Goodbye, My Love

Chapter 1140

Loraine’s expression darkened.

Observing this, Keely becincreasingly smug. She snorted,

“Naturally, | can’t compete with you. After all, you can leverage your family resources to advance construction

projects. Regardless of project quality, your family’s wealth makes everyone consider you a construction

genius!”

Maintaining a frigid demeanor, Loraine shot back, “I'm not as skilled as you. You managed to evade punishment

even with a criminal record.

And you've won over an esteemed professor. You're quite impressive!”

Keely stiffened, anger flashing in her eyes at Loraine.

Turning to Leopold, Loraine asked, in what seemed to be a gentle reminder, “Professor Zizka, were you aware of

this when you accepted her as your student?”

Nonetheless, Leopold stepped in, “Miss Torres, | am aware of Keely’s past prison sentence. But my stance differs

from others. | value talent. While she made a mistake, | hope we can offer her a chance to start anew.”

Keely breathed a sigh of relief, her head held high in pride and satisfaction.

Upon seeing this, Loraine’s brow furrowed. She hadn't planned to disclose Keely’s wrongdoings against her.

Besides, her acquaintance with Leopold was recent. Presumably, their paths wouldn't cross beyond this

collaboration, so she felt it inappropriate to say much more.

Hence, Loraine ceased her argument. Composing her emotions, she replied with a smile, “I understand. Professor

Zizka, since you trust your student, | won't dwell on it. You must be fatigued from your journey.

I've reserved a private dining room. Please, let's move on to rest and have a meal.”

Leopold finally softened, nodding in agreement. They boarded the car and soon reached a private riverside

restaurant.

Exiting the car, Klein expressed surprise upon seeing the sign.

“The Bliss Restaurant? This is the finest private restaurant in Vagow.

Loraine, your generosity is appreciated!”

The Bliss Restaurant sat alongside the river. It was quaint and modest but renowned for its exceptional cuisine.

Loraine merely smiled in response, just about to invite Leopold inside when she heard Keely’s sarcastic remark.

“Loraine, treating my professor here is quite insincere of you. You know he’s from Dukeland, yet you chose a

local restaurant without considering his palate at all!”

Everyone halted simultaneously, and Klein looked visibly awkward.

Keely turned towards Loraine, radiating satisfaction as she recommended, “You should probably reconsider the

restaurant choice!”

“I do prefer Dukeland’s food,” Leopold confessed to Keely.

Klein's demeanor shifted to unease.
