Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1139

So, when Marco expressed his intention to cut ties with Keely, he really meant it? Keely happened to return home at this juncture, but he did not offer her any assistance.

Klein, who was standing nearby, regarded Loraine with concern. He attempted to discern Keely's identity from Leopold, saying with an uneasy smile, "Professor, may I ask who this lady is?"

Clearly, Leopold was unaware of the tension between them. He introduced

Keely cheerfully, "This is Keely Haywood, one of my students. She's extremely gifted in architectural design, so I brought her back this time. Incidentally, she's also from Vagow. I'm sure you young folks have plenty to discuss. Miss Torres, you should converse with her."

Leopold was renowned for nurturing talent in his industry. Upon hearing

Angela's Library

Klein's introduction, he took a Liking to Loraine.

However, he soon noticed the oddity between Loraine and Keely.

Observing their fixed stares, Leopold inquired, "Do you two know each other?"

Gracefully, Keely approached Loraine and answered with a smile, "Yes,

Professor. I didn't expect to bump into an old acquaintance here."

Adjusting her demeanor, Loraine scoffed, "Indeed, quite a coincidence."

Though they hadn't seen each other in some time, Keely's deceitful air still agitated Loraine.

Keely haughtily held her head high, as if triumphantly returned. She taunted and sneered, "Loraine, are you shocked?"

Maintaining a faux smile, Loraine feigned surprise and retorted, "I'm genuinely shocked that someone who can't even distinguish building materials could join Professor Zizka's team."

A slight frown appeared on Leopold's face. Although his architectural prowess wasn't geared towards social interaction, even he could sense the animosity between his adored student and Loraine. "Miss Torres, what do you imply?" he asked.

Maintaining her smile, Loraine answered, "Oh, nothing. It's just that

Miss Haywood once advised me against using a new type of foam concrete in my design. It appeared she wasn't aware of the incredible utility of the new concrete."

Keely's smile hardened, her eyes pleading towards Leopold.

Leopold, predisposed to his student, began to frown upon hearing

Loraine's opposition to Keely. He interpreted Loraine as an arrogant individual belittling others. He regarded Loraine sternly.

"Miss Torres, it's true that Keely Lacks experience. Not being familiar with all construction materials is understandable. However, she has a remarkable talent for design," he defended.

Upon hearing this, Keely stated confidently, "Also, Professor Zizka accepted me as a student because he acknowledged my talent, not because of my knowledge about specialized materials."
