Chapter 334

Lilian Pearce was a little flustered, but she thought that the soundproofing there was so good, Chlo-Chlo couldn’t hear all that was said with the door closed, and what she said now should be just a bluff.

But then Chloe Collins suddenly said, "I put a bug on Rosalind Taylor."

Chlo-Chlo gestured with her phone, looking calm.

Lilian Pearce was startled; her lips trembled, and she sighed slowly.

Apparently, she believed her.

"Child, you don’t have to worry about the affairs of adults, just focus on your studies..."

"I’ve never interfered." Chlo-Chlo said, "It’s because my mother told me the same thing, and I made her a promise, so I’ve never made a move against him."

A cold expression was in her eyes.

The indifferent look gave Lilian Pearce an illusion - as long as Chloe Collins wanted to, she could destroy Tristan Collins at any time.

But she was just an ordinary female student, perhaps just a little smarter than her peers. And her mother had given her some shares, so she had some money.

Her father, Tristan Collins, on the other hand, was the leader of the Collinses. He had countless businesses under his name; it’s no exaggeration to say that one in every twenty people in the country is supported by him.

A clever and patient person might choose to please Tristan Collins and inherit his position in the future.

But Chlo-Chlo didn’t do that.

That’s why Lilian Pearce was particularly worried about her.

What if someday Tristan Collins, out of anger and Rosalind Taylor’s secret manipulation, didn’t give her a penny of his property? What would she do then?

Chlo-Chlo looked at her and continued, "I came here not to delve into the sordid affairs of those two, but to ask you, what really happened between my mother and Tristan?"

Lilian Pearce’s eyes suddenly dropped, concealing a strange expression.

"You should know about this." Chlo-Chlo was sure that she knew.

When people lie, they have many manifestations, one of them is to use a high decibel voice to bolster courage, divert the other person’s attention and deceive even themselves through loud speech.

From the tone of their conversation earlier, Lilian Pearce’s voice unconsciously rose and began to talk about other conflicts to divert Tristan’s focus every time they hit a critical point.

Plus, with Rosalind Taylor’s disruption, Tristan couldn’t calm down and make a judgment, so it was easy for Lilian Pearce to deceive him.

This was Chloe Collins’s judgment.

Now, she stared at Lilian Pearce and slowly said, "The week before I was sent to the temple, I had an accident and spent a few days in the hospital. The day I was discharged, my family sent me straight to the temple. From that day on, returning to the Collinses required Tristan’s approval. I want to know the reason for all of this."

Her voice was soft, yet resolute, "I must know the reason. I hope you can understand my feelings."

Lilian Pearce didn’t look at her and took a heavy breath. "There’s no major reason. You know, after that accident, your father asked someone to calculate your fortune. It said that you had to live on the mountain to get rid of your bad luck. That’s the reason, there’s no other reason."

Chlo-Chlo silently watched her, her eyebrows gradually knitting together.

"Ms. Pearce, all these years, I’ve always respected you."

"I know, I know! Chlo-Chlo, you... can you please stop asking?" Lilian Pearce looked at her with a gloomy face.

Chlo-Chlo saw both reluctance and sadness in her face.

"If this is such a burden, why should you bear it alone?" Chloe said softly.

Lilian Pearce pressed her lips together. "Chlo-Chlo, this is an adult’s business. Listen to your teacher’s advice, don’t look too much into it."
