Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Best to Keep Distance from Her

Only when Chloe Collins’ figure had disappeared from view, Raine Nolan finally spoke, a hint of helpless resignation in her voice, "Cousin has always lived on the mountain, where she’s beco accustod to freedom. Even after coming back, she still acts unrestrainedly, disregarding anyone’s advice, and even cultivating so bad habits. It doesn’t matter at ho; after all, my parents and I understand her. What we are worried about is that she will behave the sa way outside and that could eventually harm her."

Upon hearing this, Robert Foster stared at her, a question in his eyes. "I’ve always wondered why your sister lived on the mountain for so many years?"

Raine struggled to articulate her answer, biting her lip slightly and saying, "I’m not very clear either. By the ti I ca, she was no longer living at ho. However, I heard from the housekeeper that cousin has acted strangely since she was a little girl, and she was frail. My superstitious father listened to a master and sent her to the temple for better health."

Understanding dawned on Robert Foster, who nodded slowly. "I see, but that’s a long ti."

Walked alongside him, Raine sighed, "Exactly, after so much ti, cousin’s personality has been fully shaped, and it’s now hard to correct her."

Robert was puzzled by her words and asked, "Is she really that bad?"

Raine sadly replied, "Even before she ca back, she was always causing troubles and picking fights, smoking and drinking. My mom has to find ti every week to clean up her ss. But what I can’t understand is her propensity for theft. Although we’re not short of money, she just cannot get rid of this bad habit. The doctor says it’s a kind of psychological disorder, one that resembles objectophilia, which is hard to kick."

She looked at Robert with concern and said, "Cain, I think it would be better for you to keep your distance from my cousin in the future. Besides those problems, she also loves pranks, and who knows who her next target will be. Anyway, keeping a distance from her won’t hurt you. I ca over today to check if she has caused any trouble. Ah, I was so worried about her last night that I couldn’t sleep. I really don’t understand why my aunt insisted on letting her stay with the Fosters. If she were to stay at the Collins, I would do everything possible to help her get back on the right track."

Robert Foster was silent, sowhat surprised in his heart. He never thought that this Chloe Collins was such a person.

It seems that his family had indeed taken in a big trouble by accepting her.

Raine noticed Robert’s frown and a faint smile spread across her lips.

anwhile.

Chloe Collins parked her mountain bike and leisurely entered the teaching building for Year 3, senior year, following the final toll of the school bell.

She touched the new hearing aid in her ear, and seed quite pleased.

Without resisting, she took out her phone and sent a ssage out—

[Chloe: I’ve got it, and it feels very comfortable. Much better than the previous model.]

[Three: I will continue to develop better ones.]

[Chloe: (Patting head) This one is pretty good. No background noise, sounds just like normal hearing, doesn’t affect my life at all. You’ve done a great job, you’ve improved.]

A few seconds later, an OK ca back from the other side.

Chloe’s mouth curled up subtly, as if she could see the person on the other end with their head slightly lowered, looking shy.

She put her phone away and climbed up the stairs.

This year’s senior class was divided into 23 classes: the first three from the front were the key classes, the last three were the "Drears class," essentially the low-ranking classes, and the rest were the Ordinary Classes.

The noisiest floor is the first floor, where the Drears class was located. The second to fourth floors were the Ordinary Classes, the fifth floor had the key classes, and the teacher’s office was on the sixth floor.

Every two months they would reshuffle the classes. Those ranked within the top hundred in the grade would be promoted to the key class, and those who fell into the bottom hundred would be relegated to the Drears class. Those whose ranks lay between would remain unaffected.

Chloe’s Class 18 was located on the third floor. She did not bother to squeeze into an elevator with the others. Instead, she quickly climbed up to the third floor.

She turned a corner and entered her classroom. An eerie silence made her looked up, only to see more than twenty pairs of eyes staring at her.

Her gaze shifted and fell upon her disheveled desk.
