“I didn’t do it alone. Marco deserves scredit as well.”
Memorial Day
Suddenly, a hushed silence swept through the room.

Rowan, who knew of Marco’s numerous acts of kindness to their family, hesitated and made no reply. Aldo’s
features shifted subtly, but he remained silent as well.
Wesley, however, didn’t possess such a level head. He promptly shot back, somewhat suspiciously, “Why is
Marco doing this? He and Loraine are divorced, yet mow he’s displaying increased concern for her!

Lorrie, be cautious. Don’t let him deceive you with his honeyed words again!”
Rowan and Aldo also had a clear understanding of Marco’s motives.
However, they refrained from calling him out, fearing that Loraine might once again place faith in his words and
reconcile with him.
Loraine offered a slight nod. At that juncture, Aldo suggested, “We should be expressing our gratitude to the
Bryant family.”
Rowan’s and Wesley's expressions shifted slightly. Loraine was also surprised. Then Aldo continued, “We should
prepare all the requisite tokens of gratitude, lest the Bryants feel we lack appreciation.”
It was evident Aldo was still maintaining sdistance from the Bryant family. An inexplicable gloom shaded
Loraine’s face. Noticing her subtle reaction, Aldo adopted a serious tone, stating firmly, “Lorrie, the fact that
Marco assisted us is undeniable. | will always remember his generosity. However, | will also never forget the pain
he inflicted on you in the past!”
“In the younger generation, an exceptional young man Like Marco indeed stands out. The collaboration between
Universe Group and Bryant Group is beneficial, but how can you be certain that his charm and closeness aren't
driven by his self-interest? He's kind to you now, but what about the actions he took when you were married?”
Aldo would never erase the memory of Loraine’s returning from the
Bryant family in tears. Regardless of Marco’s merits, Aldo wouldn't risk trusting him again.
Loraine appeared taken aback and instinctively defended Marco,

“Grandpa, he’s changed now. | believe he isn’t acting out of self-interest. Otherwise, he wouldn't have
compromised his gains in the partnership. He vowed never to deceiveagain and even severed ties with
Keely...”
With a keen gaze on her, Aldo questioned in a hushed tone, “Are you certain?”
Caught off guard, Loraine was momentarily speechless, biting her lip in silence.
Shaking his head, Aldo refrained from further discussion about Marco.
Turning to Loraine, he said, “Lorrie, | won't harp on this any longer.
Reflect on it. Your parents’ memorial day is in two days. The doctor mentioned that I'm fit to leave the hospital
now. You can return hand start making preparations. We'll attend the memorial together.”
Upon hearing this, they decided not to disturb Aldo’s rest any further and silently filed out of the room.
