Chapter 190: Chapter 166: Have You Ever Experienced Fear? (4th Update)

The beauty machine was brought over and placed above her face.

Instead of feeling any warmth from the warm light, Yvette felt a cold chill.

As for Freya Leonard on the other side, she nodded to the technician, who swung an electric cable towards the area with heat sensors.

It would only take a minute for the wire to leak electricity, electrocuting Yvette lying on the bed.

Afterwards, all they would need to do is call it an accident, and Yvette would be dead.

Freya closed her eyes and enjoyed her beauty moment.

A minute passed, but there was no movement from Yvette.

The technician walked over and discovered that the cable had snapped, preventing the current from passing through.

This time, Yvette was lucky.

Freya furrowed her brow and gave the technician another signal.

The technician ushered Yvette into the steam room inside, saying it would help her absorb the medicinal essential oils.

Upon entering the room, Yvette became cautious as she was the only one inside, and she quietly assessed there was no danger.

As the inside of the room became hotter, Yvette rang the bell but no one responded. She tried to push on the door, only to find it locked.

Her face changed.

As the shoes she had been wedging the door open with were moved aside.

Outside.

Freya listened to the pounding noise inside and smirked.

"Bang!"

Yvette managed to kick the door open.

Freya, who was standing outside, was knocked off her feet by the force and crashed into a table behind her. She fell to the ground and suddenly started twitching.

She had been electrocuted!

The scene became chaotic.

Yvette was dumbfounded.

Had she really kicked the door open by herself?

Hospital.

Kelly Stephens hurried over from school, and when she saw Gideon Stephens and the others outside, her steps quickened even more.

"Dad, how’s my mom feeling?"

"She got electrocuted, and the blow to her head is pretty serious. The doctor is treating her now."

Gideon glanced at the unharmed Yvette and his eyes grew colder.

Kelly gritted her teeth and her eyes got colder as well, "How could my mom get hurt all of a sudden? And by electricity."

"There was a malfunction with the beauty equipment at the clubhouse, I was locked in the steam room at that time, when I came out, your mom was like this."

The technician who had conspired with Freya was brought in but didn’t dare say a word of truth.

Gideon, however, understood what had happened.

In the end, the technician had testified that Yvette was the one who kicked the door and caused Freya’s injury.

"You’re talking nonsense."

The technician at the side suddenly yelled in panic.

Everyone turned to look at him.

His face went pale, and his body trembled.

This wasn’t his business.

This was a conflict within the Stephens Family.

He was just a lowly pawn, and the family’s internal strife was none of his concern. He was just following orders.

It was Freya’s bad luck that she had been killed in self-defense by a seemingly weak woman.

Kelly glared at Yvette and said angrily, "If anything happens to my mom, I will never let you go, Yvette! Don’t think we don’t know how calculating you are. You must have planned all along to harm my mom!"

"I didn’t," Yvette said, realizing that everyone around her was watching and shook her head desperately, feeling regretful, "If I knew this would happen, I would rather be trapped in the steam room."

Trapped in the steam room?

People’s gaze shifted towards Kelly.

Kelly’s face darkened, "What do you mean? So you’re implying that my mom did this on purpose."

"I didn’t say that, Kelly. Let’s not argue about this right now - your mom is still in the operating room."

"It’s your fault that my mom’s in the operating room. You always cause trouble whenever you return," Kelly snapped.

Yvette Foster looked hurt, "Since the Stephens Family does not welcome me, I will leave with Chloe tomorrow."

"You..." Kelly couldn’t tell that Yvette Foster was just putting on a show and laughed angrily, "Don’t act innocent in front of me. You think you can come and go as you please? What do you think the Stephens Family is?"

"Kelly."

Gideon hurriedly stopped Kelly when he saw the changing glances coming from the people around them.

Kelly clenched her fists, coldly glaring at Yvette Foster.

Adam arrived at the hospital just after Freya Leonard’s surgery had ended.

The surgery was successful, and she would be discharged in just one or two weeks.

"Adam," Gideon’s eyes darken, "take your woman away from here, we’ll let this matter rest for now."

"What do you mean, Adam," Adam’s cold eyes narrowed, "You suspect my wife did something to your woman?"

"The technician from the beauty club has confessed," Gideon glanced at Yvette Foster, "It was her who caused the accident."

Adam held Yvette Foster’s hand tightly and shielded her behind him, "You must be mistaken. Everyone in the Stephens Family knows how weak and vulnerable Yvette is. If we dig deeper into this matter, it might not be so simple."

Hearing this, the technician trembled even more violently.

Gideon stared at Adam for a long time before saying, "We are brothers; I didn’t want to argue over this small matter. Adam, the family places great importance on Rowan’s growth, hoping to provide him with the best environment."

Adam left expressionlessly with Yvette Foster.

Rowan was a pawn the family used to bind him, and Adam had to endure it even if he didn’t want to.

Without getting a vasectomy, the family would inevitably force him to divorce Yvette Foster and marry a woman of equal status to have a son.

Yvette Foster gripped Adam’s hand tightly, "Adam, I’m sorry for making you worry again."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Protecting his woman and their child was his responsibility.

Chloe returned home in the evening and ran into Rowan as he was coming out.

Rowan’s eyes were colder than before, "Your mother did something big today. Very impressive."

Chloe’s voice was cold, full of sarcasm and warnings. She said indifferently, "The assassination in mountain county, you guys were ruthless."

Rowan looked over with a sudden glance, his pupils slightly shrinking.

Chloe quietly looked at him, her voice very light, "Have you ever felt fear?"

"What," Rowan’s heart constricted suddenly.

Chloe walked inside without saying anything more to him.

But Rowan’s heart was stifled by her last sentence.

He had difficulty breathing for a moment.

Taylor Family Pharmacy.

Just after nightfall, Wayne Taylor was called to the medicine hall.

He didn’t enter immediately, but the person inside had a sinking aura, the cold and solemn intimidation pressured him, "Come in."

Wayne’s scalp tingled, taking heavy steps to enter.

Inside the hall.

Evan Taylor stood with his back to him.

"Father."

"How old are you, and you still can’t manage the Taylor Family properly? What did I say?"

Wayne’s heart trembled, "Father, indeed, many things have happened lately in the Taylor Family, but none of them were provoked by us."

"So, the matter in the mountain county with the Divinity Temple wasn’t done by the Taylor Family? And if you didn’t go to the mountain county, how do you explain the search team’s arrests?"

His words, one by one, bombarded Wayne’s eardrums, making them hum, even his heartbeat quickened.

He thought the old man wouldn’t pay attention to any of this.

But unexpectedly, he knew everything about the outside world...

"Father, the Stephens Family and the Fisher Family also made moves, and we couldn’t fall behind. There might be something we’re looking for in the Divinity Temple, and the number of people who can practice ancient martial arts has been decreasing. If we can find what’s inside the Divinity Temple, it will help our Taylor Family reach new heights. I did all of this for the future of the Taylor Family."

Evan’s voice was deep and thunderous, each word hitting home, "The Taylor Family only focuses on medical skills. Those things are not for you to covet. Do you think finding the Divinity Temple will allow you to practice higher levels of ancient martial arts? That’s preposterous. If it’s beneficial, why didn’t the big families in the Imperial Capital make a move? Don’t you think they want to strengthen themselves?"

Wayne fell silent.

But in his heart, he thought that those families were probably secretly searching already.
