Lillie subconsciously shivered under his piercing gaze. But her ignorance kept her fearless, she saw


    Marco as nothing more than a gigolo. So ignoring the warning bells at the back of her head, she


    refused to back down.


    “Why do I have to apologize? I’m only saying the truth! You can ask around the vige. There’s no one


    who doesn’t know what sort of person she is. You’re good-looking for sure, but you certainly have


    terrible judgment!”


    Marco’s face wentpletely dark as he heard this. Had it not been for the fact that she was a woman,


    he would have had her lifeless on the ground by now.


    Loraine did not want to cause issues in such a ce. However, she couldn’t stand by while Marco was


    disrespected. Her tone was curt as she addressed Lillie, “You won’t apologize? Then remain there in


    the mud. Don’t bother getting up.”


    Hearing Loraine’s warning, Lillie’s rage red even more. She retorted, “Who do you think you are,


    threatening me? If I choose to get up, what can you do to stop me?”


    As she attempted to rise, a pair of women’s shoes suddenly advanced towards her hand, startling her


    into retreat even before being touched.


    Loraine’s expression remained impassive, neither haughty nor triumphant. It was as if she had


    absentmindedly squashed an ant.


    Lillie was fuming. She clenched her teeth and tried to stand up once more, only to be repelled again.


    She feared Loraine might actually kick or stomp on her.


    After several futile attempts, Lillie ended up sprawled on the ground like a defeated bug. Previously,


    she had been the one tormenting


    ninjanovel


    Loraine, but now the tables had turned.


    “Don’t push your luck, Loraine!” Lillie hollered, her eyes zing with fury. Unable to tolerate it anymore,


    she lunged at Loraine’s feet, trying to topple her, regardless of the risk of injury to herself.


    However, the moment she made contact with Loraine, Marco quickly pulled


    Loraine into his arms and repelled Lillie with a swift kick. Unlike


    Loraine’s earlier intimidation, his actions bore real threat.


    Lillie fell heavily onto the ground. Looking up, she saw Marco’s face etched with anger, a countenance


    that suggested he could kill without hesitation. She recoiled in terror.


    Bnced within Marco’s embrace, Loraine nced at Lillie with a mixture of disdain and cold


    amusement. Then she crouched down in front of her, her expressionced with mock sympathy.


    “Do you still consider me the orphan you used to torment? Lillie


    Fisher, I didn’t return today to seek revenge, and frankly, you’re not worth my time. So, if you cease to


    trouble me, I’m willing to let this slide.”

    Individuals like Lillie only knew how to strut and oppress in a small vige. Loraine refused to squander


    her time on such people.


    Lillie froze instinctively, but then abruptly burst into a fit of hysterical sobbing.


    “Loraine, you brazen harlot! You think you’re superior just because you’ve ensnared a few men? You


    dare to bring him here to intimidate me, huh? Just you wait, I’ll get Judie to set this right!”


    Loraine found it amusing that Lillie still nned to enlist Judie’s help, just as she did when they were


    children. Conversely, Marco’s face darkened, and he demanded sternly, “Judie Cooper? Where is


    she?”
