“Don’t act like you don’t know what I'm talking about! What did you do with the photo on the website? It's
Universe Group's fault, Marco. We have the right to sue them for infringement. Your actions now would let
Loraine take advantage of us!”
Marco responded calmly, “Loraine didn’t do anything wrong. We have been discussing a cooperation.”
“Cooperation? Have you lost your mind?” Laura’s voice was shrill and her eyebrows were Lifted to the highest
points of her face.
“Loraine is a jinx! Have you forgotten she egged her father on dealing with our family? Adding to that, she also
destroyed Lily's family, didn’t she?

How can you join hands with her?”
Marco's face went dark and he responded harshly, “ALL you said has nothing to do with Loraine. They caused
trouble for her first, didn’t they? A counterattack is a normal defense anyone would take.”
Laura did not pay attention to a single word he said and paced the room anxiously.
“Concerning the publicity photo, Loraine was the one at fault. This was such a good opportunity to make profit
for our family. How could you so easily let it go? Bryant Group is the fruit of your father’s painstaking efforts,
don’t forget. How could you ruin it for the sake of a woman, having no regard for our family’s interests?”
Marco's breath caught in his throat and his face went dark.
Laura had rarely cared about him since he was a child. She would only cto him in times of trouble and cause
him to compromise with the mention of his father. He did his best for the family and Bryant Group; he didn’t
deserve her faulting him.
A knock sounded at the door at that moment.
“The director of the marketing department asked to see you, Mr.
Bryant.” Carl's voice cfrom outside.
Marco frowned and glanced at Laura. “Let him in.”
The director cin with a big smile. He didn’t catch wind of the atmosphere in the office and said, “The new
publicity photo has a great effect from what we can see on social media. A lot of enterprises have cto
cooperate with us.”

Marco nodded slightly. He had anticipated the union of Universe Group and Bryant Group would cause heat in the
business district.
The director added, “With the successful government project, everyone wants a piece since the new CBD is a
cash cow. It’s a wonderful opportunity for Bryant Group!”
Laura, who was standing aside, raged quietly.
She had threatened Marco with the interests of Bryant Group, but it turned out that his choice was the best way
to maximize profits.
At this moment, the director's phone rang.
He answered the call after Marco nodded. He smiled after a few words and said, “Do you mean you want to
settle in and open a chain store in the new CBD?”
“Alright, no problem. We'll reach out to you later...”
