Chapter 137: Chapter 113: Receiving People (3rd Update)
Stephens Family.
Building 10.
Carl Stephens was Pierce Stephens’s cousin and also belonged to the direct lineage.
Unfortunately, due to the previous generation’s relationship and Pierce’s abilities, the position of family leader fell into Pierce’s hands.
Back then, Carl was the most capable challenger against Pierce.
Carl’s strength was only second to Pierce’s, but they had never competed against each other in all these years, so it was still uncertain who was higher or lower.
As for his son Kenneth, he was exceptional, better than Pierce’s son Adam.
In the Stephens family.
Any of the direct descendants, no matter who, could be stronger than the eunuch-like Adam if pulled out randomly.
At this moment.
Kenneth was sitting on the sofa, talking to Carl, who was in the main seat.
"They’re about to bring the people home, so Building 11 must be panicking."
Carl indifferently said, "They raised the approval vote, so it seems that they have a way to deal with the mother and child."
"That mother and child are nothing, Rowan is our real competitive force."
Kenneth originally wanted to send his son to Adam’s side, but Gideon preempted him.
In order to fight for this position, Gideon had used a lot of underhanded tactics behind the scenes.
However, they also used quite a few tactics on their side.
It wasn’t just the two of them, but others were involved as well.
With Adam cutting off his own retreat, there were plenty of talented youngsters in the Stephens family scrambling for the inheritance rights of the family leader.
"For the sake of a woman, Adam’s side has suffered a lot of mockery."
"Even if they bring his daughter back, it will only cause more chaos. If they couldn’t kill her before she was born and discovered she had brain issues, then the endless underhanded tactics would be less."
Of course, they had also done a lot of those underhanded tactics on their side.
Others could use them, and so could they.
Kenneth paused for a moment, then said, "Do we need to prepare a big gift to welcome the mother and daughter?"
Carl shook his head, "There are plenty of people waiting to take action, so we’ll stay out of it."
Kenneth nodded.
From the second floor, a shadow retreated back into the room.

The next day.
Chloe didn’t get up early.
Yvette Foster didn’t go to the company either.
She was anxiously waiting at home.
Meanwhile, at the Divinity Temple in River East Village.
The man sitting cross-legged in front of the steps slowly opened his eyes and gathered his breath.
Up front, Fred Foster brought breakfast over.
He set it down beside him, then sat down as well.
"Elder Foster Major."
"Eat."
"Thank you."
"You’re doing well in your Qigong practice!" For the past few days, Len Hawthorne had been searching for answers here. Apart from the noise that night, there had been no reaction when he brought the broken ribbon back into the temple. He suspected that someone had used the ribbon to do something here.
Otherwise, how could such a strange situation arise out of nowhere?
"It’s just for strengthening my body."
"Youngster, it’s great that you have this kind of mindset."
Len smiled, "Elder Foster-Major, if you have nothing to do in River East Village later on, you can practice with that book. Maybe one day, you will achieve the ultimate divine power."
Old Foster laughed, "Don’t tease this old man."
"I’m not teasing Elder Foster-Major. In this world, there are many unexplained things. Perhaps there are unknown things growing rapidly in the depths of the deep sea..."
People will never be able to understand the world within the sea.
"Indeed, there are unknown things in the world," Old Foster sighed, not knowing what he had thought of, and began to meditate like Len.
Len finished his breakfast and took a walk around the area.

At the entrance to the mountain county.
More than a dozen luxury cars drove in.
Adam straightened his suit.
He was going to see his wife and daughter today and had specially put on a new suit.
Due to a lack of trust in Adam, Pierce had also sent people to follow him, making sure to bring the people back home and prevent Adam from escaping.
Although doing such a thing would be distasteful, knowing what Pierce Stephens thought of Adam Stephens, there was no doubt that he would be capable of doing it.
Once such a joke had spread throughout the family, it would be extremely difficult for Adam to establish his authority again in the future.
Accompanying him was Elliot Xenos, Pierce Stephens’ assistant and butler.
Everyone knew that besides Jeremy Jennings, Elliot Xenos was closest to Pierce Stephens.
Usually, his position among the Stephens Family was even higher than that of the direct descendants.
Pierce Stephens sent him out as a precautionary measure.
As for Rowan Stephens, who was in another car, he wanted to show his concern for Chloe.
Not long ago, he had taken the medicine given to him by Lily Taylor, and he felt that his progress had been growing bigger and bigger.
However, he hadn’t been able to find anyone during this time.
Lily Taylor seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden. Fortunately, there were no side effects, so he didn’t need her anymore.
Rowan played with his mobile phone, his slender hands on the window, his dark eyes flickering with faint light as he stared at the scenery entering Mountain County.
Last time he was there, he had headed straight for the Divinity Temple.
This time, it was to pick up that mentally challenged girl.

"I’m going out for a while."
Chloe, who had gone downstairs, informed Yvette, who was pacing back and forth in the living room.
Yvette suddenly turned around, "At this time? But your father will be here any moment."
"Even if he comes, I may not go with him."
Yvette was taken aback, "But didn’t you say..."
"When school starts, I will go to Sheffield City."
Yvette finally understood that Chloe’s return was not in the way she thought, but in another manner.
However, Adam Stephens had already entered Mountain County.
And with Elder Foster Major’s people following, they would definitely be enraged if they missed Chloe.
Elliot Xenos was Elder Foster Major’s most trusted person. If he told on Chloe to the old man, their daughter’s situation would only get worse.
Chloe looked at Yvette’s pale face and said, "I will be back in half an hour."
With that, she left the door.
*
More than a dozen cars quickly entered the villa.
Yvette stood at the entrance, welcoming the arrivals.
Adam opened the car door and stepped out.
He looked as elegant and noble as ever, just as he had the first time he caught her eye.
Adam strode towards her, embracing his wife tightly.
"You’ve suffered."
"Adam."
"I’m sorry for putting you both in this situation."
Yvette shook her head, "I’m fine."
Because of the others present, Adam couldn’t keep holding her for too long.
With a poker face, Elliot Xenos walked over. He gave a slight nod to Yvette, not very respectful but not impolite either.
Rowan came over with a smile, greeting Yvette.
"Where’s Chloe?"
It had been a while, but they still hadn’t seen their daughter.
Yvette glanced at Elliot Xenos, "Chloe, she..."
Adam’s face suddenly changed, "Has Chloe’s condition worsened again?"
"No," Yvette shook her head, "Chloe is fine, she’s just not at home."
"Not at home!"
Adam froze, and Elliot frowned.

Hospital.
The Connor Family had been nervously waiting all night. When they called Yvette, her tone was cold.
Jinna Yates worried that Yvette might have suspected something.
Kingsley Connor said, "She shouldn’t guess that we’re acting behind her back. You kindly warned her, she should be grateful to us."
Instead of suspecting them.
"We’ll just wait for your old classmate to come and thank us. Then we can take the opportunity to bring up our terms."
Jinna nodded.
The two looked up and saw a cold-looking girl standing outside the VIP ward.
