Chapter 1248

But at this moment, Jerry River picked up the document with a cunning smile, "Miss Collins, you didn’t accomplish it, did you? It’s clearly written here that you have to compete with that painting, but by arbitrarily changing the work, it’s actually equivalent to a second piece, not using the original for competition. I’m afraid I can’t accept that!"

Chloe Collins and Alexander Foster exchanged a glance, a cold glint in their eyes, accompanied with a shallow smile.

"Mr. Bush, are you going back on your promises?"

"Not at all. I am just being realistic," Jerry River said arrogantly, his nose in the air.

Chloe Collins picked up the document, faintly smiled, then leisurely ripped it in half.

"Fine, let’s pretend this never happened."

Jerry River was startled and found it hard to believe her words.

"What are you up to now?"

"Why are you so tense, Mr. River? I didn’t say I was going to do anything."

At that moment, he saw Alex looking at something on his phone.

"What are you going to do?" His nerves tightened.

Alex merely glanced up with a lazy tone, "What are you going to do?"

Jerry River wiped sweat off his forehead, suddenly realizing that perhaps he was too nervous, so he sat down.

"Since Mr. River isn’t in the mood to discuss cooperation, we won’t disturb you. Brother Xian, let’s go."

She raised her chin, and the man obediently stood up.

"Wait!"

A thoughtful look crossed Jerry River’s eyes. He was quite afraid that Chloe Collins had evidence and might reveal the incident. If the Yorks found out about his ploy, not only would he lose face, but his life could also be in danger.

"I’ll give it to you, but you must promise that the Exhibition incident is over and nobody should mention it again!"

They acquired X-5, and delivered it to Grearon that night, but the two did not return immediately.

Firstly, they were waiting for Dean Collins to finish modifying her hearing aid; secondly, they wanted to learn more about robotics; and lastly, they wanted to verify the authenticity of X-5.

The pair were not hopeful.

As expected, Chloe Collins received a reply from Albert Green on the night X-5 arrived, stating that it had been modified and was a semi-finished product. It wouldn’t harm or help anyone in the general sense.

"Jerry River is always complex. You should be careful. He’s quite petty and was often jealous back in the day. He even had arguments with your mother. However, he is quite capable. If he can be persuaded to help, it would be ideal. His theories back then were worthy opponents to Emma’s."

"I understand."

"Chlo-Chlo, how about this - give me his contact details, let this old friend chat with him."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Chloe Collins pondered for a while.

Jerry River was a lot harder to deal with than Hailey Spence.

In the house, Alex was cooking, simply because she said she wanted to taste his cooking that morning.

She just wanted a taste of authentic braised pork and had casually mentioned his skills. That he remembered such a small remark warmed her heart, making her feel cherished.

She sent a text to Dean Collins, trying to invite him for dinner.

He was always reluctant to face the world, always hiding in the comfortable greenhouse. She was helpless and worried about this.

Being alone is not easy, she knew.
