Chapter 170: Chapter 146: Your Stepson Is Restless (4 updates)

Rowan’s eyes were a bit cold.

What does she mean?

Is she mocking him for not having any authority in this house?

Rowan took a deep breath, his tone indifferent, "Stephens Family’s authority is not open to us disciples."

Chloe nodded, stood up, and looked down at him.

Rowan frowned again.

This idiot obviously has a problem with her mind, speaking and acting strangely.

Chloe looked at Adam, "Your stepson is not well-behaved."

"Huh?"

Adam was also stunned.

Rowan’s cheek muscles twitched.

The spoon and fork in his hand were about to be crushed.

What does she mean, and what does she want to do?

Yvette looked at Rowan, seeing that his expression was a bit strained, and said: "Chloe, there are some dessert left in the kitchen. I’ll get it for you."

Chloe said: "I’ll get it myself. Come to my room after you finish eating."

She then went upstairs.

Rowan’s palm muscles were twitching slightly due to over-tension.

At this time, Adam’s expression also became indifferent, "Finish eating and go back to your room to do your homework."

Rowan pursed his lips, lost his appetite, put down the spoon and fork, and went upstairs.

Yvette’s hand was placed on Adam’s back, her eyes filled with worry, "Adam."

Adam’s hand also gripped hers and comforted her: "It’s okay. The family asked me to cultivate an heir, not a father-son relationship based on true feelings. He knew the outcome from the moment he came here and accepted me as his father. I also told him that I would not have any fatherly love for him, he agreed."

No one forced him to do this; it was all Rowan’s own decision.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, children from wealthy families generally have mature thoughts.

Therefore, all of Rowan’s choices are his own ideas.

After dinner, Yvette went into Chloe’s room.

"Chloe."

Chloe, who was sitting in front of the computer, turned around and also turned off the screen.

"Sit down, please."

Yvette sat in the chair, looking at her daughter, feeling calm.

She had just returned for one day, and there were many more uncertainties waiting for them. She dare not slack off for a moment.

Chloe reached out to take Yvette’s pulse.

Whenever Chloe did something like this that didn’t match her age, Yvette always felt incredibly out of place.

"The situation is stable. Just continue to cultivate according to my teachings from now on."

"Chloe," Yvette had wanted to ask this for a long time, "where on earth did you learn all this from?"

Chloe looked at her and said, "I learned it all by myself."

*

Late at night.

Yvette lay next to Adam, worrying, "Adam, Chloe’s situation is getting more serious recently. She even learned how to take pulses from the TV shows and gave me something called a secret manual to cultivate with. That scene alone, I’m really scared."

Adam frowned, "When did this start happening?"

"It’s just been recently," Yvette thought about it, "It’s strange, but ever since I ate the medicine candy Chloe gave me, I feel much lighter! Every day I feel like I have an endless amount of energy."

Hearing this, Adam immediately reached out to hold her wrist, even trying to take her pulse, but he was not a true medical expert.

He didn’t detect any abnormalities, just that Yvette’s physical condition did indeed improve significantly.

"Do you still have any of that medicine candy? Let me have a look."

"It’s in a box. I’ll show it to you tomorrow," Yvette said with some apprehension. She believed her daughter before taking those things, but her daughter’s strange behavior was what really worried her.

Adam nodded.

Rowan fell asleep at midnight and suddenly sat up straight. Cold sweat was dripping down his forehead.

It was as if he sensed something and suddenly looked towards the window.

A pair of dark purple eyes stared at him like an abyss.

His face changed abruptly, slid out of bed, and rushed over to push the window open.

In front of him, there was only darkness, nothing else.

Was that just an illusion?

Rowan sighed in relief.

"Meow."

A low, somewhat heavy cat cry came from behind him.

In the quiet night, such a low and heavy cat cry sounded eerily like a sudden sound in a graveyard.

Rowan’s hair stood on end!

He turned around quickly.

He turned on the light in the room.

He saw a black cat lying on the edge of the bed, looking unhappy and a bit angry.

Being toyed with by a cat, the anger within him grew even stronger.

"Get lost."

Rowan’s voice was cold, and at the same time, he reached out to pinch the cat.

The black cat quickly leaped away, and in an instant, it was behind him.

Rowan had grasped at air.

He turned to see the black cat rushing out of the window, just as he was about to chase after and catch the animal, a chilling cold wind suddenly poured in through the window, making it impossible for him to keep his eyes open.

September, how could there be cold wind?

Unusual occurrences hint at unnatural causes.

What was the deal with this black cat?

Rowan looked outside for a long time but saw no trace of the cat. It was as if its appearance had merely been an illusion.

*

Rooftop.

The black cat strutted over with its elegant feline gait, approaching a girl squatting at the edge. It slowly lay down next to the girl’s hand.

"Meow."

The sound was so low that it was barely audible.

Chloe raised her gaze, taking in the moonlit scenery.

Such a large family, yet so quiet at night that not even a whisper could be heard.

It was a rare sight.

Chloe yawned, let her foot hanging off the edge dangle, and with her body weight floating, she dropped gently to the ground.

The black cat trailed behind her like a featherlight body.

Chloe went to the rooftop of Building 11.

Standing here, she surveyed the area once more and then descended again.

She walked around the Stephens Family’s compound.

Secret protectors roamed near Building 1.

"Who’s there?"

A low voice barked, and several secret protectors rushed out.

Chloe stood on the rooftop of Building 1, looking down at the secret protectors.

Watching around but not above, is this the Stephens Family’s full defensive force?

The girl’s figure, like light, darted across the front, and even the semi-ancient martial artists’ secret protectors couldn’t tell if it was wind or a person.

Only a scent of snow ridge wood resin was left behind.

But there were no traces to capture.

*

The next morning.

Building 1.

An emergency gathering.

All the elders and high-ranking core members of the Stephens Family were assembled at Building 1.

In the morning, everyone saw the core members heading to Building 1, a continuous stream of cars driving there.

There was suddenly a sense of unease within the Stephens Family.

An emergency gathering, what happened!

Adam hurried to Building 1 without even having breakfast, but upon arrival, they were informed that they couldn’t enter and had to wait outside.

Kenneth looked at Adam and nodded slightly.

Today was School Opening day.

First Middle School was bustling, especially outside the school gate, where parents sent their children to school.

Luxury cars lined up one after another.

Chloe simply wore a cross-body bag, canvas shoes, and sported a casual attire.

On the first day back, there was a welcoming ceremony for new students on the playground.

"Chloe, Chloe!"

Ava Sanders and Mason Sullivan got along well these past two days, they were in the same class.

Chloe could frequently be seen going in and out with them.

Chloe was easy to find, even in a crowd of people, she could be spotted at first glance.

Dazzlingly eye-catching, impossible to ignore.

Chloe turned, just in time to bump into a senior, spilling water all over herself.

The two girls beside her frowned at Chloe, "What’s the matter with you? Can’t you apologize after bumping into someone?"

The girl who got bumped pulled the two of them back, "It’s nothing. With so many people around, it’s inevitable. Don’t worry about it, junior."

"You’re always so nice, Rosella."

"Never mind. Let’s go buy water again, the teachers are waiting."

Rosella glanced at Chloe.

"Chloe, are you okay?" Ava and the others hurried over.

When she heard the name Chloe, Rosella, who hadn’t gone far, turned her head and looked at Chloe again.

This was Brother Filbert’s fiancée?

She’s genuinely beautiful, but with a somewhat dull expression. She must be slow-witted.
