Chapter 180: Chapter 156: Not Worth Wasting My Time (2 updates)

"What did you say?"

Filbert Fisher gritted his teeth, squeezing out a few words menacingly.

Everyone was shocked.

Who just said that nonsense?

Why did it sound so unreal?

Filbert from the Fisher Family was one of the most popular figures among the younger generation of the three major families.

Countless girls were begging to marry him.

Yet now, they had just heard the lunatic curse Filbert as a short-lived ghost.

It must have been an auditory hallucination.

"You’re not worth wasting my time," she continued in a cold tone, seemingly indifferent to everything, "Go away, I have other things to do."

Several people were taken aback.

Did she have a say in the main hall?

Carl Stephens glanced at Pierce Stephens.

Ella Stephens was his granddaughter, and Carl knew that under such circumstances, it was best not to engage in conversation unasked.

"The marriage alliance between both families is a significant matter. Final decisions should always be made in a meeting called by the family head. Adam, you’ve overstepped your bounds."

Gideon Stephens’ mention of overstepping authority drew many strange looks.

They doubted whether the family head was monopolizing parental authority.

Several elders looked towards Pierce at the same time, suspicions in their eyes.

Pierce’s expression remained unchanged as he glanced at Gideon.

Gideon stepped back and said nothing.

That look from Grandpa made him feel a sense of dread inside.

"Bring the token here."

Adam ignored Gideon and turned to instruct his assistant.

The assistant quickly ran back to Building 3 to fetch the token.

Adam took out the token and threw it in the direction of the Fisher Family.

"Crack."

The priceless ancient jade was smashed into pieces.

Zachary Fisher’s face turned pale in an instant, "Adam, this is the heirloom token of the Fisher Family! Breaking off an engagement doesn’t call for the destruction of property."

The token was worth a fortune, one the Stephens Family couldn’t afford to compensate for!

"Get out of the Stephens Family."

Adam angrily pointed at the gate.

Filbert looked at Ella, unwilling to concede, "We only broke the engagement with Chloe Stephens. Our families should still maintain an alliance."

"Master Stephens, your people have destroyed our ancient jade. Shouldn’t there be an explanation for this?"

Zachary Fisher clenched his fists, his expression icy as he looked towards Pierce Stephens.

Pierce’s expression remained calm, his thoughts inscrutable.

But his silence seemed to affirm Adam’s actions.

This very fact made the Fisher Family extremely unhappy.

"Zachary, you must understand that there can be too much of a good thing."

That one sentence represented the entire Stephens Family’s attitude.

Zachary Fisher sneered, "Fine, this is the choice that your Stephens Family has made for itself!"

Having thrown down those words, Zachary turned towards Filbert and said, "Let’s go."

"Dad?"

Filbert furrowed his brows and looked at Ella.

He gritted his teeth and said to Pierce, "Grandpa Stephens, my feelings for Ella are genuine. Please bless us."

Zachary didn’t stand in his son’s way.

Adam said angrily, "Anyone who has anything to do with the Fisher Family will be considered my enemy."

Filbert didn’t give a damn about Adam.

The real decision-maker in the Stephens Family hadn’t spoken up. What was Adam worth?

What was so impressive about a "eunuch" who had castrated himself?

Filbert was certain that the Stephens Family had no other choice than to align with the Fisher Family.

And as for the Fisher Family, he was convinced he was the best candidate!

Pierce watched the supremely confident Filbert and said unhurriedly, "Talk to the Patriarch of the Fisher Family about the marriage. Today, the Stephens Family is breaking off the engagement, so the announcement should also be made by us. If the Fisher Family has any objections?"

Filbert breathed a sigh of relief: "Agreed."

Zachary didn’t really want to fall out with the Stephens Family either, so he tacitly allowed Filbert to proceed as he wished.

*

The engagement was broken off cleanly without conflict.

This was welcomed by many.

With the departure of the Fisher Family, irrelevant individuals from the Stephens Family also wisely left the main hall.

Adam looked coldly at Ella, "So this is your upbringing, seducing your cousin’s fiancé, persuading him to break off the engagement."

Kenneth squinted his eyes and stepped forward, "Adam, Ella has been working tirelessly in the Aerospace Institute. Where would she find the time to mingle with the Fisher Family? Filbert probably never liked your daughter in the first place. Can you blame someone else for matters of the heart?"

Kenneth was very pleased now.

His daughter was outstanding, it was only natural to be favoured by an exceptional young man like Filbert Fisher.

Compared to Adam’s unpopular daughter, everyone found her detestable.

And Adam had burned his bridges, he had nothing to compete with Kenneth.

"Feelings? Your daughter has any?" said Adam sarcastically, "Don’t think I don’t know what she’s up to."

"This one’s also going to have a short life. No need to bother," said the girl’s voice once again.

For the second time.

Chloe Stephens had already uttered these strange words twice.

