Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1299

Marina pleaded pitifully, "Brother, I realize my mistake. Please grant me another chance!"

But Marco had heard enough of her deceit and cut her off sharply, "I've afforded you plenty of chances, but you failed to value them. You weren't invited to tonight's banquet. Leave now, and we'll discuss this later."

Marco hadn't anticipated Marina's interruption at the event. Typically, she and Laura would still be under house arrest, per Liza's orders.

However, tonight's gathering was a celebration, and he had no intention of dampening the mood. He merely wished to dismiss Marina temporarily.

After a brief pause, he added, "Without my authorization, you are forbidden from leaving the house!"

The unpredictability of this troublemaker was a risk. Though Marco was loath to address her, he had to factor in the reputation of the Bryant Group.

As for Colette, Marco didn't spare her a second glance. He summoned security to have the extraneous party removed.

Security arrived promptly and, at Marco's gesture, began to escort

Colette away. She resisted, screaming, "By what right are you ejecting me? I possess an invitation!"

Marco's brow furrowed, and he finally deigned to glance at her, as if recalling her existence. He spoke dismissively.

"As of now, your invitation is null and void. All ties between the Bryant Group and the

Moreau Group are severed. Future collaborations are off the table."

Colette's face turned ashen, the picture of despair, as she submitted to security's removal.

In that moment, Colette deeply regretted entangling herself with

Marina. How could she have trusted someone as blatantly inept as

Marina!

Following Colette's departure, whispers rippled through the crowd of guests. Wishing to avoid becoming a topic of gossip, Marco took

Loraine's hand, preparing to make their exit.

In regards to Marina, Marco, considering Liza's feelings, chose not to have security escort her out. Instead, he cast her a frosty look, a clear directive for her to remove herself.

Just then, a figure obstructed their path. Bella, her face adorned with a pleasant smile, said, "Mr. Bryant, Miss Torres, I was the first to voice my skepticism and disbelief towards Marina and Colette. I've always held tha these two individuals are unreliable, so..."

However, Marco paid her no mind, leaning towards Loraine to speak to her, completely overlooking Bella as he moved past her.

"Some shareholders expressed a desire to meet you. Allow me to take you to them," Marco addressed Loraine, not sparing Bella a single word.
