Goodbye, My Love

Doesn’t my brother avoid calling home?”

Liza’s face took on a stern expression, her cane resonating a sharp clack against the floor. The sound made Marina jump, and her voice faltered.

With a dismissive snort, Liza said, “Though the news isn’t widespread online, it’s well-known within our elite circle. The only ones still clueless are you two!”

Laura’s face fell as comprehension dawned. She now grasped the significance of Liza’s pitiful gaze. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

It was a pity that it reflected their current standing, a mere shadow of their past glory. In the face of such a major event, none of the other wealthy ladies had contacted them.

However, Marina seemed oblivious to this. Staring blankly, she muttered to herself, “This can’t be. Keely was just fine before. How did she suddenly lose her mind?”

Suddenly, a dreadful thought crossed her mind. Her complexion drained, and she trembled, turning towards Liza.

“No, it wasn’t my brother and Loraine, was it? They didn’t push Keely over the edge for vengeance, did they?”

Liza considered the mother-daughter pair before her, a thought crossing her mind. They seemed to be repeating their past mistakes, stirring up even more trouble. If she could scare them into submission, it would be for the best.

She didn’t deny it but instead seemed to confirm it with a cryptic response, “Yes, it was Marco who dealt with the deranged Keely personally.”

The color drained from Laura’s and Marina’s faces, their bodies trembling as they exchanged glances.

Marco… Could he have gone that far?

In the past, even at his coldest, Marco had always abided by the rules.

At most, he would confine Laura and Marina or cut back on their allowances. Even when he’d sent Keely to prison, he’d done so legally, leaving the Law to take its course.

But this time, the situation was fundamentally different. If Liza’s words were to be believed, then Marco had driven someone to insanity!

Could Marco have resorted to such methods to help Loraine?

Laura swallowed hard, her heart pounding with fear.

She couldn’t help but think that Marco knew she wasn’t his biological mother. If he could do this to Keely, then he might do the same to her and Marina…

The image of a merciless Marco sent chills down Laura’s spine. She quickly grabbed Marina, softened her tone, and forced a smile. “Mother, don’t worry. Marina and I will apologize promptly. Whatever it takes, we’ll win back Marco’s and Loraine’s forgiveness!”

Hearing the response she wanted, Liza’s lips curled into a satisfied smile as she turned to leave. But she didn’t utter a word to reassure

Laura and Marina, Leaving them frozen in a state of dread, staring blankly at each other.

Clarit

Following Liza’s departure, Marina’s mind was flooded with alarming visions. Paralyzed by terror, she overlooked her own hurt, hurling herself into Laura’s comforting hug, weeping without restraint.
