Nara picked up her phone in a daze, only to see a text


    message.


    She took a deep breath, wiped away the tear stains on her face, and opened the message.


    The message was from an unfamiliar number, it read. “Hello, we have received your resume. Please


    come to ourpany for an interview. Nora Research


    Institute.”


    Nara stared at the content, her expression one of


    shock and astonishment,


    Had she read that wrong?


    She frantically wiped the corners of her eyes and


    looked at the message again, only to see the words still there, unchanged.


    She suddenly stood up, staring incredulously at her phone.


    What was going on?


    The Nora Research Institute replied to her email?!

    She was so astonished that she burst into tears of joy.


    While she was shocked, a neighbor said, “Nara, what are you doing here? I just saw your older brother.


    He looked furious as he walked by. Did something happen.


    at home?”


    Nara was taken aback.


    She quickly grabbed the neighbor’s arm and wrote, “You said my brother just saw me from a distance?”


    “Yeah, he was standing there watching you for quite some time. When I came over to say hello, I saw


    him. take out his phone and check your school’s intr. Then he stormed off. Didn’t something


    happen?”


    A shock went through Nara’s chest as she suddenly realized what was happening.


    “Thank you,” she wrote.


    Leaving these words behind, she immediately dashed toward the hospital where she was interning.


    Her brother must have seen her crying, then looked at the school intr and discovered everything


    that happened. He was on his way to stand up for her!


    Damn it!


    O


    Then she remembered the bodyguards from the Gill family at the hospital. Biting her lip, she quickly


    took out her phone and texted Keira while running.


    “Keera, my brother went to see Jackson!”


    After sending the message, she got on the bus and anxiously urged the bus driver to move faster.


    Indeed, even in such a tense moment, Nara never considered taking a taxi. In her mind, that was an


    extremely luxurious thing to do.


    The bus soon reached her stop, and she ran as fast as possible, but she was still a few steps behind


    her


    brother.


    In the hospital room, Jackson was humiliating Ma


    “What’s the use of begging me by kneeling here? Le me tell you, I don’t want your apology. Your sister


    wa here the other day; she gave me ten loud, useless


    kowtows!


    “How about this? Crawl under my bodyguard’s crotch! Oh, and maybe pee yourself afterward and then


    lick it clean? Then I might consider letting your sister off the


    hook!”


    O


    )


    Then came Matias’s enraged roar. “Jackson, don’t push your luck! My surname is still Gill. Aren’t you


    afraid I’ll go to the head of the Gill n?”


    The Gill n was a major n in nce, with their own head and n records.


    Normally, people appeal to them for resolution of any matter, only turning to the police as ast resort.


    These were deemed internal affairs of the Gill family,


    after all.


    Jacksonughed scornfully upon hearing this. “What are you? Do you think you can just enter the n


    head’s residence at will? And have you forgotten..”


    Jacksonughed arrogantly. The current head of t Gill n is my father! Are you going toin ab


    me to my father? How hrious! Matias, you and you sister are just distant rtives from who knows


    how many generations ago. Do you think my father will favor me or you?”

    Nara felt as if she was struck by lightning, and she froze in ce upon hearing this.


    She stared fixedly at the door of the hospital room.

    She was utterly baffled.


    Wasn’t this a society ruled byw? Why could Jackson


    be so brazen?


    Nara clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips touching the jade pendant around her neck.


    If it was a matter of status, didn’t that make her the legitimate heir to the direct lineage?


    She was shaking. Blood rushed to her head as she suddenly strode into the hospital room!


    At the South residence.


    Keira had just woken up and was looking at her


    Before she opened Nara’s message, Lewis said, “M and Nara have gone to see Jackson.”


    Only then did Keira see the content of the message.


    She stood up abruptly. “Why did they go to see


    Jackson?”


    Lewis remarked coolly, “They’re just making trouble for themselves.”

    O


    them off just because they said a few nice words to


    him.


    They were too naive!


    Before Keira could act, Lewis had already handed over her coat, leading her outside.


    Keira had long be ustomed to his meticulous care, and they left the house together.


    Lewis suddenly slowed down the car as they drove out of the neighborhood. Keira was slightly taken


    aback. “What’s wrong?”


    Lewis pointed toward somewhere not far away.


    Keira turned and realized that Ellis had been silent standing there, intently watching their gate.


    Keira didn’t know what to say.


    So, he hadn’t been waiting in front of the vi but hade here to stay all night?


    His suit was still damp, and his hair seemed to have dried in the wind. Hisplexion was pale, and


    his lips were colorless. He looked exhausted as if he had caught a cold.
