Chapter 1617: Chapter 1617: No One Can Persuade Him Except Your Mom

Chapter 1617

Tristan Collins was stern, "I have my own understanding of these matters; you don’t need to worry about them."

"Do you really understand?" The Holts looked at him earnestly, eyes piercing as she pushed back, "We had you develop the Company not to make ill-gotten gains! The Whites’ vaccine is selling like hotcakes now, but I’ve heard this whole mess was their doing. How is that different from those repairmen who deliberately scatter nails on the road to puncture tires and drum up business?"

Tristan Collins was resolute, "Mother, I was unaware of this. They came to me for a partnership two years ago; the deal looked beneficial and harmless to the Collinses, so naturally, I agreed. As for what you mentioned about creating chaos to sell vaccines, I’m afraid, that’s not true."

"Do you really believe that’s not true?" The Holts questioned again.

Tristan Collins pursed his lips, but his sharp eyes dared not meet his mother’s gaze.

He indeed wasn’t quite sure.

Concerning the New Human Project, he knew very little. According to what Hans White had told him, it was supposed to be a straightforward medical research project aimed at helping to develop human intelligence.

As for anything else, he didn’t know much more.

Regarding the Mutated Beings, he regarded them as medical research accidents, which were uncontrollable.

And now, he wasn’t quite sure anymore.

Whether or not it was a conspiracy, it was, in fact, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Collinses.

He didn’t really want to give it up.

That’s why he’d been playing dumb all along.

"In any case, I’ll handle the Company’s affairs. Those who should study should study, and those who should retire should retire," he said with a cold attitude.

Theodore Collins couldn’t help but interject: "Then I won’t help you manage the Company in the future. I don’t want to collaborate with those unethical people!"

Tristan Collins glared over, "We’ll have that talk when you’ve grown up!"

"Tanner is still being taken care of by your sister; his frailty, doesn’t that seem like divine retribution to you?" his mother said sadly.

Tristan Collins’s expression became chaotic, but he said, "Enough, let’s not talk about this anymore!"

With a flick of his hand, he left the Room.

Theodore looked to the Holts, pleading, "Grandma, shall we continue trying to persuade Dad?"

The Holts sighed and shook her head, "I think, in this world, nobody can persuade him except your mother!"

Tristan Collins felt a surge of anger in his heart. He didn’t return to his Room but instead went to the kitchen to find some alcohol.

The Butler, seeing this, hurriedly prepared it for him, to calm him down.

Neither of them noticed that just on the other side of the wall at this moment, Rosalind Taylor was standing pressed against it.

She had climbed over the wall from the other side.

It had been decades since she last did something so disgraceful, but the first time she tried, she took a nasty tumble and almost sprained her ankle.

Not long ago, the Butler relayed Tristan Collins’s words to her, indicating he would no longer interfere in their affairs.

Knowing her chances were slim, she came up with another idea.

If Tristan Collins wouldn’t help her, she would have to pay someone to do it.

But she didn’t have much to her name, so she would have to take it from Tristan Collins.

She remembered the location of Tristan Collins’s safe and knew the combination.

Inside, there was enough money for her to hire someone to rescue Raine Nolan.

At that moment, she peeked through the Window and saw Tristan Collins sitting by the dining table, facing away from her, holding a wine glass in his hand.

This was her chance.

She hurried forward.

Just then, a voice came from inside—

"Sir, it’s late. You should not drink too much. After finishing this glass, please go to sleep," the Butler advised cautiously.

Tristan Collins scoffed coldly, saying only, "Keep pouring, fill it up."
