His 181St Second (Laverne and Marina) novel Chapter 255

Marina hail always thought Barou didn’t have any issues at Toing

After all. Dion’s dad had spent years never stopping his griet for his late wife.

On his social media, he’d always bring up his wife who’d passed away in his posts and articles.

Anyone who tollowers him would say he was the definition of legal

Turns out, that loval husband persona was something he carefully crafted for himself.

No wonder news about Daron’s brother had never made it back ome all these years,

Marina glanced at Daron sitting there, and she couldn’t help but feel a sense of resignation.

For years, every holiday, Daron’s dad would

And every single time, he never failed to mention

he missed his late wife.

That constant mourning probably made Daron and Bette cringe every single time.

Marina turned her gaze out the window, her voice soft and tinged with resignation.

“If it really is him, then there’s no way we can just let this go,” Marina murmured, her tone heavy with determination.

With the Zamora Group being such a huge operation, losing the overseas market would seriously hurt the company.

Leo was running businesses overseas under the Zamora Group’s name, but he kept all the profits for himself instead of sending them back to HQ. It was like he was bleeding the Zamora Group dry just to benefit his own son.

Daron heard her, pulled his gaze back from the window, and looked at Marina. He said in a flat tone,

“My grandpa’s always told me not to push him too hard,” Daron said quietly.

Marina glanced at Daron, thought for a few seconds, then spoke in a low voice,

“After all these years, how much longer does he need to figure out his own way out?”

Daron took in her unfazed look, and suddenly a faint smile played at his lips.

He got up from his seat and strode over to stand right in front of Marina.

Marina tilted her head up at him, catching the spark that flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, Daron reached out and gently ruffled her hair.

“I really like your answer. It was a breath of fresh air,” he said.

Marina’s lips curled into a soft smile. She loved how good it felt to be seen by him.

It made her think, maybe the gap between them wasn’t as wide as she’d always believed.

“Deep down, Mr. Zamora, you already know how to handle this. It’s just that, since he’s your own family, you can’t bring yourself to make the call,” Marina said softly.

Her answer simply pointed him in the right direction.

Honestly, she felt like an idiot for blurting out the truth:

After all, this was a Zamora family father and son issue. Anyone se would have kept their mouth shut about it,

Marina knew she probably shouldn’t have said that out loud.

But for some reason, she just wanted to say it without holding back for once.

“Maybe we should start by looking into Garret’s mom,” Marina suggested thoughtfully.

As soon as she finished speaking. Daron gave a slight nod and strode out of the office.

Marina followed right behind him.

For the next while. Daron kept himself busy with work.

Marina just quietly stuck to her own tasks.

That afternoon, Daron had the Zamora Group’s PR team release an official announcement: out of all the branches in Frency, only one is officially managed by Zamora Group headquarters.

At the same time, they declared a complete split from the other branches registered under Holian’s name, and headquarters would cease all business and product support to those companies.

As soon as the news broke, Daron’s phone was ringing off the hook.

Even Marina, the new assistant, had her phone blowing up with messages from people fishing for details. Business reporters were even hitting her up for a comment.

Marina stuck to the official line, saying it was all about the company’s long–term strategy.

Daron’s car pulled up outside the hospital.

Marina saw him put his phone on silent as he headed into the hospital, so she quickly followed suit.

After they got inside the hospital, Daron pushed open the door and walked in.

Garret, who was checking his phone, instantly got up from the bed and pointed at his phone, showing the news.

“My phone’s about to explode! Everyone’s saying you’re splitting from your uncle. Is that actually true?” Garret blurted out.

Daron nodded.

“Yes, it’s true,” he replied.

Garret took a deep breath. “So this announcement… You’re not just trying to spook him, right?”

Daron pulled out a chair next to Garret’s bed and sat down.

“No. This is for real,” Daron said, his tone calm but resolute.

Garret studied Daron’s face for a moment, then let out a quiet “tsk.” So it really is serious, huh?‘ he thought, feeling a bit helpless.

Daron interrupted him.

“You look full of energy to me. I seriously doubt you need six months off,” Daron said dryly.

Garret instantly flopped back onto the bed, groaning dramatically as he put on a pained expression.

Ophelia spoke up again.

Your grandpa’s not getting any younger. Can’t you just hold off on all this until he’s… not around anymore? You know keeping the family together means everything to him,” she said, her tone heavy.

Daron looked up at her, his eyes cold.
