Chapter 67 Mr. Samwell, help!
"Miss Clark..."
"What are you doing?"
"Why are you lighting his cigarette?"
Everyone blinked hard, making sure they weren't seeing things.
'The renowned Celestria City Clark family’s highly respected Miss Clark had actually walked around half the table, bent over, and lit a cigarette for that guy herself?'
Everyone found this unbelievable.
Not only were the young people stunned, but even the elders like General Alan and General Jeffery were shocked!
The third miss of the Clark family was someone even they had to show respect to!
And Elbert was just an ordinary person!
'How could this situation arise?'
'Could they be a couple?'
'Did Elbert win Miss Clark's favor with his looks?'
'That didn't seem right!'
Alan and Jeffery thought to themselves.
In the current situation, Elbert was lounging with his legs crossed, smoking leisurely, while Miss Clark stood still and nervously behind him! This didn't look like a couple at all. It was completely like a master and servant!
"Miss Clark, do you know this person? His name is Elbert, just a driver," Ethan stammered, staring. "Why did you light his cigarette?"
Melissa's cherry lips parted slightly. "No reason, just because this gentleman wanted to smoke."
'Gentleman? Just wanted to smoke? What was Miss Clark saying?' Ethan exclaimed inwardly.
Mr. Brown was incredulous. "Miss Clark, you call Elbert 'gentleman'?"
"Yes." Melissa stood tall, neither humble nor arrogant. "Not to mention lighting a cigarette for this gentleman, even if he ordered me to give my life, I wouldn't dare disobey!"
Melissa was full of spirit at this moment! Since meeting Elbert, she had been suppressing the excitement in her heart. For some reason, she just wanted to get close to Elbert, to do things for him!
Just now, when Elbert picked up the cigarette, he finally gave Melissa a look! Melissa, being very perceptive, instantly understood!
Now that she had the opportunity to support him, she naturally had to go all out! Her actions just now were not because Elbert had something on her, forcing her to do it. They were completely heartfelt!
Hearing Melissa's words, the scene was eerily silent.
All the young people present knew that in terms of personal influence, Miss Clark was undoubtedly the most powerful among them! Even when comparing achievements, they deliberately didn't invite Miss Clark to join in, fearing they would look inferior!
But they didn't expect that the one frequently targeted, frequently mocked, and considered the least capable by everyone, Elbert, could actually make Miss Clark submit to him! Was this the so-called astonishing comeback?
Lori was even more in disbelief.
'Could it be that what Mary and Susan said about Elbert gambling billions in the casino was true?' thought she.
Mr. Brown was equally unsettled, and he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Clark, may I ask what your relationship with Elbert is?"
"Without his permission, I really cannot say," Melissa replied softly.
Mr. Brown took a deep breath. Elbert's relationship with the Clark family was extraordinary! Even the esteemed Miss Clark didn't dare defy Elbert!
Just as everyone was in shock, Aldrich's phone suddenly rang.
Aldrich immediately put on airs and said in a low voice, " What's so important? Do you have to call me now? I am in the middle of dining!"
"Mr. Samwell, it's bad. We're going bankrupt!" A frantic female voice was heard on the other end of the phone.
"Why are you panicking? Speak slowly. What did you say? Say it again?"
"Mr. Samwell, we're going bankrupt!" the female secretary on the phone said with a sob.
Upon hearing this, Aldrich jumped up from the table!
"How is that possible? I just left the company for a day. We have so much money in our accounts, and we have so many users. How could we go bankrupt just like that?" Aldrich shouted, and everyone in the Brown Family manor's dining room could hear it clearly!
"Mr. Samwell, do you know about the 'Gemini app'?"
"I know, what's up?"
"Just 20 minutes ago, on the Gemini app, in a very popular travel enthusiast section, an official post was suddenly published! This post detailed all the evidence of us damaging local ecosystems and occupying residential land in our travel routes! It also exposed the hidden extra charges in our packages!"
Aldrich was dumbfounded upon hearing this!
'I had no grudge against Gemini app! I didn't even know anyone from the Gemini app! Why were they attacking me?' thought him with a panicked expression on his face.
After a moment, Aldrich realized something and urgently said, "But it only ruins our reputation; it wouldn't cause the company to go bankrupt. Don't panic!"
The voice on the phone sounded desperate. "Mr. Samwell, the most fatal part is that while exposing us, the Gemini app's travel section also directly released 120 brand new travel routes! Covering the globe! And each one is an unknown, beautiful scenery! The most important part is that they are completely free! Their routes are both safe and environmentally friendly, much better than our packages! Nearly 20,000 of our customers who had paid deposits have requested refunds in the past 10 minutes! The company's money has been used by you to grease the wheels, and we have no money to refund them! Now, many people have come to the company to make trouble, Mr. Samwell; please come and save the situation!"
The female secretary suddenly let out a scream, seemingly interrupted by someone. All that could be heard was an angry shout. "You scammers, how dare you cheat me and my wife's travel money! Give it back!"
The call ended. Aldrich sat there in a daze, his face ashen.
