Chapter 520 Can’t Get Along I looked up and found that the person in front of me was none other than Trinity.
To be honest, it was the first time I was facing her directly. I calmly glanced at her, not quite sure why she was seeking me out. Logically, we had no connections or any reason to communicate.
But she spoke first, “”Ms. Chloe, can we talk somewhere privately?” I couldn’t help but pause for a moment, looking at her for a few seconds, then nodded, “Okay.” Seeing my agreement, she cast a glance in Atlas’s direction and then at me before turning and walking toward a
quieter area in the hall.
On either side of the main hall were small private seats, where several people were engrossed in conversations.
I glanced back at Atlas, worried that he might get anxious if he couldn’t find me. As I looked back, I saw him looking in my direction. I gestured toward Trinity, indicating that I was going with her.
He gave Trinity a cold glance and nodded subtly, indicating that he understood.
I followed Trinity to a relatively secluded seat. She arrogantly looked at me and asked, “What would you like to drink?” “A glass of white wine, please,” I
replied calmly.
Trinity gestured to a waiter, who then approached us with a tray. I casually took a glass of white wine from him.
@ I didn’t particularly enjoy alcohol and wasn’t knowledgeable about it, but in this setting, the color of the wine put me at ease.
I’ knew I had to be cautious.
I Trinity examined me, clearly understanding my intentions.
“Ms. Chloe, do you know why I approached you?” Trinity cut to the chase, but her question didn’t sit well with me. It felt like she was asserting her dominance, and I was supposed to submit to her authority. I’looked at her, exuding an attitude
that was neither servile nor
overbearing, and said, “I’m all ears.” Ls Surprised by my composure, she gazed at me with piercing eyes while taking a large sip of red wine. Her fiery red lips looked even more. alluring and full. Up close, she truly was a beauty, but her beauty was
wild and exotic.
“I don’t have any particular dislike for you, but l’also don’t like you. Some people can be friends, while others aren’t suitable to be friends. At the very least, you’re not suitable to be my friend.” She was decisive and direct in her words.
Implicit in her statement was the notion that our paths didn’t align.
“I agree.” I replied without hesitation.
“We used to keep to our own spheres. I never crossed boundaries, and I never meddled in your affairs Moreover, you have a reputation for attracting trouble, and I believe you’re aware of the mixed reviews about you.” Her words inexplicably brought a smile to my face, and the tension between us eased slightly.
“However, for me, the distinction between good and bad is different from the ordinary. What others see as bad might be precisely what I see as good.
So far, I haven’t passed judgment on your character or taken sides.” I kept my gaze fixed on her. Her words surprised me a little. Was she trying to make it clear that she wasn’t in alliance with Stella? My mind raced, analyzing the purpose
behind her words.
Noting my direct gaze and)
contemplation, she continued, “But I
have my principles as well, albeit
different from those of others. I’m
possessive. Once I have my eye on something, I won’t let it go. Even if I can’t have it, I’d rather destroy it than let others have it.” l’understood the implications of her words, but I
didn’t interject or rush to declare my stance.
“Until now, I’ve never made an exception to this principle. No one has been able to make me compromise.” Listening to her, I began to perceive Trinity in a new light. She wasn’t the impulsive, wild person I initially thought she was. Instead, she was
clearly intelligent and principled. €» “Then why did your people get involved in Harmony’s case?” I asked calmly.
