FreeNovelIt wouldn't surprise her if he’d had dealings with the Cruz family of
Zodiac.
Marco pursed his lips, shaking his head without hesitation. “No connection. At most, I've interacted with Grady
and Mrs. Cruz, but no direct dealings with the Cruz family of Zodiac.”
Loraine mused over this, puzzled by Tillie’s seemingly familiar reaction earlier.
But if Marco had no association with them, what had provoked Tillie’s reaction?
Regaining her composure, Tillie attempted to gloss over the situation with a Light cough. “I apologize, | must
have confused you with someone else. This gentleman bears a striking resemblance to an acquaintance of
mine.”

Her unsettled demeanor lingered, her anticipations unfulfilled as she cast another glance at Marco, asking, “Sir,
might I inquire as to who you are? And how do you know the young master, Grady Cruz, from our
Cruz family?”
Marco didn’t reciprocate Tillie’s inquiry with a friendly response.
She'd just displayed disdain towards Loraine, sporting an arrogant demeanor. Even though he didn’t know who
she’d mistaken him for, he had no intention of indulging her curiosity.

Tillie appeared somewhat embarrassed at not receiving a response and guessed that Marco's indifference had
something to do with her earlier impoliteness. She also knew better than to make a scene.
It was Loraine who, in consideration of her friendship with Ariadna and for the sake of clarification, interjected,
“This is Marco Bryant, the
CEO of the Bryant Group. He has business connections with the Cruz family in the antique art industry in Vagow,
hence their acquaintance.”
On hearing the n“Bryant,” Tillie’s expression grew even more perplexed, murmuring to herself, “The Bryant
family... Why such a similarity? How could they Look so much alike?”
Loraine glanced at Tillie, curiously asking, “Similar to whom? Who did you mistake him for? Is there someone
from the Cruz family in Zodiac who resembles him?”
Judging by Tillie’s tone when mentioning that person, even without a name, it was clear that she held this
individual in high regard, hinting at their eminent status.
But what possible connection could Marco have with the Cruz family?

Marco's brow furrowed deeper, a look of distaste apparent. He already harbored a negative impression of Grady
and Florence of the Cruz family, and now, Tillie’s comments just amplified his distaste. He wanted no association
with the Cruz family.
His reluctance to pursue the topic further was evident in his grim expression.
Tillie spoke hesitantly. “No, no. As | mentioned earlier, | mistook him for someone else. Oh, | must return. Miss
Ariadna must be getting anxious without me...”
With that, she hastily retreated, Leaving Loraine to ponder her strange behavior.
The peculiar interaction with Tillie made both of them puzzled. Loraine felt compelled to clarify to Marco, “The
girl in the bed next to mine is Miss Ariadna of the Cruz family from Zodiac. That Tillie is her servant.”
Marco nodded. He was indifferent to Tillie’s identity; had she not offended Loraine, he wouldn't have engaged
with her at all.
