Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 412

Laura sighed. She had no choice but to come clean. "Marco, please do me a favor."

Marco was not surprised at all. He asked indifferently, "What happened to Marina this time?"

Since he was a child, every time his mother was nice to him, it was either because of money or Marina. He had become used to it over the years.

Laura looked at him ingratiatingly and said, "The Cruz family is going to hold a banquet very soon. I want you to take your sister with you."

Marco knew that his mother was doing this because she wanted Marina to marry Grady, but he didn't want to get involved in it.

"I'm not interested. Let her go there by herself."

Red with embarrassment, Laura said, "Marina doesn't have a good reputation nowadays. She needs someone to back her up. Marco, you are her brother. You should help her." Marco scoffed. "Who is to blame for her bad reputation? Marina created this mess herself."

With that, he went straight to his study, ignoring Laura's response.

"Wait, Marco!" Laura was very annoyed, but she needed Marco's help, so she had to keep pushing. Thinking quickly, she decided to play her trump card.

"Are you not going to attend? Loraine is now the heir of a rich family. The Cruz family will certainly invite her."

Marco came to a halt immediately.

Loraine was among the guests invited to the Cruz family's banquet.

She was, unfortunately, utterly uninterested in these upper-class social banquets.

She didn't intend to go. However, Grady called her that evening.

"Loraine, will you attend the banquet my family is hosting?"

Grady's voice was full of expectation.

Loraine said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I'm not sure if I'll be free."

"Are you sure you'll be busy or that you don't want to attend? I'm sorry if it's because of what my mother did. I promise it will never happen again. Loraine, I'm really hoping you'll be able to attend the banquet. Its theme is appreciation. I believe you would be intrigued,"

Grady said sincerely.

Loraine suddenly felt she couldn't refuse him after thinking of the dejected expression on his face.

On top of that, she was quite interested in the banquet's theme: appreciation.

Finally, Loraine agreed.
