Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 974

Marco was taken aback and loosened his hold, but his gaze remained fixed on her.

Loraine felt a mix of emotions, torn between being touched and conflicted. "Take it easy. I'm really fine."

Thanks to Marco's swift action, Duran didn't even come close to touching Loraine or her clothes.

However, Loraine couldn't help but wonder if Marco had been keeping a constant eye on her. How else could he have saved her so quickly?

Her feelings were a mix of gratitude and confusion.

Marco scrutinized her from head to toe. Assured that Loraine had not been harmed, the anxiety in his eyes dissipated. He nodded and stood by her side.

Loraine, on the other hand, turned her attention to the others in the room.

A palpable unease settled among the group as their hearts trembled.

They averted their gaze, pretending to be engrossed in other matters.

Those who had previously supported Duran now felt a sense of nervousness, wishing they could become invisible in Loraine's eyes.

Observing their reactions, Loraine sneered and issued a stern warning.

"Ladies and gentlemen, remember that Universe Group will not tolerate anyone jeopardizing the company's interests. Regardless of who they may be, there will be no exceptions when it comes to harsh punishment!" "Certainly, Miss Torres. We will keep that in mind."

Loraine glanced at Reynolds, who pretended to remain composed, and sneered before making her way out of the meeting room.

Marco trailed behind Loraine as they exited the room. Jennie shot

Reynolds a glare before following them.

Reynolds gripped the armrest of his chair tightly, his face reflecting a mix of emotions and conflicting thoughts.

Loraine's glare left him feeling uneasy.

The failure of Duran had served as a wake-up call for Reynolds, making him fully recognize that he could no longer underestimate Loraine's abilities.

He now acknowledged that she possessed a level of cunning and resourcefulness that rivaled even the most experienced individuals.

Did Loraine uncover something about him?

The more Reynolds pondered, the more anxious he became. Disregarding his pride, he hastily left the meeting room.

Luckily, Loraine and the others hadn't gone far and were waiting for the elevator.
