Chapter 1459
The orphanage only housed vulnerable Eloise and the children. How could
Judie muster the audacity to bring a group of sturdy bodyguards to cause havoc?
Marco gently patted Loraine’s back, offering silent comfort. Loraine collected herself, looking up at Marco again. As their eyes © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
met, Marco could see that she had calmed significantly.
“I can’t ignore Judie’s attempts to seize control of the orphanage
Even setting aside my personal grudge against her, I want to pay the
Cooper family a visit.”
It seemed as though all the trouble stemmed from the Coopers. If Eloise was hesitant about leaving the village with her, Loraine
had to resolve this issue for the orphanage to continue its operations peacefully
“Alright, I support your decision.” Standing beside Loraine, Marco provided steady support.
It wasn’t difficult to locate Judie’s house in the village. Armed with the earlier directions from Lillie, they easily found the grand villa of the Cooper family.
Standing in front of the towering, lavish house, they instantly understood why Lillie was subservient to Judie. Living in such an opulent house in a remote village indicated the Coopers were likely the wealthiest family around.
Loraine narrowed her eyes, recollecting that Eloise had once told her that the Cooper family hadn’t always been this affluent, and no family members had ventured out to do business. Their wealth seemed to have multiplied overnight, the source of which remained a mystery to the villagers.
Regardless, Loraine wasn’t interested in solving this riddle. She was simply determined that it was time to settle matters with Judie.

Loraine had regained her composure and was about to proceed towards the
Coopers’ house when she noticed a car pulling up at their gate. One by one, a group of bodyguards dressed in black exited the car, scanning their surroundings vigilantly.

Just as they were about to spot Loraine, Marco abruptly pulled her aside into hiding.
They squeezed into a narrow alley between the house and the adjacent garden. Marco’s only thought was to take cover, temporarily overlooking other details. He soon realized that something soft was pressed against his body.
Loraine’s eyelashes fluttered slightly due to surprise, her chest rising and falling with her breaths. She stared at the men in black,
oblivious to her present circumstances.
In this confined space, she had to stand on her toes to hide alongside
Marco. Consequently, her head now aligned with his cheek.
Her quick and nervous breaths warmed Marco’s face.
Marco’s eyes darkened. His hands, which had been gripping her arms, shifted silently to encircle her waist.
Marco’s gaze fixed on her parted Lips. He was aware of the fact that if he lowered his head, he might be able to steal a kiss from
her.
