Chapter 218: Chapter 192: Pretending to be Weak (2 more updates)

The discussions about the Stephens family online were getting more heated, and gradually, the topics regarding both mother and daughter were being buried.

Everyone was discussing the power struggle within the Stephens family.

The intense conflict within the family has caused both mother and daughter to be implicated.

Yvette Foster brought fruits into Building 11.

At this time, only the servants and the caretakers were at home.

Freya Leonard lay on the bed, looking at the people coming in, trying to squeeze out a smile but failing.

Yvette Foster sat down generously, looking at the miserable appearance of Freya Leonard, with a shallow smile on her face.

This smile fell into Freya Leonard’s eyes and turned into a mockery.

"Tenth sister-in-law seems to have improved a lot."

Freya Leonard was initially able to suppress this bit of anger, but upon hearing Yvette Foster’s words, she felt a burst of depression, "Yvette Foster, don’t think that I don’t know how you mock me in your heart."

Yvette Foster looked surprised and said with an injured expression, "How does Tenth sister-in-law know that I did it on purpose?"

Staring at Yvette Foster, Freya Leonard felt like spitting blood.

Her face twisted slightly, "You..."

"Actually, that day Tenth sister-in-law was trying to take my life," Yvette Foster’s tone was very gentle, just listening to her tone seemed like she was soothing someone, "but she didn’t expect to trap herself in the scheme she designed."

"Yvette Foster!"

Freya Leonard gritted her teeth.

Since they felt that Yvette Foster would not have the courage and ability to harm Freya Leonard, the servants were at ease letting them talk alone in the room.

"How do you feel, Tenth sister-in-law? Is it painful?"

"Don’t pretend to care."

Freya Leonard yelled in anger.

The room was soundproof, and nothing could be heard from the outside.

Because of the pain, Freya Leonard couldn’t make a loud noise.

"Tenth sister-in-law shouldn’t get too excited, otherwise, this injury will be difficult to heal."

"Whose fault is it that I’ve become like this?"

Now, Freya Leonard desperately wanted to tear off Yvette Foster’s false pretense.

Pretending to be weak and easily bullied, while spitting snake-like words from her mouth.

She had just left for a short while, and she came back changed.

Freya Leonard scoffed.

How did she forget how Yvette Foster had protected Chloe Stephens and helped her leave the Stephens family?

It was this same method that she used to escape.

Now she wanted to use the same method to deal with them.

Ridiculous.

Yvette Foster’s pretentious behavior, in front of powerful people, could be crushed with a single finger.

In front of the strong, no one would play this kind of trick with you.

"Tenth sister-in-law, if you hadn’t committed such a mistake, how could you have ended up in this predicament today?"

"You say what!"

Seeing Yvette Foster not even bothering to pretend, Freya Leonard’s face twisted in anger.

Her breathing became gradually uneven.

"I’ve been here for a while now, Tenth sister-in-law, I’ll come to visit you another day."

Yvette Foster smiled and stood up to leave.

"Yvette Foster, you come back to me..."

The bedridden Freya Leonard couldn’t even get up, so she could only yell.

After yelling twice, she felt a strong sense of oppression in her chest, and she couldn’t even make a sound.

Watching Yvette Foster leave, Freya Leonard’s eyes rolled back in anger.

She didn’t want to see Yvette Foster.

Yet, Yvette Foster insisted on coming anyway.

Harming her daughter intentionally, don’t even think about getting away with it.

Yvette Foster took a deep breath and walked out briskly.

Rowan Stephens, who returned from the company at noon, planned to go to Building 11 to visit Freya Leonard but encountered Yvette Foster outside.

Rowan spent half his time studying at the company and half his time returning to the Family School for classes.

Etiquette classes, shooting, swimming, cultivation, and other courses are all things that large family descendants should learn.

That’s why the descendants of the Stephens family are scheduled to be busy every day, leaving no spare time for anything else.

Especially for those in core training.

Every meal and sleep is spent thinking about how to enhance their abilities.

If you’re not strong, in the family, you’ll only get beaten up.

"Rowan," Yvette Foster smiled and stood still, looking at Rowan Stephens who was about to pass by.

Rowan turned his cold face and said, "Auntie Foster."

"Your father has heard the things said online, and now he knows your ambition, so he will definitely train you harder, so you can become the family leader of Building 1 as soon as possible."

Soft words fell into Rowan’s ears, and he suddenly turned around, his eyes cold and piercing as he stared at Yvette Foster.

His fists clenched tightly with a cracking sound.

Yvette Foster stood still with a calm expression, her face still wearing an inoffensive shallow smile, "Rowan, do you want to beat up your auntie here?"

"Those words were not said by me. With today’s technology, they can be easily faked."

