The two had not only failed to engage with the Cruz family but also worsened the relationship between the two families.
They were scolded by Liza Bryant, Marco’s grandmother.
“You two are fit for nothing. It’s a small matter. You couldn’t even handle that!”
Liza was seventy years old. Her silver hair was neatly combed into a tight bun.
Although Liza Looked old, one could tell she must have been a ravishing beauty when she was young. Her brows furrowed. Her harsh features made her look menacing.

Jolie nodded worriedly. “She looks rude and arrogant. You better be careful around the woman, or just ignore her.”
“It’s okay. I’ll go there and have a look.”
Loraine walked to the reception hall. She stopped short, and her body froze when she saw the visitor. The mere sight of the woman annoyed
