Marina was momentarily silenced by Loraine’s bitingeback. After a beat, she managed to shoot


    back, “Are you so sure you can deliver on your ims? Who knows, I might prove to be a far superior


    CEO than you ever were!”


    Loraine merely scoffed. Her aplishments spoke for themselves; she had no need topete with


    someone as naive as Marina.


    However, Marina seemed only further incensed, slinging more insults and even pointing an usatory


    finger at Loraine.


    “What are you so proud of, Loraine? Don’t fool yourself into thinking that being epted back by the


    Torres family elevates you. It doesn’t erase the fact that you were raised in the sticks! Ha! A country

    “Marco, how dare you hurt my daughter? You insolent man, how dare you!”


    Marco’s bloodshot eyes flickered as he cast a cold nce at Laura.


    His intense gaze silenced Laura, causing her to momentarily choke on her words. Despite their


    newfound assurance, an innate fear of Marco lingered.


    Laura instinctively stepped back with Marina, then proimed defiantly, “You’ve harmed Marina, and

    “Marco, enough is enough. Stop now,” Liza suddenlymanded, her voice resolute. “Leave, Leave


    this ce and leave the Bryant Group behind.”
