Chapter 179: Chapter 155: Cancelling the Marriage. Doomed Ghost, Unlucky Qi (1 more update)

Sheffield City Aerospace Institute.

As a fellow student at the Aerospace Institute, Langley Ferguson regarded the imminent job at the Imperial Capital Aerospace Industry very seriously.

Chloe Stephens was about to leave, but unexpectedly she returned to the Stephens Family at this critical time. Langley chased her out of the institute.

"Chloe, we’re leaving for the Imperial Capital early tomorrow morning. Why are you going back to the Stephens Family today?"

Many things were not ready yet. Shouldn’t she seize the time to pack?

"There’s something at home. If nothing goes wrong, I’ll be done in half a day, and I’ll be back in the afternoon."

"With so many people in the Stephens family, what do they need an Aerospace Institute researcher like you to deal with?"

"Didn’t I tell you? My cousin has some issues with her brain. What happened today is related to her."

Langley frowned in displeasure at the mentally disturbed cousin Chloe mentioned, "It’s not worth it to delay important matters for such a person. I thought she was sent away, how did she return to make trouble?"

"Ever since she was born, there have been endless incidents around her. As her elder cousin, I should go back and have a look."

Chloe’s smile was gentle, just like her personality.

Langley thought that Chloe was simply too kind-hearted, busy with technological research all day and still worrying about her cousin at home.

Couldn’t that cousin pause for a moment?

"Let me take you there."

"The family driver is waiting outside. Don’t trouble yourself. There are still many things to do in the institute, so I’ll leave them to you."

Chloe waved goodbye with a smile to Langley, and when she turned around, her smile faded.

Stephens family main hall.

The arrival of the Fisher family members was sudden and in significant numbers.

With such a stance, one might think they were here to pick a fight.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit somber.

Some of the core members of the Stephens family had come, including several younger-generation heirs.

When Adam Stephens entered with his wife and daughter, he could clearly feel the unusual atmosphere.

Yvette Foster clenched her fists when she saw Zachary Fisher and his people, and subconsciously looked at Chloe Stephens.

Was the Fisher family here to discuss marriage between the two families?

Her daughter was still so young; the Fishers shouldn’t be so beastly as to make the young couple marry.

Pierce Stephens sat in a spacious chair, his aura cold and distant.

His dignity suppressed everyone’s restlessness.

Including Zachary Fisher.

Even in front of Pierce Stephens, Zachary had to lower his head and wait.

Filbert Fisher was dressed in formal attire, with sharp brows and piercing eyes. He exuded an aura of divine elegance as if he had stepped out of a painting!

The descendants of large families were generally good-looking, and even if slightly inferior, they still had better temperament than ordinary people.

The Stephens family members looked at this father-son duo with strange expressions on their faces. They had mentioned marriage with the Stephens family as soon as they arrived.

Pierce immediately called for a meeting with everyone.

The main hall was not in Buildings 1 and 2, but an independent ceremonial building not far from the assembly hall.

It was extremely spacious.

Entering the main hall, it was as if one were stepping into the grand hall of Ancient Rome.

Standing in this place, it highlighted how tiny a human being was.

Seated in the main seat, Pierce Stephens waited quietly like the leader of a nation for subjects to arrive.

The Fishers had only mentioned the word ’marriage’ but didn’t mention ’divorce.’

So, everyone in the Stephens family didn’t know the real purpose of the Fishers coming over today.

*

"Dad," Adam Stephens led his wife and daughter forward and called out to Pierce Stephens. He signaled Chloe to call out to her grandfather.

It had been a long time since the granddaughter and grandfather had met.

After her birth, the old man and Chloe had not met many times, and there were no memories of him in her recollections since they never saw each other during the New Year holiday.

Consequently, today’s meeting between the grandfather and granddaughter was somewhat unfamiliar.

Filbert Fisher looked disgusted when he saw Chloe Stephens.

Pierce Stephens’ cold gaze swept over Chloe before withdrawing it.

The Fisher Family’s willingness to bring up the marriage proposal at this time means that they did not look down on Chloe as their granddaughter.

Marriage symbolizes the value of a person’s existence.

