They folded even before she had played her hand.
Were they finally frightened?
Loraine didn’t believe that these obstinate individuals had genuinely reconsidered their actions. A thought crept
into her mind. Was this
Marco's influence?
The thought had barely formed when Marco called her.
Loraine hesitated, recalling the kiss she had left on his cheek that evening.

She bit her lip, and without noticing, a gentle smile graced her face.
After a moment's pause, she picked up the call.
“Hello?”
Marco's steady breath resonated on the other end, followed by his resonant voice.
“Loraine, have you cacross the apologies circulating online? Are you satisfied?”
Was he behind his family’s public apologies?

A warm sensation enveloped Loraine’s heart. With the Keely issue resolved and their relationship deepening, she
decided to playfully provoke him.
“What if I'm not satisfied? What can you possibly do? They are, after all, your family.”
Marco's breathing hitched slightly, and in a dedicated tone, he quickly countered, “If you're dissatisfied, we can
take them to court!
Furthermore, they've now confessed to their libel and slander against you, eliminating the need to gather
evidence. In case you require, | can furnish evidence for the Lawsuit.”

Caught off guard, Loraine fell silent for a while before asking, “This time, you're not protecting your mother and
sister?”
From the other side, Marco's voice was firm. “That was the last time! | vowed to you that | won't let anyone harm
you, not even my own family!”
Loraine’s heart stirred. In that moment, an overwhelming urge to see
Marco filled her. Even though they had only been apart for a short while.
Just then, a sound echoed from outside the window. Loraine turned around to find a red balloon bobbing outside.
Why was there a balloon here?
Loraine, momentarily perplexed, strolled to the window. Shortly, a second, third, and then an army of balloons
ascended towards the sky, dominating her field of view.
