CHAPTER 788: CHAPTER 788: WERE YOU STUNNED?

In the evening, the banquet was held at a star hotel, attended by pharmacists launching the new drug, making it a great opportunity for medical exchange and discussion.

Clara Thornton wore a formal dress and looked at herself in the mirror, then smiled with satisfaction, "It’s been a while since I dressed up like this, didn’t expect to look quite presentable."

Not receiving a response for a while, she glanced back, only to see her junior sister, Tessa Thorne, daydreaming, lost in thoughts.

"Tessa." She called out to her.

"Ah? Senior sister, did you call me?" Tessa jerked back to reality, a bit flustered in her eyes.

She discreetly clenched her fists, her emotions in turmoil.

In her bag was the medicine given to her by Harvey Foster.

"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry and change your clothes, the banquet is about to start. We stay in the lab all day, it’s rare to have such a chance to relax, going to have some fun isn’t bad."

Tessa nodded, "Okay, I got it."

She nodded, masking the guilt in her eyes, then took the clothes beside her and went into the bathroom.

Moments later, Tessa changed and when the two of them were heading out, they met Henry Foster in the hallway. Seeing Clara Thornton’s glamorous attire, his eyes flashed with amazement.

He surprisingly took the initiative to greet them, which startled Tessa, leaving her too scared to speak, and could only hide behind Clara, pretending not to know him.

"Miss Thornton."

There had been too many people trying to get close to Clara Thornton these days, she was still wondering who this person really was.

Tessa whispered softly from behind Clara, "Senior sister, he is Henry Foster, the head of the Foster Family."

Clara suddenly realized, "Family Head Foster, hello."

"I would like the opportunity to tour with Miss Thornton, hoping you can grant me this opportunity."

Hearing these straightforward and slick words, Clara Thornton’s good demeanor disappeared.

Was she very familiar with this person? Why would she go on a tour with him? It’s simply inexplicable.

"Sorry, I’m very busy."

After saying this, Clara Thornton dragged Tessa with great personality, turning to leave in the direction of the banquet hall.

Henry Foster watched Clara Thornton’s slender back, his smile gradually becoming unfettered.

Rejecting him now was fine, but soon she would succumb to him.

Tessa turned and saw his sinister smile, involuntarily shuddering.

At this moment, Tessa felt even more guilty and uneasy.

Clara Thornton had helped her a lot, and she really didn’t want to harm her, but... but what about her elder brother?

Thinking of her elder brother, Tessa forcibly suppressed her guilt once more.

Senior sister, I’m sorry, don’t blame me, I have no other choice, blame Henry Foster instead.

In the elevator, they met Thomas Quincy again.

Although Thomas Quincy said he wouldn’t attend this banquet, he still had to make an appearance. He planned to make a brief appearance and then leave immediately.

The moment he saw Clara Thornton, Thomas Quincy was taken aback.

"Hey, Thomas Quincy, are you smitten? Am I beautiful today?" Clara Thornton crossed her arms and raised her brow, asking with overt confidence.

Thomas Quincy was indeed dumbfounded for a moment, not expecting Clara Thornton to dress up so well, actually a type to move a man’s heart, yet what a pity.

Thinking about how she always opposed him, all his romantic thoughts disappeared.

A hint of disdain appeared on Thomas Quincy’s face, and he sneered, "Clara Thornton, aren’t you a bit too narcissistic?"

Clara Thornton snorted lightly, such a duplicitous man, she clearly saw his eyes fixated just now, why pretend?

With a ’ding’, the elevator doors opened, and Clara Thornton and Tessa Thorne walked out together.
