Chapter 1107
The Woman From Hell
"By the way." Mr. Collins suddenly recalled something and looked at Elena, asking, " Your mother's
Sandra Tyler, right?"
Elena froze and looked helplessly at Theo.
Theo smiled slightly and responded on her behalf, "Ms. Tyler raised my wife for many years and I'm
really grateful to her."
I looked at Mr. Collins in astonishment. He knew my mother.
Although I was curious, I did not ask any questions.
If Shannon was really Mr. Collinsâ granddaughter, then I must ask her to take me to visit him alone.
I was really curious about Motherâs story. All along, I thought she was just an ordinary person.
However, she later passed me a mysterious box and it turned out that she knew so many people
such as Grandmother and even the Collins from Hommiton City. That was enough to show that her
life was not that simple.
"Ms. Lane!"
I came back to my senses and realized that Krayden had called me a few times. I looked dazedly at
him, and he said a little helplessly, "Mr. Collins is speaking to you."
I froze and quickly looked at Mr. Collins.
Mr. Collins looked at me with a grin. His gaze was kind and warm. "Youâre daydreaming, girl."
I quickly stood up and apologized, "Iâm really sorry, Mr. Collins. I didnât mean to do
that.'
Mr. Collins guffawed. "It's okay. Young people like you prefer a vibrant environment. It's hard not to
feel bored eating with this old man. I understand.â
I blushed instantly. This was simply awkward. I was just about to explain myself when Theo said to
Mr. Collins, "She has always been like that. Please donât take it to heart, Mr. Collins."
Mr. Collins smiled and said to me, "You look familiar, but I canât recall where I've seen you."
Seeing Mr. Collinsâ and Theoâs attention on me, Elena slightly bent down to pick up the bag placed
on the floor. She said to Mr. Collins, "I heard that you like tea sets, Mr. Collins, and I specially picked
a set for you i n Whaldorf City before coming here. I hope you like it."
Everyoneâs attention instantly shifted to her.
The tea set Elena bought looked really exquisite and finely crafted. It was a gift that was perfect for
an elderly who loved pottery.
Later, everyone started talking about pottery, and the atmosphere was instantly lifted.
Krayden shifted his chair and came close t o me, asking, "Are you close to Mr. Grant?"
I pursed my lips. "Why?"
"I have a feeling that he keeps staring at you. Mr. Grant is a man with a cold temperament and
rarely pays any attention to anyone else, especially when there's a stunner beside him."
I smiled slightly, not saying a word. Elena was talking to Mr. Collins with Theo sitting in the middle,
so she was inevitably leaning close to him. It looked like she was gluing herself to him.
I picked up a glass of water and looked at them with a smile.
Elena caught me staring at them and deliberately picked up the cup of water in front of Theo and
took a sip, leaving a faint lipstick mark on the side of the white porcelain cup.
Theo noticed it but did not say anything. H e continued talking to Mr. Collins.
The waiter then served the dishes, and everyone was in a light-hearted mood. Elena put food on
Mr. Collins' plate and said with a smile, "You must go to Whaldorf City when you have time, Mr.
Collins.
Quinn makes really amazing dishes that you must try out."
Mr. Collins nodded and said with a smile,' Quinn refused to enter the kitchen when she was young.
It must be hard for her."
I could not help but freeze for a moment. When did Elena and Quinn grow so close to each other?
