Marco shot Jefferson a knowing Look, coolly ordering, “Ignore her. If she persists, have the security escort her
out.”
Understanding who had just arrived, a flustered Jefferson exclaimed,
“ah, is Miss Bryant coming? Mr. Bryant, your sister, the heiress of the
Bryant family, is here! How can you not meet her? Are you feeling guilty?”
Marco fixed his icy gaze on Jefferson, fully grasping that Marina and
Laura wouldn't dare such antics without a backer.

Feeling exposed, Jefferson froze. Just as he attempted to speak, Marco diverted his gaze, an icy smirk forming,

Shortly, Marina entered the conference room, displaying an uncharacteristic audacity in Marco's presence.
She glimpsed at the board members, dreaming of herself on that platform one day, wielding power at her will.
Her fantasy was disrupted by a chilling voice
“What brings you here?”
Marina instinctively recoiled at the sound of this voice, but quickly gathered herself. “I am the heiress of the
Bryant family, and this is a shareholders’ meeting for the Bryant Group. Why shouldn't | be here? | have a say in
Bryant Group's future, and | intend to voice my opinions!”
Marco frowned. What gave Marina the gall to act so insolently? Did she truly believe that a few trending posts
could coerce him into handing over the company to her?
He retorted sternly, “This isn’t a place for irrelevant individuals to cause a commotion.”
As Marco's expression hardened, Marina immediately lost her bravery, stepping back in fear.
Jefferson intervened, “Mr. Bryant, | must inquire. The rumors suggest that you're the illegitimate child and Miss
Bryant is the rightful heir. Is that accurate?”
Prompted by Jefferson, Marina felt emboldened and nodded eagerly.

“Yes, that’s correct! | am the rightful heir of the Bryant Group! Marco is the illegitimate one, he’s the one who
doesn’t belong!”
The shareholders were taken aback by Marina’s confession. Before, they had merely speculated about the online
rumors, choosing to reserve judgment until the fact was clear.
But now, with Marina admitting it in person, could it still be a lie?
If the claims were true, would Marina indeed inherit the Bryant CE

As the shareholders pondered and hesitated, Marco's lips curved up into a knowing smirk. He didn’t say a word,
leaving Marina with a creeping sense of unease. His gaze was playfully derisive as he met her eyes.
