Loraine burst into laughter.
Why was this man so foolish?
Gritting her teeth, she asked coldly, “Don’t you want to explain your reasons to me?”
“It’s all my fault.” Marco paused and murmured, “Loraine, I'll do whatever you want to compensate you.”
Loraine’s heart sank as she gripped the phone tightly.
She knew Marco had been acting strangely these past few days, and she had asked him about it both directly

Perhaps she had overestimated her significance to him, believing herself to be different in his heart.
But what was the difference?
He would rather torment himself than confide in her.
Loraine’s words dripped with coldness as she spoke in a hard tone,
“Fine, if you are so insistent on helping your family, I'll grant your wish. | won't sue them.”
“Thank you.”
“You're welcome. Consider it repayment for your kindness in saving my uncle. We're even now.”

Loraine’s anger was palpable as she interrupted him, her tone cold and unyielding.
Despite her words, Marco remained silent, his breathing growing heavier.
Loraine’s nose twitched.
She felt a sense of incompetence.
She had made up her mind when she had divorced Marco. How could she still be affected by him?
“My apologies, Loraine,” Marco uttered in a raspy tone.
Loraine nibbled on her lip for a moment before abruptly ending the call.
