Liza was full of remorse, but she wasnt willing to compromise her dignity. Instead, she acted like a victim who had been cheated, complaining about Loraines dishonesty.
Aldo was shocked. Trust you? Lorrie suffered far too much over her three years of marriage. You knew that better than anyone, didnt you?
And do you think that I know nothing of what is going on online? You should clear the air and apologize to Lorrie!
Liza was embarrassed but still refused to swallow her pride. Aldo, thats too much to ask. There werent any losses on your end, were there? Why should I apologize for nothing?
Loraine sneered. My ability to survive the cyber-attack is based purely on my identity as a member of the Torres family. But what if I was just a country girl? How could I continue to live after such an attack on my reputation? Did you ever stop to consider that?

Liza had no response.
Aldos heart ached as Loraine spoke of her suffering. Liza, youd better consider your next move carefully, he threatened.
If you refuse to apologize to Lorrie, I will terminate our cooperation with
Bryant Group and cut off all relevant funding. Or are you willing to bear those Losses?
After a moment, Liza finally gave in. Well, Aldo, Ill ask them to draft a statement on behalf of Bryant Group right away. Dont do anything rash!
Aldo snorted. He had no intention of helping Liza save face.
The awkwardness of the situation didnt abate, and Liza couldnt stay any Longer. She made her excuses and left the dinner early.
Marco, my chest feels a bit tight. Perhaps its too noisy here. I think I need to leave.

Loraine looked at her coldly and said in a mocking tone, You Look terrible. You should visit the part of my smart city model that specializes in activities for senior citizens. Perhaps youll find something to slow down the aging process in your body and mind.
Liza was once again reminded that she almost had Loraine removed from the smart city project.
In the end, she lost not just the project but also a deep-pocketed granddaughter-in-law.
Now, Liza did indeed feel a tightness in her chest. Unable to walk steadily, she required assistance on her way out.
Marco was the last person left in the banquet hall who represented the
Bryant family.
However, he didnt intend to leave. Instead, he stepped forward and spoke to Aldo sincerely.
Mr. Torres, may I have a word with Loraine in private?
What else do you want to say? Though he was highly impatient with
Marco, Aldo still looked at Loraine.
