Nara knew that those sending her messages didn't genuinely care about her; they just wanted to know what happened.

Besides these private chats, a heated discussion was also underway in her class chat group.

"Someone said yesterday that Nara received an interview invitation from the Nora Research Institute, but who knows if it's true."

"It must be a lie, right? She probably just made it up!"

"The mute girl is dreaming too big. Why would a place like the Nora Research Institute allow her entry?"

"Why not just tag her and find out?"

Indeed, someone tagged Nara and asked her.

"Did you really go for an interview at the Nora Research Institute? Or were you deceived?"

What followed were comments full of mockery.

Nara didn't respond because she was still in shock, feeling as if she were dreaming.

Were the things that happened in the HR department real?

A monthly salary of eight thousand... which intern could earn so much?

And she was accepted... it was simply unbelievable!

As she was still in shock, her phone suddenly vibrated when a new message was posted in the chat group.

"According to a news report, Nora Research Institute has, for the first time, accepted an undergraduate student as an intern this year. The student, from the Class of 2022, has excellent academic records, consistently ranking first in her courses."

Upon this news release, the class group immediately exploded.

"Wait, what?! Isn't that Nara?! She's been at the top of our class every year since first year!"

"So, it's true, the Nora Research Institute really accepted Nara!"

"Oh my God! I'm so envious!"

"How is this possible? In past years, the Nora Research Institute only hired PhDs; suddenly, they accepted Nara this year... couldn't be because she's mute, could it?"

"Why would you say that?"

"Don't you know? Large companies are required to employ people with disabilities; maybe the Nora Research Institute just wants to use her to fill a quota?"

"That's quite possible. But the Nora Research Institute isn't exactly a large company, right? Their Clance office seems to employ only about a hundred people."

"Who knows how many people they actually have, but I'm sure that's the reason. Otherwise, why would they accept someone like Nara..."

"I've been watching you guys chat in silence, but I can't stand to hear this. What's wrong with Nara? Other than being unable to speak, is she missing an arm or a leg? The snide remarks in this group… I can smell them through the screen!"

"Exactly! If Nara hadn't offended someone she shouldn't have, she wouldn't be struggling to find a job! She's always been so diligent with her work, and for years, she's been the hardest-working one in our class. Isn't it only right for the Nora Research Institute to recognize her merit?"

"Even if the Nora Research Institute is using her to meet the disability hiring quota, I believe that Nara will do very well there!"

"That's right, if you don't have anything nice to say, just shut your mouths!"

...

Nara looked at the people in the group who were speaking out for her with righteousness, and she felt like crying.

She turned to look at the Nora Research Institute again, but she was no longer confused.

Even if the Nora Research Institute admitted her merely because she had a disability, she wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity!

Nara had known since she was young that opportunities only came to those who were prepared.

She looked at Matias and gestured with her fingers. "Brother, we're not leaving the city! I must work really hard and try to stay at the Nora Research Institute after I graduate!"

Matias, amidst his excitement, immediately nodded. "Great!"

He then picked up his phone and sent a message. "I'll also let Keera know. She'll definitely be happy for you!"

...

When Keira received their message, she wasn't very excited. She simply replied with a congratulations and put down her phone.

She looked at James sitting opposite her, massaging her temples. "I won't interfere with Mary's matters."

James had a pained expression. "But Ellis already has a fever and has been sent to the hospital. If this torment continues, he won't be able to take it. Keera, please have mercy on him!"

Keira shook her head. "Did he ever have mercy on Mary when he drugged her?"

James didn't know what to say.

He wanted to say more, but Kate pushed him away. "Exactly, Keera is right!"

James continued with a sorrowful face. "I just can't bear to see Ellis so upset and not lend a hand to help, alas!"

He rested his chin in his hand. "Is there really no chance for Ellis and Mary to reconcile?"

Keira said, "That's Mary's decision. Let her think about it herself. I can't favor him just because he's my brother and let Mary give him a pass; that wouldn't be fair to Mary."

James nodded reluctantly, "Fine."

He then looked at Keira again. "The company has been hectic lately. Uncle Olsen comes to the office every day to stop some of the old employees from making trouble, and Ellis is ill in a time like this!"

As he was speaking, the nanny walked in and came directly to Keira. "Madam, someone is outside claiming to be your Aunt Helen. Should I let her in?"

Aunt Helen?

Keira paused for a moment, remembering that she had seen this aunt at the family reunion banquet the other day.

She nodded.

James, also curious, asked, "What is Auntie doing here?"

The servant walked out and soon brought in a middle-aged woman. As she entered, she looked at Keira and said, "Keera, do you know that because of you, the Olsen Group is facing off against the Gill family?"

Keira nodded. "I know." novelbin

Aunt Helen's face turned cold immediately. "Then do you realize how domineering your father has been in the company? I heard that the shareholders all oppose falling out with a major corporation over personal reasons. Still, your father insists on having his way, and for your sake, he single-handedly stood against so many shareholders' objections. He's working so hard. Are you going to watch and do nothing?"

Aunt Helen continued. "I know your father loves you dearly; you didn't grow up in the Olsen family, and he feels guilty toward you. But Keera, the Olsen Group isn't your father's personal enterprise; many people and issues are involved! Furthermore, the Olsen Group is a listed company. Last time, the scandal involving Ellis and Mary blew up, affecting the stock prices. Luckily your brother quickly advertised the company's new product.

"Now that your situation has gotten out, it's going to impact the company's reputation again! So, if you are sensible and understand the difficulty we elders face, come with me now to apologize to the Gill family and put this matter to rest."
