NovelOnlineHow did Jefferson unearth this buried secret?
With Marco
Only the Bryant family was privy to the truth about Marco's birth out of wedlock, and it was a certainty that
Laura and Liza had no intentions of broadcasting such information.
Laura’s inquisitive look promptly settled on Marina.
Marina's eyes sunk guiltily to the floor, steering clear of Laura's piercing gaze. Witnessing this, an understanding
washed over Laura. It must have been Marina who inadvertently revealed it at the banquet!
Regardless, criticizing her now would serve no purpose. Furthermore, this revelation might not necessarily have

Laura chose to confront Jefferson directly, “What's your next move, Mr.
Foster?”
Noticing her change in stance, Jefferson broke into a satisfied smirk.
He scoffed, “That ungrateful Marco has lost touch with his roots after a few years as CEO. He shows no gratitude
at all! The Bryant Group belongs to the Bryant family. How dare an illegitimate child compete with the rightful
heir?”
His words struck a chord in Laura, provoking a heated response,
“Precisely!”
Jefferson further fueled Laura’s anger, stating, “Historically, children born out of wedlock held no status. It was
your generosity,
Mrs. Bryant, that prevented his expulsion. The Bryant Group is no small venture. It deserves a rightful heir, not a
wolf in sheep's clothing with dubious origins. Marco not only forgets your benevolence, but he also suppresses
and torments you. It's intolerable, even from an outsider’s perspective!”

His words resonated with both Laura and Marina, stirring their memories of Marco's torment, and they nodded in
agreement.

Forgetting her culpability in revealing the secret, Marina said in indignation, “Exactly! What rights does Marco, an
illegitimate child, have?”
Maintaining a composed demeanor, Laura posed her question to Jefferson,
“What's your proposal, Mr. Foster? | will do all in my power, provided it’s within my reach.”
“Since you are being upfront, I'll be the same. The reason you and
Marina are oppressed by Marco is because of your past leniency. You should regain control of Bryant Group and
make Marco realize who the true heir is!” Jefferson Laughed. “As long as you dare to challenge
Marco, I'll be there for you. This way, you'll reclaim your positions, perhaps even ascend to higher ones.”
The idea of competing with Marco for control over the Bryant Group left
Marina agape in astonishment.