Pierce Stephens doesn’t mind the Fisher Family taking the child and raising her until she’s grown up before the two youngsters get married.

That’s what everyone thought when the Fisher Family came over.

Such situations occur within big families from time to time.

Some juniors looked enviously at Chloe.

Even with her damaged brain, she still has such an outstanding fiancé; people really can’t be compared.

Being the direct granddaughter of the family leader indeed provides better circumstances.

"Today, the Fisher Family came here to take Chloe to their home."

Adam Stephens’ expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Zachary Fisher with a frown, "Dad, Chloe is still young. Isn’t it too early for her to go there? Besides, she just came back to the Stephens family, and suddenly she has to move to the Fisher family, it would be hard for her to adapt."

Yvette Foster’s face also turned ugly.

Rowan Stephens stood in the back, sneering coldly.

Going to the Fisher Family, a person like Chloe would only be tormented to death.

Kelly Stephens and the others secretly tsk-tsked, looking forward to Chloe’s miserable fate.

Filbert Fisher frowned.

Did they misunderstand?

Zachary Fisher said, "Master Stephens, you may have misunderstood."

Pierce Stephens raised an eyebrow, "Misunderstanding?"

"We’re here today to cancel the engagement."

As soon as the word "cancellation" was uttered, there was a flurry of discussions among the people present.

Most of them were overjoyed at the calamity.

Pierce’s hawk-like eyes narrowed slightly, visibly angered.

Regardless, Chloe was his direct granddaughter. The Fisher family didn’t even provide a reason before they dared to mention the cancellation of the engagement.

What did they think the Stephens family was?

"Zachary," Pierce Stephens’ voice turned low and heavy, while the pressure he radiated spread throughout the room, causing Zachary and the others to lower their heads and not dare to look up, "What do you think of my granddaughter?"

Zachary Fisher kept his head down and said, "As parents, we always want to give our children the best of everything. But as children grow up, their thoughts change accordingly, and people’s emotions are beyond control. Today, the Fisher family is canceling the engagement between Chloe and Filbert, not the marriage alliance with the Stephens family."

Everyone looked at each other.

Filbert Fisher gritted his teeth and stepped forward, "Grandpa Stephens, I don’t like Chloe; I like Ella Stephens. Please grant me and Ella your blessings!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s gaze fell on Ella Stephens, who had just entered the house.

Ella’s steps faltered, and her brow furrowed slightly.

She quickly returned to her usual calm demeanor.

Everyone was caught off guard by the scene before them.

Adam didn’t want his daughter to join the Fisher family prematurely.

But were the Fisher family pushing it too far?

They could cancel the engagement, but to turn to Chloe’s cousin instead - were they trying to make his daughters live in their shadow?

"Filbert Fisher!" roared Adam angrily, "You Fisher family are going too far!"

"Uncle Adam, personal emotions are beyond control. I want to like Chloe too. But there is no love between me and Chloe. Even if we get married in the future, we won’t be happy together, and that shouldn’t be what you want to see, right?"

"It should be our Stephens family who cancels the engagement, not the Fisher family! What qualifications do you Fisher family have? So, do you despise my daughter and bring up love and affection so righteously? Doesn’t it make you sick? If this marriage is canceled today, there will be no possibility of a marriage alliance between the Stephens family and the Fisher family!" Adam sneered coldly and glanced around menacingly, "I, Adam Stephens’ daughter, don’t need a marriage alliance with your Fisher family! And in the future, don’t expect anyone from the Stephens family to have any involvement with your Fisher family!"

Adam’s anger reached its peak, and he shattered the table on the spot.

The cold, furious roar shook the entire main hall, making it tremble.

Everyone had never seen the refined and gentlemanly Adam explode with such fury, especially in front of the family leader.

The main hall was silent as the grave for a moment.

Yvette Foster clenched her daughter’s hand and stood behind Adam.

Chloe looked at Adam with a bit of admiration.

She freed her hand from Yvette Foster’s grasp, and slowly walked forward. All eyes were on her.

The girl’s calm gaze fell on Filbert Fisher.

Her clear, cold voice echoed in the main hall, "Short-lived ghost, bad luck."

Everyone: "..."

Filbert Fisher’s perfect expression turned angry!
