Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1158

Nonetheless, Marco maintained his composure and told Leopold, "I can personally guarantee Loraine's trustworthiness based on the reputation of the Bryant Group." Leopold, upon seeing Marco's disregard for Keely, responded with a disapproving shake of his head.

He Let out a chilling sigh.

"Now that you won't Listen to my opinion on

Loraine, there's not much left for me to say. Drive me back to the hotel, Keely. I'm drained."

Keely wished she could stay longer with Marco. However, knowing that antagonizing Leopold would be disastrous, she agreed and aided him to his feet.

Marco found himself filled with puzzlement, questioning if Leopold was out of his mind.

"Hold on, Professor Zizka!" Marco called out, trying to catch up with him.

Leopold's expression remained stern. With a wave of his hand, he indicated to Marco that he had no interest in hearing any further justification.

Keely, contrastingly, kept stealing glances back at Marco. She whispered something to Leopold before heading back to Marco's side.

She offered Marco a kind gaze, hinting at her affection towards him.

"Don't fret, Marco. I'll do my utmost to sway him.”

However, Marco was well aware of Keely's true nature. He inquired with a detached expression, "Is that so? I still vividly recall what you did to Loraine earlier. It's hard to believe you'd be willing to assist her now." Keely's face turned white, and she broke into tears instantly.

"I'm not doing this to help her, Marco. I'm doing this for you. I would do anything for you, even things I may not particularly want to."

Marco's brow furrowed as he took in Keely's pitiful countenance.

"I accept that my past actions were wrong. I served my time in prison.

Now, I'm studying under Professor Zizka in an attempt to start anew.

Will you give me a chance to change, Marco? For the sake of Jorge..."

Marco was reminded of a vow he made to his dear friend Jorge many years ago upon hearing Keely's plea. He recognized that he wasn't callous enough to turn her away.

In the end, he agreed to accept Keely's help.

As Keely walked away, Marco observed her with a frosty expression. He hoped she was genuinely committed to helping him persuade Leopold.

He resolved to uncover whether Keely played any role in Leopold's discord with Loraine.
