After all, if the legitimate heir nearly drove the company to bankruptcy, and Marco, the illegitimate one, brought
them profit, what other option did they have? They weren't part of the Bryant family, so why bother with their
internal affairs?
The person who could bring profitability should be the rightful CEO of the Bryant Group!
Seeing the crowd's focus shift, Marina grew nervous, shooting a desperate look at Jefferson for assistance.
Clearing his throat, Jefferson put on a benevolent smile. “We all remember the significant contributions Mr.
Bryant has made to this company, no need for reminding. However, Mr. Bryant, don’t you think your actions
have been somewhat overbearing?
The Bryant Group has passed its growth stage. Now, stability and consolidation are critical. Yet you've been
disregarding veteran employees’ advice and making impulsive decisions without considering the ramifications.
Such reckless behavior could easily cause a downfall! At this point, isn’t preservation more important than

Jefferson’s comments seemed to influence sshareholders, his concern for the company apparent as he
delivered his final verdict.
“Thus, | believe, for the company’s Longevity, the CEO position should be transferred to Miss Bryant, who
possesses a more discerning mindset and a legitimate claim to it.”
Just as his words dwindled, applause resounded from the entrance.
Everyone looked to see that the person clapping was none other than

Loraine!
“Well said, prioritizing stability over expansion. Marco has made the
Bryant Group robust and thriving, and now you want to use his illegitimate birth as an excuse to push him aside?
You've portrayed such ingratitude with such charm, it’s truly shameless!”

With a sarcastic sweep of her eyes, Loraine noticed Jefferson's flushed face. Unable to retort, he stewed silently
in his anger, much to
Loraine’s amusement.
Her gaze landed on Marco, who was still visibly shocked at her arrival.

She tossed him a discreet wink.
Marco didn’t anticipate Loraine’s intervention. Still, he recognized her intentions were benevolent, stirring a
feeling of gratitude within him.
Jolted back to reality, Marina dashed towards Loraine, ranting, “This is the Bryant Group’s general shareholders’
meeting. What's your business here? You're an outsider!”
Loraine’s glance at Marina was akin to regarding a fool.
“Miss Bryant, it's shocking that you barely comprehend the nature of the Bryant Group's business and yet are
present here. If that’s the case, why can’t 1?”
“You!”
Flustered, Marina couldn’t form a response. Loraine’s laughter rang out before she continued, “As the Universe
Group's president, our enterprises collaborate closely. Given the Bryant Group's ongoing presidential transition
during this shareholders’ meeting, it's only logical that I, as a business partner, should witness the proceedings.
