Goodbye, My Love

They said that I was a jinx. I gave them money to mend our relationship. Can you forgive me for that unintentional mistake?”

“Marco, please trust me. It was never my intention to harm Loraine. I just happened to see her with Mr. Torres at the restaurant. I wasn’t sure if she was safe with that man, so I called you.”

“You have to believe me, Marco. You are the only one I have now.”

Marco skimmed through the messages one after the other without replying.

He had always protected Keely due to the promise he made to Jorge. But now, he was tired of taking care of her.

A few hours later, Carl returned to the office.

“Mr. Bryant, I’ve got something on the reporters.”

Marco leaned his back on his chair and said, “Go ahead.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“I found out that the reporters received a tip-off from Elmo and Barr.”

Marco queried, “What did they say after they were interrogated? Did they mention Keely?”

“Well, Elmo and Barr confessed to bribery, but they didn’t mention anything about Keely’s involvement,” Carl replied.

This report seemed to back Keely’s claims of innocence. Nonetheless,

Marco couldn’t stop suspecting her.

He meditated for a moment and said, “Keep an eye on Keely from now on.

And keep me in the loop if anything unusual happens.”

Loraine didn’t resume work until the rumor died down online.

For some unknown reason, her colleagues treated her differently.

She didn’t notice anything weird at first. But the awkwardness at work soon dawned on her.

The employees were fond of speaking in low tones. They would gather together and whisper. Whenever she approached them, they would stop talking or disperse.

Even the people she worked with on the current project were keeping her at arm’s Length.

Only after Loraine spoke to Jolie did she get to the root of the matter. Although it was proven that the scandalous picture was fake, it didn’t change the fact that she was having dinner with such a high- ranking official. Some still believed that she had something to do with him.

It was a widespread rumor in Universe Group that Loraine had a sugar daddy who was in the government.

The major rumormonger was Nichol, the manager of the design department from Bryant Group.
