Goodbye, My Love

Marco paused, gently extracted the photo, slipped it into his pocket, and then turned his icy gaze on Marina.

Marina was startled, retreating a step in fear. However, she quickly realized that showing fear would be embarrassing, so she summoned her courage and shot back, “Why are you so menacing? Who do you think you’re glaring at? Marco, do you still think you’re the almighty CEO of

Bryant Group? Accept the truth! We’ve won, and I’m the one in charge here. You, the usurper, better stay as far away as possible!”

Marco pursed his thin lips, his frosty gaze fixed on Marina. Suddenly, he let out a scornful laugh. “If that’s the case, then by all means, relish your role as the CEO of Bryant Group.”

With that, he exited the CEO’s office, Carl trailing hastily behind him.

Just before leaving, Carl cast one last look at Marina. The anger in his eyes had subsided, replaced by pity. The clueless woman didn’t realize that she had utterly provoked Marco, and disaster was looming!

Following the incident, Marco felt no desire to remain at Bryant Group any longer. Accompanied by Carl, he made his way to the parking lot and sent Loraine a message informing her of his whereabouts.

With his head bowed, Carl trailed behind him, consumed with guilt. “Mr.

Bryant, I apologize. This is all my fault… If I hadn’t incited

Marina, she wouldn’t have damaged Miss Torres’ photograph.”

Marco dismissed his concern with a shake of his head, his aura intensifying in iciness.

“It’s not your fault. Marina is to blame.”

Meanwhile, having successfully sold her shares at a profitable rate,

Loraine headed to the parking lot with a smile upon receiving Marco’s message. Yet, she quickly noticed that Marco’s countenance seemed amiss.

Was the man she had toiled to pacify the previous night now in an even graver mood?

Loraine glanced at Carl, standing alongside Marco, and greeted him calmly, “Carl, what happened? Both you and Marco seem upset.”

Caught off guard, Carl struggled to formulate a response. However,

Marco intervened, dismissing her concerns with a casual shake of his head. “It’s nothing.”

Not wanting to delve deeper in Carl’s presence, Loraine sought to distract him. She beamed, sharing her recent triumph, “I managed to sell that 1% of my shares at a great price! Under my pressuring and coaxing, that old man offered twice the acquisition cost!”

Surprised by her revelation, Marco raised an eyebrow, the gloom on his face clearing somewhat.

Jefferson had surpassed their expectations, indicating his firm resolve to acquire Bryant Group.

Grinning mischievously, Loraine added, “Initially, I planned to secure a modest profit and exit. But Jefferson couldn’t resist his greed. I used the threat of selling my shares to Mrs. Bryant to pressure him, and he ended up offering 150 million.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Marco smiled at her ingenuity, praising without hesitation, “Very clever. You handled it exceptionally.”
