Chapter 71
"I mean, you never paid attention to Loraine when you were married."
Marco was taken aback when he heard that. However, he remained silent.
Slater's brows shot up as he realized something. "Wait! The smart city project? Aren't you in charge of that project? Is Loraine also working on it? How dare she compete with you? What does she think of herself? She is clearly overestimating her ability."
The more Slater thought about it, the more suspicious he became about

"Is she trying to garner your attention this way?"
Marco frowned when he heard that.
But Slater didn't notice Marco's grim expression. The doubts and suspicion in his head seemed to multiply.
"How could Cayson let an ignorant country woman like Loraine take charge of such a significant project? Is he out of his mind? She has probably cast a spell on him. Wow! I underestimated her before. Man, she is manipulative! It's horrible. Thank God you divorced her!"
The way he degraded Loraine irked Marco.
"Enough! If you have the time and energy to comment on others here, you better go back to your company and do something useful."
Marco's face was cold, and his deep-set eyes darkened. Seeing that,
Slater shuddered and instantly stopped talking.

Marco refused without thinking.
"Isn't she hurt after she fell? Ask her to get good rest and not come to unless she has something important."
For a moment, Jimmie and Slater thought they had misheard Marco's words. However, seeing Carl leave, the two exchanged glances. They were surprised to see Marco refuse to meet Keely.
"Marco, you and Keely..."
Slater was about to question him, but Jimmie quickly covered his mouth, stopping him from continuing.
"Marco, since you are busy, we don't want to disturb you anymore." With that, Jimmie dragged Slater out of the office
