Upon hearing Miranda's response, Crystal smiled slightly and headed upstairs to her room.

Just then, Jo approached. "Miss, as per your instructions, everything has been arranged for Crystal. The back estate's systems have been synchronized with her controls, so she can manage the irrigation and lighting systems of any area at any time."

Miranda nodded. "From now on, whatever Crystal needs, make sure she gets it. Treat her as you would treat me."

Jo replied, "Understood."

"Oh, and keep a safe distance when she's working on her experiments," Miranda warned. "Otherwise if she gets upset, she'll come looking for me."

Jo hesitated for a moment before uttering, "Got it."

Miranda was genuinely pleased to have Crystal around. However, Crystal had been facing some challenges lately. Her groundbreaking publications in top scientific journals had caught the attention of not only the academic community but also some unscrupulous biotech companies abroad.

Larry questioned, "Then what's there to be so happy about?"

Elian uttered, "You're too old to understand."

Caught off guard, Larry retorted grumpily, "You little rascal, what do you mean I'm too old to understand?"

Elian glanced at him, sizing him up "Looks like you're feeling better if you have the energy to get all worked up."

Larry grunted in response. "So, you saw Mira today?"

Elian's grin was preserved. "I did. She said she likes me."

Larry inquired tentatively, "Is there a chance she was joking?"

Elian's expression turned serious. "Not possible."
