The more she kept shouting at them, the angrier she became.


    “Marco has even refused to call ore back home because he’s angry with you! You know how much


    he cares about Loraine, don’t you? So, why did you do that to her? Both of you must apologize to her


    or I’ll teach you a bitter lesson!”


    Engulfed in pain, Marina wrestled with the feelings of bitterness swelling within her. Her mind grappled


    with the injustice of the situation.


    She didn’t believe she had done anything wrong this time. She simply felt that Liza had disyed


    excessive favoritism. Unable to contain herself, she retorted, “Grandma, what gives you the authority to


    demand apologies from us? The mess is all on Keely. Why isn’t she the one apologizing? And my


    brother, he Let Keelye home and he still keeps in touch with her. He clearly doesn’t me her for


    the past. For all we know, he might still harbor affection for her!”


    The more Marina voiced her frustrations, the more she found herself convinced. The seeds of


    indignation sprouted within her, nourished by


    Marco’s actions. It appeared that Liza was teaming up with strangers to target her and Laura. Now,


    they were being made scapegoats for Keely’s errors.


    Why was she, the legitimate daughter of the Bryant family, subjected to this?


    In the midst of her outrage, Marina heard Liza’s scornfulughter.


    “Fool, you still don’t understand, do you?”

    Caught off guard, Marina felt a pang in her heart. She turned to Liza with a puzzled look.


    “What are you talking about?” she inquired.


    With a gaze brimming with pity, Liza stared at them. Her aged face sported an air of contempt as she


    let out a soft sigh.


    “Keely, having lost her sanity, was exiled from the country overnight. She’s likely already in a facility


    getting help. Yet here you two are, ming Marco for protecting Keely? Utterly ridiculous!”


    Laura gasped, her eyes wide in surprise. Marina, too, was taken aback.

    “She’s… she’s mentally ill? What happened exactly?”


    Liza let out a derisive snort. “She had these ridiculous fantasies about tying the knot with Marco.


    Naturally, she would fail! She even concocted the absurd idea of live-streaming her suicide to


    manipte


    Marco.”


    Marina’s mind spun in turmoil, and her disbelief sparked a defensive response. “That can’t be right!


    How can such a significant event leave no evidence? Grandma, are you trying to trick us?”


    Liza nced at her, her scorn intensifying.


    “ALL you and your mother ever do is smear Loraine’s name. What would you know about real issues?


    The event spiraled out of control, and the authorities intervened to keep it under wraps. Any online


    discussion rted to it has been censored.”


    However, Marina remained skeptical.


    “But how can you be certain?
