Chapter 1296

Jerry River froze, disbelief widening his eyes as he craned his neck to see better.

Indeed, the young lady ignored his car and got into another one.

He took a couple steps forward: "Young lady, I came all this way, what do you mean by this?"

Not even mentioning dinner, she doesn’t even want to get into his car. Was she looking down on him?

"Sir, is there something else?"

Jerry’s lips moved, a look of grievance in his eyes as he stared at her, not saying anything.

Chloe Collins looked up: "Actually, I do have something I’d like to ask you, sir."

Jerry’s nerves tensed. For some reason, the look in her eyes made him tense all over: "What? What else is there?"

Remembering the harsh lesson of hypnosis last time, he deliberately averted his eyes from Chloe.

Chloe took two steps closer to him and asked, "I would like to ask, sir, why did you come here back then? And how did you find out about Mane York’s illness?"

Jerry’s face changed slightly, "Why would you ask that?"

"It seems there’s a story in all of this." she said.

Jerry’s gaze deepened, "Why are you so young and always digging up stories from the past? There’s much better things to be doing. Just live your own life, it’s better than anything else!"

Leaning against the car, Chloe casually, and comfortably began, "From the moment I was born, I was destined to be entangled with this matter. It’s unavoidable."

Jerry drew a long breath, and after a long silence, he said, "Knowing so much about all this is actually no use for you. Just concentrate on curing your illness. I can only do my best. Your condition is not the same as Mane’s. The drugs she took have been improved dozens of times, and she quickly had her stomach pumped, minimizing the effects. But you started from your mother’s womb, and you are completely affected. To be frank, I am surprised that you have survived to this point."

His words confirmed to Chloe that he knew quite a lot. To unravel the mystery of that year, the only way was to ask him.

But currently, from his tone, he clearly had no intention of telling her.

Initially, she merely wanted to ask if he knew the details of Mane York’s kidnapping, to see if she could find a lead to Liam Locke’s illness from that angle.

Unexpectedly, she heard all of this instead.

"The details of Mane York’s kidnapping, do you know about that?"

Jerry River’s eyes deepened further than before, but he didn’t respond.

"I hope you can tell me. This is very important to me."

The cool night air came in all around, suddenly making the surroundings very quiet.

Jerry opened the car door, merely saying: "Alexander Foster is still waiting for you. Better get going."

After saying that, he climbed into his car and quickly drove away.

She didn’t chase after him, knowing that human minds are unpredictable and the hardest to unlock, and that catching up would be meaningless.

Jerry River was able to achieve all he has while the other team members are still hiding, which is enough to illustrate his extraordinary abilities.

She’ll follow this lead, but without rushing.

As her car headed home, she quickly skimmed through the news from the last two days on her phone, sure enough, she found quite a few articles related to her.

After browsing for a while, she finally stopped on a screenshot that was being wildly shared by netizens. The screenshot was divided into two parts: the top showed a man and a woman walking hand in hand, and the bottom was Alexander Foster’s comment: "I am the one who reached beyond my station."

She stared at the photo for a while, lights streaking past the car window, illuminating the inside of the car. Her eyes sparkled with happiness amidst the colourful lights.
