Unfortunately, he had been ousted as CEO of Bryant Group before she even had the chance to bring the matter
to him.
It was at this point that Marco suddenly realized that the project no longer had anything to do with him since he
was no longer CEO and he let out a wry chuckle at the irony of it all.
“Anyway, I'm still very grateful that you took the tto bringhere,” he shrugged. “But don’t worry; as long
as the new owner of
Bryant Group isn’t foolish, she will agree to your proposal.”
Loraine felt quite uncomfortable with that statement.

Now that the Bryant family had kicked Marco out, there was no one else that would be in charge apart from
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarina. Without Marco in charge,
Loraine had no intention of continuing her partnership with Bryant
Group and neither was she willing to share her ideas with them.
Just then, all of a sudden, the street vendors gathered and started clapping in applause.
Loraine and Marco were both puzzled. They turned to look around, and everywhere they turned, they saw
vendors applauding.
They didn’t understand why this was going on.
A middle-aged man standing close to them suddenly said with a happy smile, “You really made everyone's day
by teaching that father and daughter a lesson!”
“That girl actually grew up on our street,” another person said. “Her father rented out several properties to us for
our businesses. He's more ruthless than a landlord. We often experienced power outages and water cutoffs, and
they even had the audacity to Look down on us!”
Another person spat on the ground and said indignantly, “They both cfrom humble backgrounds. The father
got rich from the demolition compensation and started showing off. And his daughter... that one has nothing but
a bad temper and rude behaviour!”
It was evident that the resentment towards the Shaw family had been building up for a long time. Now, it had all
burst out, and everyone was praising Loraine for teaching them a lesson.
This made Loraine feel a little embarrassed. If it hadn't been for the fact that the Shaws had provoked her, she
wouldn't have known that there were such oppressive people on this street.
The vendors kept reminiscing with one another about the exploits of the
Shaws, creating a warm and Lively atmosphere but not a noisy one. Sof the older vendors who were near
Loraine sighed, “So, you're the CEO of Universe Group. Ah, this street used to be much dirtier and messier, but
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthanks to Universe Group and Bryant Group, our conditions have improved a lot. We can now rent shops at
reasonable prices and earn smoney to support our families. You are all kind-hearted people!”
One of the men even nearly went down on his knees in gratitude as he said to Loraine, “If it weren't for your help
with this place, | wouldn't even be able to make a Living and feed my family.”
Loraine quickly stopped him from kneeling down and then she went ahead to address the crowd, “I'm flattered
by all your praises. Actually, I'm just a businessperson doing my best to create mutually beneficial
opportunities.”
Having seen how the Bryant family had given up their company’s reputation just for the sake of protecting family
assets, Loraine couldn't help but feel emotional as she looked at these sincere ordinary people. She turned her
head to look at Marco and she saw that he was also deeply moved.
This heartfelt gratitude was something he had never encountered before.
He and Loraine usually dealt with multimillion or even billion-dollar deals, playing mind games with competitors,
and even being cautious around their own partners.
