Chapter 443

Raine Nolan jolted back to reality and, like clutching at a lifeline, went to answer the door.

Rosalind Taylor was shocked by her disheveled state. "What’s wrong? Didn’t you sleep last night?"

"Mom, save me!" She tearfully pleaded.

"What happened now?" A vein twitched in Rosalind’s forehead.

Raine closed the door behind her and recounted everything.

Rosalind was petrified, mumbling to herself, "No wonder, no wonder."

"Mom, what are you talking about, ’no wonder’ what?"

"The Fosters just called, inviting us over for dinner tonight. I was wondering why. It seems this is an ambush."

Raine was startled, "Mom, what should I do then?"

Rosalind fell deep into thought.

Chloe Collins only found out about the dog’s injury during lunchtime.

In the campus canteen, Robert Foster sat across from her and Layla Lowell, describing the sequence of events.

"I called her at that time, and she personally told me that Victor was with her. But the next day, my brother picked up the injured Victor from the Pet Hospital. The dog was saved not by Raine but by Mrs. Carson."

Layla Lowell said, "So she didn’t actually take the dog home. Why did she lie then?"

"Probably because a guilty mind is always suspicious." Robert’s gaze hardened.

If Raine had told the truth, he would’ve assumed that the dog had strayed and got injured. But now, he didn’t think it was that simple.

"My brother already pulled surveillance footage from the route. It’s sufficient proof that she didn’t take Victor into her car at all. Victor was aimlessly roaming and finally collapsed at the entrance of a hotel. By that time, it had already been injured."

Layla spread her hands, "That leaves no room for debate. She’s the one who hit him."

"If Victor chased after her and she hurt Victor, the police would side with her." Chloe objectively stated.

Robert frowned, "That’s what my brother also said. But my mother isn’t satisfied. She’s already invited your family over for dinner tonight to settle this matter."

"My mom sees Victor like her third son. She wouldn’t let this go. But I think, Raine wouldn’t dare to attend the dinner."

Chloe chewed on her meatballs, calmly saying, "They will attend, and they will definitely bring something."

"What thing?" Robert and Layla exclaimed in unison.

Chloe whispered softly, "Something valuable enough to negotiate."

"Negotiate?"

Robert followed her gaze and abruptly, he understood too.

Layla gloomily said, "They aren’t going to bring the injured, are they?"

Chloe raised an eyebrow.

At the other end of the cafeteria, Anders Spence and Cherry Foster sat down.

Cherry seemed not very cheerful.

Anders kept serving her food, but it did nothing to lift her mood.

"I’m sorry, Cherry, I had no idea that my brother would suddenly do that to Mr. Carson."

Cherry coldly said, "Then why did you assure me earlier that it would work? I’ve already blurted out!"

Anders was speechless.

"I have no idea why my brother pulled such a stunt, trapping Mr. Carson overnight, and angering the Carsons. Now he’s even been punched by Mr. Carson. I think, what we agreed on earlier probably can’t come true."

Cherry was speechless, "Didn’t you say they came here specifically to treat your brother?"

Anders raised his hand, "This is true, I personally contacted Mr. Carson."

Cherry continued to wear a cold face, "Just keep bragging! They’re obviously here to see Chloe Collins! They were at my house yesterday, who are you trying to fool now!"
