Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1231

CEO. These feats are commendable in their own right. As for Miss

Ariadna, as you mentioned, what has she achieved?"

Listening to Marco singing her praises, Loraine felt a flush of bashfulness mixed with immeasurable joy.

He vividly remembered their shared journey.

Tillie found herself at a loss for words, but managed to mutter, "Miss

Ariadna has been ill and hospitalized for some time. Yet, her artistic talent has earned her acclaim from several artists. If she were healthy, she would certainly outshine Loraine!"

Marco snorted at this, his words slicing through the air. Although usually reserved, he didn't hold back when it came to defending

Loraine.

"So she hasn't accomplished anything? You put so much emphasis on family status and reputation, boasting about this Cruz family... Are those praises from artists genuine, or are they simply pandering to your Cruz family?"

Tillie was left dumbstruck, her face cycling through shades of red and purple. She found herself unable to respond. Earlier, she had wielded the same argument against Loraine, and now, Marco was throwing it back at her!

With a calm demeanor, Marco continued, "In terms of talent and capability, Loraine surpasses this Miss Ariadna a hundredfold. Those who solely ride on their family's reputation should refrain from appearing in public to save themselves from humiliation!"

As Loraine listened to his sharply worded defense, she was about to intervene when Tillie, angered by his derogatory remarks about Ariadna, shot Marco a fierce look.

Just then, Marco reached Loraine, bending over to cast a tender Look at her. His face was sharp and commanding, radiating a chilly aura in the dim hospital room. Tillie was taken aback by the sight, rubbing her eyes in disbelief.

ANGELA's LIBRARY

She had dismissed him earlier, but now she couldn't help but give him a second look.

Sensing her disrespectful stare, Marco's expression grew cold and stern. His strikingly handsome features stared back at Tillie.

Tillie's face shifted, and she exclaimed, "Mr. Cruz..."

Marco's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, and Loraine mirrored his surprise.

What did Tillie mean? Why was she calling him that way?

Did she find Marco familiar?

Could she have mistaken him for a member of the Cruz family from

Zodiac?

Loraine raised an eyebrow at Marco, asking, "When did you forge a connection with the Cruz family of Zodiac?"

This man certainly had a knack for keeping secrets. Loraine hadn't forgotten his prior clandestine collaboration with the Solar Company.
