Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 961

Marco had been silent earlier, but it was evident that he was dissatisfied with Loraine's decision. He furrowed his brow and his eyes reflected concern. "Loraine! Even if you want to help Jennie, you shouldn't act so impulsively. Why insist on bearing the consequences? What if Jennie fails?"

Marco didn't care whether Jennie could resolve the issue or not. His concern was only for Loraine.

If Jennie failed, would Loraine truly accept the blame and resign from her position?

He believed there were numerous ways to assist Jennie, and Loraine didn't have to choose the riskiest one.

Noticing the skepticism in Marco's words, Loraine's expression changed.

"Do you also believe that Jennie is nothing more than a useless, wealthy young woman, just Like those people do?" she asked, her tone revealing her disappointment. Marco pursed his Lips and remained silent.

It wasn't that he shared the same view, but rather that Jennie's actions had seemed impulsive and careless.

Loraine felt a pang of frustration. She shrugged off Marco's hand and said, "I don't care what you think, but Jennie is my best friend. I know her better than you do. She may appear casual and uninterested in business, but that doesn't mean she lacks capability. When she puts her mind to something, she becomes more responsible than anyone else."

Observing Loraine's angry expression, Marco's heart softened.

He wasn't concerned with what kind of person Jennie was. What surprised him was Loraine's passionate defense of her best friend.

It was endearing.

Lost in thought, Marco stared at Loraine, his mind in a daze.

That day in Universe Group, Marco's attempt to sway Loraine ended not only in failure but also in sparking her ire.

Upon returning to Bryant Group, Marco's unease persisted, his mind plagued by the Looming wager.

Despite his concerns, he dared not broach the subject with Loraine once more.

He understood Loraine's stubborn streak all too well. When she made a decision, it was set in stone, beyond the influence of anyone else. Persistent nagging would only incur her disdain, and that was a risk

Marco was unwilling to take.

Having already made Herculean efforts to engage Loraine, he was hesitant to stir the waters of their relationship again.

The shadow of this concern loomed over Marco for two agonizing days.

Seeing this, Carl felt compelled to offer some advice. "If you're so worried Jennie will bungle it, why not handle it covertly?"
