Goodbye, My Love

Marina’s face flushed with humiliation as she retorted angrily, “Marco, you’re blind to what’s good for you! It is now public knowledge that you are a lowly bastard. You’ve not only offended the Bryant family, you’ve also been expelled from the Bryant Group. Who do you think would dare hire you now? I’m offering you a lifeline, but if you’re too arrogant to grasp it, then prepare to wallow at the bottom for the rest of your life!”

Marco questioned with calm defiance, “What nonsense are you spouting?

The Universe Group isn’t afraid of the Bryant family. I’m currently with Loraine, and my life is far easier than it was at the Bryant

Group.”

There was a trace of pride and satisfaction in his otherwise indifferent voice.

Hearing Loraine’s name sparked a surge of anger in Marina.

“Marco, are you truly content with being Loraine’s kept man and living off her for the rest of your life?”

Much to her astonishment, Marco chuckled, “That’s precisely what I want.”

Marina’s face twisted with frustration. She couldn’t provoke him with her taunts, and her efforts to rile him were in vain. Instead, she found herself consumed by her own rage. Before she could spit out another retort, Marco ended the call.

Marina screamed in frustration, “Who does he think he is? Does he fancy himself as something extraordinary? I, the distinguished daughter of the Bryant family, personally offered that illegitimate child an opportunity to return, and he had the audacity to hang up on me!

The janitor couldn’t help but think that Marina appeared far more uncouth compared to Marco. However, fearing her phone might be the victim of Marina’s fury, she quickly asked for it back and hurriedly exited.

Feeling deflated, Marina turned anxiously to Laura.

“Mom, what should we do now? If Marco doesn’t return, will Grandma strip away my shares?

I can’t return to those days of Living at someone’s mercy!”

Laura’s expression hardened as a thought struck her. “Marco isn’t in the company right now. How does he know about the Bryant Group’s troubles and that your grandmother wants you to bring him back? Unless he has a hand in all this!”

Marina was skeptical.

“But Marco is just an outsider now. Does he really hold that kind of power?”

“Who knows? But if we can pin the blame for the Bryant Group’s plummeting stock price on him, once your grandma finds out, she won’t welcome him back, and our shares won’t be jeopardized,” Laura declared resolutely.

Marina repeatedly nodded, acknowledging the wisdom in Laura’s words.

Not long after, several online news outlets started featuring an explosive headline that quickly topped the trending list: “Stunning

Insider Scoop on the Tumbling Stock Price of The Bryant Group!”
