Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1160

The primary reason Leopold refrained from naming Loraine directly had to do with his own standing. He didn't want his words to irreparably damage someone's future. Despite viewing Loraine as morally deficient, he hoped to grant her another chance.

Simultaneously, he wanted Loraine to comprehend the seriousness of the situation before it spiraled out of control. He yearned for her to voluntarily admit her mistakes, step down from the project, and distance herself from Marco.

Since he refrained from naming the plagiarist, internet users started making their own connections and recognizing the plagiarism. Designers began voicing their disdain for plagiarism across social media platforms. When Keely saw the news online, she was torn between feelings of elation and fear.

She knew all too well who the real plagiarist was.

Keely understood that waiting idly for Loraine to stumble upon evidence proving her innocence was not an option. She needed to stoke the flames further to confirm Loraine's guilt.

Now that she saw a golden opportunity to bring Loraine down once and for all, she must ensure that Loraine couldn't flip the situation to her advantage!

That night, Keely hailed a taxi and headed towards a particular building.

She found herself at the doorstep of the Bryants' house.

Keely was invited inside, although she could sense the tension hanging in the air.

Upon seeing Marina, she couldn't help but say, "Marina, it's been ages!

Have you missed me?"

Marina responded with a disinterested smile.

Liza had ordered Marina and Laura to stay at home and not go out since they had made the secret about Marco's birth public. Grounding them was a kind of punishment.

Marina hadn't shopped for designer clothes or visited the salon to keep her hair Looking fresh in what felt Like forever. She was slowly losing her sanity in this enforced isolation, feeling like a rose that had lost its beauty.

Yet, seeing Keely, a wave of self-satisfaction washed over her.

Marina had once admired Keely, seeing in her a grace and nobility that she believed Marco cherished. She had envisioned Keely marrying Marco and ousting Loraine in due course. However, Keely's constant blunders and subsequent incarceration had defied her expectations. Even Marco had forsaken her.

Marina struggled to conceal her dislike for Keely, but social etiquette demanded she maintain a polite demeanor. With a slight stumble in her words, she mustered, "Keely, when did you come back? And why wasn't I informed of your release from jail?"

At that moment, Laura descended the staircase. Unlike Marina, she showed no semblance of politeness towards Keely. She addressed Marina dismissively, "Not everyone deserves a welcome in our house, Marina. Kindly ask her to leave. I fear her presence might bring us bad fortune."

Unfazed by their contempt, Keely responded with a soft smile, "Mrs.

Bryant, Marina, it's delightful to see you both once more. I came back as a student of Professor Zizka. My mentor has been given the important task of leading the redesign of the White Cloud Airport in Vagow, and he has brought me along. I visited because I wished to express my gratitude for your past kindness. However, it seems that you're too busy to entertain me. Do not worry, I will take my leave immediately." Laura and Marina exchanged surprised Looks.
