Chapter 980


    Arabe was starting to feel better, and upon hearing that Dennis and her brother rk were about to


    get into a spat, she decided to intervene. She lightly rapped on the door to Carol''s room, and seeing


    the defensive posture Dennis had taken, she spoke softly, "Go easy on my brother."


    “Arabe, you don''t understand." Dennis was about to enlighten Arabe about rk''s transgressions,


    but the warning look in her eyes stopped him mid-sentence.


    Truth be told, over the years of knowing Arabe, he hade to fear her stern gaze. It was unnerving


    and somehow managed to rattle him.


    His bravado faltered, and he tried to justify his stance, "He was in the wrong."


    Arabe then turned her gaze to rk, who, under the pressure, admitted, "It was my fault."


    “Talk it out,’ suggested Arabe, uninterested in meddling in their affairs.


    Leaning against the door, she added casually, “Don''t disturb my sleep."


    Dennis’ fiery temper seemed to dampen at her words. Carol, noticing the change, wondered if her


    brother was really that influenced by Arabe''s words.


    Could it be? no, it was not possible, right?


    Arabe, after instructing the servant at the door to keep an eye on them, left nonchntly. The servant


    was astounded. Just a few words from Ms. Be and the tense atmosphere had eased.


    “Brother, it was wrong of me not to inform the family about my rtionship with Carol a year ago,’ rk


    admitted. "I wanted to wait until our rtionship was stable, propose to Carol, and then inform the


    family. I did not want our family to disturb Carol''s peaceful life prematurely."


    He knew just how enthusiastic his mother could be, always ready to drop by for a visit or even spy on


    Carol.


    “My feelings for Carol are genuine,’ rk dered. “During her absence over the past year, I was in


    agony. Now that she''s back, I will double my efforts to take care of her, be with her, and help her


    recover Carol was moved and looked at him with softened eyes.


    “As for Crystal, I''ve always considered her a sister and have never crossed any boundaries. I swear it”


    rk exined. “My mother just loves to meddle.


    Since my brother Hans and Chasel both have girlfriends, she naturally turned her attention to me."


    He intended to introduce Carol to the family once they both had recovered.


    “But you heard it yourself. Your mother cares a lot about social standings.


    Diana doesn''te from a prominent family, she’s not a rich heiress, her personality is not outgoing,


    and she doesn''t try to please anyone. Plus, she''s the next in line for the organization."


    None of these things was favored by Louisa.


    “My mother cares more about her son''s happiness. As long as I love the person, she will definitely


    approve."


    He was confident about this.


    “Besides, I don''t think there''s anything wrong with Carol''s personality. I like her just the way she is. She


    doesn''t have to please anyone when she''s with me. Whether she''s a rich heiress ores from a


    prominent family doesn''t matter to me."


    All that mattered was that Carol was by his side.


    Meanwhile.


    Crystal, carrying the clothes Louisa had given her, was just about to leave the Collins family mansion


    when she spotted Serena and Martha whispering in the garden.


    She knew that Martha had been serving Serena for eighteen years and that their rtionship was as


    close as mother and daughter.
