Chapter 701: Chapter 701: Slapped Twice in the Face

Chapter 701

She followed the sound to find her phone, picked it up without checking who it was.

A rigid and heavy male voice came through: "Your brother’s wedding banquet is at the end of the month. Before that, you should stay at home. The butler will pick you up soon, so get up and get ready!"

That voice... was Tristan’s.

As soon as she recognized that it was Tristan’s voice, she hung up the phone.

And continued to sleep.

Less than half an hour later, someone knocked on the door.

Evelyn’s voice came through: "Chlo-Chlo, your father sent someone to pick you up."

Chloe opened her eyes, got out of bed, and went to open the door.

She put on a long coat and came out, saying to Evelyn: "Aunt Evelyn, I’ll go talk to him."

The person from the Collinses was Tristan’s personal driver, a man surnamed Ye. He had been with Tristan since Chloe could remember.

Upon seeing Chloe, he nodded slightly and said: "Young Miss, Mr. Collins asked me to take you home."

"Reason."

Chloe did not believe that Tristan would just ask her to go back for no reason.

Old Ye said, "I’m just responsible for conveying and executing Mr. Collins’ intentions."

"Oh, then you can go back."

Chloe turned around.

Old Ye frowned and hastily said: "Young Miss!"

Chloe stopped but didn’t look back; she just tilted her head slightly, catching a glimpse of him from the corner of her eye.

"It’s about the Taylors."

He said: "Mr. Collins found out that the Taylors want to take you, so he sent me to bring you back. He said that you belong to the Collins family and the Taylors have no say."

Chloe gave a sarcastic "Oh" and said: "That’s it, huh."

"You can go back and tell him that if he wants me to return to the Collins house, try sending a sedan chair. Maybe if I’m in a good mood, I’ll go back."

With that, she walked back in.

Old Ye sighed and felt helpless at the outcome he had already expected.

Speaking of the Taylors, Chloe casually inquired about the progress of Heijii’s matter.

Heijii sent a long voice message over.

"Things are going very smoothly. The Taylors are slowly getting on track and everything’s getting smoother. A few days ago, Reginald, with the help of our team, signed the biggest deal of the year so far. He wants to invite you over for a meal to celebrate, which should happen in the next couple of days."

Having an idea of the situation, Chloe didn’t continue the conversation and decided to go back to sleep.

As she walked, she saw Robert standing in the doorway of the East wing, making a phone call.

He was furious, all the childishness gone from his demeanor.

"If she doesn’t want to sing, then forget it. It’s not suitable anyway. Listen to me, you’ll sing this song. We haven’t signed the contract yet, so we’ll decide who sings it."

Hearing this, Chloe understood that it was still about Shelby’s song.

After hanging up, Robert’s mood was still terrible.

From a distance, Chloe could hear his low cursing.

It completely overturned her usual impression of him.

When she got closer, Robert noticed her.

He tried to calm down somewhat and stuttered: "H-have you had breakfast?"

As soon as she heard him, Chloe knew his mind must be a mess, so she said: "You like fencing, don’t you? Let’s have a match."

The Fosters had a Sports Center with all kinds of equipment inside.

Robert nodded: "Alright."

His anger needed an outlet.

After several bouts, Robert lay panting on the ground, turning his head to look at Chloe.

"Now I know why my brother likes you. It’s mutual attraction between strong people."

"I didn’t expect you to be so good at fencing!"

Chloe removed her fencing mask, wiped off some sweat, and asked him: "Feeling better now?"

Robert took a deep breath, fell silent for a while, then suddenly said: "This morning, Tina went to see Shelby and got slapped twice."

He paused, his eyes filled with extreme disappointment, and said: "Why did I ever like her?"

(Previous recap: Before this, Chloe found out her mother had been wronged in the Taylor family, and decided to help her mother vent her anger. The matter is currently in progress...)
