Chapter 506
Rosalind glanced at Chloe and asked, "Why, are you..."
Aria replied, "Grandma wants to have a reunion dinner with Chloe, so she specifically asked me to pick her up."
"Reunion dinner?"
Rosalind looked suspicious.
She knew exactly what her mother felt for Chloe Collins, and this reunion dinner was probably not that simple.
"What a coincidence, I haven’t visited my mother for a long time too. Let’s go together."
Aria hesitated, "Well... Aunt Ruth, why don’t you come back some other day? Grandma said she wants to talk to our cousin today."
"What can’t be said in front of her own daughter?" Rosalind was even more certain that there was something fishy about this dinner.
Aria: "Well..."
"Are we leaving or not?" Chloe suddenly spoke, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the two of them, catching their small movements and expressions.
Aria worried that Chloe might change her mind and not go, so she hurriedly opened the door, got in the car, and said anxiously to Rosalind, "Aunt Ruth, let’s get together another day. We’ll be leaving first."
Chloe sat alone in the backseat, not interacting much with Aria, and quietly played with her handheld game.
The driver of the Taylors was quite curious about her and would occasionally speak up.
"You must be Miss Joy Taylor’s daughter. You look so much like her."
"My name is Nelson Levine, just call me Mr. Black, Miss Collins. I’ve worked for the Taylors for over 20 years."
Aria pouted, "Mr. Black, you really talk a lot. Just drive."
As she spoke, her eyes shifted to the back and glanced at Chloe before casually asking, "Cousin, do you know that Aunt had her own company to manage before she passed away? It’s the largest amusement park in Westvale, the Happy Paradise, which belonged to your mother. There’s also the Ten Thousand Acres of Flower Fields on South Mountain, another one of them... these should be in your hands now, right?"
Chloe put down her phone, glanced at the window, and casually said, "Oh, those."
"Yes! Exactly those. Now you’re the owner, right?"
Chloe had a mysterious smile, "No."
"No? That can’t be." Aria’s smile became strained.
If it wasn’t under her name, didn’t that mean she had no money in her hands?
Chloe raised her eyebrows indifferently, looked at her own nails, and casually said, "Hmm, not mine."
Seeing Chloe’s lazy and uncaring manner, Aria harbored doubt in her heart.
It should just be a lie to deceive her, right?
She had heard from Raine Nolan before that Chloe Collins liked to tease people and lie.
So, the words from her mouth might not necessarily be true.
Her thoughts were chaotic and she didn’t continue to ask questions.
A cat’s head popped out of Chloe’s pocket.
"Meow~"
Chloe’s indifferent expression melted, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Awake, huh?"
She took the little creature out and let it lie by the car window to look outside.
As expected, she saw that Rosalind’s car had been following them all the way.
Rosalind being so nervous about her going to the Taylor’s house only proved that it was necessary for her to make a trip.
To dig deeper and uncover the secrets inside.
As the sky darkened, they arrived at the Taylor’s house.
Although it was as brightly lit as the Fosters, the feeling it gave her was not as comfortable.
Somehow, there was a deathly and oppressive atmosphere.
It might have to do with the architectural style here.
Aria led her in, chatting as they walked, "Do you smell it? Grandma must have asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of delicious food for you. Aunt loved chicken the most; you must be like her."
With those words, the two of them walked into the house.
Before them, only Madam sat at the large round table.
There was an eerie silence throughout the house.
