Chapter 1189

The Master looked awful, his face drawn tight.

Manie York slowly withdrew her hand, reassuring her grandfather, "I won’t give up."

This heartfelt sentiment moved him, and he immediately said, "Then Manie can stay here tonight, Evelyn, you make arrangements."

Evelyn Thompson: "Ah, this...."

"It’s settled."

After an unpleasant dinner, the Master summoned Chloe Collins alone.

But after only two steps, he noticed two shadows following him; turning his head, he saw Alexander Foster was also following.

"I need to talk to Chlo-Chlo in private; go back."

Alexander Foster’s expression remained calm. "Apologies, Grandfather, but I cannot."

"You...."

The Master’s gaze turned to Chloe Collins, silently prompting her to say something.

"My own legs carry me. Even if Chlo-Chlo permits it, I will not agree," the man’s gentle voice echoed again.

The Master finally understood – he would no longer be able to talk alone with Chloe Collins.

He felt a sense of betrayal from his most beloved grandson.

A bitter emotion blocked his chest, making him anxious.

A layer of melancholy spread across his deeply-lined face. "Enough, all of you go back. Just go!"

He’d spoken separately to both of them and now, whether they had planned it beforehand or not, they were strangely united.

This time, he only wanted to persuade Chloe to move out. Alexander must’ve anticipated this, else he wouldn’t have insisted on joining.

Given their united front, this conversation no longer held any purpose.

"Goodnight, grandfather."

Alexander dropped one sentence and, after exchanging a glance with Chloe, they both walked away together.

The Master watched their retreating figures closely. Indeed, they looked like a golden couple, perfectly matched.

"If only those things didn’t happen...."

He suddenly closed his eyes. The old image looked helpless and lonely, leaving only a sigh of lament.

The old butler came over and tried to steady him, but was waved off.

"I’m not that useless yet."

A voice thick with anger left the old butler stunned.

"Master, is Alexander being disobedient again?"

"Hmph, when has he ever listened to me!"

The old butler carefully followed, "You said previously you didn’t want to interfere, wanted to let go. Why now..."

The Master was silent for a few seconds before he slowly said, "Before, Manie hadn’t shown up yet. It’s different now."

"But the Young Master doesn’t like Miss York. If you want to connect with the Yorks, why not consider the Fourth Young Master? He’s more age-appropriate for Miss York, and they might be more compatible."

"Manie likes Alexander, not Cain."

Shaking his head he said, "That doesn’t matter anymore, none of it does."

What mattered was that the future of the Fosters could not be entrusted to someone who bore hatred towards the family.

"Call Tristan Collins over. I need to speak with him."

The old butler immediately understood his meaning. "Are you hoping to use Tristan Collins to separate Chloe Collins from Alexander?"

"It’s the only way. Tristan wants them apart even more than I do. This would be doing him a favor."

The old butler warned, "Master, if I may speak frankly, this won’t work. From what I’ve heard, Chloe Collins has cut ties with Tristan Collins. Her name has even been removed from the Collins’s household registry. He couldn’t control her then; he certainly can’t now. Calling for him would be pointless."

"Blood is thicker than water. How can they really sever ties? It’s just the stubbornness of youth. Go, bring him here."
