Goodbye, My Love

Chapter 1178

Keely lowered her head, not daring to admit or deny it. This temporary lie of hers was clumsy and full of

Loopholes. She was scared that the more she talked, the more mistakes she would make.

When she said nothing, Leopold continued, “Loraine has gone too far!

She not only took away the man you loved while you were undergoing treatment, she also stole the results of

your painstaking efforts! Such a woman is really envious and narrow-minded. No wonder she has constantly

been against you!”

Seeing how passionate he was, Keely replied in a weak tone, “I'm used to such a treatment from her. It’s nothing

new. Don’t bother yourself too much about it.”

“Don’t be scared, Keely,” Leopold assured her. “You are my student now.

I'LL never allow Loraine to pick on you ever again!”

He'd hardly finished the statement when the hotel receptionist called the phone in the room. Leopold picked up

the phone and answered it.

“Professor Zizka, Mr. Moore is here to see you,” the receptionist said.

Leopold wondered why Klein was coming to him at such a time.

Due to how much Klein protected Loraine, Leopold's impression of him was not savory. But since Klein was a

member of the government, he had no choice but to agree to meet him.

Meanwhile, Klein kept glancing at his watch from tto tas he sat impatiently at the restaurant of the

hotel.

He had never expected that the public opinion would take such a turn.

If Loraine and Leopold didn’t get along, it would not be helpful to the airport project.

That was why he cto Leopold today in the hope that he could get him to reconcile with Loraine.

Soon, Leopold appeared and Klein greeted him with a smile. After exchanging pleasantries, he finally told him

why he had come.

“Professor Zizka, I'd Like to make it clear to you again that Loraine is certainly not that kind of person, but | know

you won't listen. | chere specifically to tell you the pros and cons of the whole thing, hoping that you'll be

able to weigh them and make your decisions. The White Cloud Airport project is being jointly developed by

Universe Group and Bryant Group. If things go on Like this, how would this project continue? We both know that

if Universe Group and

Bryant Group decide not to invest in it anymore, your project will not be able to proceed,” Klein pointed out,

using the usual lobbying tactics that politicians loved to employ.

“What's that supposed to mean? Are you threatening me?” Leopold growled angrily.

Seeing how livid Leopold was, Klein poured him a glass of water and smile apologetically.

“Look, Professor, Loraine has already released the original drafts to prove that she didn’t plagiarize anyone's

work, which means that this whole thing is a big misunderstanding. So, you need to put aside your prejudices

and reconcile with Loraine. And everyone will be happy!”

Klein thought this would be enough to convince Leopold, but to his surprise, the opposite was the result.

“Mr. Moore, there's nothing | hate more than being bullied by people with political power!” Leopold retorted

angrily, “Letmake it very clear to you that as long as Loraine remains there, 1'11 never partner with Universe

Group! And as for the investment, the Bryant Group will help out, won't it?”

Klein was taken aback by this straightforward rejection.
