Unsure of his intentions but choosing to trust him, Loraine laid her hand in his.
A subtle smile graced Marco's lips as he drew her closer. He then gently caressed the Stellar Galaxy necklace
adorning her neck.
Everyone watched with bated breath, and what ensued was an unanticipated spectacle.
As Marco interacted with the pendant, it gradually morphed, ultimately forming several stars orbiting two
diamonds nestled together, mirroring constellations huddled in the infinite cosmos.

Marco's velvety voice interrupted the mesmerizing silence, “Initially,
Master Laims was reluctant to commercialize the Stellar Galaxy.
However, convinced by my sincerity, she acquiesced to make an exception for me. She modified the necklace’s
design, inspired by our narrative.”
Loraine was confused, her thoughts filled with Marco’s soothing voice as he continued, “Do you understand why |

Group and the Universe Group, Marco continued with a wink, “They symbolize that you and | will have a close
interaction in this project and signify my earnest desire for a deeper collaboration with you,
Loraine. Here's hoping the Universe Group continues to thrive.”

Marina’s eyes were filled with resentment as they darted between the dazzling necklace adorning Loraine’s neck
and the crowd that encircled her, showering her with praise and admiration. The feel of her counterfeit necklace
against her skin felt like a burning rebuke, making her wish she could rip it off and crush it beneath her heel.
Tonight had been progressing smoothly, precisely as Laura had predicted. She was on the brink of reclaiming her
status as the darling among her circle of wealthy female friends.
But the moment Loraine stepped into the picture, the whole scenachanged!
Full of indignation and ready to voice her thoughts, Marina caught
Marco's glance.
The warmth he had earlier showered upon Loraine was now replaced by a gaze that was frigid and unforgiving.
Marina’s newly summoned courage dissolved instantaneously. She stuttered, “B-Brother...”
“Marina, | recall warning you that if you stirred up trouble again, | wouldn't be lenient.” Marco's voice was frosty.
