Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154: Anders Spence Seeks Help from Chloe Collins_1

Chapter 1154

"Layla, didn’t they say they’d release us tomorrow afternoon depending on our attitudes? How did they let us go so quickly? Did you hire a lawyer?"

"I must have."

Layla Lowell, agitated, said, "My phone was confiscated at that time. How could I call one?"

"Right, then who was it..."

Layla was also puzzled. Who could it be?

She turned and looked around, but saw no familiar faces.

"Don’t overthink it. It could be because the matter wasn’t really serious. We were just defending ourselves. If anyone will be detained, it should be those who started it."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Layla hailed a car to take them all to the hospital before she even thought of heading back to where she parked her car.

She wanted to head back to the base to treat her wounds, and then continue her research.

She knew she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight anyway.

But it seemed like fate was against her. That car appeared to be the last taxi available, and she couldn’t find another one.

Her rideshare app also wasn’t accepting any orders.

"Damn it!"

She cursed under her breath, then slowly started walking along the sidewalk, grimacing with every aching step.

A while later, someone finally accepted her rideshare order and arrived within five minutes.

By the time she had retrieved her car and reached the lab, it was almost 4 o’clock in the morning.

Outside the labs, a man was sitting inside a black vehicle, quietly watching her car enter through the main gate.

The man eyed the structure before him with a puzzled look on his face.

This wasn’t the Lowell residence. What was she doing here?

-

The next day, at the Fosters’ residence.

At eight in the morning, Chloe Collins entered the sitting room on her way to breakfast, but she was unexpectedly stopped by an imposing figure.

She halted in her tracks, her gaze steady and composed.

Anders Spence stopped in front of her, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Come with me to see Cherry."

"What’s it about?"

She leaned against the doorway, her eyes lazily blinking.

Anders Spence had never been this awkward before. He took a deep breath, then said, "I went to your school’s Osmanthus Garden for dinner last night. From the moment I walked in the door, you saw me. I want you to tell Cherry when I arrived and what I said."

Chloe Collins: "Why should I help you?"

"Because..." Anders thought about their relationship and couldn’t find a reason, so he said, "Consider it a favor that I owe you!"

Chloe smirked, "Not interested."

She sidestepped him and walked away.

Anders, looking rather distressed, quickly followed.

"I’ve been here since six o’clock this morning. In fact, I’ve been waiting outside the Foster’s gate all night. I just need you to clarify a couple of things, and then she’ll believe me."

Chloe Collins didn’t respond and continued walking.

The nanny brought in breakfast and placed it on the table.

Chloe sat down, "Mrs. Reese, could you swap the milk with juice for me?"

"Alright."

Just as the nanny was about to go, Anders beat her to it.

"I’ll do it."

Chloe picked up a bacon bun, took a bite, and said nothing.

The nanny left it to Anders and walked away.

In no time, a glass of freshly squeezed juice was served.

Anders sat down next to her, "If you don’t want to go, just record a video for me. I’ll show it to her."

Chloe glanced towards the napkins, about to grab one, but Anders again moved faster and handed her one.

"Do me a favor."

Chloe finished her bun and turned to look at him, "There’s surveillance over there."

Anders: "Strangely enough, the surveillance system broke down last night. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to ask you for help."

Chloe: "(≖‿≖)✧"
