Chapter 351: Chapter 351: The Screen is Full of "XLM"

Chapter 351

It was the first time that Charles Carrington had encountered such a stubborn teacher, but as he was still driving, he replied directly: "Her parents are both deceased, so there is no one to care for her."

Silence followed on the other end.

Charles knew he had settled the matter, so he asked: "Do you still need a photo?"

Keith Grant’s voice dropped by eight degrees: "No need, let her heal her injuries before coming back to school."

The call ended there.

On this side, Keith Grant’s expression was a little weird, and he no longer had the questioning look in his eyes.

He glanced at the call log, casually wrote down Charles Carrington’s number in a notebook, and then added a note: Layla Lowell’s guardian.

He then handed the phone back to Chloe Collins, who was staring out the window in a daze.

"Alright, go back to class."

Chloe took the phone and left.

As soon as she stepped out, she met Vanessa Brooke, the teacher in charge of their chemistry competition finals.

She greeted her lightly and brushed past her.

Vanessa Brooke was about to say something, but Chloe was already a few steps away, showing her nothing but her back.

The feeling was quite unpleasant.

"Ms. Brooke, what’s wrong?"

Vanessa Brooke forced a smile: "Nothing."

The teacher beside her couldn’t help but speak, glancing between Chloe Collins and Vanessa Brooke. "I understand how you feel. It must be a lot of pressure to suddenly have two Collins sisters in your charge."

"Especially since the two young ladies don’t seem to get along. They’ve had a few disputes before. Raine Nolan had been making things difficult for Chloe Collins in the past. This competition is bound to be a confrontation between them. No matter who you favor, it won’t be easy."

Vanessa Brooke gave her a sidelong glance and uttered quietly, "Don’t forget, the current head of the Collins’ household is Raine’s mother."

The other teacher was taken aback and whispered, "So are you planning to continue supporting Raine?"

Vanessa Brooke didn’t say anything further and walked back to her desk.

The moment Chloe Collins returned to the classroom, it went quiet for a few seconds, as many gazes filled with curiosity and eagerness were thrown her way.

Alex on her left was the only one who didn’t change his attitude, still as indifferent as before, acting like nothing concerned him.

Everyone else stared at her from time to time, seemingly having a lot to say.

She ignored it and took out her phone to read comics before class started.

The comic she was following had a rather unique style lately, with "XLM" appearing on every page.

Before, it was just on the protagonist’s clothes, but now, even the building’s banners had it.

As a result, the comment section was filled with discussions unrelated to the plot.

Everyone was trying to figure out which brand had placed this advertisement.

She felt a strong connection to those letters, especially since the last two were an abbreviation of her company’s name.

Many people shared her view, and a rather convincing conclusion arose—

[Everyone, everyone, listen to me. This XLM is an implicit advertisement for LM Enterprise. The X stands for "choice." It means we should choose LM when shopping. Do you understand? If you don’t, I’ll explain again.]

She silently upvoted the comment.

Free advertising was nice.

After two classes, she informed Keith Grant and left school directly.

It was just after ten o’clock now, and the roads weren’t congested. It took less than twenty minutes to drive to Alexander Foster’s company building.

She sent Alexander Foster a message but got no reply.

(To be honest, are you all looking forward to a second male lead? Up until now, he hasn’t made a proper appearance, and only lives through other people’s lines, haha...)
