What of it?”
Her brazen words redirected everyone's attention. Rowan smiled affectionately, allowing Loraine to continue.
Laura sneered.
“Loraine, you are truly shameless! How dare you say something like that?”
Marina chimed in, her voice shrill with excitement. “Loraine, why so arrogant? You're under investigation! Did
you bribe the entire investigation team?”
Upon hearing Marina’s words, Laura chimed in, “Exactly! What else could a man and a woman be doing while
embracing? It’s clear you're in a relationship! How can you be so brazen? We demand another investigation!”
“Enough! Silence!” A commanding voice cut through the cacophony.
Marco could no Longer hold his tongue. He rose to his feet, his frosty gaze fixed on the pair.
Despite their claims of newfound support, Marina and Laura still feared
Marco and fell silent.

just say?”
Blinking in confusion, she stared at Loraine.
“You said Rowan is...?"”
Clearing her throat, Loraine continued, “This is my uncle, Rowan
Torres.”
