Marina was about to retort, but Laura tugged her back and plastered a feigned smile on her face as she
addressed Loraine, “Since you and your grandfather have sought treatment at our hospital, we won't create any
difficulties. But as for banishing Marco, that doesn’t involve you, does it?”
Loraine held her ground, standing protectively in front of Marco, and took a step forward. Her voice was frosty as
she countered, “Who do you think you are to banish him?”
“It's not your concern, Loraine. We're merely showing respect to your grandfather. If you believe we're
intimidated by you, then we won't hold back!”
Laura’s sanctimonious demeanor caused Loraine’s brows to crease even more.
At this juncture, Liza, who had maintained silence all this while, finally chimed in. With a weary glance at Marco,
she stated, “Marco,

I'm giving you leeway. We won't banish you. You can depart of your own accord. However, you should willingly
resign from the position of CEO of the Bryant Group. As for tonight's events, | will keep them under wraps.”
What?
Loraine almost thought she had misheard.
Not only was Liza siding with Laura and Marina, but she was also demanding Marco to voluntarily resign as CEQ
of the Bryant Group!

Loraine responded indignantly, “Mrs. Bryant, I'm astounded that even after all these years, your dictatorial and
irrational tendencies persist! You Leveraged Marco to rescue the Bryant Group from the brink of insolvency, and
now that it has flourished, you intend to expel him?
It appears age has caused you to disregard all norms of propriety!”
Liza's cheeks quivered with wrath.
“Loraine, you have no right to interfere! The Bryant Group is an asset of the Bryant family, and it’s not your
concern as a Torres family member!”
Unintimidated, Loraine countered with a sarcastic retort, “If that’s your perspective, then allowto remind you
that | currently own 1% of the shares in the Bryant Group. Also, not all shareholders are

Bryants, correct? Are you suggesting that we, as shareholders, don’t even possess the right to propose? The
privilege of expression within the Bryant Group seems exceptionally rare, doesn’t it?”
Upon hearing this barbed comment, Liza's chest swelled with rage. She gritted her teeth and coldly scoffed,
“Your tongue is as sharp as ever.
Are you aware that even your grandfather wouldn't dare addressin such a manner?”
Loraine parried, “My grandfather simply chose not to waste his breath on you. If you're eager to be reprimanded
by him, | can ring him up right now. | assure you that he would scold you far more severely than
I ever could.”
Liza was left speechless, her face fluctuating between shades of blue and purple, as she was unable to formulate
a counter.
