No, no, she couldn’t just believe it. Laura and Marina were lying.


    She turned to the pair and scolded them again, “Couldn’t you two troublemakers stop sowing discord?


    How can you make up such a story?”


    Deep down, she didn’t want to believe it. The thought of the story being true in any way scared her a


    lot.


    Even if she wanted to ignore Marco’s contributions to the Bryant family over the years, she couldn’t


    forget when, decades ago, her son,


    Winfred, returned home with this child, entrusting him to her and asking her to take care of him.


    If it was not his own child, whose child was deserving of such protection from Winfred?


    All along, Liza had firmly believed in Winfred being Marco’s father, but now, her perception had been


    shattered.


    If the story was true, then it meant that the Bryant family had been raising someone else’s son for the


    last twenty years! In fact, they had nearly even handed over the family business!


    Liza’s chest started heaving rapidly. Still, she fought against her mind. She just couldn’t ept this new


    story. She could only keep telling herself that this was a scheme that Laura and Marina hade up


    with to deceive her.

    Meanwhile, Marina, seeing that Liza didn’t believe them, pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and said,


    “Grandma, the report is clear. Why are you still deceiving yourself? What’s so good about that bastard


    that you’re bent on being so favorable towards him? Do you want Bryant


    Group to fall into the hands of an outsider?”


    That question struck a nerve with Liza, and it sent her heart aching.

    “Shut up!” she shouted.


    Laura and Marina were not people she could trust, but the Bryant family bloodline was not to be


    messed with!


    Taking a deep breath, Liza grabbed her phone and dialed Marco’s number.


    Candlelight Di


    The turmoil within the Bryant family and the online controversy did not faze Marco. In his perspective, it


    was merely another senseless and futile conflict orchestrated by Laura and Marina.


    In his heart, Loraine stood far above them in significance.


    After sessfully eliminating Keely as a threat, Loraine had started warming up to him. She had even


    agreed to dine with him.


    This dinner was their first formal meeting after their divorce. It was of utmost importance to Marco, and


    he made sure to arrive early at the high-end restaurant they had reserved, organizing everything


    himself.


    Being the prestigious CEO of Bryant Group didn’t stop Marco from handling every minute detail of the


    dinner personally. He handpicked the venue, organized the decor, all with the intention to present


    Loraine with a wless candlelight dinner.


    Upon the delivery of fresh roses to the restaurant, Marco insisted on arranging them himself. The


    blooming roses were full of Life, reminding him of Loraine’s lips.
