Keira and Lewis drove quickly to the small alley where Matias and Nara lived.
The car was still parked outside.
The two hurried into the house, only to see Matias making soup in the kitchen.
Keira immediately asked, "Where is Nara?"
Matias said, "Nara went to the Gill residence."
Keira was stunned. "What?"
Matias said, "Nara said she had something to discuss with Lady Gill, so she went there. Keera, why have you come? Is there something wrong?"
Keira frowned.
It would be simple if the Fox wanted to sabotage her cooperation with the Gill family. If anything happened to Nara, that would be enough.
Even though Keira shouldn't be held accountable if something happened to Nara, considering the paranoid extent of Austin and Lady Gill, Keira couldn't rule out the possibility of being implicated herself.
The collaboration between Nora Research Institute and the Gill family was ultimately something they could forsake.
After all, only Nara was of utmost importance to Lady Gill and Austin.
Keira thought something would happen to Nara, but she didn't expect Nara to take the initiative to go to the Gill residence.
Keira asked, "Why did Nara go to see the Gills?"
Matias said, "I'm not sure. She wouldn't tell me."
Keira frowned, then glanced at Lewis, and the two decided to check on the Gill residence.
...
At this moment, Mrs. Spencer was heading out after finishing the conversation with Lady Gill.
When she and Gary walked toward the parking area, she glanced at Gary and felt slightly sad.
She silently sighed, then suddenly leaned closer to Gary. "Son, I'm doing this for your good. Please don't blame me! When you're older, you'll understand my good intentions."
Gary hung his head, silent, exuding a gloomy aura.
He clenched his fists tightly. "Mom, I can't bear to be without Nara. I really, really like her."
He looked at Mrs. Spencer. "Must I leave her?"
Mrs. Spencer frowned. "Stop nagging me about this. In everything else, I can give in, but not on this matter!"
She looked at Gary. "Drop this fantasy! You and that Nara, it's impossible!"
Having said that, she walked ahead with large strides.
Gary's head drooped once more as if his soul had been extracted, leaving behind only a walking corpse.
He followed Mrs. Spencer to the parking lot and got into the car.
Once the car started and left the gate, he looked outside...
He didn't want to have any more interaction with Mrs. Spencer.
But just as the car was about to exit the gate, he suddenly caught a glimpse of that familiar figure...
Gary immediately shouted, "Stop the car!"
Mrs. Spencer followed his gaze, commanding the driver. "Don't you stop!"
"If you don't stop, I'll jump out!"
The doors weren't yet locked since the car had just started and wasn't going fast. Gary opened the car door.
Mrs. Spencer was instantly alarmed. "Stop the car right now!"
The car screeched to a halt, and Gary immediately jumped out and ran up to Nara. "Nara, why are you here?"
Nara took out a notebook to write. "I'm here to see Lady Gill…"
But before she could finish writing, Mrs. Spencer grabbed her hand, and Nara turned her head just as Mrs. Spencer's palm landed harshly on her face!
Mrs. Spencer glared at her angrily, "Why are you bothering my son again? You little slut, why are you so disgraceful? Can't you live without a man? My son already said he broke up with you!"
Gary pushed Mrs. Spencer away and shielded Nara behind him. "Mom, why do you have to hit her?"
"Why do I have to hit her?" Mrs. Spencer stepped forward, bringing her face close to Gary's. "What does it matter if I hit her? Do you want to hit me back? Fine, you do it for her! Come, hit me here!"
Gary got increasingly frustrated by her antics. "Mom, enough! How could I possibly hit you?!"
Mrs. Spencer snorted. "Then why are you questioning me?"
She grabbed Gary's arm and pushed him aside, then faced Nara. "Let me tell you. You see? My son is here today to meet Miss Gill! Lady Gill has already given in, and Miss Gill is also very satisfied with my son, so just give up on him!"
Nara was stunned when she heard this.
Miss Gill was also satisfied?
But she had never said that!
She raised her hand, wanting to gesture some explanation. She hoped they could go with her to the Gill residence for clarification, but Mrs. Spencer wouldn't listen to her and just sneered. "However, the fact that a mute like you dares to come to the Gill residence shows you've got guts. Aren't you scared at all?
"Oh, I get it now. You must have seen us coming here. So you want to ask me to plead with the Gill family on your behalf?"
Nara shook her head and waved her hands in denial.
Seeing her frail figure, Gary couldn't help but say, "Mom! If you can help Nara, please do! I promise, if you help her, I'll do as you say!"
Mrs. Spencer immediately looked at him. "If I plead for Nara, and she's helped, you'll agree to break up with her and marry Miss Gill?"
Gary was taken aback.
Meanwhile, Nara waved her hands frantically, shaking her head, trying to communicate the truth to Gary.
Gary looked at his beloved girl, recalling the serene moments he had seen her at school, and suddenly, he burst into tears. "Nara, I like you... I've even designed a master bedroom for you in our house, thinking my mom could accept you..."
Seeing him cry, Nara anxiously reached out to wipe his tears, her tears falling freely.
She felt the same way...
She had never been moved by another man like this.
Gary continued. "I can't bear to watch you get mistreated anymore. I'm sorry... I love you..."
After saying that, he suddenly hugged Nara tightly.
But it was only a moment before he let go of her and pushed her away.
Then, wiping away his tears, he turned to Mrs. Spencer, clenched his fists tightly, and it took him a while before he could speak. "Mom, I promise you. If you help Nara, I'll break up with her and be with Miss Gill..."
Mrs. Spencer was taken aback when hearing this.
She looked at her son.
In the end, she sighed. "Fine, I'll take you back inside and say a few good words to Lady Gill for her! Once it's done, you'll take her away! Send her out of Clance and make sure she never comes back!"
Gary nodded and looked at Nara.
Unable to speak, Nara anxiously gestured the whole time, but when she saw they were going to Lady Gill, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
Once she saw Lady Gill, everything could be explained!
As Mrs. Spencer and Gary headed toward the Gill residence, Nara followed them.
Mrs. Spencer frowned at her. "You wait outside. I'll go in and see Lady Gill! The Gill family might not even let you through the door—you'll be an eyesore in their place!"
