Goodbye, My Love

Marco sneered in contempt.

A rural, affluent family-how could they compare with Loraine, the heiress of the distinguished Torres family and the successful CEO of a prominent company?

He had no intention of arguing with this narrow-minded and disgusting woman. If it weren’t for Loraine, these individuals wouldn’t even register on his radar.

Furthermore, they willfully ignored reality, choosing to believe in warped gossip rather than expanding their horizons.

Even if they stumbled across Loraine’s name in the media, they would likely dismiss it as a mere coincidence of namesakes.

Nonchalantly, Loraine responded to Lillie’s boast, “Is that so? Can

Judie gift you a watch worth two or three hundred thousand dollars?”

Lillie’s face became petrified, as if she had swallowed a fly, unable to muster a response.

Regardless of whether Judie actually possessed such luxurious items, it was certain she would never share them with her.

Judie was only inclined to offer trivial favors to appease her.

A watch worth two to three hundred thousand dollars? Judie was not that charitable.

In a frosty tone, Loraine retorted, “I’ve not forgotten your disparaging words about me. Do you believe someone who can nonchalantly gift a watch worth hundreds of thousands can still be bullied as before?”

Struck dumb, Lillie stammered, “I, I didn’t say anything.”

Loraine narrowed her eyes, smirking derisively, “Do you think your spreading of rumors can be conveniently forgotten? Are you aware that based on the insults you’ve hurled at me, I could sue you for all you possess?”

As a habitual gossipmonger in their small town, Lillie had a limited grasp of the concept of spreading rumors. Yet, the mention of a Lawsuit and the potential loss of her possessions sent a shiver down her spine.

Flustered, she managed to stutter out, “It, it wasn’t that severe.
