Chapter 461: Chapter 461: I Cannot Have a Foot in Two Boats

Chapter 461

The elders all focused on Rosalind Taylor’s belly first, coming forward to ask about her condition.

Chloe Collins had anticipated this scene and was not surprised.

She watched the performance with boredom and turned to walk out of the room.

Robert Foster followed her out with her suitcase.

Soon after, the two Fragrance Association members quickly recovered their wits and chased after her, inviting her to join the association.

As she approached Alexander Foster, Chloe stopped in her tracks.

Looking back at the two of them, she said, "I’m not interested in your invitation. Please leave."

The Vice President was unwilling to give up: "Miss Collins, how about this: if you join our Association, I’ll let you take my seat as Vice President?"

Minister Gogh: "If Miss Collins is willing, I can give up my position as Secretary of Culture too!"

Chloe paused and looked at Alexander reflexively.

He was smiling, seeming to say: it’s your decision.

"Miss Collins, our association has works by Young Master Miles White and is the largest perfume-lovers association in the country. In the future, the only people who can join the Fragrance Alliance will come from our Fragrance Association."

Alexander lowered his head, the corners of his mouth hanging with a smile, quietly watching this "bustle."

Chloe thought for a moment and said, "The Fragrance Association is great, but I cannot have a foot in two boats."

The smiles of the two members froze!

"F-foot in two boats?"

"It seems Miss Collins already has an association."

"Which one? Which one? Which association in the whole country has a larger scale than ours?"

The two were dizzy with confusion.

Alexander laughed softly, glanced at the petrified pair, and walked towards the next room.

He waved his hand, dispersing the people blocking the doorway and letting the Collinses pass.

The farce was over at this point.

But some things had just begun.

After returning to the next room, Robert gave Chloe the small bottle of perfume that he had found under her drawers, saying, "Raine Nolan must have been looking for this."

Chloe glanced at the perfume and asked, "Did you wear gloves?"

"Of course, I did."

Chloe nodded and took the bag.

"How did you know there must be something in the room?" Robert was puzzled.

Chloe replied, "It was a guess."

From the moment Raine said she had come here to find Alexander during class, Chloe had been thinking about this.

"The time she came here was precisely when our house was the quietest. Those in class would be in class, those at work would be at work, even Aunt Evelyn would go out for afternoon tea. If she were really here to talk to someone, she wouldn’t purposely choose this time. She chose this time either to steal something or to plant something. These past two days I haven’t noticed anything missing, so there’s only one possibility."

Robert suddenly understood.

"She’s too good at lying. She doesn’t even blink when she lies!"

Chloe put away the perfume and said, "You guys haven’t eaten yet, right? Go eat, I’m going to take a shower first."

Robert responded, "Okay, are you not hungry?"

"I’ve already eaten."

As she finished speaking, she had already picked up her clothes and walked into the bathroom.

Robert closed the door for her and saw Alexander enter as soon as he left.

"Bro, have you eaten yet? Let’s eat together."

Alexander: "What about her?"

"She already ate. By the way, did you two come back together?"

Alexander didn’t answer, peering at his black-framed glasses with a touch of interest in his eyes: "Where did you get those glasses?"

It was only then that Robert remembered he was still wearing glasses. He smiled mysteriously and said, "Did you notice anything?"

Alexander took off the glasses, holding the frames and carefully examining each part of them, such as the lenses, hinges, nose pads, etc. They seemed normal except for being a bit thick.
