Goodbye, My Love

Chapter 1296

Blinded by rage and envy, Colette was far from her sensible self. No matter the reality of the situation, she clung

to her claim like a lifebuoy, determined to save face before the crowd.

Loraine, unfazed by their theatrics, retaliated with a hard-hitting fact.

“The Stellar Galaxy is a masterpiece adorned with the finest

Cartier diamonds, fashioned into stars that emit a soft, natural glow.

Marina, would you say the necklace you're wearing meets that description?”

Colette.

At her wit's end, Colette allowed her feelings to boil over and persisted in her allegations, “Loraine, the liar here

is you! Everyone knows Marco bought the necklace, and it's more likely he gifted it to his sister rather than an

outsider like you!”

His destination was clear: Loraine.

gentle, “Loraine, | intended to bring you this wine earlier, but | was waylaid by a few shareholders. | apologize for

the delay and for leaving you at the mercy of these individuals.”

Loraine acknowledged his words with a nod, her attention drawn to the other man accompanying Marco.

Jefferson had planned to extend his greetings to Loraine, but Marco’s words had momentarily stunned him.

His previously warm smile rigidified, leaving him slightly flustered.

However, his demeanor brightened upon spotting Bella among the crowd.

He was intrigued to see his daughter standing so near Loraine. Had

Bella truly managed to acquaint herself with Loraine?

Jefferson momentarily disregarded Marco’s comments, breaking into a chuckle, “Miss Torres, meet my daughter

Bella Foster. She regards you as a role model. It appears Mr. Bryant was correct. You younger folks indeed have

more in common. Enjoy your evening, I'll take my leave now!”
