Chapter 470: Chapter 470: A Complete Victory

Chapter 470

Raine Nolan had been tense since the beginning, anticipating this outcome. As soon as she heard it, she immediately kneeled down.

Rosalind Taylor watched from the side, suppressing her displeasure.

"Dad, I know I was wrong. I’m really sorry. I don’t dare ask for your forgiveness, I just don’t want you to be angry because of me. Anger is bad for your health."

Tristan Collins remained unmoved, staring indifferently at her. "Remember the following rules if you want to stay here."

Raine’s face lit up, "Yes!"

Tristan gazed down at her, "First, no matter what happens, if you ever have a conflict with Chloe, you must always prioritize her. Even if you’re wronged, swallow your resentment. Second, you are forbidden from visiting the Fosters’ estate as you please to avoid embarrassing me. Third, if Chloe comes back, don’t show your face, so you won’t upset her. And fourth, starting today, you’ll be staying in the annex."

Raine didn’t know how to react, her mind going blank.

Rosalind became angry before Tristan even finished speaking, but she didn’t dare to argue.

"Understand?"

Raine’s eyes reddened, "Yes, I understand."

Tristan looked away and stood up without asking her to get up.

Raine kneeled there until dinnertime.

A few days later, Tristan and Rosalind brought her to meet the Carsons and apologize in person, showing great sincerity.

This incident quickly spread throughout the upper class circles.

The good image Raine had painstakingly built crumbled.

At school, she endured the most tormenting time.

Wherever there are people, there are gossips.

At home, she didn’t have it easy either.

Alexander Foster didn’t change his mind, and in the end, he severed all cooperation with the Collins family.

That day, Tristan’s temper was extremely volatile.

When he returned home, he ordered Raine to clean the entire house, including all the courtyards.

Rosalind tried to intercede, but it only made him angrier. Raine’s days in the Collins household were unbearable.

Chloe Collins didn’t concern herself with the aftermath.

During this time, aside from attending class, she spent her days at the Laboratories.

Layla Lowell followed her like a shadow. However, compared to Chloe, she had one more thing to worry about - the second trial.

On Christmas Eve, Chloe and Layla took the day off to attend the second trial of the Lowell inheritance case.

Charles Carrington’s swift action won the case, leaving the opposing lawyer completely convinced. He quickly and flawlessly resolved the matter.

The judge pronounced in court that the Lowell Group heir was Luke Lowell’s only daughter, Layla Lowell. Charlotte Floyd, Luke Lowell’s wife, had an extramarital affair during their marriage, violating the established rules of Luke’s will, so she couldn’t inherit any property.

As for Luna Lowell, it was confirmed that she was not Luke Lowell’s biological daughter and was unable to inherit any property.

When the judge’s gavel dropped, Chloe saw Layla secretly wipe away her tears.

When they left the court, there was no trace of her crying.

Layla’s smiling face was bright, as though her cloud of depression had truly vanished, making her smile so happily.

"Chlo-Chlo, Mr. Carrington, I wouldn’t know what to do without your help. They’re a group of cunning and deceitful people, but tonight is Christmas Eve, and as a host, I’d like to invite you to dinner."

Chloe: "Okay."

Charles Carrington’s face looked a little uneasy, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Just the three of us?"

Layla: "If you want to bring a friend, that’s fine."

Charles looked into her eyes, feeling as though she was expecting something.

Could it be that a confession was coming?

On such a joyous day, it would be heartless to cause emotional hurt to this young girl.
