NovelOnlineMarina pleaded pitifully, “Brother, | realize my mistake. Please grantanother chance!”
But Marco had heard enough of her deceit and cut her off sharply, “I've afforded you plenty of chances, but you
failed to value them. You weren't invited to tonight's banquet. Leave now, and we'll discuss this later.”
Marco hadn't anticipated Marina's interruption at the event. Typically, she and Laura would still be under house
arrest, per Liza's orders.
However, tonight's gathering was a celebration, and he had no intention of dampening the mood. He merely
wished to dismiss Marina temporarily.
After a brief pause, he added, “Without my authorization, you are forbidden from leaving the house!”
The unpredictability of this troublemaker was a risk. Though Marco was loath to address her, he had to factor in

Security arrived promptly and, at Marco's gesture, began to escort
Colette away. She resisted, screaming, “By what right are you ejecting me? | possess an invitation!”

Moreau Group are severed. Future collaborations are off the table.”
Colette's face turned ashen, the picture of despair, as she submitted to security's removal.
In that moment, Colette deeply regretted entangling herself with
Marina. How could she have trusted someone as blatantly inept as
Marina!
Following Colette's departure, whispers rippled through the crowd of guests. Wishing to avoid becoming a topic
of gossip, Marco took

Loraine’s hand, preparing to make their exit.
In regards to Marina, Marco, considering Liza's feelings, chose not to have security escort her out. Instead, he
cast her a frosty look, a clear directive for her to remove herself.
Just then, a figure obstructed their path. Bella, her face adorned with a pleasant smile, said, “Mr. Bryant, Miss
Torres, | was the first to voice my skepticism and disbelief towards Marina and Colette. I've always held that
these two individuals are unreliable, so...”
