Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1319

Marco opened his mouth to speak, but Loraine swiftly stood up, holding up her phone as she said, "I still have some pending matters at my company. As everything on your end seems resolved, I'll be leaving now. Goodbye."

With that, she promptly Left the meeting room

Marco, feeling a mixture of amusement and helplessness, watched as

Loraine's figure disappeared from sight. He held his gaze until she was completely out of view. Then, he leaned back into her chair, absorbing the warmth and fragrance she had left behind.

His foul mood, brought on by the shareholders and Marina and Laura, was somewhat soothed.

Not long after Loraine's departure, Carl knocked and entered the room.

"Mr. Bryant, there's a message from Solar Company. Miss Hoffman saw the news online and is concerned about you. She wishes to speak to you over the phone."

ANGELA's LIBRARY

Marco frowned at the news. Outside of business dealings, he had little desire to interact with Doris. However, rejecting a friend's concern outright would seem rather haughty.

After contemplating for a moment, he agreed to take the call. The moment he answered, Doris's worried voice filled his ears, "Marco, are you alright? Does Solar Company need to step in? I just saw the online news. Do you want me to help smooth things over with the Bryant family?"

Marco rubbed the bridge of his nose, sighing, "No, that's not necessary."

Despite his profound disappointment with Marina and Laura, Liza had shown him kindness, and the fact remained that he was brought up by the

Bryant family. He couldn't ignore this.

He had worked tirelessly to build the Bryant Group to its current state. Regardless of his personal feelings, he didn't want to damage the Bryant family's reputation.

Teaching Marina and Laura a sufficient lesson to ensure they wouldn't cross him again would be enough.

Doris sighed, "You're always like this, appearing cold on the surface but having a soft heart. Well, I won't meddle, but what are your plans now?"

Marco paused for a moment before responding, "We'll see what tricks

Marina and Laura have up their sleeves."

Marco was well aware that Marina and Laura lacked the courage and strategic thinking required to orchestrate these maneuvers on their own. Someone else must be pulling the strings from behind.

The Bryant Group's size and influence inevitably attracted attention, and even he couldn't foresee or deflect every issue. There were likely numerous hidden complications at play.

He intended to follow the trail left by Marina and Laura, find evidence of their collusion with the shareholders, and weed out the root of the problem.

"Doris, there's no need for you to concern yourself with this. If I require assistance from Solar Company, I'll let you know."

Still worried, Doris abruptly asked, "Marco, are you sure you don't need any help? With your past revealed and facing widespread criticism, you must be feeling the pressure. If you need me, I'm willing to abandon everything here to keep you company."
