Marina was about to retort, but Laura tugged her back and stered a feigned smile on her face as she


    addressed Loraine, “Since you and your grandfather have sought treatment at our hospital, we won’t


    create any difficulties. But as for banishing Marco, that doesn’t involve you, does it?”


    Loraine held her ground, standing protectively in front of Marco, and took a step forward. Her voice was


    frosty as she countered, “Who do you think you are to banish him?”


    “It’s not your concern, Loraine. We’re merely showing respect to your grandfather. If you believe we’re


    intimidated by you, then we won’t hold back!”


    Laura’s sanctimonious demeanor caused Loraine’s brows to crease even more.


    At this juncture, Liza, who had maintained silence all this while, finally chimed in. With a weary nce


    at Marco, she stated, “Marco,


    I’m giving you leeway. We won’t banish you. You can depart of your own ord. However, you should


    willingly resign from the position of CEO of the Bryant Group. As for tonight’s events, I will keep them


    under wraps.”


    What?


    Loraine almost thought she had misheard.


    Not only was Liza siding with Laura and Marina, but she was also demanding Marco to voluntarily


    resign as CEO of the Bryant Group!


    I


    A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y


    .


    Your Side


    Loraine responded indignantly, “Mrs. Bryant, I’m astounded that even after all these years, your


    dictatorial and irrational tendencies persist! You Leveraged Marco to rescue the Bryant Group from the


    brink of insolvency, and now that it has flourished, you intend to expel him?


    It appears age has caused you to disregard all norms of propriety!”


    Liza’s cheeks quivered with wrath.


    “Loraine, you have no right to interfere! The Bryant Group is an asset of the Bryant family, and it’s not


    your concern as a Torres family member!”


    Unintimidated, Loraine countered with a sarcastic retort, “If that’s your perspective, then allow me to


    remind you that I currently own 1% of the shares in the Bryant Group. Also, not all shareholders are


    Bryants, correct? Are you suggesting that we, as shareholders, don’t even possess the right to


    propose? The privilege of expression within the Bryant Group seems exceptionally rare, doesn’t it?”


    Upon hearing this barbedment, Liza’s chest swelled with rage. She gritted her teeth and coldly


    scoffed, “Your tongue is as sharp as ever.


    Are you aware that even your grandfather wouldn’t dare address me in such a manner?”

    Loraine parried, “My grandfather simply chose not to waste his breath on you. If you’re eager to be


    reprimanded by him, I can ring him up right now. I assure you that he would scold you far more


    severely than


    I ever could.”


    Liza was left speechless, her face fluctuating between shades of blue and purple, as she was unable to


    formte a counter.
