornful smirk, choosing not to respond to their queries.


    “ALL I can imagine is you two creating such a mess. I’m not surprised by what you did. How many


    times is this? Despite my frequent warnings, you never seem to Learn. Do you see me as a pushover?


    I suppose I can’t keep funding your mistakes!”


    Laura and Marina stared, their eyes wide with shock.


    With a grit of her teeth, Marina plucked up the courage to retort, “Why aren’t you giving me my


    allowance? I am the rightful Bryant heiress, and you’re nothing but a bastard!”


    The thought of being without an allowance seemed more daunting to


    Marina than her fear of Marco. What self-respecting woman from a rich family would lead such a pitiful


    existence?


    The subject of his illegitimacy stung Marco, leaving him momentarily speechless, his face clouded with


    anger.


    Liza, snapping back to her senses,manded, “Shut up, Marina!


    Regardless, Marco is the CEO of Bryant Group. You’ve no right to spew such rubbish!”
