Reynolds smiled and hastily said, “Lorrie, it's lucky that you discovered Duran’s actions. | never expected him to
do something Like this. I'm shocked and deeply disappointed in him!”
In response to his words, Loraine couldn’t help but sneer, her voice dripping with skepticism.
“Aren't you and Duran so close, practically inseparable? How could you possibly be oblivious to his actions? Do
you truly know nothing about this matter?”
“Of course not! Duran never mentioned any of this to me! | am completely dedicated to Universe Group. If | had
known anything, | would have been the first to report him. Lorrie, you have to trust me!”
Loraine narrowed her eyes. She knew what kind of person Reynolds was, but his shamelessness still surprised
her.

Unfortunately, she didn’t have any evidence to expose his true colors at the moment.
After his statement, Reynolds shifted his gaze to Marco and continued with a flattering smile, “Marco, it seems
you and Loraine have a good relationship. You even attended the shareholders’ meetings of Universe
Group. The cooperation between our two companies will surely thrive in the future.”
Marco cast a cold glance at Reynolds, ignoring his words. He simply stated indifferently, “Excuse me, you're
blocking the elevator.”
Marco's response took Reynolds by surprise. In spite of knowing when to swallow his pride and when to strut
around, he couldn’t help but feel humiliated.
His features darkened as he attempted to muster words.
Loraine chimed in, her tone cold as she said, “Reynolds, if you truly pledge your allegiance to the company, you
can rest assured that fairness will be your companion. If you find yourself with no pressing tasks at the moment,
feel free to retreat and indulge in swell-deserved rest.”
Uncertainty washed over Reynolds and he looked at them, fear flickering in his eyes.

Marco was unlikely to cut him any slack. Loraine was known for her sarcastic remarks, and Jennie was champing
at the bit to berate him.
It was clear that if he stuck around, he would only be opening himself up to more criticism.
With a forced smile and gritted teeth, Reynolds bid them goodbye.

His footsteps receded and Marco’s gaze found its way to Loraine.
A tinge of embarrassment lingered around Loraine. She avoided his gaze, cleared her throat and said, “Thank
you.”
Marco responded, “Don’t mention it. It was my duty to do so. I'm just glad | decided to wait instead of leaving.”
Relief flooded him, thankful that he had accompanied her.
Moreover, he had witnessed the determined stand Loraine had taken in the meeting room.
As Marco's gaze fell upon Loraine, a subtle change occurred in his expression. His eyes softened, revealing a
newfound affection for her.
His understanding of Loraine had been limited until now. The more he discovered about her, the more he realized
how remarkably compelling she was.
