She was well aware that given Aldo’s fiery temperament, Loraine’s statement rang true.
Upon realizing she had been outwitted verbally by Loraine, Liza’s expression hardened. She
deliberately adopted a haughty stance once again.
“You naive girl, I’ll overlook your ignorance. The Bryant Group bears our family name because it’s our
family’s enterprise. Regarding share ownership, the Bryant family possesses over 60% of the shares.
Other shareholders can’t hold a candle to us.”

Marina, daydreaming about how all those shares would soon belong to her, eagerly joined in, “Exactly!
Besides, Marco is nothing more than an illegitimate child, his origins a mystery. He masqueraded as
the
Bryant family’s young master, reaping the benefits for over twenty years. Our family has been
exceedingly generous to him. Rather than expressing gratitude for this benevolence, he dared to
meddle with the family business and usurp the CEO position!”
Gazing at Marina’s detestable expression, Loraine felt revulsion. The
Bryants seemed to have forgotten how they had implored Marco for assistance, crying and begging.
However, Marina’s words caused her rm once again.
Illegitimate child? Masqueraded as the Bryant family’s young master?
Casting a nce at the unmoving and unresponsive man beside her,
Loraine understood that Marco would only adopt such a demeanor if he had received a massive shock.
At that moment, Laura smiled slyly and chimed in, “Loraine, you’re unaware, aren’t you? Were you
under the impression that Marco was some sort of Bryant family heir, the CEO of the Bryant Group,
and an ideal match for you? Well, that will change soon! This illegitimate child isn’t even a member of
the Bryant family. Your attempts to defend him are futile. He’s merely a mixed-blood child of unknown
parentage!”
The words were piercing, each one seeming to strike directly into
Marco’s ears. His eyes fluttered slightly, a minute gesture that only
Loraine, standing closest to him, noticed.

Loraine’s eyes widened in shock. Although she had seen online spection and harbored her own
doubts, hearing the usations aloud was still a jolt to her system.
Could the online rumors be urate?
However, Loraine was unwilling to ept the Bryant family’s version of events. She remained frozen
for a moment, and then pivoted towards
Marco, peering into his vacant, numb gaze. Treading lightly, she queried, “Marco, is there any truth to
what they’re iming?”
Marco’s eyes lifted and met hers. His usually vibrant, captivating gaze was now as lifeless as a
stagnant pond.
He had heard her clearly, but instead of offering a response, he remained silent and slowly shut his
eyes.
His silence was an admission!
For a fleeting moment, Loraine’s thoughts ground to a halt. How could such a dignified man be
compelled to publicly ept that he was not only unrted by blood to the Bryant family but also an
illegitimate child of questionable origins?
