Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Playing with Her Hair

Chapter 116

"Mr. Collins, do you have another daughter?" The person didn’t know much about the Collinses’ private affairs, only knowing they had a daughter and a son.

Tristan Collins’ expression stiffened, and he casually said, "She’s... quite naughty."

He didn’t explicitly use the words "not very capable," but they were already forming in his mind.

The man laughed, "All children are naughty; it’s just their nature to be lively. As long as they have the ability, nothing else matters."

Raine Nolan said, "My sister is amazing. Although she only scored 450 points on the exam this time, she’s better than me in some subjects. She’s the type to shine only when the time is right."

When the man heard this, he suddenly felt awkward, "Fou-, four hundred and fifty points?"

Numbers are more striking than words and easier to remember.

The man didn’t hear everything clearly, but he did catch the "450."

Tristan Collins’ cold gaze overflowed, and he didn’t say anything. Instead, he walked away with a proud face.

Rosalind Taylor and her mother followed them.

The man lowered his head slightly to show respect.

When the group walked away, someone approached with a smile, "Mr. Becker, do you know that Raine Nolan is Mr. Collins’ daughter from his second marriage? The real daughter isn’t her."

Mr. Becker nodded, mysteriously adding, "I know, but I always thought she was his illegitimate daughter."

The lady waved her hand, "No, she’s the daughter of his late wife’s sister, his step-daughter! His biological daughter is another girl, who reportedly has poor academic performance and no special talents, which is why he doesn’t like her."

Others gathered around and said, "Is it Chloe Collins? My son goes to the same school as her. I heard that girl is not good at studies, has no skills or abilities, but she has a knack for bending the rules. Somehow, she managed to get the school to make an exception and let her study in the key class."

"I heard that too; my daughter told me that as soon as she arrived at school, she beat up the top female student in academics. She’s quite fierce."

Mr. Becker raised his eyebrows, "That bad, huh..."

The lady said quietly, "In short, their eldest daughter is useless. In the future, Tristan Collins will probably just give her some money to get rid of her. With all her bad habits, any family that marries her as a daughter-in-law will be unlucky."

Meanwhile, in the courtyard.

Chloe checked the time and slowly got up from the rocking chair.

The faint evening light draped over her delicate back like a layer of gauze, giving her an ethereal air.

The girl’s skin was too eye-catching, and Alex was already regretting designing the formal dress with a strapless top.

Resisting the urge to take off his coat and put it on her, he reached out and evenly brushed her black hair to both sides of her shoulders.

Chloe stared at him as he casually played with her hair, her expression tense.

A delicate and cool fragrance filled her senses, carrying an inexplicable sense of bewitchment.

"Enough." She said softly, interrupting him, and stepped forward.

A hint of indulgence appeared in the man’s eyes as he watched her walk away, his handsome face lifted in a slight smile.

As they walked on the path outside the East wing, the elegant music slowly flowed in. It was being played by a professional orchestra, enhancing the atmosphere of the banquet.

Both sides of the path were beautifully adorned by gardeners, predominantly in a romantic white theme, with a few bright flowers for embellishment, making walking an enjoyable experience.

Before entering the banquet hall, the man stopped and offered his arm again.

Chloe frowned slightly, but her slender hand eventually took his arm.

The banquet hall was bustling with people and lively.

However, as Alexander Foster appeared, the noise abruptly subsided.
