Despite her skepticism, Liza paused, taking a moment to scrutinize them. She then asked, sounding unsure,
“Then who else could have let the cat out of the bag?”
Recalling Jefferson’s advice, Laura was quick to answer, “Mom, maybe we aren't the only ones in the know.
When Winfred brought Marco home, someone might have discovered what he was doing. Florence from the Cruz
family and the Bryant Group's Long-tshareholders were all close to
Winfred! They may have had insider information and made a wild guess and leaked the news!"
Liza remained skeptical, but when it cto Winfred’s affairs, she truly lacked access to much information.
Laura’s explanation was sensible, and it couldn't be easily dismissed.
Seizing the opportunity, Laura added, “Moreover, ever since Marco started associating with that Loraine, his
arrogance has soared! Not just towards Marina and me, his family, but also the company’s shareholders. His
behavior has sparked discontent among numerous shareholders! It’s highly likely that someone couldn't
stomach it and deliberately spilled the beans!”
Liza's expression hardened. She knew Laura’s manipulative tendencies all too well to blindly accept her words,

Marina, notorious for her big mouth.

“Marina, is this true?”
Marina nodded.
Liza scrutinized the mother-daughter pair, her suspicion apparent as she watched them desperately trying to
assure her. “You'd better pray you're telling the truth. If | discover you two are involved, don’t expect any
leniency. | won't hesitate to disown you both!”
Her stern warning and icy resolve sent a chill down their spines.
Memories of Liza's ruthless punishments flooded their minds, leaving no doubt about her determination.

Feeling overwhelmed, Marina blurted out, “Why? Grandma, not only do you favor Marco, but why are you so
heartless towards mom and me?”
Laura added, “Indeed, Mom. Your harsh words hurt, even though we had no part in this incident.”
Liza retorted with a cold chuckle, “It’s best for you both if you weren't involved. But, letmake one thing clear.
The Bryant Group can survive without anyone, except Marco! Now that the news is out, | have to stand by Marco
for the sake of the Bryant Group.”
Realizing that the situation had spiraled out of control, Liza knew that trying to suppress it was futile. The most
she could do was manage the fallout, ensuring Marco's loyalty to the Bryant family and prevent a split.
Any suspicion from Marco about the family’s role in the leak could distance him further, causing significant harm.
When push cto shove, Liza would always choose her grandson.

After a final warning look at the duo, Liza exited the room, her cane aiding her steps.
Left alone, Laura’s and Marina's faces paled with a mix of fear and resentment.
Once they were sure Liza was out of earshot, Laura swore under her breath, turning to Marina with renewed
resolve. “Marina, | swear, we will seize control of the company, no matter what. | can’t bear to endure this old
woman's arrogance any Longer!”
Tears welled up in Marina's eyes as she nodded in agreement. Laura gritted her teeth and added, “That old hag
won't be arrogant for much longer. Brace yourself for the upcoming days. As Jefferson plans a shareholders’
meeting to oust Marco, we need to do all we can to knock him off his pedestal!”
Marina looked worried, twisting her fingers.
