Chapter 167: Chapter 143: White Lotus, Don’t Mess with the Slaughter Squad (1 Update)
"Chloe has returned to the Stephens Family."
The first thing Filbert Fisher told Zachary Fisher when he saw him was that Chloe Stephens had returned home.
Zachary Fisher tilted his head to look at his son and said, "She just moved back to the Stephens Family. We need to give them some breathing space."
Filbert Fisher nodded in understanding.
"Does our Fisher Family need to interfere in what happened last time in Sheffield City?"
Filbert Fisher was referring to what the Slaughter Squad had done in Sheffield City.
Zachary Fisher showed the documents in his hand to his son, "I wanted to discuss this issue with you. The Slaughter Squad has been acting increasingly arrogant lately, directly entering Sheffield City and removing our eyes from the noble families to work on their own. This city is still our territory, we can’t let the Slaughter Squad take it over as they had done with Mountain County."
Thinking of the man surnamed Hawthorne, Filbert Fisher’s gaze chilled, "They have indeed gone too far."
Zachary Fisher said, "The intentions of the Family Leader are clear, it’s my job to negotiate these matters."
"Negotiating with the Slaughter Squad? Why would the family leader assign you such a thankless task?" Filbert felt that the family leader might be doing this deliberately.
The family leader of the Fisher Family differed from other noble families.
He had ascended to his position after the sudden death of Zachary Fisher’s father, at which point Zachary Fisher had already taken over much of the family’s affairs.
However, in terms of strength, the father of Riley Downing was superior.
Which was why Zachary Fisher always felt constrained.
Zachary Fisher’s voice came out cold as ice, "This is the result the family leader wants. Since I am in this position, it is my duty to negotiate."
Zachary Fisher’s son was talented and had obviously surpassed many of his peers in the Fisher Family.
Zachary Fisher was proud to have such a son.
"Father, is there anything you need me to do?"
"You just need to focus on your training, you don’t have to do anything else. About the annulment, I will discuss it with Kenneth Stephens."
If they wanted to propose a new marriage to his daughter, it would be wise to negotiate first.
Filbert Fisher nodded.
Despite his eagerness, he was willing to give Chloe Stephens, his future wife, a few more days.
In a few days, he would be able to completely rid of this brainless woman.

Their car drove straight to Building 3.
Outside Building 3.
A crowd was bustling.
The inquisitive crowd demonstrated the grandeur of the Stephens Family.
In Rowan Stephens’s hand was a bouquet of elegant flowers. He offered them to Chloe Stephens with a smile:
"Big brother heard that when you come home and smell the incense, things will go smoothly. Chloe, welcome home!"
A faultless smile.
Wholehearted blessings.
To onlookers, Rowan Stephens played the part of the perfect older brother!
Adam Stephens and Yvette Foster looked at their daughter, a little worried.
When Chloe Stephens was living at home before, she rarely spoke, and her behavior was often odd.
So everyone was a little cautious about her.
Chloe Stephens quietly watched Rowan Stephens.
There were no ripples in her eyes.
But like being enveloped by an abyss, while his face was smiling, Rowan Stephens felt a small contraction in his heart and had some difficulty breathing.
He really hated being stared at like that.
Chloe Stephens picked up her bag, and with all eyes on her, walked past Rowan Stephens.
She ignored him.
His perfect smile almost faltered.
"Rowan, I’m sorry. Chloe has always been like this. Please don’t let it bother you."
Yvette Foster stepped forward to explain gently for Chloe Stephens.
Rowan Stephens’s flowers were almost crushed in his hand.
The corners of his eyes contracted slightly.
This woman was pretending to be harmless.
He didn’t think he didn’t know how she had managed to avoid harm time and time again.
A white lotus that could only play innocent.
Rowan Stephens’ smiling face regained its composure, "Aunt, you’re kidding. How could I blame Chloe? Everyone understands Chloe’s situation. In the future, I will take good care of Chloe. You don’t need to worry."
"Rowan, don’t be formal with Auntie. When you first came over, you used to call Auntie ’Mother’. How come you’ve grown distant after not seeing each other for two years?"
Yvette Foster’s smile was soft, and no matter how you looked at her, she appeared to be a gentle, harmless mother.
Rowan Stephens’ eyebrows twitched, and he smiled and called her "Mother."
However, he felt a sense of discomfort in his heart.
Adam Stevens held Yvette Foster’s hand and said to Rowan Stephens, "Let’s go in first."
Rowan smiled and tightened his grip on the bouquet in his hand.
Elliot Xenos glanced at the family entering the door and turned to leave, heading off to report to Pierce Stephens.
Seeing this, the others also dispersed.
This mentally unstable person wasn’t worth their attention.
*
Kelly Stephens had just returned from signing up for school and heard that Chloe was back as soon as she entered the door.
Just as Gideon Stephens was about to take his wife, Freya Leonard, to pay a visit to Building 3.
Kelly frowned at this, "Dad, Mom, do we really need to show respect to those commoners? Bringing gifts to them, won’t it make them feel superior to us?"
She didn’t want to go.
Freya Leonard said, "Your younger brother is over there. If we don’t go over, how will the rest of the Stephens family see us?"
"That doesn’t mean we should elevate their status like this."
"Your younger brother is there, so we have to interact." Freya reminded her, "Your younger brother is now being groomed as one potential heir."
Kelly pursed her lips, saying nothing with a stern face.

