It wouldn’t surprise her if he’d had dealings with the Cruz family of


    Zodiac.


    Marco pursed his lips, shaking his head without hesitation. “No connection. At most, I’ve interacted with


    Grady and Mrs. Cruz, but no direct dealings with the Cruz family of Zodiac.”


    Loraine mused over this, puzzled by Tillie’s seemingly familiar reaction earlier.


    But if Marco had no association with them, what had provoked Tillie’s reaction?


    Regaining herposure, Tillie attempted to gloss over the situation with a Light cough. “I apologize, I


    must have confused you with someone else. This gentleman bears a striking resemnce to an


    acquaintance of mine.”


    Her unsettled demeanor lingered, her anticipations unfulfilled as she cast another nce at Marco,


    asking, “Sir, might I inquire as to who you are? And how do you know the young master, Grady Cruz,


    from our


    Cruz family?”


    Marco didn’t reciprocate Tillie’s inquiry with a friendly response.


    She’d just disyed disdain towards Loraine, sporting an arrogant demeanor. Even though he didn’t


    know who she’d mistaken him for, he had no intention of indulging her curiosity.

    Tillie appeared somewhat embarrassed at not receiving a response and guessed that Marco’s


    indifference had something to do with her earlier impoliteness. She also knew better than to make a


    scene.


    It was Loraine who, in consideration of her friendship with Ariadna and for the sake of rification,


    interjected, “This is Marco Bryant, the


    CEO of the Bryant Group. He has business connections with the Cruz family in the antique art industry


    in Vagow, hence their acquaintance.”

    On hearing the name “Bryant,” Tillie’s expression grew even more perplexed, murmuring to herself,


    “The Bryant family… Why such a simrity? How could they Look so much alike?”


    Loraine nced at Tillie, curiously asking, “Simr to whom? Who did you mistake him for? Is there


    someone from the Cruz family in Zodiac who resembles him?”


    Judging by Tillie’s tone when mentioning that person, even without a name, it was clear that she held


    this individual in high regard, hinting at their eminent status.


    But what possible connection could Marco have with the Cruz family?


    Marco’s brow furrowed deeper, a look of distaste apparent. He already harbored a negative impression


    of Grady and Florence of the Cruz family, and now, Tillie’sments just amplified his distaste. He


    wanted no association with the Cruz family.


    His reluctance to pursue the topic further was evident in his grim expression.


    Tillie spoke hesitantly. “No, no. As I mentioned earlier, I mistook him for someone else. Oh, I must


    return. Miss Ariadna must be getting anxious without me…”


    With that, she hastily retreated, Leaving Loraine to ponder her strange behavior.


    The peculiar interaction with Tillie made both of them puzzled. Loraine feltpelled to rify to


    Marco, “The girl in the bed next to mine is Miss Ariadna of the Cruz family from Zodiac. That Tillie is her


    servant.”


    Marco nodded. He was indifferent to Tillie’s identity; had she not offended Loraine, he wouldn’t have


    engaged with her at all.
