Goodbye, My Love

Jefferson remained dubious about Marco’s intentions. Marco shot Loraine a glance, raising an eyebrow suggestively. “My current pursuit is Loraine. Is it an issue if we want a private chat? Let’s say, even if we were to exchange a public kiss, it wouldn’t concern you, would it?”

Marco’s insinuation left Loraine almost choking, and she shot him an embarrassed glare. Jefferson, trying to mask his awkwardness, forced a smile. “Of course, it’s none of my business… Anyway, Miss Torres, I am sincere about the acquisition. If you’re open to it, can we arrange a private meeting?”

After Marco’s assessment, it was clear to Loraine that selling the shares to Jefferson was the most beneficial move. However, she harbored a faint reluctance.

After all, the Bryant Group was Marco’s hard work, painstakingly built over years, and it was disheartening to watch it fall into these individuals’ hands.

With Jefferson’s expectant gaze upon her, Loraine noticed Marco subtly nodding, signaling her to proceed with the sale.

Indeed, the Bryant Group was on the verge of collapse, and without

Marco’s backing, it was doomed to disarray. Her 1% share would be worthless. So, she might as well cash in while she could.

Eventually, Loraine addressed Jefferson, “Mr. Foster, I appreciate your sincerity, but a private meeting isn’t necessary.”

Jefferson exhaled in relief when Loraine agreed to sell the shares. He didn’t particularly care whether the discussion was private or public; he was simply elated at the opportunity.

“Considering the urgency, let’s conclude this at the Bryant Group.

Shall we move to my office? The conference room is often too busy and isn’t the most suitable place for business discussions.”

Despite the risk of being discovered by the Bryant family while negotiating at the company, Jefferson was confident that Marina, with her usual lack of perceptiveness, wouldn’t grasp the circumstances leading to her downfall. She wouldn’t find out what was going on.

Loraine glanced at Marco, who responded with an approving thumbs-up.

She suppressed a Laugh and feigned a moment of consideration before reluctantly agreeing with a nod.

Jefferson was brimming with joy, entirely oblivious to Loraine’s subtle amusement .

Loraine shot Marco a teasing glare, finding it humorous that she and

Marco were duping an elderly man out of a few hundred million.

Now that Jefferson was a far cry from being virtuous, they did not feel guilty about their actions.

“If you insist, I have no objections. Please, lead the way,” Loraine responded.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Jefferson, overjoyed, momentarily forgot his status as a shareholder.

He gave a nod and a bow, inviting her to follow him.

However, when he caught sight of Marco trailing behind Loraine, his smile wavered. Masking his unease with a forced grin, he said, “Marco, this share transaction is a Bryant Group internal affair. As you’re no longer the CEO of the company, there’s no need for your presence, correct?”
