Multitasking was not something difficult for Evan.


    "Capital University''s request for our professors to teach sses wasn''t something I brought up when I


    took over the management of thepany. Dr. Craw, you should be aware of this.


    "But since you''ve agreed to it, I''ll make sure to handle themunication with them. You can trust me,"


    said Evan.


    Getting Evan’s uncle to agree to such a matter was effortless.


    After all, it was not a challenging task. His uncle was the kind of person who focused solely on the


    education sector. As for other matters, he was not keen on managing them. Otherwise, the Turner


    family would not have entirely relied on his father.


    "Alright, I''ll wait for your good news," replied Luca, making it clear that she would not be able to teach


    sses at Capital University this week.


    After that, she turned around and left.


    The moment Luca left the office, Evan paused his work and picked up his phone. He dialed the number


    for the president of Capital University.


    "Uncle, it''s Evan."


    "Evan, why are you calling at this hour? Is there something wrong?"


    Evan exined Luca''s request to the person on the other end of the line. After he received


    confirmation, she would delegate the arrangement to her assistant.


    This indicated that the temporary recement professor would hand over all teaching materials and


    course details to the assistant.

    After themunication was sorted out, Evan let out a sigh of relief. This matter concerned the future


    talent supply between Capital University and Watson. Luca''s agreementid a solid foundation for the


    company to absorb talent.


    Considering Luca''s close rtionship with Luke, Evan initially thought she would not agree. He was


    even prepared to persuade other professors to teach the sses.


    After all, if Luca was unwilling to teach and Luke pressured him, there was nothing much he could do


    about it.


    However, to his surprise, Luca agreed.


    Now, the cooperation with Capital University was sealed.


    Meanwhile, in a vi owned by the Mallory family in A City, a press conference was underway.


    Luca was unaware of this event, but when she returned to theboratory, she overheard one of the


    researchers mentioning it casually.


    As long as it did not affect their work, Luca would not stop them from chatting. After all, casual


    conversation was a way to foster camaraderie among colleagues.


    When Luca heard what the researcher said, she could not help but ask, "Madam Mallory''s press


    conference is confirmed for today?"


    "Yes, several major media outlets are said to be onsite for live coverage. Dr. Craw, are you interested in


    this?" The researcher turned to look at her.


    Luca shook her head. She was merely surprised that the event had been dyed for so long.


    She thought Karen had already held the press conference. She did not expect it to start just now, which


    was surprising.


    After all, she remembered Karen hade looking for trouble with Luke after she caught Ss. That


    was a long time ago.


    She replied, "I remember the incident happened quite a while ago. That’s why I find it strange. News


    updates every day nowadays, and I reckon the incident has lost its heat. Is it really necessary to hold a


    press conference to rify things now?"


    "That’s true. Nobody''s paying attention to her scandalous affairs online anymore. After all, several


    celebrity scandals have surfaced recently, and everyone loves discussing those more.


    "But she had the media publish yesterday that there''d be a press conference today, which has reignited


    the people’s interest in this matter."


    "Indeed, everyone is discussing her past events now, which had already faded away before. Still, she


    insists on rifying. Which PR firm is the Mallory family using? I''m not a professional, but I feel like


    rifying things at this point would be toote. It would be better to just let it go since the matter has


    passed."


    "Exactly. If they''re innocent, as long as the Mallory family knows it and believes it, that should be


    enough. There''s no need to make such a fuss. Isn''t this just putting the Mallory family in the spotlight?"


    The group engaged in a lively discussion.


    Luca was no longer involved in the conversation at this point.


    She thought to herself that Karen really knew how to cause trouble for the Mallory family. She guessed


    that Percy would have to seek his PR department’s help to handle this matter.


    For some reason, whenever Luca thought of Karen, it reminded her of Allison, who was still undergoing


    stic surgery in Seoul.


    She had not heard Luke mention Allison recently and neither did she know her current situation.


    Still, no news might be good news. With things in turmoil in A City, it would be best if Allison stayed in


    Seoul and note back.


    She should at least wait until they resolved all the issues with the Ind of Despair... At the thought of


    this, Luca continued to work on her experiments.


    After a few more random remarks from the people in theb, they stopped discussing.


    Since Luca was no longer participating in the topic anymore, they did not want to gossip and risk


    upsetting herter.


    At the Mallory Estate, Karen was wearing a pair of oversized sunsses and sitting on the makeshift


    stage for the press conference.


    She could not be bothered finding another location. The garden of this vi was spacious enough, so


    she decided to hold it here.


    The morning sunlight filtered through the trees, but the weather was getting increasingly humid. Even


    the scattered sunlight felt too scorching.


    Many reporters were using handheld fans to cool themselves.


    Karen''s expression was not too pleasant either. She looked at the reporters present and saw there


    were not many of them, which meant her rification came toote and it had lost its news value.


    It was as though even with the rification released, not many people would pay attention, or rather,


    not many would believe it.


    Karen''s mood turned sour.


    When her subordinate, Anthony, approached and quietly reminded her, "Madam, it''s time as per the


    invitation letters, but not many reporters have arrived. Should we start now?"


    "Just wait a bit longer!" Karen did not want to do something futile. She had to wait this long before


    holding the rification press conference all because of Ss!


    Ss'' face was swollen for a long time.


    Later, she found out that Ss, to avoid rifying, would secretly p his face when those two men


    were not paying attention.


    Even though he was not very forceful, after a few ps, the swelling on his face would not go down.


    After Karen found out about this, she wished she could cripple him.


    However, she held back and finally had the two men tie up Ss''s hands and feet. That way, there was


    no way Ss could do anything to his face. With his face no longer swollen, she immediately arranged


    the press conference.


    Still, it was toote...


    Anthony nced at the reporters below. All of them were visibly impatient due to the increasingly hot


    weather.


    He whispered, "Madam, the weather is getting hotter, and we’re outdoors. I''m afraid these reporters


    might leave if we wait any longer."


    Usually, press conferences were held indoors, but Karen thought there would be many people and the


    indoor living room could not amodate everyone. That was why she set it up outside despite the


    exceptionally hot weather.


    Now, Karen was practically begging the reporters to help her with interviews and coverage rather than


    the reporters demanding explosive news from her.


    Their perspectives were different. Hence, these reporters did not have much patience to wait.
