Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 957

Loraine knew most of them were fence-sitters who would flow with the situation.

But what came as a shock to her was that Marco was in attendance too.

She looked at him in surprise.

"What brings you here, Marco?"

Marco remained nonchalant, emanating a strong aura that stood out among the elderly men.

Some wavering directors avoided eye contact and played dumb. However,

Reynolds stepped up and spoke for Marco.

"The bidding was a joint venture between Bryant Group and Universe Group. Since there's an issue with the project, isn't it normal for him to be here to address it together?"

Loraine sneered.

She suspected that someone on the board had called the shareholders' meeting with the intention of making things difficult for her.

Otherwise, they would have informed Cayson instead of Marco.

Loraine suspected that the board assumed she was not on good terms with

Marco, so they tried to use him against her.

However, Marco saw through the directors' intentions and stood up and pulled out a chair for Loraine.

"This bidding is a joint venture between Loraine and me. If something goes wrong, I have to take responsibility too."

Reynolds' expression changed. Loraine was shocked but said nothing

It turned out that Marco had come to support her.

However, since it was an internal matter of Universe Group, Loraine knew that she had to rely on herself to convince the rest of the board.

Loraine sat down and said to Marco, "I appreciate your kindness, but I would rather handle this on my own."

Marco frowned but respected her decision and nodded.

At the start of the meeting, Reynolds signaled to Duran, who was sitting next to him. Duran then asked Loraine in a strange tone,

"Loraine, the commercial district project was a good program, but the company's image has been tarnished due to your personal reasons. You need to clarify the issue."

Reynolds said with a friendly smile, "Loraine, we've known each other for years. We wouldn't be so tough on you if it weren't for the scandal. But you've damaged the company's interests, so an explanation is necessary. Gossip can be damaging. You know that you can't just invite your friend to bid for the project, right?"
