“Loraine, I owe you an apology for my earlierck of courtesy. Your aptitude in architecture is quite


    unique! I’ve never encountered someone who employs natural Light so intensively in their designs. I’m


    relieved that my misunderstanding didn’t overshadow your brilliance.”


    Loraine responded with a gentle smile, choosing not to mention that if she weren’t the head of the


    Universe Group, the false usations against her might have left her in a ridiculed and unappreciated


    position.


    Fortunately, the situation had been cleared up, and now nobody would question her prowess and


    creativity.


    Klein was quite impressed with Loraine, dreaming about assigning all of


    Vagow’s major construction ns to her in the future.


    Being apuded by Leopold was no small feat, and her designs could potentially transform Vagow into


    a Landmark, stimting economic growth and even boosting Klein’s own fame.

    Overwhelmed by the possibilities, Klein could hardly contain his delight and cheerfully suggested, “Now


    that we’ve settled on the n, shall we raise a ss to our sess and bid farewell to the recent


    misfortunes?”


    Knowing that Klein was referring to Keely’s giarism scandal, Leopold nodded. Wishing to make


    amends, he offered, “This one’s on me.”


    “No need, Professor Zizka. Let’s head to the fancy restaurant run by the Bryant Group. I insist on


    paying the bill.” Marco, hoping for an opportunity to spend more time with Loraine, swiftly took charge


    of the situation.


    He directed his gaze at Loraine, eager for her response.


    But Loraine replied hesitantly, “I won’t be able to join you. I have othermitments.”


    Marco couldn’t hide his curiosity. “What is it? Do you have another engagement? With a man or a


    woman?”


    Seeing Marco’s anxious face, Loraine understood his worries. She shot him a look and rified, “I have


    to visit my grandpa at the hospital.”


    Aldo had been showing good signs of recovery in recent days. Loraine made it a point to visit him post


    work hours.


    Marco, feeling deted, offered, “I can drive you there and also pay a visit to Mr. Torres.”


    Loraine burst intoughter, squinting at Marco. “Visit? My grandpa might have a fit seeing you. Let’s not


    add stress to his recovery.”


    Stunned, Marco responded with a hint of grievance, “But I did arrange for the surgical robot. I don’t


    think Mr. Torres dislikes me that much.”


    Hearing this, Loraine pondered. Yes, Marco did help secure the surgical robot. But Aldo had a temper,


    and even though he’dpensate Marco for the robot, he’d still harbor no fondness for him.

    With his stubborn nature, Aldo was often harder to deal with than


    Loraine’s own uncles.


    Understanding that he couldn’t impose his will on Loraine, Marco let out a disappointed sigh and


    conceded, “Alright, if Mr. Torres dislikes my presence, I won’t visit. I understand that my past errors


    can’t be overlooked by simply doing good deeds now. The Torres family has every right not to want to


    see me…”


    Sensing his guilt, Loraine reassured him, “That’s not what I meant. You saved my grandpa’s Life. We’re


    all truly grateful.”


    She then promised, “I’ll speak highly of you to my grandpa.”
