Mr. Bryant!”


    She knew that a single coat would hardly make a dent in Marco’s wealth.


    But what he truly needed was a woman!


    Marco had always maintained a spotless reputation, and apart from his marriage, Keely was the only


    woman involved in any gossip surrounding him. Therefore, Jane didn’t question Keely’s ims.


    If Marco didn’t care for her, would he have given her his coat?


    Jane even shared a knowing Look with Keely and grinned. She was certain that some intimate episode


    between the two must’ve led to Keely’s current disheveled state.


    Perhaps it was just the youthful passion shared between the pair that made Marco send Carl here for


    the coat.


    Immersed in her musings, Jane’s expression took on an increasingly peculiar cast. Carl, in response,


    knitted his brows. As an individual constantly at Marco’s side, he wasn’t naive. Naturally, he discerned


    the hidden implications in Jane’s recent words.


    With a frosty smirk, Carl promptly shattered her illusions. “Mr. Bryant has no intention of seeing Keely


    again. My visit here tonight, on Mr.


    ninjanovel


    Bryant’s instructions, is to remove Keely.”


    Jane froze, a look of shock taking over her features as she turned towards Keely.


    What did that mean? Where were they sending Keely?


    Keely’s face contorted, her teeth clenched tightly as she forced out a stiff smile, choosing to deceive


    herself as she queried, “Is Marco intending to take me away from the Powell family and wee me


    into the Bryant family?”


    Jane’s eyes sparkled, nodding enthusiastically.


    “Keely, I’ll assist you in packing. You’ve been staying with the Powells for so long, and I, as your aunt,


    have treated you well. Once you join the Bryant family, do not forget about me!”


    Keely retorted haughtily, “That depends on your behavior.”


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Jane’s smile faltered momentarily, but she quickly recovered, shaking her head apologetically.


    Watching the pair of women fantasizing about their luxurious future with the Bryants, as though


    oblivious to the presence of others, left


    Carl thoroughly bewildered. What sort of drama were they attempting to enact?


    But when he realized their genuine belief in the notion that he was there to escort Keely to the Bryant


    family, Carl could bear it no longer.


    He cut through their conversation, his voice stern, “I am not here to transfer Keely to the Bryant family.


    I’m here to escort her out of this country!”


    “What!” Jane blurted out, taken aback.


    Keely clenched her hands tightly, managing to paste a strained smile on her face as she murmured,


    “Marco is indeed thoughtful. Sending me overseas seems like a wise choice. I’ve stirred up enough


    chaos here; it’s inappropriate for me to linger. Marco must be prioritizing my welfare.”
