Chapter 1375

He tousled his son’s hair, his eyes revealing a sense of gratification.

"Dad, I want to go play. Can we go play together with my sister during this winter break?"

Tristan Collins’ face changed slightly. He replied, "You’ll have to ask her. If she’s going, then I will."

"Oh yeah, I’m sure I can convince my sister!" The boy’s face lit up with joy.

The scene soothed the worries that had plagued Madam Holt for years. Her smile was genuine and happy.

She knew that Chloe Collins wasn’t her biological child, and as much as she was fond of her, she couldn’t retain her in the Collins family. She could only watch helplessly as Chloe was sent away.

The Collins family could adopt a girl, take in a step-daughter, but they couldn’t accept a child that had insulted the integrity of their household.

Her presence would cause Tristan Collins distress, so she had to be sent away.

Taking advantage of the moment when Theodore Collins was playing soccer, the elderly lady asked Tristan, "What are you planning to do? Are you really going to sever ties with the Carringtons? This is not a wise move."

"After all, Chase Carrington didn’t do it on purpose and he is also a victim. Even for the sake of the Collins family, for the future of Theodore and Tanner, you should rethink it. If you cut ties with them now, these two children will face many challenges as they grow up. And... how is Theodore supposed to deal with his sister? They do share a genuine sibling relationship."

The elder lady spoke sincerely. Listening to her words, Tristan Collins remained silent, his expression grave.

She sighed. "If only your father hadn’t passed away so early, I might have been able to help you."

"Mum, don’t overthink this. I will handle these matters. Rest assured, I won’t let the Collins family ruin under my watch," his voice firm and resolute.

Soon after, he left the room.

The divorce process wasn’t complicated and was finalized within an hour.

Upon leaving the county clerk’s office, Tristan turned away, refusing to look back.

On the second day, he brought Theodore to visit Tanner. Not long after they stepped into the hospital ward, his phone began to ring.

After he answered the call, a woman’s desperate sobs came from the other side of the line. "Dad, my mother has committed suicide! The doctors say she won’t survive... Please come to see her, I beg you..."

The news of Rosalind Taylor’s suicide spread rapidly in their circle. Most people didn’t know the full story but had heard specific details about her suicide, all spread by the Collinses’ servants.

The version Chloe Collins heard was this: After Rosalind Taylor divorced Tristan Collins and was stripped of her custody rights over her son, she couldn’t bear the pain and committed suicide by slashing her wrists and overdosing on sleeping pills in the middle of the night.

Apparently, she was still in the intensive care unit.

Tristan Collins was cold-hearted; he hadn’t visited her since the incident, nor did he arrange for anyone else to take care of her. Raine Nolan was the only one left to manage everything.

On the third day, Rosalind was said to have barely survived the ordeal and was moved to a general hospital ward.

It was also rumored that a middle-aged man had come to visit her but was turned away by Raine Nolan.

The man was supposedly Raine Nolan’s biological father.

In the afternoon, the warm sun shone on the lake, creating twinkling ripples.

Chloe Collins took a break from her busy work and sat in a rocking chair in the courtyard, eating raisins.

Next to her were Theodore Collins, Rupert Frost, and Brent Frost. The three kids were kicking the ball with Unique, the robot.

Theodore came over, his face flushed from running around. He asked, "Sis, aren’t you going on winter break soon?"

"Hmm."

"Then let’s go play with dad! Let’s go skiing!" His eyes shone brightly.

Chloe Collins lowered her gaze, simply saying, "Your sister doesn’t have the time."

"Why?"

"Because..."

"Because your sister is getting married!" Layla Lowell’s playful voice interrupted.

She was standing outside the fence, holding two bags in her hand, her face beaming with a smile.
