Goodbye, My Love

Chapter 1323

If Laura and Marina’s rash actions invited Marco’s scrutiny on him, and

Marco ended up discovering his past misdeeds, his standing in the company could be threatened.

Jefferson had not forgotten the previous director of Universe Group, who had crossed Marco and Loraine, leading

to his downfall with numerous scandals surfacing, and was now serving time.

Laura kept calling him, Jefferson’s patience began to wane, and he dropped his normally composed demeanor,

resorting to harsh verbal criticism.

Laura, hearing the tirade, felt her anger ignite. She snapped back,

“Evidence... Mom, let's perform a paternity test! If we can show that

Marco isn’t your biological son, it would serve as undeniable evidence of his illegitimacy!”

Laura contemplated for a moment and nodded in agreement, “That seems to be our only course of action at this

point.”

However, executing a paternity test would mean eluding Liza's notice

If she caught wind of their covert operations, she would undoubtedly expel them from the Bryant family

instantly.

“We need to visit the Bryant family’s hospital for the paternity test,”

Laura stated. She felt a pang of embarrassment. “But | have records at that hospital from when | was pregnant

with you. | might be recognized, which could jeopardize our plan.”
