Bryant family, while Marco is just a bastard. Still, he has the audacity to challenge me, humiliatingin public!”
Laura chimed in, her words dripping with scorn.
“This ungrateful bastard! After being his mother for so long and you being his biological sister, he treats us with
such disdain, completely favoring that outsider Loraine in tormenting us!”
After venting their frustrations, Laura settled on the couch, her expression somber. After a moment's reflection,
she said, “Initially, | intended to mend your image within a small circle with this counterfeit necklace, and then
reclaim our influence by Leveraging connections to those wealthy heiresses’ families. But as this tactic seems to
be ineffective, we need a new approach. We can’t let this continue. If we allow Marco to remain victorious, we
will have no standing in this family.”
Marina, agitated, inquired, “Mom, what should we do? Even if these so-called friends abstain from worsening my
current predicament, none of them will assist us!”

Laura reassured her distraught daughter and pondered for a moment before grudgingly dialing sfamiliar
shareholders of the company.
These longtshareholders had been part of the Bryant Group prior to
Marco's takeover. Laura assumed that since she was Mrs. Bryant, they would at least lend her a hand. But as she
dialed each number, they either disconnected the call or a house help informed her that the person was not
present.
As Laura neared the end of her contact list, her heart was heavy, and she muttered, “A bunch of heartless
people!”
Just then, a call cthrough.
Laura looked at the caller ID flashing on the screen and hesitated before answering. A cheerful, benevolent voice
greeted her. “Mrs.
Bryant, | am aware of your predicament, and | can lend you a hand.”

The straightforward comment took Laura aback.
“Mr. Foster, could you please elaborate?”
“Laura, you're an intelligent woman. | won't sugarcoat it. | possess a method to restore you and your daughter to
your former status, but the question is, are you truly determined? If you decide to ally withyou will inevitably
antagonize Marco.”
Laura and Marina glanced at each other, their excitement barely concealed. However, Laura still had a shred of
caution and lowered her voice in reply.

“Mr. Foster, as long as we can regain our previous prosperity and influence, the cost is inconsequential! But how
can | be certain that you can accomplish this?”
They had crossed swords with Marco ages ago. Laura's concern was whether this usually prudent shareholder
within the group genuinely had a plan to assist them?
Jefferson let out a chuckle. “Where there’s a will, there's a way.
There are numerous ways, but the key lies in your sincerity, Mrs
Bryant.”
A thought struck Laura, and she hesitated briefly. As she was about to speak, Jefferson’s voice echoed once
again. “Mrs. Bryant, | am aware that Marco is not your biological son. He's merely an illegitimate child
undeserving of the spotlight. Why the hesitation?”
Laura’s eyes bulged in shock.