Elliot Xenos arrived at Building 1.
He passed by Jeremy Jennings, who was standing outside, and saw Pierce Stephens in the spacious lounge.
"Master."
Pierce lifted his heavy gaze.
Elliot reported the process of Chloe’s return.
After listening, Pierce nodded stoically.
Elliot knew that the return of a discarded child with a mental disorder wouldn’t cause much commotion.
Some people might not even care at all.
With her personality and mental condition, Chloe, returning to the family, would just stay obediently and wouldn’t make any fuss.
Pierce wouldn’t waste his time seeing her, either.
Having reported everything, Elliot stood to one side.
It was then that Pierce asked, "Have there been any changes with the Slaughter Squad?"
With respect, Elliot replied, "It’s been quiet since the last clean-up of the unidentified objects. Do we need to send more people to investigate?"
Pierce waved his hand with a husky voice, "As for the Slaughter Squad, no need to provoke them."
Despite his confusion, Elliot didn’t pry further.
Experience showed that every decision of Pierce’s was correct.
Pierce, leading the whole family forward, carried a heavy burden. He usually watched over significant matters. Even at this age, he still worried about the development of the next generation.
If the Stephens family could not produce a competent heir, they would truly decline after this generation.
The elder council was anxious, and so was Pierce.

Chloe’s room was still in the same one as before.
The first room on the left of the second floor.
This position was best for taking care of her condition at any time.
Rowan was in the farthest room on the right-hand side.
A family.
He was left by the side.
Standing in his sister’s room filled with laughter.
He felt like a redundant person.
The housemaids were all bowing their heads, minding their own business, not interfering with their master’s private affairs.
"Chloe, this place hasn’t changed at all. It’s the same as before. Tomorrow your father will accompany you to register at school."
Adam never thought that Chloe’s grades could be this good!
She even got first place in the whole country!
Adam wanted to mention this to Pierce, to let him know that his daughter was not the way they thought she was.
If anyone were to say his daughter was useless in the future, he would slap this achievement on their face.
Living in the village, Chloe managed to avoid the outside turbulence. The summer vacation only came smoothly because of this.
"Chloe, Mom will sleep with you tonight..."
Yvette worried that her daughter wouldn’t easily adapt.
Looking at the inseparable couple, Chloe calmly said, "No need, you two should catch up."
Yvette and Adam both felt embarrassed and quickly let go of each other’s hands.
