Chapter 978


    Given the outrageous actions of the T3 Research Institute over the years, the heat had be 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, Arabe and rk''s people had been manipting, 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 rify 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 youe over, dear? I’ve told you don''t need to bring gifts to


    our house."


    “These are fruits from a distant rtive''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 particrly smooth taste, so I thought I''d bring it for


    you to try"


    As Crystal exined her gifts, Louisa hurriedly epted them, “Sweetheart, you''re too kind. rk has


    been busy with work since she got back from her trip with Be. 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 ufortable epting gifts from the girl, and yet Crystal always refused to ept


    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-inw and was overjoyed.


    After Louisa called rk, 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, rk 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 mepany, 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 youngdy attitude."


    “Mom, mom."


    Feeling the gaze of Carol and Dennis, rk 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 rk finished speaking, Carol quickly covered his mouth, signaling him not to say anything


    more.
