Goodbye, My Love

Given that Cayson was impervious to his manipulations and resolute to shield Loraine, Reynolds decided not to hold any punches.

“You had your chance, and you spurned it. Don’t blame me for being cruel.”

Meanwhile, Loraine had coordinated everything and relayed the final schedule for their countryside trip to Marco.

Without missing a beat, Marco took it upon himself to gather all necessary provisions.

They were about to visit an esteemed elder, an individual of high respect in Loraine’s eyes, and Marco wasn’t one to take the matter lightly.

He procured a variety of precious gifts and items that might come in handy during their rural visit. His small apartment was nearly overflowing with his thoughtful purchases. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Yet, Marco felt an uneasy sense that something was still missing, and he knitted his brows, pondering if he had overlooked anything.

Just as he was engrossed in his thoughts, the buzz of his phone on the table interrupted him. Picking it up, Marco saw that Doris was calling.

Under normal circumstances, if it were work-related, Doris would pass on information via Carl. Private calls were generally ignored by Marco.

However, in the current situation where Carl wasn’t available, Doris naturally resorted to calling him directly on his personal number.

After a brief moment of deliberation, Marco answered the call. He had a clear understanding that Solar Company was doing good, and under these circumstances, he doubted that Doris was calling about work.

Indeed, as he suspected, Doris’s conversation revolved around personal matters. “Marco, where are you at the moment? I heard that your house was reclaimed by the Bryant family. Do you need my help to find a new place?”

Marco replied frostily, “There’s no need, I’ve already bought a new house. Is there anything else you wanted?”

Doris hesitated for a moment, feeling slightly slighted. “Can’t I show concern for you? Marco, we’re friends, aren’t we?”

However, her attempt to stir up sentiment from Marco didn’t bear the results she wished for. Marco maintained strict boundaries between professional and personal relationships, leaving no room for Doris to exploit.

On the other end of the line, a shade of disappointment briefly crossed

Doris’s glamorous face, but she quickly regained her composure and shifted gears.

“Marco, now that you’re no Longer with the Bryant Group, why not return to Solar Company and take the reins again? Everyone has been missing you over these years.”

When Marco noticed that she had used the word ‘everyone’ instead of

‘I’, he couldn’t remain impassive any Longer. He replied composedly, “I will return when the time is right. Currently, I have my own plans.”

Doris, trying to get him back to the Solar Company, asked, “What else do you have to do in Kitay? Marco, the moment you reveal your identity as the CEO of Solar Company, those Bryant family folks will surely rue their decision!”

Marco replied dismissively, “I don’t have to make them regret anything.

The moment I severed ties with the Bryant family, they ceased to matter. What they think is of no consequence to me.”