"Really not what you said?" Yvette Foster said, "Then Auntie must have misunderstood you."

Rowan eased his depression and said, "My father is sincere towards me, and I will be sincere towards my father. Auntie Foster, don’t think too much."

"Auntie knows," Yvette Foster smiled, "Go and see your mother, her mood doesn’t seem to be quite right."

Watching Yvette Foster’s departing figure, Rowan frowned.

After the Taylor family retreated, Owen Taylor didn’t go on any more long trips for treatment.

He had hesitated for a long time.

Owen Taylor still went to the Medicine Hall.

When Evan Taylor’s guard saw Owen Taylor, they stopped him.

"Let me in to speak to the Family Head, I have something important..."

At that moment, Evan’s assistant came out, "The Family Head asks you to come in."

When Owen saw Evan, he bowed his head, "Old man."

Evan’s gaze moved away from the plaque in front of him, turned around, and sat down, "What’s the matter."

Such a big issue had arisen in the family.

Evan didn’t become as despondent as others.

One could vaguely feel Evan’s good mood.

After Evan confirmed that the person who opened the Golden Gate that day was the "Divine Lady," he had been looking forward to seeing her again.

"It’s related to the Cleaning Team."

Evan stared at him.

With his head hanging even lower, Owen continued, "Amelia was attacked by the Cleaning Team outside, which is related to the mentally ill child of the Stephens Family."

"Stephens Family?"

"Yes," Owen explained Chloe Stephens’ situation to Evan and then continued, "Amelia’s suspicion might not be without reason."

"Do you think a patient has that kind of ability?"

"It would indeed be impossible from the perspective of ordinary people, but since a few months ago, there seems to have been some subtle changes in Chloe Stephens. I suspect that the Cleaning Team has invited a divine doctor to treat her, and she has gained good control. After all, the Cleaning Team is not an ordinary group; they have many talented and extraordinary people, so it’s highly likely."

After Owen finished speaking, he waited for Evan’s reaction.

"So what do you plan to do."

When the question was thrown back, Owen was a bit stunned but still shared his thoughts, "Send someone to keep an eye on her. If our guess is correct, we Taylor Family can’t just pretend we don’t know anything."

Some action must be taken.

Evan still stared at him, "No matter what the real reason behind this is, the Taylor Family has already retreated, and we cannot interfere with the outside matters."

Owen couldn’t believe it, "Father?"

"Didn’t you hear what I said?"

"Yes."

Owen withdrew.

Evan called his assistant in, "Find the medical records of the child from the Stephens Family."

The assistant left and soon brought Chloe’s medical records to Evan.

Evan flipped through them.

On the file, there was an innocent-looking photo attached.

Seeing this photo, Evan’s gaze shivered.

The assistant asked, "Family Leader, is there any problem?"

"Is this the child from the Stephens Family?"

"It should be."

Evan suddenly became a little agitated.

The assistant was still puzzled.

"This child..."

It must be her; it has to be her!

Evan’s spirit suddenly became invigorated.

The assistant was very worried, asking again, "Family Leader, is there a problem with this child?"

"No problem, no problem," Evan’s face broke into a smile, but the assistant felt more uneasy seeing him smile.

The Family Leader had always been serious, never showing a smile.

Why was he suddenly smiling like a child?

"Go, find out more about this child," Evan thought for a moment and then instructed, "Don’t disturb her. If you have a chance, take a current photo."

With the medical record in hand, the assistant left in a baffling manner.

The people in Lych City couldn’t brazenly enter Sheffield City under the surveillance of the Cleaning Team, so they could only send some ordinary people over.

Although it hadn’t been half a month yet, Chloe received a call from Old Lynch first.

"Someone from the Winston Family in Lych City has been sent over."

Chloe raised her head and looked at the scorching sun. "The item, did you find it?"

"Extremely Cold Ghost Orchid appeared, but..." Old Lynch frowned, "People from Western Europe also appeared in the Land of Glacier."

Their search for the Ghost Orchid had slowed down, and they might face obstacles.

Chloe said calmly, "Give me the location."

"Huh?"

"Half the fee will be deducted."

"..."

"Or, do you want the Lynch Family to snatch it for me?"

Old Lynch glared and puffed his beard, "Little girl, are you bullying me because I’m an honest old man?"

Chloe said, "With your Lynch Family’s capability, it might not be possible to snatch the Ghost Orchid from their hands."

"What do you need this wildflower for?" Old Lynch was curious.

"To unseal."

"??"

"Someone was sterilized," which affected a certain cultivation.

"..."

He understood.

The location of the Extremely Cold Ghost Orchid was immediately sent to her.

Chloe looked at the location where the Ghost Orchid appeared, then checked the date.

Tomorrow was Saturday.

It was just right.
