Chapter 978
Given the outrageous actions of the T3 Research Institute over the years, the heat had become too
intense. Some big shots couldn't suppress it and could only stir trouble for Romeo and his crew behind
the scenes.
But Romeo was prepared. Their arrival was akin to walking into a trap, only pushing them deeper into
the abyss.
Meanwhile, Arabella and Clark's people had been manipulating, fermenting, and expanding the impact
of the events. In no time, wave after wave of attention catapulted these incidents to the pinnacle.
The world was watching.
Many influential figures were dragged into the mess, scrambling to clarify their positions. Countless
entrepreneurs released statements, their anxiety palpable. Even those who wanted to clear their
names couldn't stop the spreading of these events.
Louisa sat on her sofa at home, stunned by the news, "What on earth is happening? How did the world
turn into this? Did these issues exist before??"
"Oh my God, how could this happen??” Even the servants, seeing the news on their phones, were
crept out.
The world they lived in seemed entirely different from the one being exposed.
At this time, a servant came in, “Ma‘am, Miss Temple is here."
“Crystal?"
Louisa hadn't recovered from her shock when she saw Crystal Temple enter with a smile and an armful
of gifts.
“Why do you always bring so much when you come over, dear? I’ve told you don't need to bring gifts to
our house."
“These are fruits from a distant relative's orchard, and they're really sweet. I picked them myself. And
this tea, I saw it at an auction. They said it has a particularly smooth taste, so I thought I'd bring it for
you to try"
As Crystal explained her gifts, Louisa hurriedly accepted them, “Sweetheart, you're too kind. Clark has
been busy with work since she got back from her trip with Bella. Sit down for a bit, and I'll give her a
call."
“No need, Auntie. Don't disturb him. I just came to check on you."
“I had something to discuss with him anyway. I'll go upstairs to get something for you."
Louisa was always uncomfortable accepting gifts from the girl, and yet Crystal always refused to accept
any in return.
During her shopping trip with Serena today, she thought of getting something for Crystal.
At that time, Crystal thought she had won the favor of her future mother-in-law and was overjoyed.
After Louisa called Clark, she quickly said, “Son, Crystal is here again. What are your intentions
towards her? Be clear with your mother. I think she’s quite good in terms of her family background,
character, education, looks, and personality. I'm quite pleased with her. Why don’t you try dating her?"
At this moment, Clark was feeding Carol some medicine. His phone was on speaker, and he didn't
expect his mother to suddenly say such a thing.
Before he could refute it, Louisa continued.
“The girl visits us every now and then, shows concern for us, and always brings gifts. Last time when I
had a stiff neck, she gave me a massage, and it was better in no time, amazing. With Serena away for
school and no young people at home, she specially came over to keep me company, doing beauty
treatments and having afternoon tea with us. And your father, when his back was hurting, she brought
soup, a massage chair, and even invited a renowned doctor to check on him. Despite growing up with a
silver spoon, she doesn't have the typical rich young lady attitude."
“Mom, mom."
Feeling the gaze of Carol and Dennis, Clark hurriedly interrupted his mother, “Mom, I’ve told you many
times that she and I can only be siblings in this life. I have a girlfriend, and I'll bring her over to meet
you sometime."
As soon as Clark finished speaking, Carol quickly covered his mouth, signaling him not to say anything
more.
