Chapter 1284: Chapter 1284: Alexander Foster is Taken Away, Chloe Collins Makes a New Discovery (Updated Six Times)_1

Chapter 1284

Perhaps Liam Locke’s illness is related to Mane York, which is why he becomes so agitated upon seeing her that he loses his rationality.

Maybe figuring out the story between them can help in curing him.

In order to confirm this, she decides to take a risk, leaving a photograph of Mane York in the room to see Liam Locke’s reaction the next day.

After placing the photograph down, she steps out.

The room is located at Floor -1, it’s very quiet, and unlikely to be disturbed. While on her way up the stairs, she hears the voice of Master Foster.

She pauses for a moment but continues to ascend.

When she enters the living room, Master Foster and Alexander Foster are heading towards the main gate, seemingly they have finished their conversation.

As luck would have it, Master Foster sees her.

His smile is still kind, yet his eyes are deep and inscrutable.

Chloe Collins nods slightly, addressing him as ’Grandpa.’

Master Foster neither blames nor demands anything from her, and only advises, "It’s very late, you should go to rest. Let Alex see me off."

Alex nods at her, indicating that she should go rest.

She maintains her distance, not coming any closer, saying, "Grandpa, farewell."

The simple farewell seems to contain a thousand words; a deeper meaning is hidden in her eyes, reflecting an unwillingness to admit defeat, dissatisfaction, and the courage to resist fate.

Master Foster understands, slowly casting his gaze away, not daring to look any further. At the moment of turning around, a sigh laden with helplessness escapes his lips, and a hint of melancholy flashes in his eyes.

Alex personally sees Master Foster off, but where exactly they are going, Chloe did not ask.

She remains awake, sitting quietly on the couch. The night wind is chilly, sweeping over her skin, making her ever more awake.

An hour later, she receives a message from Alex: ’I’ll be back tomorrow night.’

Later, the person who went with Alex returns and tells her that Master Foster suddenly felt uncomfortable before boarding the plane and gripped Alex’s hand tightly, thereby compelling Alex to return to Grearon.

"Miss Collins, from the conversation Master Foster had with Mr. Foster, it seems like Master Foster wants to seclude Mr. Foster, until... this matter passes."

Chloe stares at the message from Alex with a calm expression, showing neither signs of dejection nor anxiety.

"It’s alright, you should go rest."

The subordinate nods and leaves.

She sits on the couch until dawn.

At the break of dawn, she suddenly hears Liam Locke shouting, and immediately rushes downstairs.

Upon opening the door, she sees Liam Locke covering his ears and shouting, while the photograph of Mane York is no longer where it was originally placed, instead it is lying on the ground.

With this one event, Chloe is certain that Liam Locke’s illness is somehow linked to Mane York.

She gently embraces the young boy, soothing him with pats on his back.

The young boy, his fearful red eyes filled with tears, looks at her.

Chloe speaks softly, "If you’re suffering, don’t dwell on these memories. I just want you to be happy. If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t pressure you."

She once tried to hypnotize him but was never successful.

His pain and despair are locked behind that door, and even he is trapped there.

-

In the afternoon, Chloe stands at the gate of the Duke’s Mansion, expressing her wish to visit Mane York by ringing the doorbell.

In her hand she holds some gifts, mimicking the customs of ordinary visitors, not neglecting the proper etiquette because of the circumstances.

About twenty minutes later, the majestic front door opens, and a steward with white hair walks out, inviting her in, "Miss Collins, please come in."
