Chapter 1316

Laura had anticipated such a twist.

Overwhelmed, Marina glanced at Jefferson pleadingly, but he avoided her gaze, his features clouded. He even

suggested, “Mr. Bryant, | was misled by Marina's nonsense earlier. Given she holds no shares, her presence here

is indeed inappropriate. I'll arrange for someone to escort her out.”

Jefferson’s abrupt change of stance led to a sardonic smile playing on

Marco's face as he silently agreed to Jefferson’s proposal.

Before she could react, Marina, her eyes wide in disbelief, was led away by two burly security guards.

discussions concerning the company’s future.

Observing the situation, Carl tactfully shut the door behind him, providing the duo with sprivacy.

In the conference room, Loraine and Marco found themselves sitting opposite each other, enveloped by silence

After a while, it was Marco who shattered the stillness. He queried,

“What brings you here?”

Loraine, displaying no signs of hesitation, responded with quiet confidence, “I... | couldn’t rest until | saw you. So

time, all for the sake of helping him.

Feeling that words of appreciation weren't enough, Marco, on the spur of the moment, embraced Loraine.

This embrace was pure, free of hidden intentions. Loraine, taken aback for a second, didn’t resist. She heard

Marco's voice, soft and close to her ear.

“Loraine, even though | always said | could manage everything by myself... The fact that you were ready to

supportand stand up for me... madehappy.”

Loraine hesitated briefly, then reciprocated the hug, gently stroking his back and letting a smile play on her Lips.

She shared the sfeelings.

In the past, every tshe geared up to tackle situations solo, Marco would show up out of the blue and share

the load, leaving her feeling grateful and ecstatic.
