His gaze, cold and detached, fell on Keely.


    “From this point forward, all my support and care for you ends. Your fate is no longer my concern.”


    Keely paled, frantically pleading, “But Marco, you promised Jorge you’d look after me!”


    “Enough! You often wield Jorge’s name as a weapon, but ask yourself. Do you truly deserve his


    affection? Your greed has outweighed the favors


    I’ve extended over the years.”


    Keely finally understood that invoking Jorge’s name no longer held sway. Panic set in.


    In the past, even when imprisoned overseas, she Livedfortably.


    Marco’s consistent care came in the form of regr supplies. She even had the resources to post bail.


    Once released, Keely cunningly reached out to Leopold under the guise of Marco, seizing an


    opportunity to return home.

    But if Marco genuinely stopped caring, hardship was inevitable!


    Indeed, if the Powell family deemed her worthless, they wouldn’t spare a second thought for her. She’d


    be left utterly helpless, with nothing to fall back on.


    “Marco, I admit my mistakes. I promise not to repeat them. For Jorge’s sake, please forgive me!”


    In desperation, Keely fell to her knees, clutching Marco’s leg as her tears flowed freely.


    Marco recoiled, his frown deepening. “I’ve afforded you multiple opportunities, Keely. But you chose to


    squander them. This is the end.

    There are no more chances.”


    He didn’t spare Keely a second nce, instead he turned his eyes towards the rain outside. His


    concern for Loraine overwhelmed him, and he rushed out in the direction she had taken.


    Meanwhile, Loraine trudged through the rain, her heart heavy with despair. Her face was streaked with


    either rain or tears. It was hard to tell.


    Her eyes held a vacant expression. She didn’t seek refuge from the rain. Instead, she hoped that it


    would intensify and that the cold would somehow soothe her.


    But things rarely went ording to n, and the rain slowly turned into a drizzle.


    Loraineughed bitterly at herself, the sadness deepening.


    She felt foolish for allowing herself to trust Marco time and again.


    When they divorced, she had vowed not to let Marco sway her again. But repeatedly, she had faltered


    under his influence.


    The rain slowly ceased, leaving the world around her refreshed and green. Loraine realized she had


    unconsciously made her way to a cemetery.
