“I apologize,” Marco admitted, his hand gently rubbing his eyebrows
“It was urgent...”
Doris cast a reproachful look at him before continuing with her inquiry.
“As the president of the Solar Company, you have the authority to make decisions without going through
formalities, and | understand that. However, considering the significance of the ninth-generation robot, I'd like to
ask you about it.”
Upon noticing Marco's signal for her to go on, she continued, “The ninth-generation surgical robot is one of the
Solar Company's core projects. You know that. Its security level is almost on par with that of the Qbot. If the
news gets leaked or the media gets wind of it, it'll have a huge impact on the subsequent mass production and
market launch. Countless researchers in the field of intelligent medical technology are dedicated to developing
the next generation of surgical robots, and it's disconcerting that you intend to transfer it away at such a critical
juncture...”

Doris let out a sigh, maintaining eye contact with Marco as she uttered her final statement. “All for the sake of
operating on a nobody?”
Marco's expression immediately turned dark, and he retorted in a cold voice, “A nobody? Since when did you
consider human life as something unimportant, Doris? Moreover, the members of the Torres family are very dear
to me!”
Doris was taken aback by Marco's response and apologized in a somber tone. “I'm sorry, Marco. | didn’t mean it
that way... | sincerely apologize. | was a bit too agitated.”
Upon learning the real reason for Marco’s decision to return the ninth-generation robot from Sullivan, Doris felt
an overwhelming sense of panic.
So far, the research and development of the robot was yet to go through clinical trials. Without the involvement
of the head of the Torres family, however, they still would've found several suitable people across the world to
perform surgeries on.
What concerned her the most was Marco’s urgency to transport it back solely for the sake of Loraine. He didn’t
even plan on telling her about it!
Why did he care so much about his ex-wife?
Doris knew that Marco had gotten married to Loraine. Three years since
Loraine’s marriage into the Bryant family, however, Doris had never felt a sense of panic.
Despite being overseas managing the Solar Company, she had an intimate understanding of Marco’s personal
life. She knew that he didn’t love
Loraine at all, and that he'd married her just to navigate the complexities of his family.

Doris was uninterested in Marco's wife's title; her sole focus was on winning Marco's heart.
After Marco's divorce, however, she couldn't help but becvery wary of Marco's erratic behavior.
Marco, on the other hand, had no clue what was running through Doris’s mind, and simply thought that she was
worried about the Solar Company.
Realizing that his tone had been too harsh, he made the effort to speak in a softer voice.
“Doris, I've consulted Dr. Palmer about the robot, and it’s currently stuck at the clinical trial stage. Although |
have my own personal reason for wanting it returned, it doesn’t go against the company’s best interests.”
With an understanding look on her face, Doris smiled and said, “I understand. | was a bit impulsive earlier. The
ninth-generation robot is equally important to me. Since you've decided to bring it back to the country, | also
have a request.”
Marco was confused and asked, “What?”
