Unfortunately, he had been ousted as CEO of Bryant Group before she even had the chance to bring


    the matter to him.


    It was at this point that Marco suddenly realized that the project no longer had anything to do with him


    since he was no longer CEO and he let out a wry chuckle at the irony of it all.

    “Anyway, I’m still very grateful that you took the time to bring me here,” he shrugged. “But don’t worry;


    as long as the new owner of


    Bryant Group isn’t foolish, she will agree to your proposal.”


    Loraine felt quite ufortable with that statement.

    Now that the Bryant family had kicked Marco out, there was no one else that would be in charge apart


    from Marina. Without Marco in charge,


    Loraine had no intention of continuing her partnership with Bryant


    Group and neither was she willing to share her ideas with them.


    Just then, all of a sudden, the street vendors gathered and started pping in apuse.


    Loraine and Marco were both puzzled. They turned to look around, and everywhere they turned, they


    saw vendors apuding.


    They didn’t understand why this was going on.


    A middle-aged man standing close to them suddenly said with a happy smile, “You really made


    everyone’s day by teaching that father and daughter a lesson!”


    “That girl actually grew up on our street,” another person said. “Her father rented out several properties


    to us for our businesses. He’s more ruthless than andlord. We often experienced power outages and


    water cutoffs, and they even had the audacity to Look down on us!”


    Another person spat on the ground and said indignantly, “They both came from humble backgrounds.


    The father got rich from the demolitionpensation and started showing off. And his daughter… that


    one has nothing but a bad temper and rude behaviour!”


    It was evident that the resentment towards the Shaw family had been building up for a long time. Now,


    it had all burst out, and everyone was praising Loraine for teaching them a lesson.


    This made Loraine feel a little embarrassed. If it hadn’t been for the fact that the Shaws had provoked


    her, she wouldn’t have known that there were such oppressive people on this street.


    The vendors kept reminiscing with one another about the exploits of the


    Shaws, creating a warm and Lively atmosphere but not a noisy one. Some of the older vendors who


    were near Loraine sighed, “So, you’re the CEO of Universe Group. Ah, this street used to be much


    dirtier and messier, but thanks to Universe Group and Bryant Group, our conditions have improved a


    lot. We can now rent shops at reasonable prices and earn some money to support our families. You are


    all kind-hearted people!”


    One of the men even nearly went down on his knees in gratitude as he said to Loraine, “If it weren’t for


    your help with this ce, I wouldn’t even be able to make a Living and feed my family.”


    Loraine quickly stopped him from kneeling down and then she went ahead to address the crowd, “I’m


    ttered by all your praises. Actually, I’m just a businessperson doing my best to create mutually


    beneficial opportunities.”


    Having seen how the Bryant family had given up theirpany’s reputation just for the sake of


    protecting family assets, Loraine couldn’t help but feel emotional as she looked at these sincere


    ordinary people. She turned her head to look at Marco and she saw that he was also deeply moved.


    This heartfelt gratitude was something he had never encountered before.


    He and Loraine usually dealt with multimillion or even billion-dor deals, ying mind games with


    competitors, and even being cautious around their own partners.
