Chapter 1119

Elena looked at Theo again. She was just about to refuse when Mr. Collins stood up and walkedbehind Elena, helping her to put the necklace on.

"You must live in harmony with this brat forever, okay, Ms. Mandez? If he bullies you, then let meknow and I’ll teach him a lesson for you."

Elena looked at Theo, feeling somewhat at a loss for words.

Theo frowned slightly and looked at Mr. Collins. When he saw how happy he was, h e decided tonot say anything.

It was more or less pointless for me to go in at this moment as it would only spoil the mood, so Iplanned to leave.

"You're here, Mrs. Grant."

A man's voice suddenly rang out behind m e, and I was startled. I turned around and saw Keith.

There was a fruit platter in his hand. I asked mildly, "Are you here to serve the fruits?"

Keith nodded. "Why aren't you going in, Mrs. Grant?"

I was about to reply when the door opened behind me.

I turned around and saw Theo standing at the door. I had mixed feelings about this.

Seeing that I was here, Mr. Collins asked with a smile, "Ms. Lane, I heard you picked fruits for meand nearly fell. Did you hurt yourself?"

Now that Mr. Collins was talking to me, there was no way I could leave anymore. Hence, I walkedinto the lounge with a smile. "I'm not hurt. Thanks for your concern, Mr. Collins."

Mr. Collins suddenly burst into laughter." Glad to hear that you're not hurt. I would be committing asin if you were. Young people these days should be treasured. After all, life isn't as tough as back inthe day. Back then, in order to live, we had to train ourselves to be tougher."

The juniors nodded their heads, echoing M r. Collins' words.

I did not intend to look at the necklace on Elena’s neck, but the necklace was too striking to notnotice.

When Elena caught me staring at the necklace on her neck, she subconsciously covered it with herhand. It was a typical reaction to fearing that her treasure would be snatched away.

I was amused and turned my gaze away.

Keith put the fruit platter on the coffee table. Mr. Collins invited everyone to eat. H e seemed to bedelighted as he talked and ate at the same time.

After eating the fruits, Mr. Collins no longer seemed as energetic as before. An old man's energycould not compare to youngsters. After spending so much energy earlier, it was normal for him tofeel tired.

Theo noticed it and suggested that we go to a restaurant to have dinner. They would send Mr.Collins home after that.

After leaving the test site, Theo helped Mr. Collins into the car.

Keith got in the driver’s seat, while Elena got in the front passenger seat. Theo and M r. Collins satin the back, and there seemed to be no place left for me.

Seeing this, I said to Keith, who was sitting i n the driver's seat, "You guys go ahead. I’ll takeKrayden’s car later.”

Keith frowned. "Krayden will be transporting things in his car. You may not be able to fit."

I could not fit in their car either.

It was not that I could not fit but it was inappropriate for me to squeeze in the back with Mr. Collins.

"Drive,” Theo ordered coldly, clearly in a bad mood.

Keith sighed and started the car engine. Seeing the car pull into the distance, I smiled faintly. "It'spretty good this way."

I would gradually move out of Theo's world, and we would each live separate lives.

I was planning to take my bike to the restaurant when Krayden arrived.

He saw me and asked curiously, "Didn't you go to the restaurant with Mr. Grant and the rest, Ms.Lane?"

I smiled faintly. "I couldn't fit in their car. I can ride my bike there.”

Krayden nodded. 'The road is a little slippery. Ride slower."
