Chapter 90
“You asked for it. Besides, the cold wind will do you good. It’ll help sober you up.”
After saying that, Marco drove away.
Slater was left standing alone, shivering in the cold wind.
Slater was both anxious and annoyed about losing his car and being abandoned by his friends.
He let out an angry roar. This was all Loraine’s fault.
“Loraine, just wait and see. You better stay out of my way, or I’ll teach you a Lesson!”
A few days later, reports of Universe Group’s cooperation with the government began to spread. The stock price of Universe Group soared, and Loraine’s fame skyrocketed, too.
Soon, people found out about Loraine’s past.
Loraine had been abandoned by Marco. After that, she not only joined forces with his business rival but also successfully took away his project.
Such a dramatic story inevitably caused a sensation on the Internet, and it was the trending topic for several days.
Marco received a call from his mother, Laura Bryant.

Irritated, Marco rubbed his temples. “It’s a long story, Mom.”

Laura didn’t believe her son’s words. She firmly believed Marco had given the smart city project to Loraine.
Marco knew explaining it to her was pointless. “Mom, this is business, not a game. The project is now Loraine’s. How can I get it back from her?”
“Why not?” Laura asked coldly. “The bitch has got a lot of benefits from you in the past three years of your marriage. There’s nothing wrong with asking her to return the project to you. Besides, who knows if she has taken any valuables from our family after you divorced?”
She paused, her eyes widening in horror.
“No, I have to check it now!”
