Chapter 944
Cayson smirked before responding, “Though we’re collaborating on this project, Mr. Bryant, there’s no need for you to concern yourself with Universe Group’s affairs. I hear you’re quite the dutiful son, managing to save your family from imprisonment. Impressive!”
Marco’s face darkened. He did not care about others’ opinions. But he did care about Loraine’s.
He had sent her numerous messages, all ignored.
As he conversed with Loraine as Obot, he resorted to sharing work-related matters in hopes of catching her attention.
Despite his efforts, Loraine seldom replied to Obot, seemingly upset and unresponsive to his messages.
He worried his cover had been blown.
Anxiously, he tried to explain, “No, I…”
Loraine, still irritated, ignored him. Her cold expression remained as she prepared to leave with Cayson.
Desperate, Marco attempted to keep her there.
Cayson intervened, “Anything else? Lorrie and I must get ready for the bidding. If there’s nothing more, please step aside.”
Disregarding Cayson, Marco dejectedly pulled his hand back, seeing Loraine’s unresponsive face.
Loraine scoffed and departed without a backward glance at Marco.
ALL Marco could do was watch them leave, consumed by disappointment.
Once they were away from Marco, Cayson regarded Loraine with worry.
“Lorrie, are you alright? If you’re not up for it, you can leave. I’ll handle the bidding.”
Cayson wished Loraine would distance herself from Marco and avoid Bryant Group-related projects.
Loraine’s expression softened as she shook her head. “I’m fine. As a sponsor, I must be present for the bidding.”
However, realizing the other sponsor was Marco, she knew she couldn’t escape him. Annoyed, Loraine bit her lip and sighed.
The auction room bustled with representatives from nearly all of Vagow’s renowned corporations.