Ella Stephens frowned, "Chloe, I have no relationship with Filbert Fisher, and I don’t even know if he would like me. Don’t get the wrong idea. Please, don’t curse others with a short life just because you are angry. Doing so will make things difficult for everyone."

"Indeed, such behaviors would shorten one’s lifespan," Adam Stephens followed his daughter’s statement, speaking coldly.

Carl Stephens finally intervened, frowning. "Pierce, this is not Chloe’s fault. Adam dropped such a bomb, smashing the cherished symbol of the Fisher family. Our Stephens family needs to personally clarify this matter to the Fishers. If this ignites a retaliation from the Fisher family, I’m afraid our family will not be able to live in peace."

In essence, if anything happened afterward, it would be Adam’s fault today.

By then, Adam would be the sinner of the Stephens family.

Pierce Stephens commanded Elliot Xenos without expression, "Announce to the families in Sheffield City that our alliance with the Fisher family is canceled. The Fisher family is to blame."

"Pierce."

Carl was somewhat displeased with Pierce’s disregard.

Blaming the Fisher family directly... isn’t that an open invitation to upset the Fisher family?

Though the three major families seemingly balanced each other in Sheffield City, the Fisher family was in fact superior in strength and was the foremost among them.

The Stephens family was not even on par with the Taylor family, let alone the Fishers.

"Are you suggesting that our Stephens family bows down to the Fisher family?" A voice interrupted Carl, effectively ending his speech.

The others fell silent, too.

Even if the Stephens family was inferior to the Fisher family, they couldn’t bow down to them.

"Let only Adam’s family stay, everyone else, go do your jobs."

Pierce didn’t need anyone else instructing him.

Apart from Carl, no one else dared to utter a word.

Chloe glanced at the time and turned to leave.

"Chloe Stephens."

Pierce called her full name.

His voice was heavy.

Intimidating.

Adam was struck by his tone, realizing that his father was now settling scores.

Chloe left without saying a word, not even giving Pierce a glance.

Her dismissive attitude left the remaining people with strange looks on their faces.

Such a fool, she even dared to ignore the family leader.

Life will definitely get tougher in the future.

"Dad, Chloe hasn’t gotten much sleep, let her go back to rest first," Adam hurriedly came to his daughter’s defense.

Pierce’s expression was cold. "You’ve smashed the Fisher family’s symbol. You’ll personally make a trip to the Fisher family."

"Yes."

"As for whether the marriage alliance can continue, I have an idea."

"Dad, they’ve already slapped our faces. Do we really need to beg them to continue the marriage alliance?" Adam understood his father’s approach, but when it came to his daughter, he couldn’t stay calm.

"The family’s interests are greater than anything else, without the family, you all are nothing," Pierce’s chilling words cut off Adam’s remaining words.

From start to finish, Pierce did not bother turning to look at Yvette Foster, leaving her standing behind him like a humbled servant.

Inside the car.

Len Hawthorne turned to the girl in the passenger seat, "Feeling good?"

"Not bad."

"I received the news just a while ago that the Stephens family has called off the marriage with the Fisher family."

Len Hawthorne felt pretty good too.

Chloe glanced at him, "You’re happy?"

"Can’t I be happy for Little Chloe?"

"You can."

"No one deserves Little Chloe in the Fisher family, it’s good that they called it off. Little Chloe is too good for them, she deserves better."

"Like who?" Chloe raised an eyelid, her tone indifferent.

"You’re still young, don’t think about dating yet. Concentrate on your studies, and in the future, your elder brother will introduce someone more stable to look after Little Chloe."

Chloe raised both hands in question, "What’s happening with the Taylor family?"

"A soft approach before resorting to force, just waiting for the right time."

"Make a sound if you need anything."

"I know Little Chloe is capable, but the people with me are not kept around for nothing."

If it didn’t concern her, he wouldn’t care whether the Taylor family lived or died.

"Young Master Filbert, I saw someone from the Stephens family get into a car from a distance. They were heading in the direction of the mountain county."

The assistant watched from afar without daring to approach. Even with a telescope, they couldn’t see clearly, but they could discern the license plate.

Upon returning to the Fisher family’s home, Filbert Fisher, having heard this, narrowed his eyes, "Did you see who it was?"

The assistant uncertainly said to the person on the other end of the phone, "It seems to be a sanitation team’s vehicle."

Filbert abruptly sat up, "Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?"

"I think so."

The assistant was not overly confident.

Filbert put away his phone and told Zachary Fisher, "Dad, that idiot from the Stephens family might be secretly involved with people from the sanitation squad."

Zachary frowned, "Passing messages secretly? Hmph, it’s just a trick of the sanitation team."

Filbert thought the same. With Chloe’s abilities, she wouldn’t be able to get anyone’s attention, let alone give the sanitation squad any valuable information. "Of all people, they had to pick an idiot. The sanitation team isn’t as formidable as they seem."
