With that, he swiftly turned and sprinted off, creating a significant gap in seconds.
The remaining henchmen, their courage evaporated, hastily dispersed, leaving the area deserted in a blink.

“Are you alright, Mrs. Harvey?” Angela’s Library Eloise took a moment to compose herself, shook her head to signal she was unharmed, and expressed her gratitude, “Thank you, Marco. Truly.” Helping Eloise to a nearby bench, Marco asked softly, “What was that about?” Eloise paused, sighed, and began to explain.
“That girl, Judie Cooper.
She wants to purchase the orphanage Land for a farmhouse. | initially resisted, but the Coopers argued it was for the community's benefit.
Besides, I'm not getting any younger, so | told Judie I'd consider it if she helped find a suitable place for the children of the orphanage.” Marco's instincts told him it wasn’t as simple as that.
Eloise continued, “But Judie didn’t want to spend a dfor the children. After several rounds of negotiation, | realized they were all overbearing and selfish! She began causing trouble here because | didn’t agree. It's been escalating lately. | tried appealing to the village head, but to no avail. It's appalling.” Marco's disdain for Judie grew as he listened.

If Loraine knew about this, she would certainly help settle the issue.” The Cooper Famil Marco discovered through Loraine that the Torres family had consistently maintained contact with Eloise. Special delegates were sent to distribute grants annually.
If Eloise raised an issue, the Torres family would certainly act, and given their resources, they would likely solve it thoroughly.
However, neither the Torres family nor Loraine were aware of the hardship the orphanage was facing, indicating that Eloise had opted not to disclose this information.
Eloise let out a sigh but didn’t say anything.
Aware of Eloise’s significance to Loraine, Marco paid close attention to her. He queried, “Why didn’t you say something? Are you facing any difficulties?” Eloise was taken aback at Marco's question, not expecting his perceptiveness. His understanding made her even more glad that Loraine had found such a considerate man.
“I... 1 didn’t want to involve Lorrie in any trouble,” Eloise finally confessed.
