Chapter 135: Chapter 111: She is from the Stephens Family (1 update)
Mallory was left on the ship, the journey had already ended, and he could go wherever he wished.
Chloe Stephens would not interfere with him.
But she asked him to be on call.
Old Lynch had prepared the herbs and was waiting for Chloe to come over.
Afternoon.
Under the scorching sun.
So hot, it was explosive.
Exposure to 35 degrees Celsius.
Old Lynch sat drowsily in front of the counter, blowing air from a fan made in the 1970s.
A girl appeared at the door.
Lynch woke up suddenly, "Young girl, you finally came!"
Lynch took out a white plastic bag from behind him, filling it with medicinal herbs.
The herbs Chloe needed were not much, just enough to fit into a large plastic bag.
"Thank you."
She turned to leave with the bag in her hand.
"Young girl, to thank you for saving my life, take this bag as well if you don’t mind."
He offered a snake-skin bag.
Chloe accepted without courtesy.
Someone approached from outside.
Fully armed, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
Amelia Taylor saw Chloe, blinked slightly, "It’s you again."
Amelia approached and gave her own medicine list to old Lynch, "This is the medicine I need."
Lynch was about to accept but seeing Amelia remove her mask, he recognized her. Realization hit him, he frowned slightly and rejected the medicine list, "I won’t do business with the Taylor Family."
Amelia Taylor smiled, "Old Lynch, you are determined to oppose the Taylor family to the end."
Old Lynch’s face tensed, he sneered, "The Taylor Family tried to take my life several times. I would rather do business with animals than with you. Please leave."
The perfect smile on Amelia’s face cracked a little.
For some trivial old matters, he refused to take easy money.
It must be said that the Lynch family’s medicine supply is extremely powerful.
Although Old Lynch is the only one in the shop, the transport team behind him is very powerful.
The people who search for medicine are all martial artists.
Even the team delivering medicines is a special one.
Even some medication-related families in the Imperial Capital occasionally resort to the Lynch Family.
"Old Lynch, even the Stephens family’s people can buy, but why not sell to the Taylor Family? The Stephens family was highly involved in those past incidents."
Amelia pointed at Chloe.
Old Lynch knew Chloe had saved his life twice, but he didn’t know her real identity, also, he had no time to check on the little girl’s background.
"She is from the Stephens family."
"You don’t know?" Hearing this, Amelia chuckled slightly, "She was driven out by the Stephens family. Because of her issue, the Stephens family doesn’t even need her."
Amelia pointed to her own head.
Lynch frowned, "What about the Stephens family? It’s my decision who I want to sell to and it’s definitely not up to the juniors of the Taylor family to instruct me."
Amelia was a star who had grown up in the entertainment industry, cherished by everyone. Her fans also spoiled her excessively.
She had never been so humiliated.
She wanted to get angry on the spot but held back.
She didn’t forget that he was part of the Lynch Family.
If she wanted to act, she would have to consider it carefully first.

Chloe was waiting for the bus with a plastic bag and a snake-skin bag.
In broad daylight, she couldn’t possibly fly around rooftops with these in hand.
Amelia Taylor parked her car next to Chloe, "Chloe, I want that bag of herbs."
Chloe didn’t even give her a glance.
"Chloe, in the future you mother and daughter may need to seek help from the Taylor family. Consider this a small favor, if you need help with a minor illness you can come to me. I just want that bag of herbs. It’s no use to you to take it back, it’s best to burn it in a furnace. It’s better to give it to me; you can also earn a favor."
Although her words were much milder, her tone was indifferent with a faint smile, however, it was no different from Lily Taylor’s.
Chloe expressed dissatisfaction with the Taylor Family’s traditions again.
She wondered how the Taylor Family could teach its descendants to behave like this.
"Chloe."
A no-response from Chloe and Amelia’s smile began to wane.
Chloe Stephens boarded the bus, carrying two bags of medicinal herbs.
Amelia Taylor had to board the bus too, avoiding public view.
Chloe’s repeated indifference towards her made Amelia feel a surge of irritation trapped in her chest, unable to be expelled or swallowed.

Yvette Foster wasn’t at home.
After leaving the herbs, Chloe went to River East Village.
It was hot out, so she bought a popsicle by the roadside.
A bottle of icy cold water touched the back of her neck. Chloe turned around to see a stunningly handsome man bathed in sunlight.
"Little Chloe, what did you get from your trip this time?"
She had texted him two days ago saying she was out.
Len Hawthorne waited for two days and then set out today to find a place to treat people to a meal.
While unwrapping her popsicle, Chloe replied, "The yield was not very good."
Len didn’t inquire further, "Come, your big brother has come out to treat you to a meal. Once the results are out, we can celebrate again."
Chloe followed behind Len, eating her popsicle.
*
As soon as Len took a seat in the private room, his phone rang.
"I’m taking a call."
Chloe picked up the menu to take a look.
Len received a call from Imperial Capital.
"Team Hawthorne, there’s some bad news online. Someone has exposed our whereabouts. That guy with the surname Cheng, there’s someone pulling strings behind him."
Len raised his eyebrows, "Find evidence, and then report back to me."
The person on the other side of the line agreed and hung up.
Len made another call out, quickly arranging for people to monitor the movements online.
He returned to the private room.
Len laughed, "Order anything, your big brother can afford it."
Chloe placed the list of dishes she had written before him.
Seeing the most expensive dishes on it, she really hadn’t held back at all.
Len smiled and pressed the bell. A waiter came in shortly and took the menu away.
"When do you plan to go to Sheffield City?"
"Waiting for the results."
"Are you confident?"
"I’ve applied for Sheffield City First High School."
So, she is sure to get in.
Len smiled, "On that day, I will accompany you."
"No need," Chloe looked up at him, "The Stephens family will come down."
Len paused slightly, "Do you mean to say that you are really going back to the Stephens family?"
"I have some accounts to settle there."
"Little Chloe, Stephens family is like a lion’s den. It’s easy to get in but hard to get out "
Chloe suddenly said, "I have been working on medicines lately. The medicine you need will be out soon."
Len’s smile grew deeper, "Even if it’s poison, I would accept it if it’s from you, Little Chloe."
Chloe gave him a glance.

At the Connor family residence.
Kingsley Connor contacted the people from the machinery side.
They quickly found some clues.
Despite the crucial parts of the surveillance being wiped clean, several people were spotted in the vicinity. Among them, one girl seemed suspicious.
Though Kingsley was skeptical that the girl was behind it all, with a slight possibility, he intended to track her down and interrogate her.
"Immediately send out people to bring back these individuals. The price can be set by your mercenary group."
The person dealing with machinery had a close relationship with an international mercenary group. He suggested that the Connor family hire people to handle this matter, upon realising the severity of the situation.
Of course.
The price would be comparatively higher.
Given the state Kingsley was in, the Connor family would spare no expense to track down the person or persons responsible.
The man at the other end of the phone rewarded his words with a smile, "Mr. Connor, a minor task like this can be completed by our people in just a day. However, they need half of the payment in advance. Until they get the money, they won’t take action."
Kingsley hastily transferred the money.
