Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 861

Upon hearing the announced results, Marco exhaled a breath he didn't know he had been holding. He cast a tender glance at Loraine, his heart easing in her presence. Ashton, however, couldn't contain his outrage. "I object! Something's off with this investigation results!"

Brady regarded Ashton with a serious expression.

"On what grounds do you object? Do you question the integrity of the investigation team, or do you possess other evidence?"

Ashton's teeth clenched, and he angrily gestured toward Loraine and

Rowan.

"There's a photo of the pair in an intimate embrace. How is that not enough? Yet the investigation team claims they weren't involved. Isn't that a glaring discrepancy?" Laura, regaining her composure, swiftly stood up to corroborate

Ashton's statement. "Yes! I took that photo myself. I witnessed their embrace. It's undeniable! The investigation team can't shield them!"

Brady's brow furrowed at her words.

Marco's visage darkened when he learned Laura was behind the photo, casting an icy stare her way.

Feeling a chill from his gaze, Laura shuddered involuntarily. But

Ashton's presence reassured her, and she steadied herself. If Ashton could topple Rowan, the tide would turn in their favor.

Once Ashton secured the commander position, she would no longer fear

Marco.

Bolstered by this thought, Laura straightened her spine and steeled her nerves.

"Am I mistaken? The investigation team ignores blatant evidence and maintains there's no improper relationship. Are they not protecting them?"

The audience began to murmur amongst themselves.

"I think Laura has a point. The photo is genuine. How can they explain a man and woman embracing in private?"

"Moreover, there were rumors about Rowan and Loraine before. Now there's irrefutable proof. It must be true."

As the chatter intensified, Brady intervened, urging the crowd to remain calm.

"Everyone, the investigation team will not harbor anyone!"

Laura scoffed, her face etched with disdain. Marina rolled her eyes, equally skeptical.
