Chapter 61: Chapter 61: So Arrogant
Chapter 61
Seven or eight luxury cars of different colors were parked outside the Lowell’s residence, blocking the exit like guards.
Even wearing her hearing aid, she could still hear the noisy clamor coming from inside the villa.
It was quite loud.
Heijii turned back, his gaze seeking her opinion, "Boss, should we continue investigating Luke Lowell’s death?"
Ever since meeting with Layla Lowell last time, their boss ordered to stop all investigation on the Lowells.
Chloe Collins looked at the slim figure standing defiantly in the doorway and whispered, "It depends on her choice."
Heijii honked the horn, attracting the attention of the short-haired girl outside.
Layla Lowell still had her casual wild dress style, but her short hair was not styled, making her look less flamboyant than before.
She walked towards them with an arrogant and unbridled expression, stopping in front of the car door.
The dazzling sunshine forced her to squint, "I can join your research group, but I have some conditions."
Chloe’s expression was indifferent, "Go ahead."
"First, I won’t work with the members of your group. Just tell me what needs to be done, and I’ll take care of my part. Second, as you mentioned before, help me regain the Lowells. Third, my teacher’s laboratory can’t be handed over to you."
Her voice was as arrogant and frivolous as her appearance.
Heijii couldn’t help but lower his head and suppress his laughter, swallowing it down.
Wasn’t she openly trying to take advantage of his boss?
He sneaked a look at his boss’s expression...
As he thought that, he glanced at Chloe Collins’s face through the car’s interior mirror.
Well, as calm and composed as always, utterly inscrutable.
At that moment, Chloe Collins’s voice sounded, "Heijii, drive."
Layla Lowell’s eyes widened suddenly, "Aren’t you going to give it some thought?"
Chloe raised her eyes, and the corner of her mouth pulled into a gentle and serene smile, "The person who needs to think is you. Clearly, you’ve made a decision, so there’s no need for me to waste time."
As the car slowly drove away, Layla Lowell’s beautiful face turned resentful and angry.
It was the first time she had encountered someone like this.
Not willing to compromise at all!
So arrogant!
But if she gave up the laboratory, wouldn’t it be against her promise to her teacher?
However, the Lowells were her parents’ hard work, and she had to get them back.
Relying on herself, the odds of winning were slim.
-
After the car drove away, Heijii finally burst into laughter.
"Boss, you’re too cold-hearted. We were classmates, at least give her some face."
Chloe sneered, "Should I give you some face too?"
"No way, I don’t deserve it."
As he spoke, he handed a bottle of yogurt to her, "I found something interesting when investigating Layla Lowell. Her elder sister, Luna Lowell, actually had Layla tormented at school. She threw her books away, had dogs poop in her desk, and even had Layla’s handed-in homework taken away, making the teacher think she hadn’t submitted it. What a terrible sister."
Chloe’s thoughts went back to the day when Layla lost her temper with her.
The reason was that Layla thought Chloe had ruined her desk.
With Layla Lowell’s temperament, she indeed acted impulsively and had a fight with a classmate.
That classmate happened to be Chloe Collins.
In the end, Layla was beaten by Chloe, punished herself, and was also scolded by the school’s dean of discipline.
In this way, it played right into someone’s hands.
It turned out that, unbeknownst to her, Chloe Collins had become a pawn in Luna Lowell’s plan.
"There’s always a price for everything," Chloe murmured.
Heijii’s scalp tingled slightly, and in his heart, he silently lit a row of candles for Luna Lowell.
