Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 987

"Are you still holding a grudge over past events?" he queried dejectedly.

Loraine remained silent, unsure how to respond.

She wasn't angry but was unwilling to re-engage with the Cruz family.

Grady knew what his mother had done was too much, so he didn't dare to force her.

A faint clearing of the throat, and Loraine cheerfully announced,

"Tonight marks the grand bash of both Bryant Group and Universe Group.

Let's put all serious matters aside, shall we? Enjoy the evening. Feel free to reach out to the attendants for any help you may need."

Her manners were impeccable, treating him as an esteemed guest.

Observing her in that state, Marco felt no trace of jealousy whatsoever. In fact, he didn't even harbor any dislike towards Grady anymore.

Loraine had no semblance of interest in Grady!

Among the sea of guests, only he and Loraine were the true stars, the hosts of the event.

Loraine remained clueless to Marco's internal musings, but his unexpected grin left her bewildered, catching the attention of all the female attendees.

Given all guests had arrived, as event hosts, Loraine and Marco were expected to take the stage and address the crowd.

"The project unfolded without a hitch, and it was your efforts that made it possible. You are the true hero of this party."

The clock chimed the time for the address, leaving Loraine no choice but to ascend the stage alone. Marco sat down amongst the crowd, eyes fixated on the radiant woman on stage.

ALL eyes were fixed on Loraine. Whether it was individuals envious of the triumph of the new commercial district or those who held preconceived notions about Loraine, they had no choice but to acknowledge that they were utterly captivated by her presence and demeanor at that moment.

Marco genuinely wished for all the glory to be bestowed upon Loraine.

Under the collective scrutiny of numerous attendees, Loraine's poise and tranquility were imprinted in Marco's memory, his admiration for her intensifying with each passing day.

"She's breathtaking..." Marco almost believed he had unintentionally revealed his true feelings. However, as he turned around, he discovered that it was Grady who had uttered those words. His expression darkened. Grady was spellbound by Loraine, his gaze locked onto her, filled with awe.

Suddenly, his field of vision darkened.
