No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 639

At that moment, I realized I had completely overlooked the Collins family. With Ernest being the fresh heir to the Collins estate, his long silence should have prompted the Collins to be the first on the move to find him. But they didn't. Instead, they turned up at Susie's place, trying to gather information through the back door.

Something was off, very off. Ignoring the gloom that hung over Susie, I asked her, "Susie, who from the Collins family came to see you?"

"A guy, about my brother's age. His name was...Quentin."

Jeremy Collins' face flashed through my mind. I pressed on, "How many times has he visited? Was he always alone?"

"Yeah."

Seeing Susie's reluctance to talk, I didn't push further. Instead, I offered, "Let me know when you plan on starting school, I'll drop you off."

"Sis, I was hoping you and my brother could both take me," Susie knew how to press my buttons.

I had no choice but to agree, "Alright, I'll tell him. Hopefully, he comes back soon."

Leaving Susie's place, my unease only grew. It was highly unusual for the Collins to lose track of Ernest and remain so quiet about it.

And if they were able to track down Susie for information, it would make sense for them to approach me too.

But they didn't...

Something was definitely off.
