NovelXXXChapter 590 "This stubborn girl won't listen no matter what I do. I've tried again and again to show her goodwill, but nothing works. It's like she holds a deep grudge against our family." Now, she was making her hostility public online, clearly out to ruin the Glenwood family's reputation.
Talbot just couldn't wrap his head around it—what on earth did she gain by opposing them? "Could it be because of what happened last time?" Theo suddenly muttered, as if the thought had just struck him.
"What happened?" Talbot turned to his son, puzzled.

None of the hospitals under our company's wing were any good, so I took her to Crestwood Medical Research Center. While we were there, I got into an argument with Citrine Carmichael. It got pretty ugly. Do you think... do you think this is all because of that?" "Crestwood Medical Research Center? How did you two even cross paths?" Talbot shot Theo a perplexed look. It dawned on Theo that his father had no idea. He explained earnestly, "Dad, you probably haven't heard-Citrine is actually the mysterious owner behind Crestwood Medical Research Center." The words had barely left Theo's lips when Talbot's face went slack with shock.
His grip on his phone slipped. It crashed to the floor with a loud clatter, the screen shattering into pieces. "You... You're tellingCitrine Carmichael is the chairwoman of Crestwood Medical?" Talbot stared at Theo in disbelief.
Theo nodded.
"Everyone at the hospital takes orders from her. Even Nathanael follows her every word." So, Citrine Carmichael was the mastermind behind Crestwood Medical.
The CICI Group. Crestwood Medical. Talbot realized just how formidable that "stubborn girl" really was. If she truly becthe Glenwood family's enemy, their standing in Crestwood was as good as gone.
Suddenly, Talbot felt drained. He fixed Theo with a piercing gaze. "Theo, I don't care how you offended her. You need to go and apologize. If you make her any angrier, it'll only spell disaster for the Glenwood family." Theo didn't even hesitate before refusing. Dad, no way. That girl's got a razor-sharp tongue. If I go, I'll probably get humiliated in front of everyone." Oddly enough, once Talbot understood that Citrine's hostility was because of Theo's outburst, he felt a sliver of relief.
If it was just anger, maybe there was a way to make amends-give her a chance to vent, and she'd probably call off her crusade.
Talbot placed a heavy hand on Theo's shoulder and said in a somber tone, "Theo, this scandal is causing us serious trouble. The Glenwood family is barely holding on as it is. If we go head-to-head with Citrine Carmichael, we're finished. The only way out is to swallow our pride and make things right." Theo's expression softened, and after a moment's silence, he finally nodded. "Alright. I'll do it." Without another word, Theo grabbed his keys and drove straight to the Medical Research Center.

Meanwhile, Citrine was napping in her office when an assistant cto report Theo's arrival. She didn't even bother to open her eyes. "Tell him to get lost." A few minutes later, the assistant relayed Citrine's message to Theo, word for word.
Theo's face darkened. Several times he considered just leaving, but he knew he couldn't.
If Citrine refused to see him, he'd just have to wait.
That day, Theo stood outside the research center from morning until nightfall, waiting in vain for Citrine to appear.
He was just about to give up and head hwhen he finally caught sight of her "Citrine Carmichael!" he called out loudly.
