Chapter 299: Chapter 299 Two Aunts

Chapter 299

Tristan Collins’s two elder sisters were both married and lived far away, not in the Capitol. They rarely came home, but, with the ease of modern transportation, they could be home in just over an hour by plane.

Their return this time wasn’t just for the family feast, but also to see the old lady. After all, she had often nagged them on the phone to come back. This time, when Tristan called them in the morning, they had lunch and then started their journey home.

These two aunts, the eldest sister was Tessa Collins, and the second sister was Tara Collins. There was a two-year age difference between them. They looked different, one took after their mother and one after their father, their characters were also vastly different.

The elder sister, Tessa, was known as a "Thorny Rose" when she was young. She always strove to be the best, couldn’t stand to be second-best, and was not easy to approach.

On the other hand, Tara was the opposite, she was indifferent to fame and fortune, valued emotions, and had a gentle personality.

In the event of a conflict, Tara often gave in to Tessa, never arguing with her.

Even now, it was mostly Tessa who talked the most, Tara seldom interrupted, quietly sitting on the side, with a gentle demeanor.

"We have been here for a while now, why isn’t mom back yet? Where did she go?" Tessa asked.

Tristan looked surprised, "Mom is not at home?"

As far as he could remember, his mother rarely left the house these past two years, spending her days at home.

Rosalind Taylor then said: "Oh, she left with Heng’er about two hours ago. They must’ve gone to buy something."

"Mom is indeed too partial to her grandson, she never goes out these past few months, but once grandson speaks, she goes out. I spent so much effort on the phone and couldn’t convince her to budge." Tessa said sourly.

"Speaking of which, didn’t you say someone in the family ranked first in the exam? Who is it, Raine or Chloe?"

Just as Tristan was about to speak, Rosalind Taylor rushed to say: "One got first place, the other one got fourth, and both have made it to the finals."

Tessa and the rest nodded slightly, unconsciously associating the context together, assuming that it was Raine Nolan who came first, and Chloe Collins who came fourth.

Before they could further discuss this topic, their attention was attracted by someone who entered the room.

Raine Nolan walked in with a sky-blue small backpack, dressed in Affiliated High School’s uniform, with a white top and a red checked skirt. Her hair was neatly groomed and softly laid on her back, her smile was sweet. At first glance, she presented a very obedient and well-behaved image.

When she first joined the Collinses, she wasn’t very welcomed, but due to her submissive demeanor, she didn’t suffer any grievance. Later, she won a few awards, which brought honor to the Collins family, gradually diminishing the older generation’s prejudices towards her.

Especially Tessa, she had initially objected to Raine Nolan’s presence in the Collins house, thinking that a girl from an outside family didn’t deserve to live here.

However, after Raine Nolan’s steadfast declaration at the Incense Maker Award Ceremony that it was her behind-the-scenes guidance and encouragement that earned the award, Tessa changed her attitude. She suddenly felt there was nothing wrong with having girls from outside families in the house. After all, she wouldn’t get much of the family property anyway. Since Raine knew her place and was well-behaved, there was no need to make things difficult for her.

On the contrary, regarding Chloe Collins, her own niece, she didn’t feel anything special for her, as she hadn’t seen Chloe very often, and often heard bad rumors about her, so she didn’t concern herself with Chloe.

"Raine is back. Come over and say hello." Rosalind Taylor called out with a smile.

Raine Nolan handed her bag to a servant and then went over to greet each person.

Tristan glanced around with a gloomy expression on his face: "Where is your sister?"

Tessa also asked: "Didn’t the two of you come together? Aren’t you two from the same school?"
