Chapter 1369
As soon as Chloe Collins got home, she saw him sitting in her yard, just like that day.
She hesitated and shifted her gaze indifferently.
"Let’s talk." A solemn male voice commanded.
Chloe Collins, however, nonchalantly sauntered over and casually sat down in front of him.
Nothing much had changed from before.
"What do you want to talk about?" She asked, her expression indifferent, her gaze calm.
Tristan Collins: "Find a time to put your name back in the Collinses’ household register."
Chloe Collins was momentarily stunned then found it laughable. "Could you repeat that?"
Tristan Collins slowly said: "I don’t want to dwell on the past. No matter what, I’m the one who raised you. You even called me father for several years. Blood doesn’t amount to more than rearing. In terms of qualifications, I outweigh him."
This "him" naturally referred to Chase Carrington.
Chloe Collins shook her head, a cold chill evident in her eyes. "You’re really unbridled... Too bad, I’m not easy to deal with. Now, please leave."
She got up to return to her house, without looking back.
Soon after, Tristan Collins left.
In the car back, his Secretary was reporting Chase Carrington’s movements these past few days.
"After staying here for half a month, Chase Carrington returned to Orlando. He has not met Young Lady, and it seems that Young Lady has no intention to return to the Carringtons. In the meantime, Chase Carrington has sent many gifts to Young Lady, and it appears she has accepted them all."
Tristan Collins scoffed, a menacing look in his eyes. "He’s trying to profit from the situation, wishful thinking! Immediately select a batch of gifts to send to Young Lady."
After some contemplation, he waved his hand: "I will personally choose."
Hence, Tristan Collins, who had not visited department stores for many years, personally went to several high-end women’s clothing stores.
When the salesperson asked about his daughter’s size, he would be silent for a long time, then point to the poster of the fashion model and say: "Something like her, but better."
After some thought, he modified his previous statement and reported Joy Taylor’s dimensions from her younger years.
The next day, Chloe Collins’ doorstep was filled with gifts.
The day after, gifts from Chase Carrington filled up the space behind her house.
The day after that, her doorstep was filled with gifts again, this time from Tristan Collins.
She had all the gifts packed up and donated to charity.
Not long after, another batch arrived- all high-end clothing, limited luxury items, each gift containing the aesthetic of a straight man.
Seeing that this standoff was escalating, Alex Foster promptly intervened.
He first went to find Tristan Collins.
Tristan Collins’ demand was simple-- as long as Chloe Collins transferred her household registration back to the Collinses, he would let the matter rest.
However, Alexander Foster asked him: "Have you ever considered why she proactively moved out of the Collinses’ household?"
Of course, Tristan Collins understood this point and remained silent.
Alexander Foster slowly said: "She’s already suffered enough. From now on, I don’t want her to be your pawn anymore. She isn’t an object; she’s my wife, Alexander Foster’s wife."
Tristan Collins suppressed his anger and said, "Her surname is Collins. She’s supposed to marry out of the Collins family, rightfully so."
Alexander Foster laughed coldly, "Uncle Tristan, do you really see her as your daughter?"
This statement left Tristan Collins speechless.
Alexander Foster didn’t want to stay long and he soon stood up, leaving behind a sentence: "She has the right to choose, and I’ve always believed that only sincerity moves people, not cold, gorgeous material."
Tristan Collins didn’t stop him, nor did he rebut him.
After he departed, Tristan Collins sat alone for a long while, seemingly deep in thought.
