Chapter 139: Chapter 115: Preparing to Terminate the Engagement (1 update)

Adam Stephens said solemnly, "Elliot Xenos, we are here to pick up someone, not to kidnap."

Elliot Xenos still had a blank expression, "Indeed, we are here to pick up someone, sir. If anything goes wrong, it would be difficult to explain to the family leader."

"What could go wrong? Are there other people from the Stephens Family who would harm my daughter?"

As he spoke, Adam glanced in Rowan Stephen’s direction.

Rowan clearly felt Adam’s gaze, and lowered his eyes slightly.

Elliot Xenos, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, spoke indifferently and sharply, "Sir, you should be well aware of the situation in the Stephens Family. Competition is inevitable."

It was no secret.

The cruelty of large families was unimaginable to others, so it was necessary for him to remind Chloe who was standing here.

Yvette Foster clenched her fists, somewhat nervous.

"My daughter doesn’t need to endure all that," Adam frowned.

"When she returns to the Stephens Family, she will have to face it eventually. Sir, you can protect her for a while, but not for a lifetime."

Adam said solemnly, "By then, I will protect her in my own way. There’s no need for you to remind our family here."

Elliot Xenos nodded slightly, "In that case, Miss Chloe Stephens, please get ready. It’s time to go."

"I will go to Sheffield City in a while," Chloe suddenly spoke.

As soon as Chloe’s words fell, Elliot Xenos’s brows furrowed tightly.

"Miss Chloe Stephens, we are here to pick you up personally on the orders of the family leader," you were already given such great favors that none of the other young masters and misses could enjoy, only Chloe.

In order to ensure that no one would cause trouble along the way, the family leader had sent him out.

But now that he was here, Chloe refused to go.

This was something Elliot Xenos hadn’t expected. He thought Chloe couldn’t wait to leave Mountain County and return to the Stephens Family to enjoy more privileges.

"Chloe," Adam walked up to her.

"I will go by myself. Don’t bother picking me up."

"Chloe, your father will stay with you," Adam knew that his daughter was resisting the Stephens Family.

Chloe looked at Elliot Xenos, then moved her gaze to Rowan who stood to one side.

Rowan felt her gaze and looked back.

For some reason, the girl’s gaze seemed to be piercing, as if she could see through all his thoughts.

This made Rowan feel very uncomfortable.

"Miss Chloe cannot act capriciously. This is a good opportunity to go home."

Despite this, Elliot Xenos still spoke softly to her.

Chloe ignored him and continued to focus on Rowan.

Rowan showed a friendly big brother-like smile, "Chloe, in the future, your big brother will be there to take care of you. If anyone bullies you, just find your big brother!"

Chloe seemed not to see Rowan’s friendliness, and instead turned to Elliot Xenos, "Is it appropriate for the Stephens Family to resort to treachery?"

Elliot Xenos thought she was going to ask something else, but instead asked such a question, and could not help but be stunned for a while. Understanding the meaning of her words, he replied, "Is Miss Chloe’s meaning to use various means to achieve her own goals? Such people exist not only in large families but also in smaller families outside."

Chloe then asked, "So, is it reasonable for the family members to kill their own people to achieve their goals?"

"I can’t answer that for Miss Chloe, it depends on the nature of the situation."

"If he plots against me in secret, and I attack him openly, is that reasonable?"

Elliot Xenos finally looked seriously at Chloe before him. He thought carefully for a moment, then said, "In front of an absolute strong person, these things may be reasonable."

"Survival of the fittest, I understand."

As the cold words fell, for no apparent reason, Rowan, who was standing to one side, felt a chill down his back.

It seemed that these words were aimed at him.

Maybe it was just his illusion.

Chloe’s glance at him earlier must have been out of curiosity.

"Miss Chloe Stephens, can we go now?"

"I just said, I will go by myself," Chloe nodded to Adam and Yvette, and then went upstairs.

All the people in the living room were left behind without a care.

Elliot Xenos frowned deeply.

From this encounter, he felt that Chloe had changed somehow.

Rowan saw that Chloe had actually thrown the chief steward of the Stephens Family aside, suppressing the laughter at the corner of his mouth. Offending the chief steward would not bode well for her future.

Although Elliot Xenos looked refined, he was actually an ancient martial artist.

Otherwise, how could he stand beside the family leader and manage affairs for him?

As for the matter of Chloe indirectly offending Elliot Xenos, Rowan was very happy to see it happen.

"You all wait outside for now; I will talk to the child clearly."

Seeing Chloe’s resistance, Adam said to Elliot Xenos.

Elliot Xenos nodded and waited outside with his people.

On the second floor.

As soon as Chloe sat down, Adam knocked on the door.

The door opened, and both Adam and Yvette entered the room.

Examining his daughter’s room, Adam did not immediately ask her the reason.

"Has the pressure been too much for you lately, Chloe?"

"I will go to the Stephens Family," Chloe said.

Adam looked at Yvette Foster.

Yvette said, "Adam, Chloe said she wants to wait for the results to come out before going to university."

Adam understood, "That’s fine too, then your dad will stay here with you to wait for the results."

Chloe looked towards the door, "The people outside are waiting for you."

"Let them wait."

Having hardly spent time with his wife and daughter, Adam could not easily turn around and leave.

"What’s going on with the Fisher Family?"

Chloe suddenly asked about the Fisher Family, surprising Adam once again.

Adam said, "Your marriage to the Fisher Family will not be canceled. They won’t do that, as the Stephens Family has what they want."

"It’s indeed necessary to have a profitable marriage between families of equal status," Chloe nodded in agreement.

"Chloe," from the last call, Adam could sense how different the girl was. Now that he experienced it personally, he felt a strange distance.

"Adam, what is the attitude of the Fisher Family? It concerns our daughter’s future. I know Filbert Fisher is a good boy, but we have to see if our daughter likes him or not." In fact, Yvette knew Chloe was considering breaking off the engagement.

She was just worried that the Fisher Family would be persistent in not breaking off the engagement.

Adam was also regretful. At that time, seeing what a good child Filbert Fisher was, and the fact that he had excellent talent at a young age, Adam agreed to set up the marriage for his daughter’s entire life.

Now he had inadvertently harmed his daughter.

He was consumed by guilt.

At this moment, the Fisher Family had already received the news of Adam’s impending arrival to Mountain County.

Zachary Fisher called Filbert Fisher over.

"Dad."

"The girl from the Stephens Family is coming back. Get ready."

Filbert brightened up, "You want to go to the Stephens Family to break off the engagement!"

Zachary Fisher nodded, "Your aunt has already chosen a suitable match for you in the Imperial Capital. You can meet her later."

Filbert said, "Dad, the person I like is Ella Stephens."

"Ella Stephens."

Zachary Fisher frowned.

Filbert continued, "Dad, Ella is also a legitimate member of the Stephens Family, and she is quite capable. She can enter the ancient martial arts boundary and help me tremendously in the future. Besides, doesn’t our Fisher Family want something from the Stephens Family? It doesn’t matter who we ally with through marriage, as long as the person is a legitimate descendant."

Ella was beautiful and had excellent academic performance. She even entered the technology research team, and became an aerospace researcher. Not everyone could easily join, yet Ella was one of them, and that was quite impressive.
