When he initially discovered that he was the illegitimate child of the


    Bryant family, he hadn’t felt as powerless and shocked as he did now.


    He had always believed that regardless of the circumstances, he was a part of the Bryant family. But


    now he discovered that he had no blood connection with the Bryant family at all.


    Were all his years of efforts for the Bryant family… just a cruel jest?


    Abruptly, Marco remembered everything that had transpired before.


    For the sake of the Bryant family, for upholding the reputation of the


    Bryant Group in Liza’s eyes, he had relinquished so much since his childhood. He grew up like a cold


    automaton, fitted with a “for the


    Bryant Group” cog.


    Through the years, he shouldered these burdens, opposing his own desires, even alienating Loraine to


    the point of inflicting harm, which ultimately led to their divorce.


    Now, these people were informing him that all his actions were futile because he had no ties to this


    family.


    Marco felt a perverse urge to Laugh, but when he attempted to lift the corners of his mouth, he


    discovered his face had petrified.


    So, he ceased attempting to smile. His gaze drifted momentarily before refocusing, settling on the


    victorious Laura and Marina, as well as


    ninjanovel


    Liza.


    For as long as Marco could remember, Liza had always been austere and rigid, scrutinizing him as if


    fearing he wouldmit an error. Yet, she had never regarded him with such alienation as she did


    now.


    In the split second when Liza saw the paternity test report, she aged substantially, trembling as she


    epted the piece of paper that seemed to weigh immensely. She scrutinized it repeatedly, only to


    meet deep disappointment.


    The validity of the report was indisputable, leaving her with no room for self-delusion.


    Following disappointment, ferocious anger welled up within her.

    She had diligently groomed the sessor of the Bryant Group for over two decades, only to uncover


    that he was an illegitimate child of unknown origin! She had been on the verge of bequeathing the


    Bryant


    Group to this illegitimate offspring!


    Detecting Marco’s gaze, Liza countered with an icy stare.


    No wonder Marco’s nasal bridge was more pronounced, and his brow ridge was deeper than Winfred’s.


    His stature was taller, and every aspect of him differed from her son.


    “Marco… Now that the results are public, I won’t borate. Given our past familial rtions, gather


    your belongings and leave. The Bryant family won’t shortchange you financially.”


    Liza felt she was being benevolent and sighed.
